Please delete the RPGcodex twitter account if it is just going to be used to shill

While I'm sure Fargo and a few of the other favorited developers enjoy it, it is undignified and embarrassing for anyone else who associates with this website.

Here is a recent example, although you can find many more if you just scroll through the tweets of the RPGcodex twitter account.

https://twitter.com/RPGCodex/status/639827342035152896

You can't even use the excuse that this is somehow RPG related (although just because something is RPG related is not a defense for shilling) since Harmonix does not make RPGs. It has only been tweeted since it is more PR for fig, which has strong involvement from several of the developers (Fargo and Feargus) that several of the codex staff would like to get jobs with want to be friends with.

Maybe you should make a twitter account and complain about it there. Forums are so outdated and for old farts, social media 3.0 is the future.

Welcome to Codex 2.0

 

[Infinitron]

Of all the examples you could use, you picked that? It's just reporting the news.

I can see through your lies, merchant.

 

[Infinitron]

Well, in that case, guilty as charged. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Eirikur]

The phrase "I wonder who else they can bring on board" makes the Codex sound so appalingly interested and optimistic.

It's even retweeting RPGWatch...

 

[Surf Solar]

There are people who use twitter seriously?

No it's all an elaborate joke xd

[Zorba the Hutt]

Is that "bring the grandkids to work day" at RPG Watch HQ?

 

[Bubbles]

The Watch is deep in the pockets of moneyed interests, as you well know. We don't want any guilt by association.

 

[Zed]

codex should publicly tweet at developers telling them to go fuck themselves imo

 

[Bubbles]

Not a bad idea, actually. A twitter war with Josh Sawyer could send a lot of PR our way.

#LMAO

But this was a good tweet, I even favourited it:

 

[King Crispy]

I found that particular example so galling because, as I said in the original post, it does not even have anything to do with RPGs.

It's a good thing you're so concerned about discussion about RPG's.

Oh, wait.

The Real RPG Codex doesn't have a Twitter account. Only a Steam group: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/rrpgc

 

[Infinitron]

It's a good thing you're so concerned about discussion about RPG's.

Oh, wait.

Too bad we can't get the Shoutbox percentage

 

[DarkUnderlord]

I'm sure someone could run a script against the archived threads for the shoutbox.

 

[pippin]

At least the Twitter is active, unlike Codex's Facebook. Plus, I don't see the shilling in OP's example, just butthurt, so I can only advice some hemorrhoids medicine.

Oh, wait.

He does indeed play strategy games like Dominion 4 , you know its a very hardcore strategy game with 8 bits graphics and very strong rpg elements. A bit slow with pbem multi alas, but everyone should try it once. The number of post in general rpg forum does not portray well an individual, there's simply not much to discuss there if you like true hardcore rpgs. The few good ones we got this year , do have their own subforums too.
No point to slander people, the day darkunderlord is fed up ,the new administration will turn the dex into something so mainstream and friendly even rpgwatch will look at it and be embarassed.

Now that's what I'd call a shill.

Edit: Dammit, my Queen tag always gets in the way of what I want to post. DarkUnderlord, have I earned a reprieve from it yet?

Play DOM 4, till the end without quitting and we'll speak again "sheriff"

I thought it was a bad tweet and exerted my Divine Right of not favouriting it.
