On other forums people have often mentioned that rpgcodex has a weird thing going on with fallout. And after seeing threads like this I can confirm it.SuicideBunny said:all that infatuation with fo3 going on here sure seems weird.

Yeah, that struck me as odd, too. But then the same it true of Americans who constantly seem to specify that they are talking about America(ns) even when it doesn't seem necessary or even sensible to do so.St. Toxic said:Anyone else surprised they're actually calling the area "Capital Wasteland" ? I remember constantly doing that as a joke in an effort to ridicule Bethesda, and they, like, just went with it or something? Jeez.
Oh, come on. That'd be too dumb even for Bethesduh, wouldn't it. Wouldn't it?Matt7895 said:In that Gametrailers interview one of the developers said the White House is a smoking ruin...

Matt7895 said:I see you like to act superior.
Matt7895 said:I'd like to say that there are Codexers here trying to post spoilers over there, but there are also Codexers like me who are just doing some light-hearted trolling,

Xi said:I swear, trolling is no different than say terrorism or even communism, it's just a label to remove the credibility of something, promote fear, and cause preemptive action without just cause.
Many of the people who are so called "trolls" are simply stating the blatant truth, in your face, much like a comedian after they point out something that is too obvious to be true and you laugh, and maybe even shit your pants, because it's so damn ridiculous and funny.
So if trolling is just revealing the truth in elaborately funny ways, then I guess we're all trolls. Censorship much?

Interesting place to find a David Icke quote. :D
EDIT: Let me rephrase that. I meant Bill Hicks. David Icke used Bill Hicks' quote in a book I read recently. The analogy fits perfectly.
British author exposes the reptilian bloodline that rules the world. Learn the truth about many people, including the British Royals, Brian Mulroney, ...
Arguing -- whether in a diplomatic or vitriolic manner -- that that FO3 sucks isn't trolling. I'm of the opinion that being labeled a troll and being banned for it is bad moderation, as are most other people here. However, repeatedly posting something along the lines of "I think that FO3 is going to be a great game! It'll be true to the past Fallout games! I love Bethesda!" is stupid trolling, as is spamming spoilers. It's an incredibly rare occurrence that either of those acts are done in a elaborate or funny way.
No, you're not the only one. When I saw this thread had almost doubled in size since last looking in it I thought there might be some interesting debating or at least more righteous bitching going on. Instead I find 10 pages of retards chucking shit at other retards and high-fiving each other for it.Admiral jimbob said:Honestly, am I the only one who doesn't find simply spamming spoilers funny? We can do better than that. The reactions might be amusing, but on the whole it's just dickish, and not very clever at all.
Xi said:Yeah, it can get old I guess, but it's a sarcastic way of capturing the ethos of the ESF. If done right, the mods wouldn't even know the difference because it's the verbal diarrhea of so many Pro-Bethesdians over there.
This is the irony too. They ban people for being too critical, even if you spend a lot of time and create fairly detailed posts - and do some with "civility and honor," or they simply delete your hard work and tell you "We did this to prevent flaming." So it's like they say, "we don't want to ban the people who like us, so to avoid this, we will just delete your thought provoking post, or just ban you." Censorship at its finest.
Keep the media dumb, and keep the masses dumber. Kill(ban) the communist, terrorist, trolling dissenters!
