Forum Trolls: The Happening!
C. Demetrius Morgan
This is your chance to be a irregular Forum Troll! Yes, that's right, this
is the birthday game to end all birthday games, the bestest of the bestest,
the most fun you can have without spending a lot of those hard fought and
won gold coins that grow like mushrooms out of floors in dungeons
everywhere.
To begin have the players sit in front of their computers. They will need
to log into the Internet, however they choose to, and then proceed to The
Forge @ http://www.indie-rpgs.com/. The game lasts a limited time and takes
places in the Birthday forum only!
So, how does one play?
Simple. Like good Trolls everywhere know the games starts with a non
sequiter, which the next Troll playing the games picks up. Every non
sequiter must contain the phrase 'The Forge' and in some way be related to
the previous phrase.
For instance:
Troll A: "The Forge is a great source of information"
Troll B: "An information abyss, that's what The Forge is."
Troll C: "Speaking of an Abyss, did you know that The Forge was the first
place to yadayadayada"
So simple! So easy! So much fun!
Just remember the rulesP: Be civil to one another and no wonton bashing. Unless it involves evildoers. ;)
Hi there,
I'll be Troll A!
This conversation at the Forge offended me!
Best,
Ron
P.S. This game is restricted to this thread only.

Speaking of radicals, I'm thinking of a really really cool and realistic mechanism for determining attack damage. The thing is, it requires players to calculate fractional roots of percentile die rolls. Would this be a problem?

I thought the Forge was above all this sort of childish drivel. I am so disappointed...

Are The Forge moderators turning a blind eye toward rules and regulations of society in a effort to promote a libertine ideal? After all it is well known that everyone at The Forge are radical free thinkers who think of life as a two in one pit stop full of cryptic remarks! Of course they may claim to be free thinkers at The Forge but are they, really, or is it just another brand of rightwing marxist propoganda designed to get us all to play indie role-playing games?

did you name this place The Forge anyway?

Jargon is the bread of fools and lies the butter of day old toast! Of course like Hephaestus wielding his hammer upon The Forge there are those who will believe in The Forge and those who will not. The Forge is a hot bed of seductive reasoning for those who choose to think about whether they want to believe or disbelieve and therefore The Forge fosters radical designs in narrativism. Would you not agree?

If you are interested in True Trolling, you should check out my game TrollWorld (http://indie-rpgs.com/). It is innovative and great! Like nothing else, ever. You see, you get to play a Troll. He can be a Fighter, Wizard, Assassin, or Shaman. Shamans and Wizards can use giant two-handed troll swords! It rocks!

Everyone at the Forge knows that freeform play is just for people who are afraid to state their social contract. Real members of The Forge are dedicated Gamists in the HackMaster tradition.

Are writhing tentacle beasts criss-crossing the hallowed halls of The Forge in search of true love, or is it just another blatant pro narrativist ploy to generate posts?
Perhaps casual visitors to The Forge will never know for, as rumor has it, the heavy authoratative fist of moderation is whacking offending non-narrativist posts with the atomic death knell of censorship doom!

Your call to "GAME" and your willingness to worship the antichrist (clearly due to your tactical desire for short-term power) are both evidence of a Gamist orientation, however your insistence upon the importance of gaming "like normal people" shows that you are relying upon Simulationist assumptions.
You are clearly incoherent. You should read some of the articles at the Forge.

QuoteACK! MEIN GOT! Ist terribubble!
Eh? What do the Teletubbies have to do with my conduct at the Forge?
I mean, besides my agreeing with Laa-laa that GNS overlooks a fundamental conflict between metagame agenda and emotional player investment in the character's happiness, which becomes particularly acute in Simulationism?
- Walt
Dude, as a father of a two-year old, I can tell you that it's not Laa-laa, it's just Lala.
And as to Lala's GNS predilections, we all know that he stance issue completely dissociates GNS from issues of player to character relationships in the non-metagame sense. To discuss this in terms of metagame agenda would be to assume that there were some transparency issues with Immersion in terms of creating story in a given genre.
Mike
Dude! I love PVP Online!
p.s. my hat of The Forge know no limit!
Mike, as we often point out at the Forge, it's not really possible to address these issues without reference to a substantial instance of Actual Play. So, I ask you to consider the following example:
NARRATOR: It was time for Tubby Custard.
PLAYERS: Tubby custaaad! Tubby custaaad!
NARRATOR: Po, roll your agility pool.
PLAYER 1 (PO): Okay, I'm using all three of my dice. [rolls] 2 1 4... no successes.
NARRATOR: Po's Tubby Custard spilled all over the place.
PLAYER 1 (PO): Eh oh!
PLAYERS: Eh oh!
NARRATOR: Lala, roll your agility pool.
PLAYER 2 (LALA): I'm only rolling one die, so I can trade the others two for a point to my nuu-nuu pool. [rolls] 4, a failure.
NARRATOR: Lala's Tubby Custard spilled all over the place.
PLAYER 2 (LALA): Eh oh!
PLAYERS: Eh oh!
NARRATOR: Dipsy, roll your agility pool.
PLAYER 3 (DIPSY): I can roll up to five dice, or choose to roll fewer. Hmm...
Now, Dipsy's player faces a difficult choice. On the one hand, the metagame agenda of fidelity within this particular high-concept sim game demands that Dipsy continue the trend established by Po and Lala, and also spill her custard. The mechanics give her that option (or at least, a recourse that results in a high probability of that occurrence, by rolling fewer dice). But Dipsy's player also knows that Dipsy does not want to spill her custard, and doing so will make Dipsy sad. This is not a stance issue, it's a conflict that exists entirely within the player, between serving the metagame agenda by spilling the custard, or creating an outcome more favorable to Dipsy by avoiding spilling the custard. It's also not an issue of drift. Player 3's desire to avoid spilling the custard does not, in this instance, arise from the challenge of adept custard-handling. (Such a player agenda clearly could be Gamist, but it equally clearly is not necessarily so, any more than a movie audience's desire to see the good guys win must be motivated by competition or challenge.) Instead, it arises from the player's emotional identification with the character's well-being. Simulationism is the mode most often associated with close player identification with the character... and yet the idea of prioritizing fidelity (whether to causality or to genre expectations of coutcome) above all else appears to demand clinical detachment on the player's part, which is rarely if ever observed in actual play. This is a hidden arrhythmia at the heart of Simulationism. It's not an effect of drift but rather one of its strongest causes. And it's often mistaken for (or for want of alternatives end up expressed as) Gamism.

The quantum entanglements of the GNS debates here at The Forge are a lot like stove top stuffing: dry when you first open the package, then essentially a lot of breadcrumbs spilled into flavored water, until you stir. That's when it gets really interesting!
Take the above example, for instance, it is liberally dipped in The Forge's special chocolate sauce of metaphorical determinism of absolutist ideologues as rooted in The Forge's preconceptions about the status quo of metagame construct cost ananylsis. The average Forgeite might as well assume that Dipsy, knowing that its player is going soon to set out on a journey to Farther India, would thus negate the die rolls by acting to make its player think. Something which wfreitag was obviously waving a nieve at with the above observation in a effort to shake the very foundations of The Forge's most basic preconceptions about the social interaction amongst trolls. Er... Telewubbies.

Cooking has never been a matter of much concern to Trolls.
This is not a stance issue, it's a conflict that exists entirely because there are certain dynamic pressures that members of The Forge uber cabal just can't divulge, thus perhaps a certain degree of the pomp seems more like a day old flumph than the shiney new car which you desire.

The Forge is a den of polytheistiswidgetwizes of utmost economy which allows for the overlooking of certain fundamental conflicts that arise between members of the jackbooted liberal 'fair use lobby' and those plush and lovable die hard grognards of 'no you can't ever mention my stuff without paying me first' so that knowledge can be inseminated with kitchen basters into the minds of the many.
