| #1Lord_VentnorMar 16, 2015 19:47:33 | [Generic rant about a certain type of player, with insinuation that said type of player is ruining D&D.] |
| #2ReiusMar 16, 2015 19:54:06 | If people would just play the game right, we wouldn't have these problems.
Edit: Sorry, I meant to say "you people." |
| #3BoldItalicMar 17, 2015 0:23:39 | What we see on the forums is only the tip of the iceberg. There are people out there, playing D&D all wrong and having badwrongfun and wilfully bending the rules and they're doing it in secret. All right-minded people would be shocked by this if it ever became public. I know I would. |
| #4arnwolf666Mar 17, 2015 0:38:09 | We need a return to the 1E/2E rules for firing into melee. Get rid of concentration checks. Sneak Attack should only work at melee. That's my rant. I feel better now. Oh yeah, return the clashes to the initiative system. |
| #5LokironMar 17, 2015 3:25:53 | You are all wrong, completely out of your mind. It is !(type of players) who are ruining D&D! |

EDIT: Cross-post said rant across multiple threads, constantly checking to see if anyone has replied. Repeat exactly the same argument until thread has exceeded hundreds of posts and only 3 people even post to the thread any more. |

| #35bawylieMar 18, 2015 9:57:34 | And don't even get me started on Iserith and his short-form scenarios and transcripts of actual play. It's Dungeons and Dragons not Seahorses & Scenarios! |

Argument then becomes about what sales figure represents "successful". Water turns to blood.
Argument then becomes about what source material is used for "sales" anyways. Plague of Frogs begins.
Argument then becomes about the accuracy of online review and if indicating people buying product means they thinks it is good. Lice and flies fill thread.
Argument then becomes about the value of commerce vs art. Livestock keel over dead, all posters begin to boil.
Argument then becomes about tradition vs innovation. Hail and fire rain from the sky; moderators awake from their slumber in sunken Ry'leh.
The word "Edition" is used openly. The appearance of locusts surprise no one.
The accusations of "Edition Warrior" and "Fanboy apologist" fly. The thread darkens in anticipation of...
All sides involved begin shouting about "One True Wayism". Dogs and cats now live together. The great non-euclidean shapes of the Moderators sweep through the thread and slay every first post.
