Decline Game Shilling on Codex: Accepted or Not?

[toro]

Unfortunately I have to expose two worms which are infesting this forum.

The shills are: Goral and Lurker King

Proof: link

But I will post some badly formatted images for you own comfort:

Now, I don't blame Vault Dweller for using idiots in order to advertise his game. To be honest, I would do the same thing.

However these two idiots have gone too far in my opinion:

1) They derail any topic which somehow criticize AoD.

http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/inde...2016-goty-results.113518/page-30#post-4961420

2) Goral has some kind of personal vendetta against Underrail and Styg on Steam forums.

http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/inde...e-broken-man-courtesy-of-deep-caverns.112978/

3) Goral is advertising himself as DR tester (aka Dungeon Rats tester) therefore his opinion on the game cannot be subjective. His relation with IronTower must be completely disclosed.

4) They wrote AoD reviews or comments on gog, steam, metacritic, rps, rpgwatch and the codex. This is real dedication to their cause.

I don't care if Vault Dweller is paying them however I'm sick of reading their asinine comments. They clearly have an agenda and they are not interested in any constructive discussion. As you can see in the pictures above their sole purpose is to shill for AoD. For whatever reason.

Now, maybe I'm retarded but I don't think this thing is alright. In fact I'm a little bit angry because they managed to do this shit for so long and I actually tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. But this shit ain't cut it.

So, what do you think?

Shut them down. AoD is shit and everyone knows it already.

 

[Darth Roxor]

scandalous

truly appalling

 

[Rivmusique]

It's all just so sad. Reminds me of that Pathfinder(?) group drama thread in GD a while ago. No one comes out of it well, really.

There is no drama (at least on my part) and I didn't do anything to motivate a backfire (which doesn't mean it will not happen).

However these two assholes are really annoying. They preach 24/7 about AoD. They have a hard on for Underrail and they "work" in team. Try having a discussion with them and then tell me if I'm exaggerating.

 

[FeelTheRads]

Dumbfuck shill fanboys who always cry about Underrail fanboys. Already known, but they should be mocked at every occasion.

 

[norolim]

I don't agree with their opinions and they annoy me, so I will start a campaign to shut them down.

Are you a Canadian, by any chance, toro?

 

[Werdna's Revenge]

A scandal for the ages! Really it's just a couple of your average chucklefuck shills, nothing too terrible. Every half way exposed game gets a few of them.

No. I'm Romanian.

Also it's not about my butthurt if that is what you are implying.

 

[BlackAdderBG]

To escape jail time they should move to Romania, I heard the law is lenient in their case.

 

[Vault Dweller]

The shills are: Goral and Lurker King

Proof: link

Shills? Infecting?

Goral joined the Codex in 2008, long before we released anything. He joined our forums 5 years later. Lurker King joined the Codex 8 months prior to discovering AoD and joining our forums. If you want to blame someone, blame the Codex.

Now, I don't blame Vault Dweller for using idiots in order to advertise his game. To be honest, I would do the same thing.

I'm not using anyone to advertise the game mainly because it's a retarded way to advertise. I've never asked Goral or LK to post anything.

3) Goral is advertising himself as DR tester (aka Dungeon Rats tester) therefore his opinion on the game cannot be subjective. His relation with IronTower must be completely disclosed.

Are you fucking insane? Guess who else "advertises" himself as DR tester?

Darth Roxor himself? Was the guy who wrote two favorable reviews on ITS payroll all along? How scandalous!

DR tester is a group created for people we invited to take a look at the game mechanics before it was released. We invited Goral not because he posts a lot about the game but because he is very familiar with the mechanics and difficulty. We've also invited Eyestabber, because he beat AoD ironman-style.

4) They wrote AoD reviews or comments on gog, steam, metacritic, rps, rpgwatch and the codex. This is real dedication to their cause.

Simply unheard of. Never before have I seen people liking a game so much that they post about it on different forums. Once I've even caught some guys from the Codex posting about AoD on Obsidian forums. You may want to track them down too.

 

[Goral]

Like I said, toro is a stalker. That's a second thread attacking me and second collage of my posts you've made. Where I shill for my favourite game you stalk a user and waste your time on collecting my posts, WTF? I think I've broken you somehow, sorry. You also shill for UR but that's another matter.

 

[Rivmusique]

It's obvious something is going on. 90 day ban of all ITS Forum account holders, need proper vetting.

 

[Feyd Rautha]

I don't see what's wrong with that? If the game is good and you want to support the developer so that they can delvelop similar games in the future, then why not? And why don't try to maximise the impact of your opinion? If you don't maximise the effect of your reviews, then what's the point of doing them? And it is not like it it's a ton of work. You just post the same stuff on steam, gog, metacritic and whatever.

 

[Lazing Dirk]

My faith in the codex has been shaken to the core

To its very core

 

[duanth123]

But this shit ain't cut it.

So, what do you think?

Any justification for more tags and buttons.

The buttons must flow.

 

[Tacgnol]

It seems every other thread these days is a skirmish between AOD fans and UR fans.

 

[Bester]

Just ban everyone. From everywhere. Reviews being posted in too many places - this is just too much.

You probably didn't and I'm not blaming you of any wrong doing.

I did not know this. Thanks for clarifying it.

When someone is doing that shit 24/7 then something is not alright. They shutdown any discussion about AoD criticism.

I understand that you don't care about this situation because it is in your favor. I would feel the same.

However they are fucking pest for this forum and wherever they go. But who the fuck cares as long as it good for AoD sales.

the cult war is no laughing matter

 

[Sranchammer]

This is huge.

Conclusion?

To be young and have time again.. aaah..

You really think that when someone reads Goral's posts on the Codex they feel a strong and sudden urge to buy the game?

 

[Jazz_]

Yeah they are pure cringe, I haven't seen anyone gobble a dick as hard as those two since Sasha Grey retired from porn, it's quite embarassing to see. It wouldn't be a problem if they discussed AoD in the AoD thread but they hijack every thread with AoD somehow, but oh well, as Carl Sagan said ''when you are in love you want to tell the world''.

 

[Brancaleone]

This thread just made me remember that we really, really need an Alex Jones button.

Although I would have no idea about how to fit it into 20x20 pixels, my favourite would definitely be a 'We are breaking the conditioning!!' one.
