Jerkstore XIV: Hallelujah, it's Raining Ghosts

I was reading between the lines.

Can you blame me?

You have a whole thread series dedicated to back-talking, and you're always prattling on about things people say, so I just assume you're being antagonistic in almost every critical response you make. I wish that wasn't the case; I really do.

I do apologize if I misinterpreted anything, but I, much like you, don't like bottling up the issues that I see.

I was absolutely in no way trying to be antagonistic in my response on CP, which is why I posted this here (also because I love bitching about how slow CP is to load). I was honestly really surprised that you responded the way you did, and wanted to see if anyone could tell me what I did wrong.

It's fine if you absolutely hate the Yo Ghost jokes, all I wanted to point out was that this wasn't newbie bashing. I honestly find Fyroa and his game funny, and I wrote an April Fool's tribute to the dude. If anything, it's a show of acceptance.

This is the point where I would normally say "I was drunk" except I'm not.

Instead I'm just going to drop this and get back to actual relevant things. I have to make sure Duck's reloading mechanic is perfect before release time.

I do find the Duck screenshots really funny, also.

Burn Castle Paradox down and start over

In self-defense, I've been intentionally misreading the word "Orphanage" as "ORLYphage" ... which by total coincidence is a marvelous word for describing viral internet phenomena.

Fenrir-Lunaris · **Posted:** Mon Apr 19, 2010 10:45 pm

I've just learned we won't be seeing any of that silliness on Slime Salad. Now begins the laborious process of doing the same with Castle Paradox. :boss:

Coincidentally, 8-bit used the word in the "introduce yourself" thread.

This gem just showed up in my inbox:

Quote:

A heads up:
My French is a little shaky, but I suspect your avatar should read
"Ceci n'est pas un avatar."

"ne" is always eventually followed by "pas" which together form a negation.
I looked up "avatar" and it's apparently masculine (hence, you need a masculine indefinite article "un" instead of feminine "une").
I don't think Leci is a word - you want Ceci (= "This").

... euh ...

I just realized something ... the statement "Ceci n'est pas un avatar" is also false, which is contrary to the point Magritte was trying to make in the first place. Magritte was pointing out the (somewhat obvious) distinction between an object and its representation ... but an avatar *is* a representation.
So, if you wish to keep with the spirit of Magritte's painting, you should either write "C'est un avatar", or, because the avatar is a picture of a slime, maybe say "Ceci n'est pas une boue" (boue = slime).

Man. That message was far longer than I had anticipated.

This guy put a lot of thought into my avatar.

If that's not asperger's I don't know what is.

It was no coincidence, my friend. I'm subversive as a mutha-fug. :hypno:

I PMed Inferior Minion to word filter "orphanage" in order to make Raven's posts less embarrassing and he agreed, I'm very pleased.

But then I looked and saw that Raven's just editing his posts to get around the filter. This guy's bonkers.

Also, this whole thread: http://www.castleparadox.com/ohr/viewto ... highlight=

JSH's first response is the best answer it could get.

I don't think anything will get through to this guy though:

PS. It's mean to replace words just because you don't like them ¬_¬ moderators...

I think he fails to realize that moderators (specifically IM) OWN the forum he is posting on, which pretty much means they can do whatever the hell they want and he just has to deal with it.
But don't mind me, I'm just being "mean."

My name is Eggie.

I can't believe this cat is back, and I don't think I ever knew she was a she! I'm posting this here out of sheer surprise, not because I have any reason to really make fun of this at this point. Can this really be the Eggie from back in the day?

Oh well, I guess to make this jerkstore worthy:

Quote:

I pretty confident in my writing abilities.

EDIT: came back to check this almost certain I had called her a he by accident, but instead found I had BBcode off and a small grammar mistake

Wobble of Moogles · **Posted:** Thu Apr 29, 2010 1:02 pm

Where are you getting that Eggie is female?

Spoonful of Ham · **Posted:** Thu Apr 29, 2010 3:13 pm

My guess is that msw188's comment stems from the ending of Eggie's comment;

Quote:

Hi, Lindsay.

However, I believe this is merely a "shout out" to someone eggie knows, and not the signature that msw may believe it is. First, that's just not how signatures are written ( it would say something other then "hi", like sincerely, or thanks for reading.) Second, this is totally the same eggie, and eggie's totally a dude. I've asked.

I mean, what are the chances of another person joining our community and calling themselves eggie?
Also, eggie has been active this whole time, msw, he's just one of those shady IRc people like gizmog, so you probably don't see him very often.

Well somebody on that page has got to be Lindsay. :Qapla'!:

I'm up for a lindsay hunt!

My suspects are

Machu: EDIT: His name has been cleared.

Puzzle: According to it's post, this person is for sure a female. It's pen name leads us away from the Lindsay name, but it could be a FAKE pen name, after all.

Not a member of Slime Salad: It's very possible that Lindsay is someone that knows eggie "IRL". In this case, "Hi, Lindsay" would be a shout out to someone that may or may not visit slimesalad frequently but not have an account.

PB and JSH · **Posted:** Thu Apr 29, 2010 4:10 pm

It's definitely not Machu. I worked with him on a game once.

Fenrir-Lunaris · **Posted:** Thu Apr 29, 2010 4:59 pm

Seems like my Slimesalad registration drive is actually working?

It's the actual Eggie, yes. I convinced him to join up because he actually has made games before. I'll reserve judgment on their quality, but hey, we've all made crap before. That and he actually *has* improved somewhat. :clap:

Yeah, I put the "Hi, Lindsay" bit together with:

Quote:

When it comes to criticism, I usually just follow my guy, which isn't the best method, but an effective one.

figuring that "my guy" meant a boyfriend.

And yeah, I know nothing about IRC (I'm not even entirely certain what it is - is it essentially like google chat on gmail?)
