I would rather you ignore my posts.  If you took the time to read it you would have laughed out loud, most likely, I know I did, and so have a whole host of others.

Well said, Storm. Clint Eastwood's best character, imho, was William Muny from Unforgiven, and he even whined and cried.

I would rather you ignore my posts, Sarah, thank you very much.

I wasn't even talking about anything you said, just the quote from DG. I did read it. I have seen that quote before. I know that it is meant facetiously. I still don't like it and don't see why not liking it is so damn offensive.

I'm not very impressed with Alistair anyway. He's a whining, babbling idiot who can count pretty high.

Here is a David Gaider response to things like this *points to above quote*

"Tell you what.

Next time we put in a male lead, we will make sure to make him the
manliest and most stoic creature you could possibly imagine. Just for
you.

He will be so manly he will suck the body hair right off of
John Wayne and make Chuck Norris weep with envy. He will never show a
single emotion, not even at his grandmother's funeral, and will never
utter a single complaint about your actions... he will simply reach out
of the game, slap you across the face and then take over the party.

The
rest of the party won't mind, and neither will you... because he will
be that awesome.  Deep down inside you will resent him, and resent the
fact that every NPC in every town the party enters falls in love with him and not with
you. But that part of you also knows he deserves that love. Even needs it.

I am certain there is not a single fault that you or anyone could find with such a character."

I don't know why a snarky comment from Gaider is taken as a serious argument.

It's perfectly legitimate to  argue that Alistair is not whiny, I do so myself. But I don't see how those who do say Alistair is whiny are expecting a character like what Gaider is describing. They could be expecting Alistair to be more like Sten.

EDIT: Oh. Ninjaed
Nevermind I guess.

I don't really like that quote. People can not like Alistair (even if they might want to post that elsewhere) or think that he complains or talks too much without automatically wanting him to be the most badass badass that ever lived.

And KoP, you didn't miss the prompt. Regular prompts start up again on the 8th, these are just guest ones.

I don't think anyone who would post that Alistair is a "whining, babbling idiot..." in the Alistair Gush thread is too interested in having an intelligent conversation, so Gaider's quote works just fine.

[KnightofPhoenix]

Can anyone see my 2nd sig btw?

[rak72]

I see KoP/knight of phoenix, Log McT, & Xanatos/BoO

[inclemency]

Thank you, Tuppence and Rage, of course it's not serious, just an, obviously, misguided attempt at some humour (for some people).

I know they were trolling and I did say that someone posting that here probably wasn't. I did not feel that it was out of line to see a joking DG quote and comment that the quote in general (not the situation it was applied to, the person who quoted it, anything else specific to anything outside of the quote) kind of annoyed me. What is so offensive about doing that anyway? No one here wrote it.

[inclemency]

Yes well, I guess I can count on you to dismantle jokes. I'll keep that in mind in future.

Oh my God, what the hell did I do? Why are you flying off the handle? I know you were joking. I know he was joking. Why can't I say that I didn't like his joke? Why does that ruin your day and make you ask me to never talk to you again? Is it really that big of a deal?

[KnightofPhoenix]

Did I miss fights like that the entire time? Tsk tsk tsk

Awesome character!  Awesome movie!

Sarah, I don't think what you said was offensive.  But I can see why Storm didn't appreciate it.  TBH you remind me a little of my late mother.  She was a really good-hearted woman and I loved her dearly, but her tact was broken.  And she never realized it and would get very hurt and upset when comments she thought were okay ended up angering people.  And anger people, she did!  But she never meant to.

Nope. I can see Battle of Ostagar on the lower line, that's it. Sorry.
Will I get tarred and feathered if I think that Gaider's comment is hilarious. "Snarky" - yep, that it is. Hi KoP, Happy New Year!
edit: Ok, now I can see it:wizard:

I don't even know what's happening anymore!



Also, KoP, you should read Mistakes b/c in it Loghain is awesome~!

[tuppence95]

Hi KoP!  I can't see your second sig.  Happy New Year.

Did you see that I've unwillingly been having erotic Loghain dreams?  *sob*

[LadyDamodred]

Happy New Year to you, too!

It's on my ff.net page. Don't have a convenient link atm. Of course, it's Alistair-centric so you probably won't like that about it. But still. Loghain. Awesome.

Eeek it's long.
I'll read it after I finish reading a book I started. Thanks!

[LadyDamodred]

Yes, it is long. Take your time. \\o/

[inquartata02]

I have to agree, the Loghain in Mistakes is pretty damn awesome.

[tuppence95]

No more teasing, Rage!  At least not in the Alistair thread.  

Ok, I can't procrastinate starting my cooking any longer.  Guests are on their way over, and I'm sitting here posting!
