JMich: If you assume you are better than someone else due to objective reasons (I'm a better weight lifter because I can lift more weights), then that is fine. If you assume you are better than someone else due to subjective reasons, aka personal preference (I'm a better weight lifter because I prefer blondes), then I do shake my head and walk on.
Oh ok, well it is like rectangles and squares. All my reasons are naturally rectangles, but some of those can objectively be called squares, too.

JMich: Yeap. Always willing to give more. Here, have some more rope.
Rope? You want me to kill myself? That's a pretty rude thing to say even for you, isn't it.

Is that the only thing one can do with rope? What about nets, knots, traps, hammocks? How about tying things, towing things, securing things? Not to mention that if you are willing to combine rope with oil, you can make a lamp. Add a rock (or three) and you have a bolas. You can even weave chairs with rope.

But no, you assume I'm giving it to you to cause you harm. Why would I want to harm a gamer?

I didn't assume, I googled the expression.

Btw...are you sure you were mocked for playing videogames and not for just being Jmich? Because even back then there was no kid in existance who did not want to play videogames. And before that they would not have heard of it or know what the word means.

Why'd I click on this thread? Feel like I need to get a stick and scrape the crap off my shoe.

So I just click on this thread out of boredom, hoping for some silly forum drama, and instead I learn an idiom of the English language that I didn't know before. Thanks guys! ;)

Jocks vs Geeks mentality. Discussing possible strategies for Master of Magic was mocked, discussing what tactics a sports team should use (even if you have no idea about tactics) was seen as a good thing. To say nothing of explaining the structure of the saved games and what you could modify to gain an advantage.

If you were truly lucky enough to not have had that experience, I am happy for you, and I do wish you never have it.
Every time I come back to GOG, I'm reminded why forums, without exception, need an ignore user function.

Yes in my school the jocks played civilization and master of magic,too,while the geeks learned for school.That's why they were geeks.

Clearly, you've never been to the Steam forums or the thousands of other forums out there that make GOG general discussion, look like a happy place.

Reever: I think I've never seen so many downrated posts in one thread o.0

You guys should game more and discuss less :D

Downrep trolls like to feed...off reactions...and in their eyes, you are an all you can eat buffet. Just ignore them and they will find another victim.

No need to be snippy. That is my job. But since I am not sure you got it, obviously I was trying to imply that he wants me to kill myself only to make him look bad. It is the art of forumwar.

Apparantly the rope JMich figuratively handed to you was more effective, because to me it seems the "joke"'s on you now. But carry on, soldier! :P
How so, soldier? I just explained to you how it is on you now.
