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.

  • Listen: could you all PLEASE refrain from posting while I am doing other things and not reading the forums, or I will be forced to quote some long-dead economist and sigh dramatically. I might even stamp my foot, thusly: <invisible foot-stamp>

    After all, don't you know we're in hell already, whether you choose to believe in it or not? Hell is other people. Ack...does that mean I'm in you all? Oh wait: we're in the giants. Are they hell? Are their brains full of grapes? Waaaait: that's IT: grapes can be glitched into wine, and what goes better with wine than...wait for it...
    a D-12. Which just goes to prove my point.

    I don't even need to defend my idea, because the giants already know it's the best one. They have spoken.

  • What is the opposite of being Hitler'd? Gandhi'd?

  • DJABRILL I WILL CAPS LOCK AT YOU BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT AFTER YOUR LAST COMMENT WHICH WAS BOTH SARCASTIC, DRY, AND PERCEIVED AS WITTY, I NOW BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE MORE IN COMMON WITH THE GUM STUCK TO THE UNDERSIDE OF MY CHAIR THAN A NORMAL HUMAN BEING CAPABLE OF COGNITIVE THOUGHT AND DEVELOPMENT. YOUR POINTS OBVIOUSLY SUPPORT THIS VIEW, AS IT IS OBVIOUS THAT YOU HAD TWO BRAIN CELLS TO RUB TOGETHER - UNTIL ONE GOT LOST, AND THE OTHER WENT OUT LOOKING FOR IT!

  • I am very like gum under a chair, actually- squished, possibly mint-favored (in times past, at least), and capable of collecting lint.

  • It is at this point I must come in and gratuitously insult as many people as possible.  

    Allow me to give you details of my future schedule as well: when I am confronted for my obnoxious behavior, I shall then insist that anyone who claims to be hurt is melodramatic and oversensitive.

    If further criticism is offered, I will apologize half-assedly while implying strongly that those who are insulted drove me to the insulting (because I can't help myself from making fun of crybabies) and therefore I am not responsible for my behavior.

    If any further criticism is offered after that, I will claim that I am being unfairly punished for my actions, which I still don't think are wrong.  No, "irony" is not in my vocabulary - why do you ask?

  • Are you sure it's not glum (pudding) stuck under your seat? She's totally minty. And also exists as proof of my idea. I'm surprised, Djabriil, that you're not mint-intolerant, since you're obviously not able to tolerate much of anything. Especially cheese. I am offended. <stamps off to a fen, which also figures prominently in the Uber-Idea>

  • Mint I'm fine with; but cinnamon? Please. Trollopy herb, worms its way into everything. I stand on principle against cinnamon due to my strong moral compass and high-minded principles which will not let me ingest such promiscuous foods. I'm only fine with mint by default, really. And fruit-flavored gum is for philistines.

  • Everything you say is so pointless because I was just about to win the game when the last test ended and will surely win it seconds after it's on again.
    So there.

  • @Voluptua Sneezelips: Cinnamon, of course. Trampiest piece of bark there is... not a day goes by I don't see something that cinnamon has managed to roll over for (or in, whichever).
    @Codex- actually, I was about to win- the screen said so when I left, so you'll be eating my dust! Hah!

  • Well, then, you're not entitled to comment, because none of this will have any effect on you. Holy jumpin': how entitled can you get? I suppose you have ALL the cheese and ALL the dice as well, and can transform into a rook at will and have 6 houses, including a nice place in hell, huh? Pah! You, madam, offend me; I am offended. With a semicolon.

  • Reset's coming, though, so the game doesn't really even start till then... I've still got a shot (I hope the prize is delicious mint-roll).

  • Oh for goodness sake!!!!!!! It is only a game you know!!!!!!!!!  It is not real!!!!!!!!

    Unlike these lovely exclamation marks, which are my favourites!!!!!!!!!

    Well, after cheese and semi-colons:

  • I suspect jasbo of being the alter-ego of Prince Jazzbo.  Just look at this quote from Wikipedia:  

    "Prince Jazzbo's early work with Clement "Coxsone" Dodd at Studio One produced several hits in 1972-1974 including: "School", "Fool For Love" and "I Imperial". His first hit in 1972 with Coxsone though was a version of Horace Andy's "Skylarking", which he re-worked as "Crabwalking".

    Crabwalking?  It's obviously a precognitive Glitch reference.  I rest my case.
    Posted 15 months ago by Wiggles The Fluent Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Feh.  I decry this impostor "Prince Jazzbo."  I suspect him of hitching a ride on a TARDIS, going back in time, and messing with my legacy.  "Croaking Lizard" is clearly a reference to the bureaucrocs.

  • I am!!!! Deeply offended!!! By the clear and Malicious Attack on my semicolons—large and unpretentious pause whilst I martial my incredibly Brilliant and Of Value and no doubt cheese-infested opinions—by the Oh! So! Interjecting! (exclamation points); O_O;;

    Further ponderous reflections of a no doubt meta nature!!!! And now I shall dribble off and lose my...hey; I'm not reading this anyway, *comma splice* why are you? Oh, and I have this idea I no longer like about the game so I'll just post that here, too. Morp.

    Also; I won the game in a previous life.

  • But I winned for being the most brilliantest, and making sure everybody knows it at every possible juncture- because, really, what good is being an awesome genius if you can't beat people over the head with it as much as possible?
    So that means I winneded. ;)

  • I am thoroughly offended by this thread, I'm not quite sure why but I don't want to feel left out *shakes fist at the screen and growls menacingly*. I would also like to hand out a fresh supply of exclamation marks, semi-colons, cheese and capital letters, for those who are running short...get in line, one at a time please...
    Posted 15 months ago by Morticia Addams Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Morticia - that idea is capital.  Also, it is cheesy.  I have been cut-and-pasting periods and commas together to make ersatz semicolons.  Pseudosemicolons.  

    PS - I see your HARUMPH and raise you one fffffffffuuuuuuuuu......!!!!!!

  • completely off my own topic: i had a very difficult afternoon. i would have felt much better if i could have been playing glitch. as it is, it is pleasing and soothing to read this string of comments, which only serve to reinforce my rule about "no beverages at the computer".

    it is also a delight to be in a collective snit with people who know what a sentence fragment is, and the proper use of a semicolon. i wish i could tell you that i have never interrupted a moment of passion with a remark about its proper use, but i would be lying.

    on topic: i do not think any of you understand my original point. i will continue to argue it until time ends or at least until i have had the last word. you simply do not understand how things are done in the world.

  • It makes me shudder with a confused sort of rage that TS haven't implemented it yet, when it is so obvious, a retarded baby would have already coded it. As a person who has a computer and can turn it on, I know for an incontrovertible fact that it is both obvious and simple.

    Why oh why oh why oh why is it taking so damned long to do it? It would improve everything a million percent, especially for the beginners and the high level players, but especially for the mid-level players, giving them a reason to get out of Groddle Heights in the morning. Plus there's no way it can imbalance the game, so don't you dare nerf it in five days after actual testing. I've tested it in my brain and that ought to be all the proof you need.

    Also, the politician/sports star you like so much is rubbish.

    I further attack you with additional hominems. Sharpened hominems.

  • The changes made to the game are ruining it.  Put it back the way it was some time ago - but don't remove any of the bits I actually like! I'm not going to explain further - it's obvious! You should just know exactly what I'm talking about!

    Furthermore, the fact that my previous suggestions haven't been implemented clearly implies that TS is out to get me.  Why are adults even playing this game anyway? They should all be at their jobs right now, making money for their teenager's WOW subscriptions!  Sheesh!

  • The minute change that TS has just implemented has RUINED ALL MY PLEASURE IN THE GAME. You nerfed the only thing I enjoyed, and now I will be all miserable and sad.  I only played the game because of this one tiny thing!!!  And the game - and by this I mean the one tiny aspect of the game IS MY WORLD.

    Someone arrest RM for semi-colon abuse!  :O  How *dare* you splice a comma??  What's it supposed to be now?  A circumflex?  An asterisk wannabe??

  • A spliced comma may become a diacritical mark. Just sayin'. Maybe. Heyyyyy, glum. 

    Sekrits! (No semicolons were harmed in the making of any of my posts; nor do I work for the Society for the Superduper Success of Semicolons; really.)

  • Rascalmom's thinly-veiled promotion of gene-splicing and genetic engineering in regards to herb and vegetable garden crops may be objectionable to some but I for one support her colonic efforts to introduce agricultural products capable of producing their own guano and anyone who disagrees is obviously.

  • I don't mean to be a pest but I can prove that Djabriil *loves* both CHEESE and CINNAMON! 

    Teehee, sorry honey but I have to.  For the good of all Glitch of course :)

    Anybody can take a look at my bio in my profile.  The last sentence is quite true.  Djabriil was the one to suggest it in fact, due to our shared love of cheese.  Sometimes at night, we've been known to play the "Cheese Game" too, where we take turns naming different kinds of cheese until one of us can't think of one.

    And cinnamon... where do I start?  The man loves him some Cinnamon Roll ice cream.  Not to mention that *I* take a cinnamon supplement twice a day so I'm quite cinnamon-y myself and I know he loves me, why else would he want to marry me (at least I'm assuming that's why he put this ring on my finger LOL).

    So again, I'm sorry for calling you out dear Djabriil <3  but the Glitch World just had to know the truth :)
