As a RPGDot/RPGWatch veteran and long-time RPGCodex lurker I don't get this constructed conflict.
Both sites care about crpgs - there are two sides of the same coin.
Maybe some kind of a friendly rivalry is there - making some fun of each other

So I would prefer a friendly story between the 2 NPCs in Original Sin.

Just my 2 Cent.

I'm afraid on this forum full of contrarian assholes nobody would get into donation frenzy over that.

I think I speak in the name of every codexian, when I say: what that stupid shit.

Talking? We are not talking here on the Codex! We assault the enemy, we crush 'em, rape their children and took their wom...I mean rape their women and take their children.

Sorry, Codexers don't have any friends.

So why I am your enemy ?

You just admitted that you are a long time RGP Watcher. A spy, among our ranks. Execute him!

I thought it would be a laugh, even if the Troll got taken apart by the Tower. Something fun in the game. I assume the Watch agreed to this when it was proposed so why the butthurt now?

It's just a friendly competition designed to spur on donations. We talk a little trash to each other, make a few photoshops, and hopefully Larian gets more money.

10 years from now when we replay D:OS, we chuckle as we watch the great Codex Troll crush the puny Watch Tower.

in fact I am the Elder Spy!

Friendly things are less likely to raise money then competition in general. Doing this creates that drive of competition and feeling with most people that will be useful for pushing people to support the game a bit more. Honestly given Larian's style of writing tongue in cheek I expect it not to be serious on the whole and played with some so it won't be done in a bashing way. And if in the meantime it raises extra money for D:OS which really needs it I support it.

This works here at the Codex and is unfortunately counterproductive at the Watch.

I'd suggest a bit of a different narrative then selling at the watch for it. Talking about creating a better game, a structure that can withstand time and even the issues that come up.

I mean if marketers are going to make getting the games we want harder - no reason we can't use the ploys they use to work for us too. Understanding your audience and then playing to it is a key part!

I thought this site was for the more mature, established, audience and that the codex was full of immature folks who live in momma's basement. There are some major posters on RPGWatch that haven't given a dime, which is both amusing and disappointing. I'm surprised the European community of Watchers can't at least match me and Galaad too. Maybe we need our own bidding war of the Americas vs. the World. So far it'd be a slaughter in favor of the Americas

Even if we would, it wouldn't be even half as fun.

Oh fuck off. The only difference between how the two places criticize each other are that the Codex speaks honest but crudely, while the Watch uses holier-than-thou attitude. Find the thread called "RPG Codex is a cesspool". Calling us children, foaming grognards and immature rank among the least of the insults and serve as fine examples of the fact that the Watch does as much name-calling as anyone else, they just don't use profanity (you know, 'cause adults don't use profanity, only childr... oh, wait).
I liked both communities right up until I saw the pure arrogance and delusion displayed by almost all RPG Watch posters in that thread. The holier-than-thou buillshit gave me nausea. At least the retards here put their idiocy on display so no one is in doubt as to the nature of that particular retardation. I'll take honesty over false courtesy any day.

The game is going to be full of personalised kickstarter odds and ends, from jailers to 'mysterious strangers', to statues. It's a big game, and Larian do things in a quirky manner. I think it'll be fine.

This sentence directly contradicts all of my 20 years worth of gaming experience. Prepare to be burninated.

The current impasse can be pretty aptly represented by the following video, I think.



Now, the Watch is represented by the cat that's being really stiff and uptight and autistic and for some reason misinterpreting a friendly invitation for good-humoured jollity and peer-to-peer banter as an unwelcome, even malicious display of aggression that needs to be treated with superior disdain, violent hissings, and even panic. While the Codex is of course the adorable little puppy.

Never thought I'd write that.
