Re: SWTOR
Any character types similar to Imperial Knights?
Are they of the same time period as this game?
The closest I think would be the Sith Warrior Juggernaut
Sith Warrior - Star Wars: The Old Republic Wiki

Re: SWTOR
My mistake, the Imperial Knights are around the time of the second Empire and Cade Skywalker.
Basically grey Jedi who use the dark side but not in a naughty way.
Yeah, okay, there's not really a Character Class that would correspond to that... but you could roll up a Jedi Knight and just get a bunch of dark side point by doing the naughty stuff... that won't really get you the dark side powers tho.

Re: SWTOR
Still, I'm hearing the sound effects of the blaster weapons in my head now so I'm going to look into fixing my laptop screen and getting stuck in.
While the 'pew pew' of a blaster rifle is nice, the 'wown wown' of the lightsabers is particularly exciting to me.
But on top of all that, the music in this game is just amazing, as you're approaching something important... the 'bump-buh-budda-buh' starts kicking in, or when you're fighting and the combat music starts.... yeah man, like I said its a fantastic game.

Is it trolling?
Too often you end your posts speculating on the motives of the person you're replying to. For example:
Message 310
quote:
don't try and downplay just to save the face of religion.
I wasn't trying to save the face of religion at all, I did have an actual point to make.
Its things like: "You're just saying that because..."
It totally unnecessary and against the rules. Its impossible for you to know my true motives for posting what I do, and there's no reason whatsoever for you to try to guess why it is. I consider it trolling because the only purpose it serves is getting a rise out of your opponent, although, it could just be a case of being too big of an idiot to understand what you're doing.
But lets see how you like it:
You're such a jerk to everyone because you're pissed off at the world because you fucked up your life up so much that you can't even afford to play the latest MMO.

Re: Is it trolling?
However, you should look up the definition of troll
I know what trolling is... its when you post something to make the other person mad.
and you shall see that anything I do could not be construed as troll-like behavior in any sense of the common usage of the term.
Dude, you troll people. Its obvious.
Shall I offer some examples?
quote:
it is really only the pigheaded buffoons who say otherwise.
quote:
whatever is in that goo you call a brain. Crack open a book buddy. Try, for once, to learn a thing or two.
You're such a jerk to everyone because you're pissed off at the world because you fucked up your life up so much that you can't even afford to play the latest MMO.
Yes. Great analogy because so often I personally attack other members.
Where did I say "personally attack other members"?
Just because I call you out when you make assertions that are completely false and can be easily shown to be wrong, doesn't mean I am attacking you personally.
It has nothing to do with calling people out for the wrong stuff they say. Its the other stuff... like I said: speculating motives n'stuff.
I know it hurts to be proven wrong, but a personal attack it is not.
I didn't say it was a personal attack, and I don't think it hurts to be proven wrong.

No, you obviously do not.
How is trolling different from posting something to make the other person mad?

Re: Is it trolling?
Trolling is saying something or taking a position that is contrary to your own position. Trolling would be like if Buz came out and said "haha fuckers. I'm actually an atheist and have been trolling you guys all along.". It would be more like "lying" if we want to dumb it down to a singular word that is more readily understandable. Or, perhaps, like playing devils advocate with malicious intent.
Um, no. That's not right. Trolling is not role-playing (tho it can be).
Here's your own quote:
wiki writes:
In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[3] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[4]
Paraphrased: "A troll is someone who posts inflammatory messages with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response".
Or like I said:
"its when you post something to make the other person mad"
If you're not contributing to the discussion, but you're just throwing funny one-liners out there as a rub against your opponents, then you're trolling. You do it all the time.

Re: Is it trolling?
Paraphrased: "A troll is someone who posts inflammatory messages with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response".
Wrong again (at least in how it pertains to me). What you are trying to say is that my primary objective here at EvC is just to rub people the wrong way.
No. Its when the primary intent of the particular message you're trolling with, is to provoke. Not your primary intent of being here.
I'm not saying you "are a troll", I'm saying that you "do troll". Not everything you post is trolling... but much of it is.
What is the reason this accusation started? because Moose labeled me a troll for no other reason than because I used the word shit a few times in my OP, which in and of itself is a libelous accusation.
I don't think that's why Moose suspended you. I think its because he thought that the purpose of your OP was provoking readers into an emotional response, i.e. trolling. Now, your OP didn't read that way to me, it did seem sincere, but I don't think Moose read it that way.
And I brought this up because you do troll a lot, and you were saying that you didn't... which is now explained by you showing that you don't really know what trolling is.
Here is an example of trolling described.
Dude, those are ways to troll specific subsections of 4chan. That's not a description of what trolling is. For example, 4chan.org/v/, the subsection "v", is for video games. How would you provoke emotional responses in that section? Start a console war or say that video games are not art. Then people will respond angrily.
So i will say again: if I were to troll EvC, I would do nothing but sling shit.
Wrong. Everytime you respond in a way to not promote the discussion, but instead to make the person mad, then you are trolling in that particular message. Maybe you'll troll 5 times one day, maybe you'll go a whole day without trolling.
I could, for example, make a bunch of posts claiming that the earth was 6000 years old and jesus was a communist jew. Being offensive to a particular subset of people does not a troll make.
It depends if you're doing it to provoke an emotional response or not.
If I were a troll, I would have to be a troll to everyone.
Wrong again. You could just troll one specific individual one time.
Go to 4chan and learn what a troll is.
That's stupid. You've already provided a definition from wiki, and I already know what trolling is.

Re: trolling example

Re: trolling example
Of course it is. fishing is the action of attempting to catch fish, otherwise it would be called catching, instead of fishing. Just as shopping is different than buying. I can shop all day and not purchase anything but I am still shopping.
I think it is less clear that trolling exists, in the context we are speaking about, unless the emotional response is received.
"A troll is someone who posts inflammatory messages with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response".
Trolling is the action of attempting to make the other person mad. You can troll all day and not make anyone mad, but you're still trolling.
ABE:
Its just unsuccessful trolling. Even if nobody responds, it'd still be trolling. Sometime people respond just to say that you're trolling, even tho their not mad, and that just wouldn't make sense otherwise:

Added By Edit
So what if your position offends people and causes them to have an emotional response. Does that make you a troll, because someone was offended by your opinion?
No, its about your intention.
