Gaming / Re: My Metal Gear/Solid Marathon (MGS2 complete)

when spoilers are posted

men become demons

I view this gif with an entirely different mindset now

*sigh*

14942
Also, is Lemon's thread safe yet?

14943
Sad Lad, I'd stop responding. No response you get from Gats will change the situation in any way but for the worse.

You're right.

14944
south west london, wimbledon. come see me.

Why? What would that accomplish?

It's too late now. Hence, the "I would go back in time" section of my post.

So not only are you a cunt, you're also an illiterate fucking retard.

Just, I associate "outburst" with, like... Deci-tier explosions, of which I haven't had any since, like... a long time.

Oh, sorry. I didn't mean it like that.

14946
Everything we built up, gone.
Now it's time to rebuild.

Get it? Just like Mother Base.

That reaction gif was smooth, Boss. Real smooth.

Also, is Gatsby's post safe?

I swear they said something about "wanting to see if your cool demeanor will be maintained"

but as far as I'm concerned you've always maintained that demeanor in gaming, at least, post-apology.

Which is kinda what I meant. I'm probably not as coherent as I usually am ATM, though.

14948
That being said I'd obviously want to turn back the clock and murder Gatsby.

14949
This place was a nice safe haven of MGS

Now it has been tained

:(

Actually it makes a decent metaphor for Big Boss and Outer Heaven.

14950
It's really hard to maintain this idea I have that maybe people are inherently decent

like really hard

Thanks for the support CIA.

This forum-specific monitor (I'd rather mod) is an exceptionally good idea.

The reason Verb wasn't made a monitor a few days ago was because of his "out-bursts", which all either took place in Serious or the Flood.

Don't give him power there. Only in Gaming.

14952
Kill yourself.

Lets do it together.

I get to die, and the world doesn't have to deal with you anymore.

Win-win.

14953
The train near my college sounded just as Boss screamed in your avatar. It was perfect.

That's awesome.

Though now that I'm looking at this gif over and over, I can tell that there's still a lot of stuff not ruined by Gats. I feel a bit better.

And I also think that what he spoiled, for me,
This spoiler is regarding a possible timeframe for what he spoiled for me
takes place at the beginning of the game if I'm right
. Based on what I know, I've pieced together what I saw. . .

Obviously I won't go into it 'cuz I don't want to spoil it for others, but.

14954
Right, right. K I'll shut it.

Thanks. Sorry, I don't mean to come off as an asshole.

Hopefully this thread doesn't give you false impressions of me.

14955
Does your new avatar represent how you feel after recent events?

Yeah. So does my name.

14956
is it too late to apologise?

You're a cunt. I've always been nice to you. What did I ever do to deserve this?

If I kill myself it's because of you. Have that on your conscience, asshole. That's not a joke, this game is the only thing I've been looking forward to for years.

14957
Thunder really.
Yeah. I was never really fan. Just watching the opening, no spoils m8 relax.

I know, but you're still setting up expectations.

That;s my point.

14958
I know the
If you've been following any major MGSV outlets, you probably now this. Not a spoiler, it just sets up expectations
the opening is apparently really good
but damn man, I still don't want to know that.

I agree. I'd rather have Verb be the mod if we had to choose, out of purely selfish reasons.

But if I was asked I'd do it. That's my point.

Metal Gear was the only game I really cared about spoilers for, because I'm so invested in the story (like, ridiculously so. I study MG lore more than my school textbooks).

I don't care for spoilers on other games (though I'd rather them be avoided tbh), but you bring up a good point, Batch.

14962
Hey I got my views, but like every other gamer, spoiler are not good, mmkay?

Lets just get this train back on the rails.

I'm probably not going to be on-topic until tomorrow, probably.

In which case I'll reply to all the other stuff that's been said so far. I just don't have to patience to do so right now.

Even giving the OP of a thread the power to view everyone's post, before they post them (to deem if they're okay), would be better than nothing. YouTube has this option, where your comment has to be approved by the uploader before it's public.

This way it mitigates the effect of an asshole.
You're still being exposed to spoilers this way

I know, but at least the other people in the thread wouldn't be.

I'd rather know the entire MGSV plot 2 months ago if that meant no one else would have it spoiled for them.

It's a mitigation of the effects.

I mean... I like that, too, but the trouble with that kind of system is that it wouldn't be very conducive to fluid discussion, and it may disincentivize some people from posting at all because the OP might take too long to look over the post.

I guess I'm looking at this in a more subjective sense, because I know for a fact I've been extremely active in my own thread that the "overlooking" of people's comments wouldn't slow it down too much.

We were already having derail problems with Challenger, that could've been completely avoided with this option.

It's not a perfect option I know.

14965
I mean, I still want to shoot myself

but the support from Lemon, Verb, Batch (did not expect that at all) and a lot of the mods feels pretty good.

Also Boss, there's a thread going on in Septagon forum discussing what we could do to combat this if you wanna jump in.

Oh, I've had this idea for awhile. It's not like other forums don't do it--if anything, it's silly that we don't.

A long time ago, I proposed that Meta should be a mod presiding over Serious.
I still think he should, but he's AWOL right now.

I just feel like, as of right now, we're extremely exposed. There's no preventative measure in place whatsoever, it's all reactionary.

Even giving the OP of a thread the power to view everyone's post, before they post them (to deem if they're okay), would be better than nothing. YouTube has this option, where your comment has to be approved by the uploader before it's public.

You guys are absolutely certain gatsby's posts aren't spoiler-induced, right?
I'll double check, but I saw no spoilers in quotes

Make sure gatsby's actual posts don't contain anything, either.

thanks man, i owe you big. you can raid my motherbase whenever you want :D
Double checked.
All of Gatsby's posts are either labelled as a spoilers, or deleted.
Thunder did quote one his posts, but I checked, and he had removed the image URL from the quote before posting.

Awesome, thanks man.

I can see how the last part of my post could be a bad thing, though.

Is anyone else warming up to this mod/monitor for gaming idea, or is it just me?

Ideally, enforce my/Verb's standards for spoilers until 2 weeks after release

afterwards only real spoilers count

or just give OPs the ability to remove/edit posts in their own thread.
