4th and Long

[RavenStormclaw]

Well sports fans thanks for tuning into the big game. Its been a tough one for Turbine development team. They've taken some rough shots.

They had the ball and were marching down the field seemingly to an easy win when out of nowhere, for a vast and mysterious reason, they stalled out. Its now 4th and long with only 2 seconds left on the clock they've got to go big if they want to win. Let's get the play by play.

Kate takes the snap from her rock solid center Flimsy and drops back into the pocket. Her wideouts Tolero and Tarrant are streaking down the field trying to get open.

Uh oh the pocket is collapsing and Kate is starting to scramble. Looks like she's gonna get sacked.... no wait Keeper throws a block from no where allowing Kate to break free. She spins to the left and ducks a flying tackle looks down field to find her two shining stars.

Looks like she's got an opening and heaves the ball to the back of the end zone. Both Tolero and Tarrant are there they leap for the ball among a mass of defenders and.......

You'll have to wait on Mod 9 for the outcome:D

[skyking613]

And................The ref throws a flag.

Holding.... number 29

5 yard penalty repeat 4th down.

[MrWizard]

This team needs heart. Heart.

Its a good thing that the Dev's dont play for the Lions-or we would already know the outcome of Mod. 9! :p

[Pallol_One-Eye]

And................The ref throws a flag.

Holding.... number 29

5 yard penalty repeat 4th down.

Fernando always Holding when it is important, LMAO :confused::rolleyes::p;):D

[LargeMarge]

Nice! :D

I dropped Kate from my fantasy "fantasy" football team a long time ago...I hope that she makes me regret it later.

Maybe I can pick her up from the free agency list later :D

come on now......they live in Mass we all now how they do it down there. The kicker wins the games for em but the QB gets all the money and fame. Oh and thier coach likes to film hand signals.

Is this thread yet another attempt to paint an unrealistically gloomy picture of the state of DDO, because it's not up to snuff according to a small, forum-dwelling cadre of content-burning (wannabe and otherwise) power-gamers?

Bran man I usually side with you but to answer your question: NO! It is a fun play off of the whole tailgate party thing! You know you tailgate for, mostly, football games. I was having some fun and nothing more. You read to much into it. Take it at face value.

Nice..... cutting edge sarcasm by Bandy check

Now my day is complete :D

Btw gotta any beers for the end of this game?

If a spoon can be said to have a cutting edge, sure.

No but it can have a point..... ever heard of a spork?

[Pallol_One-Eye]

Bandy has the training to kill you using just his thumb. That being the case, a spon would be like a weapon of mass destruction.

Please "insert witty retort here at will".

[branmakmuffin]

No but it can have a point..... ever heard of a spork?
A spork is not a spoon. :p


Bandy has the training to kill you using just his thumb.
"Thumb" being slang for "gang of elite assassins."


That being the case, a spon would be like a weapon of mass destruction.
A spon is not a spoon, either.


Please "insert witty retort here at will".
All my retorts are witty (especially this one).

what world do you live in. the "small" dwelling is not as small as you think, time will tell.
now back to the game

[branmakmuffin]

what world do you live in. the "small" dwelling is not as small as you think, time will tell.
It's small. Loud, but small. Like a rat with an atomic-powered megaphone.

[branmakmuffin]

Naw doll.

Oh, that's weak. :eek: So weak the term "self-pwn" springs to mind.

[bandyman1]

Oh, that's weak. :eek: So weak the term "self-pwn" springs to mind.

The only one selfpwning here Bran, would be you.

BTW; Did you get the porn, tissues, and lotion out of sight before Mommy came down to the basement on Mother's Day weekend?

[branmakmuffin]

The only one selfpwning here Bran, would be you.
Sadly for you, this is even weaker. You either need to sober up or get drunker.



BTW; Did you get the porn, tissues, and lotion out of sight before Mommy came down to the basement on Mother's Day weekend?

A " I bang your mom " joke??? And you're talking to me about being weak???

Seriously?


Just give up Bran. Go pester Shae to log on; You need the help.

[MondoGrunday]

It's small. Loud, but small. Like a rat with an atomic-powered megaphone.

prove to me or anyone else that the group of people upset with the current status of the game is "small". I can show you dozens of threads of people leaving or at least threatening to leave. Or perhaps a look around any server and compare it to the populations we once had. You have no merit to your claim, as usual. The only thing small is the number of people left. I predict this game doesn't make it past christmas, however I wish it would, but imho the game is lost.

[toughguyjoe]

Wow. So i read this thread. I thought i was going to have to make a long Bran-bashing post, but i see Bandy is as always quicker on the gun than i am. Carry on sirs, this has the potential to become a page turner.

[branmakmuffin]

prove to me or anyone else that the group of people upset with the current status of the game is "small".
Prove to me it's significant.


I can show you dozens of threads of people leaving or at least threatening to leave.
At least you're honest enough to note that "threaten to leave" does not equal "actually left and did not return within a relatively short period of time."


Or perhaps a look around any server and compare it to the populations we once had.
You've got that information handy, do you? Well, then, let's see it.

[branmakmuffin]

A " I bang your mom " joke???
She doesn't like that kind of language, young man.

[MondoGrunday]

you sir are dillusional if you think the current state of the game is in good condition, or you have never played anything other than this game.
like i said earlier, prove to me its small, you made the claim first "young man"
at least I provided avenues of proof, you have done nothing of the sort.
i'm starting to see you only post for attention since nothing you have ever typed has integrity. when you mature, these posts will make more sense.

[ShaeNightbird]

Wow. So i read this thread. I thought i was going to have to make a long Bran-bashing post, but i see Bandy is as always quicker on the gun than i am. Carry on sirs, this has the potential to become a page turner.
Yes, he is quicker on the gun than you are. Too bad neither one of you has any ammunition.

[branmakmuffin]

you sir are dillusional if you think the current state of the game is in good condition
The only things I see are the endless "The game is doomed!" posts on the forums, coupled with anecdotes of "My guild is empty and my friends never log on!" My anecdotes tell me otherwise. Cue the Deliverance banjo music for Dueling Anecdotes.


like i said earlier, prove to me its small, you made the claim first "young man"
at least I provided avenues of proof, you have done nothing of the sort.
Is this some new kind of empirical data, "avenues of proof?" How do we know they're not boulevards of BS?

You, along with many others, are making the broader claim that the game is up chocolate creek without a popsicle stick. As stated, your only "proof" is these "avenues" you tout.


when you mature, these posts will make more sense.
When your posts start making sense, they will make more sense.

[Kistilan]

Ho-hum. I had to edit myself. I had a far-wittier reply that would have made your first cousins blush, but I withdrew. Stay classy and stay a patriot. ;)

Lewd, but relatively subtle. No trolling involved, since the comments are not directed at you with the intent of provoking a response other than perhaps eye-rolling at the somewhat middle-school humor involved.

There's no oneupmanship of any kind. Just silly jokes.

[toughguyjoe]

Yes, he is quicker on the gun than you are. Too bad neither one of you has any ammunition.

Awww. Its true. Bandy and I are no match for You and Bran. Whatever will we do? Probably play more DDO, while You and Bran sit in the Leaky Dinghy and he tries to give you his Dirty Kobold.

Remember, there are silver flame acolytes everywhere, and they offer remove disease at a nominal fee ;)

Sorry to just jump in here...but the forum crowd is a small percentage of the player base. Most of us are busy playing....you may continue bashing each other...

Yes, I've tried that. But the problem is, you're chronic. :rolleyes:

[RavenStormclaw]

How does a silly little post referring to the end of our wait for Mod 9 as the end of a football game end up so off track? Sheesh.... thank the lord I created this for my entertainment. I am entertained.

thank you all :D

if one were to take a census on the forum population regarding the state of the game and a "small" number of forum posters claim the game is in a sorry state , one could postulate that there is an even greater number with the same sentiment ingame.
my point against bran is that his claim the game is doing fine and more and more people aren't leaving is absurd. there are more and more posts of people leaving due to inadequate development from turbine.
I find there is more evidence, to support my claim than he has to support his own. But he is refusing or unable to provide evidence of his own.
Even his own post supports my claim that "more people are posting their guild is empty etc..)

[Hellllboy]

I think we can stamp this post-"officially" derailed ;)

[branmakmuffin]

if one were to take a census on the forum population regarding the state of the game and a "small" number of forum posters claim the game is in a sorry state , one could postulate that there is an even greater number with the same sentiment ingame.
The more likely postulation is that the forums attract players with a tendency to complain about the game, since this is the best place to do that, whereas the players who stay in the game are happy with the game.


my point against bran is that his claim the game is doing fine and more and more people aren't leaving is absurd. there are more and more posts of people leaving due to inadequate development from turbine.
You keep going back to forum posts as proof the game is in decline. It might be, but the posts you refer to don't prove that. All they prove is that there are more people complaining on the forums. You yourself even acknowledged the possibility that the "quitters" might just be "threateners." As I wrote before, you have the burden of proof regarding your assertion that the game is on its last legs (or however you wish to word it). You are the proponent of that position. Telling me to prove otherwise proves nothing, other than you have no evidence.


I find there is more evidence, to support my claim than he has to support his own. But he is refusing or unable to provide evidence of his own.
As noted (several times), your "evidence" is anecdotal and weak. Of course, given that Turbine does not provide subscriber data, that's the only kind you'll get.


Even his own post supports my claim that "more people are posting their guild is empty etc..)
Now you are really going out on a limb, either intentionally or unintentionally mischaracterizing what I wrote. I wrote that people were posting that their friends lists are "red" and their guilds are empty, not that people's friends lists are "red" and their guilds are empty.

[toughguyjoe]

you have the burden of proof regarding your assertion that the game is on its last legs (or however you wish to word it). You are the proponent of that position.

Right. But....look at this next part.




As noted (several times), your "evidence" is anecdotal and weak. Of course, given that Turbine does not provide subscriber data, that's the only kind you'll get.


So Bran, since you say that the game is in fact Not in decline and Turbine does not provide subscriber data, no one, including yourself really knows the state of the games player base correct?

Yet you seem to be rather vocal about what people think about the player base. Could it be surmised that you just enjoy coming on the forums and expressing your oppinions? Like the whiners about the game? the people that you hate? I mean, if the forum population is oh so small, you yourself are most certainly a part of it. Is that because the game is becoming less fun for even the mighty Harbormaster Bran? Well, master might be giving you a bit much. Invaders is probably not your cup of tea :P

[toughguyjoe]

As long as it's made from real dirty kobolds, not bathtub gin. :eek:



Yes, I've tried that. But the problem is, you're chronic. :rolleyes:

Yes, I am Chronic. Sticky-icky-icky. I have to smoke alot of it just to be able to read you and Brans posts.

You know whats nice about this banter Shae? You haven't really supported Brans position that i've seen on this one. So tell us oh, dark mistress of bran, or whatever the hell you pretend to be. Do YOU think the game is in decline? Do you come out of your hole and actually play this **** game? Do you have a character that is over level twelve so you can actually see what lies in the halls of endgame play?

This really isn't a personal attack, i'd just like to see if you have more game experience than Bran. It shouldn't take much.



BTW: This thread isn't derailed, one of the coaches challenged that holding call. This is just the ref's arguing :D

Watch you Accelerando might come in here and stomp on you Bran. I dunno though Ghallanda is a fair ways from General Discussion.

Sounds to me like you just don't want the General population to know that instead of "Dark mistress of storms" you're really "dark mistress of kobold assault"

[branmakmuffin]

Or "The Tick"... :D
I know who The Tick is (I even a few issues of the comic), but "spoon" and "Tick" connections are lost to me.


Sounds to me like you just don't want the General population to know that instead of "Dark mistress of storms" you're really "dark mistress of kobold assault"
Are you suggesting she follow in your footsteps and run Info is Key on Elite to "0 XP?"

Epic fail Bran.

Well of course, the Dark Mistress of Scrags Sewer probably has far too much on her mind to let the plebians come into her haughty view.

Keep on keepin' on Shae. You entertain me to no end. At first i thought, "You know, maybe Shae actually has run a raid other than tempest spine, and has experienced some of the things that get complained about" Too bad you haven't. your oppinions might carry more weight if you had.

And that's "Dark mistress of Kobold assault", to you. Get it right.

Thems some mighty big words. Your thesaurus seems to see good use hmm? Its wonderful how you and your little pocket pal Bran can bash on people who say this game is in dire straights, yet know nothing of the end game. You don't know what guild had X members and is now down to Y members. Your ignorance of the situations in which you comment on drive me to come in here and act a fool.

Best part is, I'm enjoying myself. I play end game DDO. I have a good time with it. The population of the sever that i play on is Declining. Refute that claim. I know you want to.




And that's "Dark mistress of Kobold assault", to you. Get it right.

Well, i figured Scrags Sewer might be a step up, you might be able to open scrags on elite.

[branmakmuffin]

It hasn't done any good for yours.


The population of the sever that i play on is Declining.
And this is surprising because ...?

[ShaeNightbird]

Your ignorance of the situations in which you comment on drive me to come in here and act a fool.

Oh, I think you have no problem acting the fool with or without any assistance from me, or anybody else.

It's obvious that you really don't know much. I'm glad you're having fun. So am I. Besides, I don't care if you think the population of the server you play on is declining or not. Whether it is or isn't makes no difference to me in the slightest.





Well, i figured Scrags Sewer might be a step up, you might be able to open scrags on elite.

My life is incomplete, until I open Scrag's Sewer on elite. Because schmo tells me so, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, you're very inspirational.

Only commnet I have here is my guild on Argo has gotten much bigger of late. Take that for what it is!

Hey I love scrags sewer its my favorite quest in the game all my toons run it to zero xp;)










Ok I'm kidding about that......think I ran the quest once in two years!

---warning serious moment here-----

I think if we survive mod 9 we may be over the worse. As far as I can tell mod 9 finishes off most of the technical aspects of perfecting this game. After this it should be content and race/classes!..... assuming we survive mod 9 of course.

---- ok return to the bufoonery----

[bandyman1]

But does your guild actually DO endgame content Raven?


Because it seems to me, that you are awfully interested on who is, and who is not, posting LFMs for endgame content for that to be the case.


I'm not being snarky here bro; I'm seriously asking.

A lot of the less endgame oriented guilds are seeing a boost in pop at the moment, because the endgame oriented players are banding together in the face of the populations of their guild lists being decimated. As those guilds lose leadership, they splinter and die, putting their newer players back out into the general population.


At least; That's what I've seen happening on Argo. And you play there too.


Also note the lack of LFMs on Argo tonight. This is a holiday weekend. That's a bad sign bro.

Just thought I'd give you a powergamers view of the situation.

[toughguyjoe]

Are you suggesting she follow in your footsteps and run Info is Key on Elite to "0 XP?"

After my second toon My characters spent as little time in the Harbor as possible. Korthos normal, Harbor normal, and into the market to the XP train. I know thats not something you like to do, but why should I care how you play Bran? you don't care how anyone else plays..yet..you comment on it..alot more than I comment on your play style..hmm...

Yes its true, I am ignorant of whats going on in this game. Especially on the server i play on. Oh woe is us who Shae doesn't care about. Shae its obvious the only person you care about at all is your litlte McMuffinLad, so please. get a room. Far away. With window shades. Or no windows preferrably.



Something about your guild, which you forgot to name.


Yes Ravenstormclaw, your guild is gaining numbers. Thats wonderful. I really do mean that. However i am talking about the people who have played this game at cap for a LONG time. While bran and shae snub their noses at such players, calling them whatever it is they want to call them, these players shape their servers. On argo there are alot of elder players that are very willing to teach the raids to new up and coming players. Its a HUGE part of the games growth. Theres nothing worse than players getting raid ready and having a 10% completion rate. The more Veterans leave the game, the more this is going to be the case.


Well that was fun, but i'm sure all of this will be gone when i awake and look at it. Too bad. I had fun playing with Shae and her little Muffinlad. I'm sure they'll rear their snarky heads into other threads they're not wanted in. Until then, adieu.

I'm surprised that it bugs you so much that I don't care a fig about you, especially seeing as how you've gone out of your way to ensure that by attempting to antagonise me. Adieu? Really? One can only hope.

Yeah my guild does run end game content and a lot. My guild leader is one of the posters who wrote the book on warforged builds. My real problem is that due to my and my wifes work schedule I play mostly during the day... when not a lot is happening these days. So I actually can see yours and toughs points. As I said earlier my only hope is that we can survive mod 9 and that mod 10 will be so content filled we won't know what to do.

While you and I Bandy have had difference of opinions I beileve, at the end of the day, we both want the same thing.... that is for this game to florish!

Screenshot or it didn't happen. Or rather didn't not happen. Or whatever. You get the idea.
