    Yeah. Slapping people is my job. It's annoying when you piss people off enough that they can't wait long enough for me to log on.

    I really don't understand.

    Are you annoyed that I was writing informally? If yes, then you seriously need help.

    I believe they are annoyed because you posted a smiley and a qoute, and nothing more.

    If you can't post more than that, then you are the one that need help.

    It's the smiley, as wobbler said. We tend to actually put words in our posts, anything less than that is not smiled upon. There's plenty of time to proof-read a post before pressing the submit button, so...well I think you get the gist of it.

    There's basically an unspoken rule here that runs something like this:

    'If you have nothing to add to a conversation but a single word (or even worse, a smiley), don't post it. EVER.'

    Well, okay. Maybe.

    It’s the Hard, Fast, Continuous Punching that has me concerned.
    You know, that actual attempt to wedge parts of me inside my pelvis.

    Ok, sorry, I guess. I just didn't think her post deserved a serious response.

    To answer the question initially asked. I'm pretty sure I saw Arcanum available for download on Newegg a year or two back, however I can't find it any more...

    Awwwwww... I hate it when they run. I'm too tired to give chase and I've lost my summoning licence after an 'incident' involving a dickhead and my motorbike...

    You're really delusional if you thought this post sounded clever, intimidating, or whatever else it is you were going for.

    The fact of the matter is, I'll post here whenever I damn well please, and a muppet such as yourself isn't going to stop/discourage me.

    The simple fact of the matter is that as long as you don't give a damn about proper language, you're unwelcome here.

    Posting here isn't absolutely free. Nothing in life is. In return for being an active member here, we demand you put in that bit of extra effort every time you post, and make sure whatever nonsense you share with us is up to our posting standards. Here's a list of posts setting the lowest standard currently standing on our forum. Here's an example of posts below any standard.

    If requiring proper spelling and sentence structure is a limitation too prohibiting for your tastes, there are places such as the meatspin forums, where no limitations apply.

    I find it ironic how much grammatically better that post is than the one which lead to Caity's remarks. Which leads me to believe that you have indeed taken notice of her message.

    That said, calling Caity a delusional muppet, probably isn't the best way of fitting in here...

    You do realize that taking unjustified pot-shots at an establish (and in this case, Well Liked!) T-A regular isn’t the best way to garner respect. You’re here for help and/or to socialize with people with like interests, namely Arcanum or other Troika games. If you get folks to place you into the dickweed category, you will not receive help and you will not receive positive socialization.

    I'm not sure why you visit forums, but I do it to discuss things, not to 'garner respect.' I guess it balances out, though, since I only have genuine respect for about 4-5 of the regulars who post here.

    And if someone is going to take a 'pot-shot' at me, then it's only fair if I return the favour, right?

    edit:

    and btw, i didn't care about the initial remark, but this

    i had to answer. just because of the sheer arrogance.

    You shouldn't wait so long to respond, and when you qoute, please use the qoute function so the name comes along.

    I had to go back and look who wrote that:/

    And remember, there is nothing fair in life.

    Has it occurred to you, that, that remark may not have been directed at you, at all?
    Correct me if I'm wrong Caity, but I was under the impression that your post was directed at the original topic starter. Seeing as I in the preceding post, kind of answered the original question.
