Sorry, chronic insanity disorder isn't one of the tests covered in the Warden Insurance package. I hear the Imperialists have it in theirs though, perhaps you should talk to them.

Good to know that we offer better mental health care to our people than you lot. Maybe you should have switched to socialized medicine, like we did?

We have free mental care in TGW, because we're not heathens.

Firstly, thanks for the calm answer. But it seems to me you talk about "darkspawn" but you are "darkspawn" every now and then. Primarily defender, but I'm sure I've seen you raid. So what do you say?

I think you have some nostalgia bias :p When I read threads from several years ago and beyond, intelligent and sophisticated are not words I would use. Feral is more accurate.

As someone who's been on the outside looking in for most of the last four and a half years, it feels like things have toned down quite a bit at least as far as the general attitudes on this forum. I think most of all R/Ders of this generation actually are trying to play the game and have fun instead of treating it like an RL life-or-death situation or bordering on flamebaiting as many prominent gameplayers are notorious for having done.

Escade is totally right though. There was some very sophisticated snark on here back in the day. :p

It certainly feels like things are less intense. Which is both good (less people taking this shit so seriously) and bad (less fun without all the craziness).

I vote we pull Unibot out of retirement and order him to build a UDL 2.0. :P The guy may have been a messiah-complex, but he always made things interesting.

THAT, or we need someone to coup a GCR again. :P

Is that like some weird NS "would you rather" game? Because both those options caused more than a few headaches. :p

But by and large I agree. I'm kind of glad it took me so long to actually get involved in gameplay writ large. Lurking in the shadows has its advantages during flamey times. A bit of drama is always nice though, keeps the old noggin on its toes :p

Oh I'm totally aware of that. There was also some pretty good non-flamey verbal jousting. That isn't to say I'd rather go back. I think gameplay right now is at the best point i've personally ever seen it with regard to people actually playing the damn game instead of just flaming each other.

We defend the defenseless and not only do we advocate the destroying of harmful and destructive regions, we actually destroy them when given a chance. The Order of the Grey Wardens is the epitome of TALON's mission statement and the sooner we're not viewed as a foe, the sooner we can cooperate in this effort.

I know right! Why can't those fun hating Wardens take a step back and put the concerns of the noble and kind region destroyers of the world first.

Although I suppose I'm just feeding the continued bait by quoting you.
