Expect away!
Quite a few anti-PALGN sentiments flying around gamerdungeon. Not sure why this is even a thing. I could just ban Furianshi for attacking members for nothing, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and see if maybe we can all have some fun out of this.
Edit: Aww.

I dont go to gamerdungeon so I wouldnt know, but at the end of the day do you really care what they say on there?
But hey from what ive seen around here Benza does seem to like pushing peoples buttons, instead of having "fun with it" how bout to be fair put them both in the time out corner as lets be honest I had no idea this was going on till Benza made the post so I guess your could say he restoked the fire......

As someone who's actually banned Benza from a forum, I can tell you that he really doesn't.
He's cool and all, right up until he decides to ignore all the warnings he's received over a several month period and then wonder why he got banned.

Hell no I don't care what they say on there. Benza has a different way of discussing things but he doesn't actually go against any rules here. If you don't like his personality then that's another thing, doesn't mean I should side with Furianshi. He's the one breaking rules by attacking other members.

Thanks for your input, Norm. Always appreciated.

I had a nice well thought out response but this site decided to go stupid on me, the sooner this new project Vervain and Denny are talking about gets up and running the better as I dont want to be providing traffic to this douche Roland anymore.

Just found out about the existence of an RTS based inn the Star Wars universe that is really similar to AoE; Star Wars: Galactic Battlgrounds.
WHY DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS BEFORE?

SOOOON!
Also people take arguing too seriously on the internet. I've never seen Benza as a troll personally; more just someone with a strong opinion on things combined with tourettes.

Nice to know that even a month after the arguments over he still thinks of me  |
Along with the server this site runs on, you are the stinking rotting core of this place and the reason for my departure from a forum I have otherwise enjoyed for the past few years. Naturally then, yeah there is that element of bitterness. |
You left an entire community because you had disagreements with one person? 
Good luck with the rest of the internet.

Let me tell you a story.
A good few years back, I obtained a moderator position at a now defunct Australian gaming forum. Sadly, due to my inept social ability and a poor call of judgement, I spent more of my time pushing a lawless vigilante attitude against flaming and trolls (though the latter wasn't called such a thing at the time) rather than acting as an embodiment of the forums rules and guidlines. My contribution of influence to the forums was more of an egocentric attitude than coercing the forum members to contribute.
This was unintentional, as I had only the best wishes for the community and positive influence in mind, but I ultimately failed at my job because I let the power get to my head. So I walked away and let someone more worthwhile take the reins.
Promoting such an attitude for one of the hosts of a forum is only going to result in a toxic and bitter community brimming with contempt rather than content. If you actually think promoting your slice of some sort of warped paradise in such a manner is going to go down well, prepare your fellows to feel their arses hit the ground hard; sooner or later. Take that from experience.
To be fair, I don't love Benza or his posts. It's quite clear he enjoys stirring you because he actually mistook myself for you once and brandished an attack on me before I even realized it had happened. You know what? It really didn't bother me. At the end of the day, while I may not agree with Benza's style and his personality, I accept that he has a unique contribution here and he is entitled to be himself; to encompass his own way of life. As long as he doesn't break the rules, nobody has any right to tell him or anyone else how to be.
Part of enjoying a community, online or offline, is accepting that not everyone is going to think or feel the same way as you.

I was going to comment on just how hilariously stupid this whole thing is, how one obnoxious troll character is calling out another obnoxious joke character in a cross-forum 'war', but I instead would like to point out that this:
is amazing and needs to become a thing.
Also, I have that Nerf Gun, but mine is a clear white plastic with red bullets. It is sick. Someone should organise a PALGN / Former-PALGN / whatever that new SAVIOUR OF US ALL website is Nerf Gun war.

i want to know what the point of making that was. i mean, it seems like it should be an insult to Benza, but i don't see how/why...
it's like:
Creator: says something.
Benza: **** **** **** ****.
Creator: (image)
who wins that argument?

Indeed. The sight of a portly, bearded man wielding a nerf gun is considered the norm in my office.

Nobody. That's why I enjoy it so much.
Its obviously intended to be commenting on how Benza thinks his "arguments" are always the very definition of 100% correct, while calling him out on being a nerd or something (and, if I felt the image creator was clever enough to pull of such commentary, the fact its a Nerf gun could be linked to the weakness of his argument, though I don't have nearly that much faith in them). While it doesn't succeed in doing this, I reckon it could at least successfully distract the topic from arguing with Benza's impossible-to-understand-and-impossible-to-argue-against-rants-about-nothing. So it at least just barely works like that.
But even better to me is how all it does is conjures up an image of an angry, equally nerdy person furiously whipping up this image in retaliation, rubbing his hands together and masturbating to his imagined image of Benza crying into his hands after being owned so hard. That's an even funnier image to me.

You... had to rub your hands together and masturbate while imagining Benza in your English exam?

Personally I would of rather done that then do a 6 hour exam over 2 days after a year of studying for it. Also it would of been interesting to see how all the other classmates held up.

I love that game so much! I used to play it a lot, very badly, when I was in high school. I wish they'd release it on Steam.

Used to play the hell out of Galactic Battlegrounds, and it's expansion.
Level editor was cash, I'd make some awesome fictional what ifs, such as Gungans and Droids vs the Empire and Republic Troops, there were some good cheat codes too...

I just came in to thank you for the GamerDungeon pimpage though, cheers dude 
If y'all are sick of the antics of this illiterate keyboard warrior, make the move and sign up over at Gamerdungeon. Falcon has a low tolerance level when it comes to trolls and generally annoying behaviour, so it's a nice place to discuss gaming without all the ****.
Here's the registration page: http://gamerdungeon.com.au/index.php?app=core&module=globalĀ§ion=register
As for the rest of you, neg away I guess |
I don't see any real negs for your post, but a + from StorminNorman is good enough...
