Did I mention Isendre (AKA JW, Jester's Wife) would probably drink us all under the table?
It takes a tough woman to Emp for Pingus.

Good Bar.
I haven't been there in about a year or so.
And I think you mean Chimay.
Maybe you, me and Infernal Jester can have a drinking contest.
I'm only 45 mins from Philly....
But Jester is 30 mins and 3 kids from Philly.

Or dropping Wakies on you and running off before you can say "Thanks".

Not to further the argument, but the core of what I was saying was not that people shouldn't expect certain powers when they play with a certain Archetype. But, that it is wrong to label them as "Wrong" or "Broken" for not having the typical power list.

I totally understand if you get confused and a little annoyed if you team with a Emp who only takes the buffs but none of the actual healing powers or a Stalker who never uses Hide. People expect certain things when they hear a powerset shouted out. But, when someone verbally demeans them and makes them feel like a bad player for playing in a way that makes them happy, it's just...... rude. And hurtful. And I just think we shouldn't be hurtful to someone because they decided to travel the road-less-taken.

The powersets give you options for powers and slotting so you can make your Hero or Villain unique. And I applaud those who make totally unique things. And even if you don't applaud it, you should at least tolerate it.

And maybe I went a bit overboard (excuse the pun) villainizing Myrmydon in this case. And for that I am sorry. And me making the parallels to a Gay-Basher was a bit extreme. And again, I apologize.

I was trying to make a point that we shouldn't let our opinions cause hurtful drama, and I pretty much optimized the worst case scenario of what I was trying to prevent.... WHILE describing it. Talk about irony.

Wow. I'm never seen such a large pack of lies in one paragraph.
I never used the term harassment. I never logged out. (We actually re-grouped and played for another hour after getting Myr off the team. Although the rest of the night was tedious for me, I agreed to play for the team.) And we hadn't faced any AVs that night. And I do, in fact, have Myr on ignore in game. I have never spoken to nor replied to any missives from Myr since that night. The reason I don't have it set to ignore posts on the forums is just for this reason (although I do immediately trash any of Myrs private messages.) If I see an attack post, I will respond. I don't want whomever Myr is directing the intolerance at to feel like they are doing anything wrong. I will come to their defense whenever I see it.

I also had good reason for skipping 2 of the toggles, but I'm not going to start that discussion again. I refuse to be put on the defensive for something that isn't wrong to begin with.

But, this is being dragged off track by senseless e-rage.
Having Pet-Peeves is one thing, telling people that they are playing anything "wrong" when they are having fun is not a Pet-Peeve. It's Arrogant Intolerance. And I won't stand around and let you spread it without speaking up.

If you wish to continue your argumentative posts, feel free.
But, you are only continuing to prove my point.

What I have a problem with is the way you literally attack anyone who doesn't play "your way" You berated me for half-an-hour over what my build was supposed to be. 30 god-awful minutes. This was AFTER I told you I wasn't interested in your opinions. THAT ruined MY enjoyment of the game. And that is wrong. Anyone with common sense can see that.

You can go your own way, and do what you want.
But, If i see you spewing forth that judgmental B.S. and basically putting down other people for playing they way they want to play, you can be damned sure I'm going to speak up. You annoyed me to no end for one night. But your annoyance made the game less enjoyable for me for weeks after that. I don't want others to have to suffer one minute of annoyance because you are judgmental and have no idea of free rights and tolerance.

You don't want me to leave your posts alone?
All you have to do is stop attacking other people's playstyle.
And you'll never hear from me again.

People of this game, nor of the world are here to cater to the whims or opinions of you. No matter what your mother told you.
Your opinion of what a "cornerstone" power is may not be shared by others.

It is your right to say who you will and won't team with for any reason.
Likewise it is their right to build and play their toons how they like for any reason.

Just like I told the Anti-Gay Republican who was insulting my gay friend.
"If his lifestyle (or playstyle) offends you, it is not necessary for your lifestyle to exist 2 feet parallel to his. You are choosing to be that close. You can either waste your life hanging around people you don't like and berate them while they live a full life or you can go out and live one that fulfills you for yourself."

Food for thought.

Like what?
Him punching an old lady in the face?
...

Please say you need a picture of him punching an old lady in the face.

The Capitalization thing erks me to no end! IT'S A PROPER NAME PEOPLE! CAPITALIZE THE FIRST LETTER! Is it too much trouble to hit the Shift key?

The Numbers and tweaking, it's a little annoying, but doesn't grind my gears like the capitalization thing.

My last girlfriend slept with my friend.
Damned Windows UAC!
I'll get you for this Bill Gates!

And why not?


Anywho.... I am all for this. And to show my support, the other night Isacrificed an hour of sleep and go Big Bad's the Rikti War Zone Beacon and attached it to the Grandville Telepad.
