Topic

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.

  • This thread is mine; this no-no is mine. Glitch is all mine! Everything is mine! In fact, I henceforth lay claim to any disputed islands, territories, strips, or otherwise unclaimed places on the planet; as well as most of Antarctica; and Ix, too! Nyah nyah nyah! It's all mine!

    Why isn't anyone arguing all this mining with me?

  • *spoken with air of smug superiority*  If this thread had not been hijacked by (nose goes higher in the air) this extraneous mining thread, we would no doubt have resolved this whole issue by now.   *sanctimoniously advises* Please move this argument to the off topic section (and let those of us with superior intelligence continue to pontificate).

  • @jasbo - I suppose you're pro-mining; typical. Everybody wants to jump on that bandwagon, because everybody knows that everybody who mines truly understands and gets what Glitch is all about. I wish everybody would stop being pro-mining just because it's cool; it's sad, really.

    Besides, even though I don't personally know any of the devs, I know exactly what they're planning and will pass down this arcane knowledge at all times, regardless of its reliability. Because they came to me in a dream and told me that this test we're only going to be able to mine and nothing else. I have spoken; and since I'm clearly a genius, you can rest assured that this information is straight from the top (of my head).

  • Djabrill - you used to be about the mining.  

    Now you're all about the shrimp.

  • Really, the only thing I want more than shrimp at this point is to go back to the blue room (sans pigeons, if possible).

  • I thought that we all agreed that having minors was controversial.  Now everyone on these forums is all pro-minors.  MY family began as minors, each and every one of us, 'afore we growed up.

  • You all don't know anything about mining. My grandfather was a goat turd minor. A near-illiterate goat turd minor. The years of hard labor gave him blackturd lung, so he couldn't speak, but he passed down all his goat turd minor knowledge through the written werd.

  • @djabrii clearly my sense of humor is so far superior to yours, and in fact, to all of yours, that you are unable to discern my use of sarcasm. i will now link to the wikipedia definition of sarcasm which is far superior to any other definition of sarcasm. and then i will let you determine if i am currently being sarcastic or not.

    and i am simultaneously rolling my eyes at all of you, due your to inappropriate uses of semi-colons.

  • I'm actually above all this; I don't really care about any of these issues; I'm only trying to stir the pot because even though my life is awesome, my favorite mode of entertainment is letting others know how awesome my life is; particularly when it annoys people, which is why I do it ad nauseum; and as my mom always told me, sarcasm is the refuge of... something. I'm sure it was important, but like I said, I'm above it.
    PS - ;;; (I'll just leave these here)

  • -1 CoffeeSnob. As I declaimed 'way back up there somewhere, this is, clearly. the worst. thread. ever.

    Worst; in fact. Especially since you brought up miners and made fun of them. I am descended from miners. And now, here, you have all condescended. I here ewe. Baa. I am also descended from seamen.

    And that is why.

  • I am also descended from seamen of a sort. It is the way of the world. My health teacher told us about it, and I guess that means that everybody used to be sailors; maybe there wasn't any land a long time ago or something.

  • =Djabril, I think I learned in school that all of us are about fifty percent seamen

  • You guys have gone completely off topic here...whats with all the mine and minor and semi-colons. I thought we were talking about the cheese... carry on....

    Eta @glum Hi
    Posted 15 months ago by miskey Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Eggy - Yeah, 50%... that's because of intermarrying in the intervening centuries, maybe. There were perhaps miners in the mix as land began to appear.

  • what is all the brouhaha about semi-colons?  I mean honestly they are really dumb. 
    First of all, they are called SEMI colons...which is completely incorrect.  They are neither semi or colons.  I mean semi means half so half of a colon should be
    Instead we have a semi colon comma.
    B.  If you refer to COLON, thats a part of your digestive system, so are we talking about half your digestive system? no, I think not.
    3. Ampersands are clearly the cooler punctuation to use.  How many punctuation marks have you seen on TV? Hmmm?  Ampersands are guest stars on Wheel Of Fortune quite often.
    In closing, punctuation speaks loudly!

  • Why you haters gotta hate on my semicolons? Just for that; in fact:

    "I love you (period)
    You love me (question mark)
    Please, please (exclamation point)
    I wanna hold you (in parentheses)"

    OH! Burn! I am the most meta; ever; oh yeah. I'll take a wheel of cheese now; thank you!!!

  • @RM  Bwahahahaha!  Sorry, I couldn't help but reply after peeking in to see how the punctuation wars were going.  But...  I have to ask this:  what's happened to the poor dejected em-dash?!  It's been completely neglected!  And the interrobang?!  How come no one's mentioned it?!  It's my most favourite punctuation evah!  How can ya not loves it?!  

    Equality for all punctuation!  Down with domination of the semi-colon!

  • Oh and the much degraded and besmirched ellipse...What is so wrong with dots in a row..really really...And as a Cheesehead, I am seriously offended by all the above negative comments about cheese.  I retain the right to continue to be offended as long as this bizarre topic continues.  Please, who  left the cake out in the rain..now THAT is the question!!!!!!!

  • This is a random, non-sequitur trolling post--a misogynistic and/or homophobic and/or ethnically offensive rant that has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand. Despite the fact that EVERYONE knows you're not supposed to feed the trolls, some of you will. Thereby giving me the attention I crave in order to dull the pain of the following facts: I live in my mother's basement; I'm a virgin over the age of 30; I have permanent Cheetos stains over 48% of my body.

    Oh, and...Galactica ROOLZ!

  • Long Live Cheetos...not the phony baked kind but ..yes... yes... yes..( I heart the ellipse) ..the kind that leave your fingers orange and even paint thinner will not remove the stain under your finger and toenails!!!!!!!

    And my ellipse can kick the ass of your honor student...so there!!!!!

  • I just wanted to have it on record that I am pro cheese, punctuation, mining, majoring, cinnamon and random nudity.  I am definitely on the fence about goat turd minors and what the correct spoon size for KP is.  If KP could be a little more forthcoming about what size of spoon is currently in their possession then perhaps I could make a decision about that one way or the other.  I believe that the vast majority of us have at least one seaman in their family tree, but if this isn't the case for any particular individual I would not hold it against them in any way.  So in closing I'd like to say Glitch, and let Glitch, that is the answer : )@glum:  hi
