Of Trolls And Trolling
At the thread's kick off Jonesing4FO3 had all the bounce, the piss and vinegar, the hyperactive reverse spin, of an Oblivion 'fan' dancer.
Provocative.
Behind the waving 'fan' , the titillation of ...
naked provocation.
When confronted with expletives and invectives, Jonesing4FO3 dropped the bare ass troll schtick and turned adult and fatherly, claiming the moral high ground.
FATHER Jonesing4FO3 started trolling for fishes, fishing for converts.
A Moses in the Wasteland, promising a path to a promised land, if only the 'saved' will embrace this covenant of clean speaking and good sportsmanship.
FATHER Jonesing4FO3 tried to recruit agreement by acknowledging the lack of over all quality of too many titles shoveled out to compost in the game entertainment market place.
FATHER Jonesing4FO3 praised the gospel of good manners and the healing 'powah' of positive thinking. A better, kewl-er, BethSoft [BS] FO3 would spontaneously generate on our hard drives, if the swords and keyboards of criticism were beaten into embracing the market shares of First Person Action Shooters.
FPS's that are boxed as RPG's.
FPS's that will bait the consumer with role playing paper doll fetishism, and the 'mutated sewer midgets' that will satisfy the Nex Gen's daily entertainment requirement for fantasy familiars, elves.
...............
mutated sewer midgets
Redeye earns BS points, good for a free set of BS FO3 POWAH AHMOUR! If Redeye never dis-es a BS dev or fan-waving BS debutant.
box wins BS negotiable street cred. Justifying 'gritty' content
by directly associating the potentially lewd with Teen Rated digestible fantasy icons like goblins, looks like a 'win-win' for the BS team.

If the intent of this adult role model was so high minded and constructive, why the troll act at the thread's beginning?
Why not show those positive BS community values? Offer a BS dev friendly thread on polite, Nex Gen Politically Correct,
re-skinning of Oblivion in FO clothes.
Correct me if this offer is taken. It might prove there was more substance than style in this visitation.
Consider an ideological hook to hang the carrot or stick offered by the FATHER.
Not only was the angst attitude of DAC pitched into the dustbin of gaming history, but the association of the FO name with traditional RPG game play was slammed as obstructing the victorious march to game platform collectivism.
One game type.
One game platform.
One World monopoly of the marketplace.
Love Big Brother.
Love BS.
FATHER Jonesing4FO3 preaches for the entertainment utopia that is to come.
Oh,
and FATHER Jonesing4FO3 swung the ""why don't you create your own game"" ball bat.
A rhetorical variant on ""if you are so smart, why aren't you rich ..""
that spit in the face that passes for a - get your attention - reality check when the morally superior go blitzing for submission.
Thanks Koki for rebuffing that kinder, gentler brow beating.
It is not proven that FATHER Jonesing4FO3 was trolling for converts. Took his bat, and his bawls, and left.
It may be FATHER Jonesing4FO3 had a preconceived profile of DAC and an agenda to prove that world view.
FATHER Jonesing4FO3 was larping at proselytizing, but not for a 'better' BS FO3.
FATHER Jonesing4FO3 gave mass, to prove he is always right, and [your forum persona tag here] is always wrong.
FATHER forgive us .....
What does 4too plan to do for this Brave New World, this collectivist land of hope and glory?
I'll wait.
If the game players here at DAC, at NMA and at RPG C can save me from Oblivion, perhaps these --GASP-- fan forums will provide a truthful player review of any other BS product. Player reviews that are not dipped in the double speak of this ideological conflict.
The extortionist argument about BS can't create better games if we don't buy BS games will not find advocates here or in the greater game entertainment marketplace.
If BS pretends to make games, perhaps the consumer can 'pretend' to buy them.
What if, ... larp me this...
A game ... could be in the box!
Not the 'game' of bait and switch, not the prestidigitation's of modern progressive market-eers.
That BS has bottled something I want.
That BS can hold this something hostage.
That BS demands payment with out proof.
This is a sad pretense.
Proof of the propaganda war between corporate market-eers and the game entertainment consumer.
