[QUOTE=Zonesylvania;46045700]To be fair he was quite labile at the time, what with the constant harassment. He could have also viewed it as being elaborate sarcasm as well, given how much other people were persecuting him.
Or else he simply had no intention of changing the way he posted, which would be more obvious, given that he said on multiple occasions 'I can't change the way I post' so there's that as well. I still say he didn't deserve the harsh treatment that he did receive at the hands of those who were more openly hostile towards him.[/QUOTE]
Exactly, people didn't understand that what they did caused Swog to act the way he did.
Honestly, the mods need to look not just at the post hey want to ban for, but the post that its responding to or the conversation it was a part of. An example of this would be Dub and Renegade recently. Renegade should have received some sort of ban for flaming, especially since he has a history of it.
As well, I think the entire "rules aren't exhaustive" is a load of bullshit. Write down all your rules or don't enforce the ones that aren't written down.

[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;46046749]I told STGYM chat that dub added me on steam.
We talked about misc things and I told chat, then I got 2 steam profile comments from 2 random people telling me Dub is a fag (that was the gist of it). That was after I denied their friend request.
Some people must live such a sad life to go to such measures. Probably bullied themselves.[/QUOTE]
What the literal fuck? Harassing you because you decided to talk to him? That's completely retarded.
[QUOTE=Lordgeorge16;46046511]Fire Emblem is a turn-based strategy game, not a real-time strategy game.[/QUOTE]
Well if you want to get super technical all games are real-time since time's always passing. :v:
[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;46047082]Oh no, they werent harassing me. It was as if they were trying to let me know the dangers of dub or some shit.[/QUOTE]
Either way that's a really no life thing to do.
It's like middleschool bullies "He's talking to the unpopular kid better tell him how much of a fag that kid is before he's unpopular too!!"
I really don't mind the xD faces anyways, I think they give personality to people who are typing. That's one reason fp is so weird to me, everyone types the same and all the posts sound like it's coming from a single person. I use faces like : D all the time outside of fp.
Depends. Some emoticons are fine, like I use :3 and ;_; sometimes, or :^) when I want to be facetious
but "xD" gives off the impression of a "rawr lol so random" Hot Topic teenager to me

shit oops
i guess strategy games in general
[QUOTE=Skyward;46045576]I Won't lie and say he was a flawless poster. He did say some stupid/awkward things, but nothing that deserved to be met with flat-out harassment. Some people offered advice and often the advice was ignored, but that does not mean that anyone should resort to [I]personal insults[/I]- harassment like that is childish and needlessly hostile. And it got to the point where even totally innocuous posts made by him were met with shit flinging, and this would set him off and people would get pissed at him for acting up- denying the fact that it was their harassment that caused it. They'd tell him to just ignore it, when damn near every post he made was met with insults, and in reality it should have been the people who were upset by him in the beginning that should have let it go. And then there were the people who tried to justify their hostility by saying it's "helping him". Shut up. Personal insults were not helping anything. To make matters worse it seemed he was not emotionally stable, possibly depressed or at the very least expressed how upset the treatment he recieved made him- and yet people continued harshly bashing him. And for what? He made "bad posts". Disgusting.
Overall the whole thing was a shitshow of people making a stupidly big deal out of an awkward, inexperienced, yet overall harmless and innocent poster and then trying to justify their horrible behavior. It just goes to show how belligerent this place can be. Its like people just needed a runt to kick around. He should have been ignored, yet people just felt the need to make him into a punching bag and it caused the whole scenario to spiral out of control.
At the very least his ban will keep him from being harassed further.[/QUOTE]
Its nice to know that not every facepuncher has no sense of perception.
These people always need someone to bully, so they can pat themselves on the back like the hypocrites they are.
[QUOTE=DeVotchKa;46045597]Well, Fire Emblem isn't really an RTS imo, more of a Tactics styled game but I can totally see why people wouldn't dig it.[/QUOTE]
I played the demo on 3ds, and it felt like it was turn based strategy?
Unpopular opinion, I [B]hate[/B], MMO games, every single one I've played, felt like a grindfest and a lot of fetch questing for a bunch of NPCs I didnt give a toss about, and now I cant even go near an MMO game, I just cant get myself to play one.

Well that's what Tactics games are. I don't know if it's an actual genre but in my mind it's what I put these sorts of games under because years ago I played Tactics Arena Online, a really old game like that, and since then have seen a boom in that style of game. So that's what I call. Turn-based strategy involving squads/armies, Tactics-styled games.
swog also called me a faggot for disliking Runescape
he also spammed me with porn, besides that he was aight
For my unpopular opinion: I found MGS Peace Walker to be decent.
It's actually my 3rd favorite game in the series.
[QUOTE=ImpSnob;46050430]swog also called me a faggot for disliking Runescape

Yeah, I remember when he was telling me about that. He tried blaming it on you.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;46051494]An even more unpopular opinion: I find the Metal Gear Solid games boring. The controls are ass in most of them and the story is really not that great. And that's a big deal for a game that focuses on story as much as it does.[/QUOTE]
Controls are pretty easy to get used to actually and the story is better than most games out there, even if it is a generic war story mixed with fantasy elements.
TBH most games have mediocre and unoriginal storylines but the different characters and the gameplay give it that twist that makes playing videogames special in their own way.
Red Vs. Blue is really unfunny. Maybe it's a nostalgia thing, but I just don't find any humor in it.

I think it's probably good but not for everyone, wasn't really for me.
pugs are the shittest and most annoying dogs ever to grace this fucking planet

When niandralades sees this she'll probably join the group of mods who are known to make... questionable bans.

I really don't get the fascination with them, they lookfucking retarded.

You're getting really upset over a breed of dog, yo.
[QUOTE=Skyward;46055536]You're getting really upset over a breed of dog, yo.[/QUOTE]
Not getting upset over the dog, I'm getting annoyed with everyone ogling over pugs like they're the best thing in the world.
they still look retarded tho.
"I don't have anything to hide" is a stupid reason to support things such as google tracking, NSA, etc.
The fact that Google services are free and that's how they're paid for is somewhat better.

I feel the same way with corgis and shiba inus.

This is unpopular? I'd have thought most people would have agreed that was a shit reason to think those things are okay.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;46055924]I dunno, I've heard people say that millions of times. It was a pretty popular phrase when ACTA was trying to get passed.[/QUOTE]
I am giving people too much credit apparently.
[QUOTE=sphinxa279;46055535]I really don't get the fascination with them, they lookfucking retarded.[/QUOTE]
Beagles, German shepherds, and golden retrievers are easily the best three breeds of dog.
Terriers best dog breed
Except for bull terriers, they're the ugliest, most retarded looking dogs out there.
They look like giant fat mice with down syndrome lol
I know it's cool to hate on little yappy dogs but I just love chihuahuas
They're just so cute and playful

German Shepherds best dog all dogs.
I don't like dogs. They're annoying.
