generic proposal of controversial game idea

i would like to propose a change to the game that some people will hate.

this will stir up a discussion about how it will manifest in-game.

it's not that i love trouble; it's just that i would rather be talking passionately about glitch than sitting and not playing it.

so. insert your own hated idea here. don't tell us what it is, but argue fiercely for it.

  • Why on Urth would you want to do that?!  That would just mimicking so many other games out there; ie. Flaw, Fault, Defect to name a few!! We dont want to be a copycat.

  • I'm going to write a longwinded and ultimately pointless discussion about the human condition, in which I will imply that previous posters, specifically Innie, haven't really thought about the issue at hand, which is a Very Important Issue, hence my need to write a longwinded and ultimately pointless discussion about it.

    My longwinded and ultimately pointless discussion will go on for, yea, six or seven paragraphs, each paragraph carefully constructed to be flawless in its execution, down to the last comma; this, I believe, will protect me from the counterarguments that will inevitably leveled in my direction, targeting my misuse of style if I should so happen to misuse it. Which I will not. (Except in cases of dramatic timing, as in the case of the previous sentence, which happens to be a sentence fragment. As do these two.) By so meticulously laying out my argument, I believe that I am being thorough by showing my knowledge and the fact that I, unlike previous posters (and specifically Innie), have invested my own Effort and Wisdom and a lot of Valuable Time to this long winded and ultimately pointless discussion of a topic--that means it is a Valuable Topic, and since I have a lot to say about it, clearly all of you should listen to me. In addition, I am terribly, terribly meta, and none of the future readers of this post will miss the opportunity to hypothesize that I am an arrogant, pretentious (insert slur of your choice).

    My longwinded and ultimately pointless discussion of the Issue At Hand continues with a highly condescending paragraph containing one or all of the following:
    1) Excessive amounts of jargon (with parenthetical commentary carefully explaining what each term means, for those users of Glitch who are suffering from an allergy to Google or some kind of crippling handicap that restricts them from using it)
    2) Excessive amounts of talk about Society, and the Nature of Humankind, and--may the gods forfend--The Political or Economic Climate.
    3) Excessive amounts of disclaimers, in case of the inevitable counter-arguments, that I am none of the things that I am terrified of being, and all of the things I pride myself on being, and this is true whether the future readers of my longwinded and ultimately pointless discussion think so or not.

    In no part of this paragraph will I realize that this supports the hypothesis of the previous one, to wit: I am an arrogant pretentious (insert slur of your choice).

    That paragraph neatly tied up, I shall move on to the most insufferable paragraph of them all: The paragraph in which I detail the coming of the Apocalypse. This Apocalypse will come about due wholly to the events that transpire upon this very board. I will make Ominous And Portentous Predictions about the future of Glitch--or, indeed, the non-future of Glitch--if indeed whichever side of the argument I stand upon does not win clearly and decisively. I will call into question the future users of Glitch, and I will assume that All Of Them, down to the very last piggie, will be Sensible and Thoughtful People identical in belief, creed, and terribly-meta-ness to My Own Self.

    At the end of this message, I will include a whimsical little concluding paragraph. I may ask questions to stimulate further discussion, but I'm probably too much of an arrogant, pretentious (insert slur of your choice).

    TL;DR: I'm an arrogant, pretentious (insert slur of your choice), and I have managed to say in one sentence the only part of my argument that matters; I now suffer from a distressed and miserable feeling that I just wasted four hours of my life writing an longwinded and pointless discussion when one sentence would have done, but so that all that effort is not wasted, I will be posting my full longwinded and pointless discussion anyway.

  • Well said Arii. I agree with your comments just enough so that someone else may come and disagree with mine or misconstrue them to the point that they set off another set of long winded meaningless comments about my comments thus continuing the chain of run-on sentences enough to keep us busy until such time as we get bored with the discussion and move on.

  • @ Arii

    You didn't spend enough time thinking through your post, and you really could have stood to at least mention the Apocalypse, and things Of Value.

    And besides, at least MY proposal contains copious quantities of cheese. Unlike yours. So there.

  • @Holly Waterfall -- I can see that you are a Sensible and Thoughtful Person, unlike @Voluptua Sneezelips, who has got it all wrong. Cheese is completely irrelevant, and I'm offended that you even mentioned it.

  • Shucky darn, self deprecating comment. I just want to play the game. You all have far too much time on your hands, obsessively posting in these forums. I mean, of course I'm totally ignoring the fact that I, too, am posting in these forums, why would any of my rant apply to myself? I'm just this glitch, y'know? Who wants to play the game. This is my escape from stupidity! This does not mean that my misanthropy does not extend angrily into my online interactions... of course it does, when there are ridiculous ideas such as this cropping up on the forums far too often, IMNSHO. Why do you all want to legislate my fun away?

  • I would just like to take this moment to say that I have no ideas (good or otherwise) about cheese. That is, except it takes a lot of energy to make.

    Also, I don't agree or disagree with any of you.

    So there!

    PS - cheese is SO relevant!

  • Cheese offends me, on a number of inexplicable and vague levels, so I demand that the devs strike all cheese, cheese usage, and mentions of cheese. After all, I find it a personal attack- and you don't want to offend one for the enjoyment of hundreds of others. do you? I'm important, daggummmit.

  • +1 CoffeeSnob. Obviously you are a superior being of superior intellect--sorry: Superior Intellect--who is one of the few people who truly understands the actual point of this game, and of My Idea. Which does not involve semi-colons; that's how I roll. Unless the selection process were to use dice. Then it *would* be how I rolled. And how the rest of you should just accept you're going to have to roll too. And of course the Rook would have veto power, unless we were to achieve a quorum, in which case the Rook would be overruled. Blue, 'cos snakes don't have armpits.

  • +1 Voluptua Sneezelips. I, being of superior intellect (but, clearly not friends with Superior Intellect -which I plan to correct momentarily), agree with you.

    PS - @Djabriil - Cheese should only offend if it gets really, really, really stinky.

    ...Or, if you have weak biceps.

  • @CoffeeSnob- I have very sensitive olfactory capacities... therefore all cheese should instead be tofu. I have spoken!
    ;)

  • OMGiant, Djabriil. I am SO NOT voting for you in Glitch Mash anymore. If you can't take the cheese, get out the Glitchen! It's all about the cheese. And rolling. Why can't you just understand that?

  • I think that the d12 should be recoded into a d13 so that we can have 11 giants, 1 rook, and 1 cheese.
    Posted 15 months ago by Wiggles The Fluent Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Because cheese is evil! I thought that you, a seemingly sophisticated type, would be on my side about such an undeniable scourge, but I see how it is... and errrrbody who disagrees... well, I just don't think I can say such things in a forum! (rhymes with "poodie-head").
    Harrrumph!

  • +1 to Wiggles The Fluent - You are a VISIONARY!!

    @Djabriil -   I am allergic to soy! I would die (or just really feel all-around yukky) if we changed everything cheesy (hehe) to tofu.

    I believe we are at an impasse. Meanwhile, your olfactory sensitivity could be resolved with a small-ish (or large-ish, as I have seen said olfactory area) clothespin.

    @SookieYaki - mental is in the mind of the beholder.    ;D

  • This is off-topic, but I do not care, because it is incredibly 'portant:
    1. Glitch Mash outfits are more appealing if they are colourful and/or ridiculous. I get more votes with a ridiculous unicorn hat on than I ever did with my normal, everyday outfit.
    2. Outfits should definitely be made available that are themed on a certain dairy product. And dice.
    3. I have gleefully violated @flask's terms by actually stating an idea.
    4. And +1 Wiggles. The whole dice system needs to be overhauled to support the one true idea.

  • @CoffeeSnob- I am allergic to clothespins... and a clothespin killed my older brother! There is a bloodfeud between myself and all clothespins, so I must decline and continue to be irrationally offended.

  • CAN WE PLEASE RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL TOPIC!?  Jesus you people have shorter attention spans than Ritalin-addicted cats!  I have really important things to bring up about the original poster's grammar and casual use of punctuation.  Do you think this is a goddamn IRC CHANNEL? Get an education similar to my own, before you ever post again!  This is a serious forum where SOME people are trying to GET THINGS DONE!  Just dealing with you children is enough to make me grind all the way through my retainer, geez...

    PS I can't even be bothered to care anymore, really.  Glitch was so much better in Alpha.

  • *sigh*

    @Djabriil - I had no idea that you and clothespins were at odds with one another. Please accept my apology. However, cheese has done nothing to you.... Does milk offend you as well? How 'bout butter?

  • I don't actually care. I am, right now, eating a cheeseburger loaded with mushrooms, tomato, onion, and enough smoked Swiss to provoke a blockage the size of a Volkswagen. I merely wished to finally be offended by something. How liberating it must be to be so reflexively offended every day! I'd strenuously cultivate a reaction of that sort more often, but it seems too exhausting, tbh.

  • @flirty-ummmm, sorry..?

    @glum-hey, hi, hey

    @Djabriil-mmmmmmm, that sounds really yummy! And, haven't you learned that using energy (like the energy you've been using to be irrationally offended by cheese) will send you to Hell? You may need said energy to squeeze a chicken... Unless, of course, you are now offended by squeezing or chickens or both.   >.>
    Posted 15 months ago by CoffeeSnob Subscriber! | Permalink
  • What if I don't believe in Hell? Maybe I think that, when I die from exhausted sensitivity, I will ride a banana-horse to a land of magic... pies? Then this "Hell" which you aver will be my destination might, in fact, be some sort of attempt to give the finger to me in a concerted attempt to insult my (admittedly vast) intelligence! Nevermind that, upon first tickling my sinuses with no-no, I was whisked away to a place that certainly did not contain magic pies... the idea of Hell itself is offensive, and I won't hear it or respond to it!
    Pshaw!

    PS- Harrrumph! as well.

  • Metaphysical implications of No-no powder and Beer; stinky cheese Problems. Rename all the animals Thlopper or I will be deeply offended; then I will have to put on CLOTHES. And that would be a very ugly thing—indeed. Ramble, ramble, ramble; please talk to me because I need to be Acknowledged for my Brilliance. Also; and; intelligence is measured in vague statements; and lots of SEMICOLONS. Semicolon "semicolon" semicolon ... ellipsis ...
    WWIO? Now? How 'bout now? Or; now?

    tl;dr semicolons
