He seems to be systematically going through every post and replying to it.

Weird.

Thanks !

Ya, well, hopefully in the released product (if the concept art is released) some acknowledgment will be given to the source of inspiration. It sure should be done that way.

Hey Astarsis, welcome to the 'codex.

Most of what you mention has been addressed in some of the other posts, so I'll just leave it at that...

I think any issues would have been dissipated (or not even brought up at all) if the concept art was accompanied by some sort of blurb by the artist.

If you clearly state the source of your influences/basis/direct quotation (or 2D art equivalent) then it is not plagiarism - as per submitting a university paper with clearly indicated references.
I don't think that placing an explanation in a semi-obscure forum (either this one, or a TES-fanboy one) is quite the same as being totally up-front and accompanying the graphics in your marketing material with the explanation.

And we'd also quite possibly get something to read. I'm always interested to know about the thought processes behind a creation.

Whatever. No doubt no-one cares anymore anyways :wink:

What the fuck? Who the fuck?

What's up with the Astarsis kid and the huge posts to himself? And what's with the quoting on the bottom of the post?

Get a grip, fucker.

Ah Ah Ah

Astarsis kid, good joke, excellent ready

Ya, quoting indicate what you're replying to
Otherwise it's quite impossible to guess

And since when did post exchange had to be real time ?

What a shame, I thought peoples here were grown-up able to have mature conversations about RPGs, seems I got mistaken perhaps

Well if you are not able to reply to the replies to your posts, you must be verry busy doing some awfully serious stuff, right ?

Anyhow, when you get a minute you can look at those posts and realize a few of those were addressed to you

Grow up Chefe !

Yeah, that's called finding some interesting stuuf in a thread that otherwise started in a rather weird way

I've been reading posts over here for a while... decided to talk, any problem with that ?

I can help, I'm already crazy, I can show you the way

First you must breath through your fingers, then drink a whole Mapple tree (the tree, not the sirrup)

After that you must chant

*Shub Nigurath is my master*

when Nyarlathotep appear, start screaming, that should do it

If it doesn't work, rinse and repeat :twisted:

Paragraphs, man, paragraphs!
Coherent thoughts, man, coherent thoughts!

Trying to read your segmented, nonsensical posts is making my head hurt.

No, not at all.

It was just kinda unusual for someone to write so many (lengthy) posts in a row, completely uninterrupted, is all.

Usually threads have some sort of dialogue effect (i.e. someone joins in at some point).

A bad habit of mine

I usually jump in at odd moment and makes comments on anything I find interesting

Get an education, Chefe, it will be well worth it

In that picture of yours you look older than I imagined, you probably acted on my suggestion and grew up really fast.

With 1000s of peoples worlwide having used software I wrote, and many dozens junior programmers having read my design docs and executed my design flawlessly.... I think you can put yours silly pointless comments where I think they should go

Thank you

Bessides I read some of your posts (lots of them) and you always got that bastardy insulting condesceding attitude toward nearly everyone. I bet you were a bully in school and used to intimidate peoples because of your size ? Well, isn't it time you outgrow those problems of yours ?


Lumpy said:
At least, quote up.

quoting down is a bad habit of mine

The codex is a magnet of the deranged.

Let's all pray to Chtullu, our master

Amen

That's it for this week folks !

No doubt Chefe will have some nasty comments, don't pay attention :mrgreen:

That said, Chefe, no hard feeling, but at least try to read what's addressed to you in that discussion of mine and make intelligible comments on it.... Once in a while you make interesting posts, I'm sure you can do it more often

Come on, that's the best you can do? At least let me have a little fun.

Or maybe all that time on the TES forums (you're the Astarsis from TES, right?) has desensitized your ability to come up with a retort.

With 1000s of peoples worlwide having used software I wrote, and many dozens junior programmers having read my design docs and executed my design flawlessly.... I think you can put yours silly pointless comments where I think they should go

Really? Awesome! Guess what? I'm the Queen of England, the Duke of Syria, and the Kingpin of Marine Biology. Millions upon millions of scientists worldwide have read my doctrine on the Ecology of Marine Invertebrates And Other Foozles.

Really, who are you trying to impress, or even convince?

Oh great Astarsis, I bow down to your intellect.

Bessides I read some of your posts (lots of them) and you always got that bastardy insulting condesceding attitude toward nearly everyone. I bet you were a bully in school and used to intimidate peoples because of your size ? Well, isn't it time you outgrow those problems of yours ?

I guess my life has been in vain. Thank you for showing me the light!

Aw, shucks Mr. A! By golly, I'll try to be good n' swell!

Well, anyways, in the same vein... Once in a while you make a coherent post and use paragraphs, using more than just randomly placed uncohesive thoughts; I'm sure you can do it more often.

You're so out of speech you actually had to fake a quote ?

At least mine are all real, you should even know where I took them from if you're that clever

And, ya, those are posts, why should I care at all about the typos, hey ?

Pretty decent considering english isn't my first language, and that I jot down those words pretty fast. How many languages do you speak Chefe ?

Nihongo anashimaska ?
Puedo habla espanol ?
Parlez vous francais ?

Oh sorry, you speak the fuck-ya tonge, I should have known. English is your second language too. Congrats ! I'm trully impressed !

And you know what's funny ? While chatting with you, I still finished my report on time ! He He !

Ooh, that hurts. You cut deep. Of course I faked your post. Is this a new concept to you? And what the hell, is that your retort? Kid, you need to back away from the ES forums, you're arguing like those guys: "HAY! ur quote isn't real!!! mods devs! CLOS THRED PLZ! HIS QUOTE NOT REAL!"

Dumbfuck.

And, ya, those are posts, why should I care at all about the typos, hey ?

Clarify, plz.

Pretty decent considering english isn't my first language, and that I jot down those words pretty fast. How many languages do you speak Chefe ?

Tell me


in your language


do people

type

like


this

!


omfgwtf


!!


?

Nihongo anashimaska ?
Puedo habla espanol ?
Parlez vous francais ?

Oh sorry, you speak the fuck-ya tonge, I should have known. English is your second language too. Congrats ! I'm trully impressed !

Where the hell are your getting your insults from? What the fuck are you talking about? If you're going to insult me, at least be coherent and (at least) semi-intelligent about it. Using the phrase "fuck-ya" doesn't do anything except prove that you're an adolescent douchebag.

I mean, really, at least make your insults funny and give me something to work with.

Or, should I put that in your language?

Ooog gah ooa!

owhg gooock koog.

oog oog gah oomp gha ah!

onng gool eoow nnnou.

ahhg gaghh qmph urx.

goog aog gooq oog ogg.

And you know what's funny ? While chatting with you, I still finished my report on time ! He He !

Oh man, it must have been hard with a whole three posts eating up your time. It's amazing you got anything accomplished at all.

Oh yea, almost forgot. Eat shit and die, pigfucker.

What do you want to say? that don't make sense.

Option A - Can i speak spanish? - ¿Puedo hablar en castellano? (español is the person who live in Spain, castellano is the language that spanish and a lot of people from south america use.)

Option B - Do you speak spanish? -¿Hablas castellano?

You got me there, I don't speak spannish at all actually :D

just joting down some words I half remembered from a spanish friend trying to teach me some spanish words years ago. Still lucky it even look like spanish.

I was figuring Chefe *might* know spanish since it's popular in the US

As far as I know espanol was still used for the language, at least in some countries. But I won't debate this.
