I love it when people jump to the conclusion that I don't get why something is supposed to be funny and just make an ass out of themselves with their know-it-all attitude. Granted, I may look like I fall into this category myself sometimes, I guess.
I get the appeal of badforum, no matter how improbable that may seem to some of you. I laughed with *most* of the entries (some are just not funny, imo, we're talking opinions here). And no, I actually laughed at the two more entries that are mine. I wasn't angry at all. And I understand how one may find this specific post funny... Even though I clearly said that I was just tabbing after buffing myself with DF, which is not my definition of spell caster, and the person that put this on badforum selectively picked a few parts that made it sound stupid and "funny". I'm pretty sure there's more entries that were butchered like that to sound like a mouth-breathing moron typed them. That's because they're out of context! Geez.
Everyone is repeating the same thing; OMG!!! But but but, Dragon Form is a spell by the book!!11!!!oneoneeleven!! Why is this guy saying he doesn't consider his character to be a spell caster when it is so clearly written in the rules that he's using
spells????
This is outrageous!!! Let's burn him, brothers!!! Well, my dear fellow tavern-goers, excuse me for not feeling very spell caster-y when I switch into a monster and trample my enemies to death and eat their faces off. Or when I use haste to enhance physical combat and movement speed. These are just buffs, they may be spells by the book, however I still consider my guy a fighter.
You want to know a fun fact about that DrMo? I even got the Anemomancer title for shits and giggles, because it sounded cool and so what? In the end, i'll make as much of a suboptimal build as I like... I'm just having fun, okay? I never made a freaking guide of it for new players, to ruin their being healthily introduced to your precious game.
This whole thing reminds me of something that happened around 10 years ago, when I was a teenager and some pretentious douche in a chat room asked me what sub-genre of metal I considered a specific band to be and we happened to have different definitions. He was more than 10 years older than me and he considered it cool to insult the fuck out of me in front of everyone in the chat room for my "abnormal" approach of the matter. There's some sad, sad people out there that need to make others feel bad in front of everyone to assert their dominance.
More on badforum, I'm actually sad that my entry that went somewhat like this; "I like the food reform. It makes things more realistic!" is gone. I honestly don't know what I was thinking back then. Realism in games sucks! It almost always creates tedium for the sake of tedium.
Anyway, you can keep your "strict" definition and I'll keep my definition. However, I'm glad to see that some people get what I meant. Good for you, guys. Keep your mind open. And please, everybody, let's not be dicks to each other, it's just a game. And I'm not even active lately on the forums, I didn't want to stir any drama. I just felt like doing it when I opened this topic. It can be shut down, if you think that it promotes flaming etc. I'm pretty sure someone will find some bullshit logic within my statements, it's always the case on the internet.
