Opening a Can o' Peas - An Apology to TM in General
Synergy Shaper Member # 6292	written Monday, October 24 2005 11:20 Profile #16 How cute is that? Number four and number five do make a nice couple, being virtual next-door neighbors and all. I hope you will be very happy together. P.S. I know you secretly and perversely enjoyed my Canopy review, TM, you can admit it without losing too much face. After all, I did write it with my concept of who you must be in mind. Let's put it this way...if I were the you I perceive you to be, I'd enjoy reading my review of my work. Violating Vogel was anticipated being taken as a compliment. Inquiring into the vile and violent planet from which you originate was, while tongue in cheek and indulging my penchant for alliteration, still insulting, especially when we both know darn well you are from the upper midwest of America.Got milk? I have another lil' party to attend to this evening, and if I get happily tanked enough (I'm a friendly—though infrequent—drunk), I might even come home and apologize to you all over again. :D [ Monday, October 24, 2005 12:03: Message edited by: Synergy67 ] -------------------- [Insert Signature Here] Posts: 2009 \| Registered: Monday, September 12 2005 07:00
Opening a Can o' Peas - An Apology to TM in General
Synergy Shaper Member # 6292	written Monday, October 24 2005 08:17 Profile #14 Hmm, interesting responses. It's curious that Salmon sees being willing to admit a needlessly antagonistic moment and apologizing for it as weakness. You think that's easy to do? Anyone may note that I didn't rescind my opinion of Canopy. I am modifying the degree of antipathy I choose to let it evoke. There was no need for me to be quite so insulting in how I described my displeasure with aspects of the scenario. I still think it's no less twisted. quote: Originally written by Jumpin' Salmon: Your assessment of Canopy was fair and balanced, unlike your ability to switch combat methods on the fly. As far as I could tell, the point of the scenario was to challenge typical combat. TM provided ample methods for easily taking out each boss, and you admit to not recognizing them. Try it with one fighter and one priest. Not too many combat possibilities on the fly, and when your one priest is drained of spell points almost instantly... And as I admitted, I didn’t know about the README till after I finished the scenario. I still think it blows that the custom wands have no in-game description. I could be wrong, but I imagine TM is talented enough to have provided that had he cared to offer that courtesy to his victims—er customers. quote: Now you apologize for this honest review, as if you want to be friends with TM. Why? Why? As I pointed out above, you are displaying weakness, and I look forward to the massacre. Suddenly I hear the boots of Nietzsche upon the cobblestones, and I think TM approves. If you think my apology represents capitulation, fret not. It is an honest review and I stand by its content. I apologize for some of its form. I can hold my own against anything TM has to say subsequently as needed. Somehow I doubt TM considers me his new best buddy. And as they say, with friends like that... Thralni, I was playing with a party of two for Canopy (a fighter and a priest), and maybe a lower level (though appropriate) party than you took into the scenario. It was genuinely very infuriatingly difficult to deal with the invisible bugbears and move on, and I did try everything at my disposal with my combination of PC's. With a party of four, it would have been easy enough. It was an unbalanced combat for other party types. I didn't edit my old review of Canopy because I don't believe in blotting the past, and I'm sure it's going to continue being a source of ongoing amusement. I'll wager TM enjoys arousing such ire, but that doesn't make being insulting appropriate. Notoriety is just another form of fame and some would say there's no such thing as bad press. quote: Originally written by Jerry Gerard: At first, I thought this was about the scenario. I am sorely disappointed. Well, now you know how I felt after slogging through Canopy. ;) quote: For reference, "insulting canopy" puts you in the company of well over dozens (an achievement for a gaming audience so diminutive! go me), and if you think I'd not have thick skin and design for roughly 4-5 years, you're dead wrong. Well, now, don’t misunderstand me. I have no problem insulting Canopy. It’s just not necessary for me to insult its author while doing so. I’m not implying you had any particular response or even took offense to what I wrote. I know you enjoy the sharpening whetstone applied to cold steel. You don’t have to convince me that you are thick-skinned. You also wrote Mad Ambition, so I also know your heart’s not as dead and numb as those of the baleful characters with which you infected Canopy.

Opening a Can o' Peas - An Apology to TM in General
Synergy Shaper Member # 6292	written Sunday, October 23 2005 23:16 Profile #0 TM, let me offer you this if I may: I wrote a slightly tongue-in cheek, but also aggressive and hyperbolic review of your Canopy back in September which I think it is apparent you have unearthed. I fess up to stepping a bit over the line for no good reason other than to exercise (exorcise?) some lingering vitriol. So, I simply ask your forgiveness if you found this offensive. I don’t resonate with your philosophies and attitudes, but I respect your contributions, and if feeling particularly self-punishing, I may even try any future BoA scenarios you inflict, er, graciously bestow upon us. If I didn't bother to indicate it sufficiently at the time, I enjoyed and admired a fair bit of Canopy, and even more so your Mad Ambition, technically, if not always in other ways. I was actually a bit touched by the warmth of relationships you portrayed in Mad Ambition. You betray a softer part of who you are by writing such characters, like it or not. I can’t do much about your lack of admiration for my own mutant breed of humor. We aim to please, but we can’t please all the people all the time. Some may debate whether we please any of the people any of the time, I suppose. :rolleyes: If you have other issue with me at this point, I’m sure you'll let me know. EDIT: Streamlined as an exercise in concision.

Synergy Shaper Member # 6292	written Friday, October 21 2005 18:22 Profile #55 Issues of sexual roles and gender roles are finally just beginning to get the attention they deserve in the last couple of generations. The casualties of males and females who have not been able to happily conform to someone's construct of what men and women are supposed to be and do probably counts in the billions. I think nothing is more central to the future of civilization than the examination of, challenging of, dissolution of, and recreation of our ideas for what is "male", "female", "masculine", and "feminine." As it all stands, so much of these concepts are more arbitrarily handed to us from the womb on than most of us would ever even think to consider possible. And these issues will be critically divisive for some time until we get a bit smarter about how versatile and varied being human really is, can be, and should be. So yeah, any topic on human sexuality and gender roles is likely to stir the pot. -------------------- [Insert Signature Here] Posts: 2009 \| Registered: Monday, September 12 2005 07:00
