English may not be my first language, but I'm pretty sure that's incorrect right there. :D

Also: Could you point out to me where Sol Invictus or anyone else has alleged a connection between you and right-wing terrorist groups? Granted, I only skimmed over the ~400 posts made in the Great 2005 Cleve Vs Sol drama, but all I could find were some quotes of you claiming that Sol made that connection.

Edit: Thanks for those posts by the way, Cleve. They really brightened my day. Seeing phrases like "satire" and "ad hominem" pop up made me giggle.

Sol Invictus claimed I belonged to numerous right-wing boards, wrote articles for them and contributed money to fund their terrorist plots. That's just too far over the top.

As proof, the shrunken midget from hell posted a link to a site where the locals had copied another blog from me on American Patrol and surrounded it with their commentary. This was just a forum with no formatting set up by some group somewhere. They reprinted all kinds of things on that site.

Saint Proverbius is just a plain bad person to have left that tripe up. If the situation was reversed there is no way I would leave garbage up like that posted by some former site administrator about him. I think Proverbius is an airhead but that doesn't mean I'm going to accuse him of funding right wing terrorist organizations and crazy, lunatic stuff like Exitium put up. Sol Invictus has serious problems telling the truth about anything and from what I have seen of his chat room transcripts this is a guy who would be considered really disturbed by anybody who encountered him. I read where Exitium wanted to chew on somebody's face, fantasized about rape, talked about inherently evil almost every race is, bragged of his sexual relations with a fat woman who passes out nearby, went into details of his bizarre sexual dreams of using a doosh on himself, just too much to believe. This dude is way, way out there. Funny how the psychological experts on this forum who do parlor diagnosis at the drop of a hat never seem to dwell for long on Exitium, who is essentially one gigantic genetic misfire.

Saint Proverbius has left outrageous libels on his site for over two years without deleting them or making any effort to print a correction.

To give you an idea of just how dumb the Pekinese from Peking is, he picked some organization out of the air - "Stormfront," and said I was associated with it, registered on their forum, etc. etc. .... dumbass, one of the scandals that came out of Timothy McVey's trial was when government informants revealed that both Elohim City and "Stormfront" were government sting operations run to see if they could catch people plotting terrorist activities. So Exitium in his crude tinybrained way was trying to associate me with some evil Nazi mens without realizing it's actually an exposed government front going back about ten years or more. The only idiots left on the planet who don't know that, I guess would be Exitium.

Exitium apparently has carte blanche to say things that clearly are libelous in print on Saint Proverbius's site and since he has made no effort to remove them, I would say Proverbius is liable when my lawyer finally digs up his home address for legal correspondence.

You have kids don't you? How old are they and what do they think of your project? Aren't you afraid that as they grow up they'll start doubting you and want to go and build their own lives out in the world away from the shelter?

Sorry for asking so many questions but that's the thing that interests me. An adult doing this on his own is his own business though pointless, I can't imagine how it would affect a family.

Maybe in televitz world, where all bright and prepared people are the source of evil.

In real world, should you ever raise children of your own, you will find your children will forever remember their father as the man who always thought of their well-being before his own and spent his life always assuring they would have what they needed so they would never be afraid.

Televitz says that home educated children raised with traditional values grow up to be dangerous raving psychos who are a threat to us all. Reality says they grow up to be sane, win spelling bees and generally excel their public school counterparts by about a ten year gap in mental age. Television says that girls raised at home will not become the stars of sodomy gangbang films, which hurts the Amerikwan economy since their number one financial export product is pornography. Such young men and women are forever damaged by their lack of exposure to hardcore needle drugs and gangsta rap.

At some point, you're going to have to decide between reality or television. One of them is lying to you about what kind of world it is. Obviously, it's not televitz.

I've got a good idea for you, though. Instead of worrying about other people's families, why don't you start one of your own? See if you make it as good as I have made mine.

Oprah Winfrey is Amerikwa's leading authority on families, relationships and child rearing. She's a fifty year old lesbian who has never been married, never had a long term relationship and never had any children she didn't get skull-drilled. Which when you think about it ... kind of like everything in Amerikwa ... doesn't ... actually make sense.

I think you should start your own family. I think chickenhawks who encourage our troops into battle should be put on the front lines with an M-16 and a Twinkie. I think concerned childless liberals with no end of theories on childrearing should start families and put their theories into practice. I think politicians who talk about how important families are to Amerikwa when their own family looks like a train wreck hit by a 747 have no authority to speak on such things. Amerikwa needs more real people and fewer Amerikwan lite-brand humanoid substitutes.

Being a good father and raising happy children is a really hard thing to do. My children were recently honored for their character by a combined vote of their teachers, indpendently of one another. Other parents often ask what it is we did that we ended up with such good children. One of the secrets is to love them for real. I suspect, seriously, that most Amerikwans are too damaged by the time they become adults to ever really love anybody in a sincere way. If you've spent your whole life sneering at everything and trying to act cool, what happens when you have to love others for real? I don't think they can do it. But they always have advice on how they'd do it ... you know ... I mean, if they did and all.

P.S. My neighbors told me once they used to laugh at me back in 2003 seeing me down on the bottom of a 3 meter deep pit at midnight shoveling gravel. My nextdoor neighbor told me a couple months ago they don't laugh anymore with what is happening in the world. In fact, they asked me if I could predict anything for them because I seemed to have some kind of precognition. They asked if I worked for the government or had some other access to privileged information, I told them I didn't, I just had access to the internet. Everything happening right now was so obvious to me in 1998. I knew about all of this stuff before it began. If you ask me how I knew, it is exactly like asking me what makes me so sure that taking water out of the toilet and putting it on plants will make them grow.

Claiming somebody is a supporter of right-wing terrorist groups and other crap like that I'm a "nazi" is just plain stupid.

Nazis would actually be left wing, considering it's the National Socialist Workers Party.

If I really was a racist then why do you have to make up so much stuff out of thin air?

No one said racist, but bigot? Yeah, that seems to fit.

The reality is that the excavation costs alone for my shelter probably exceed what that guy will earn in his entire adult life.

Whoops, wrong there.

That shelter was hewn from ancient granite

As opposed to the new fangled, modern granite made yesterday?

I refer you to today's headlines in the newspaper to understand why I built the shelter. If that doesn't make anything click for you, I'm already tired.

http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-14011 ?

By the way, the use of the word "Nazi" to brand anybody who says we should put toilet water on plants as bad is why the word has ceased to mean anything at all.

It obviously means something to you. You've spent three years dwelling on it.

Saint Proverbius has left outrageous libels on his site for over two years without deleting them or making any effort to print a correction.

Pardon me for knowing the difference between libel and the First Amendment. See, you're free to call as many people subhuman as you want and that's fine by me. Exitium is free to call you a nazi in response to the things you've said. While neither is exactly high minded discourse, both are perfectly acceptable under the Constitution.

The Freedom of Speech isn't there for saying things like "Flowers are pretty" or "Cancer is bad". You know, the things the vast majority of people can come together and agree on. Freedom of Speech is there to protect things that people won't agree on. I'm sure the British people don't agree with you that they're subhuman. In fact, if you took a poll, I'd say most of them think they're human. Just like Exitium called you out on it saying that you're a nazi for those opinions. You don't agree with his statement, and that's fine too. He didn't like what you said, you didn't like what he said. Great! Three years later, the world still goes on and everyone else has opinions on both statements, and they're free to share those also.

I read where Exitium wanted to chew on somebody's face, fantasized about rape, talked about inherently evil almost every race is, bragged of his sexual relations with a fat woman who passes out nearby, went into details of his bizarre sexual dreams of using a doosh on himself, just too much to believe. This dude is way, way out there.

Yeah, but he's fun at parties!

You know I wasn't questioning your parenting skills - I never said anything about your parenting skills and I wouldn't because I've never met you. I just asked if your family is as much into your theories as you are. Why do you get so defensive?

And by the way I watch less than two of television every week, mainly at breakfast for the weather and local news.

Biggest pile of steaming heap I read since this Neo-Nazi-Party rallye

You, Sir are an idiot.

More scientific speaking: your dumb world view is completly without understanding for the complex matters behind statistics, that you should've learned in your basic classes in college. But, thinking about it, I don't think you ever attended any school outside your redneck town in what people still claim to be the heartland.

Rotten.To.The.Core.

Sorry, Brennus, but you're the idiot. You're a brainwashed tool.

First off, I don't make ANY conclusions. I just state facts. I am not saying "Let's round these fucker up and kill them." I don't support any genuinely Naziistic ideals whatsoever, or have any belief that whites are genetically superior or make any sweeping generalizations or predjudices about ANY group, and in fact my point was to point out the glaring hypocrisy of Azrael. Most people of all races are *not* criminals, but facts are facts. There are more crimes in the US by nonwhites, and bullshit claims that it's all due to racism are just that - bullshit. Criminals are responsible for crime, not society. Period.

It's pathetic and disturbing that these days merely SPEAKING THE TRUTH makes someone a racist in the eyes of so many braindead idiots like yourself.

Immigration is a separate issue from race, as well. Every country with open immigration is a shithole. No two ways about it. The higher your population, the lower your quality of life. Especially when the immigrants coming in are often the dregs of society from these countries, and many countries are completely lawless and full of gangs. So...you let lots of immigrants in from early 20th century Sicily and you get the mafia. What kind of surprise is that? A big surprise for you, and for apologists. Not any surprise for anyone with a brain, though.

The only sort of immigration that's fair or makes any sense is balanced immigration. If 100k people are willing to move to Albania from the US then 100k albanians can come here. If none, then none. Otherwise our population will just continue to skyrocket just like the world population, which is in a critical food shortage due, crazily enough, to overpopulation.

If I were a neonazi, I doubt I'd be voting for Obama.

I get the impression most people in Europe today are against immigration. There's been a huge change in five years, when even right-wing people would hesitate to speak their mind. Now centrists and a lot of moderate left-wingers are also for immigration controls and the 'freedom of movement'/'no borders' ideology has lost all credibility. People like Sir Brennus (if he actually believes in that, I don't know) are the hard-core minority.

The Vanished One said:
Since mr. Blakemore himself is here, I'll ask it again: what is Grimoire, besides an old school RPG? Why does it take so much time to develop?

It's the simplest question in the world to answer.

All people with Asperger's Syndrome have the same achilles heel in their character. It's universal to almost everybody with this condition.

When they're enthusiastic, they can hyperfocus on work like nobody else on the planet. If somebody with Asperger's is enjoying something, they can honestly do the work of ten men in timeframes that boggle the mind. Sounds like it's too good to be true.

Here comes the rest of the story.

Once a person with Asperger's gets bored or feels they have mastered something so thoroughly there are no discoveries left to make, they are far worse than merely lazy. They are practically inert. It's like trying to get a dying mule on it's feet.

Boredom is the Kryptonite to what seems like "super powers" that the Asperger sufferer is born with. In fact, if you examine their lives objectively and without bias, it probably all evens out to the same amount of work an ordinary man will do in his life. It is just that the Asperger's guy can do these spectacular manic bursts of productivity that no human being can ever hope to match. On the other hand, if you see them when they are bored, they are worse than useless.

My resume is a series of even/odd anecdotes like this. If you call one guy for a reference, he'll say "Cleve Blakemore is possibly the most brilliant computer programmer on Earth. That guy can code like a centipede with poison ivy. He did more work in his first two months at our company than all previous employees combined." Unfortunately, if you call the next guy, he will tell you, "Cleve Blakemore is the laziest and most shiftless individual that has ever appeared in the human gene pool. We were worried several times that his autonomous functions had come to a complete halt when we employed him and for this reason we permanently mounted a hand mirror under his chin at his desk so we could make certain he was still breathing from the condensation on the surface."

So ask yourself how you'd feel about working on a colossal game you had been plugging away at for ten years, rewritten almost completely like five times and totally redid the scenario at least once. For most ordinary people, completing the game would be a real miserable chore. For a person with Asperger's, it would be like forcing them to unicycle around in a circle in a white featureless room listening to Abba's greatest hits playing over and over again in an infinite cycle. It would be Asperger's Hell.

Wow, maybe I have aspergers, too.

So............

You'd finish Grimiore, but you don't have Asperger's so you can't?

EDIT: Or is it that you do have Asperger's so you can't?

So, how is the game coming along?

The truth, Aspy-style? It's drab and disappointing. So here goes.

In the past month, I have worked on two NPC scripts, fixed some startup bugs and did some editing of treasure groups. Still got at least 12 NPCs to finish up. If I work hard on them I can often do 1-2 in a single night, depending on the complexity of their interaction.

Oh, and I also put a progress bar in at the start of the game so people don't stare at the splash screen wondering if it has crashed.

You should bring someone else into th project to do some of the dog work. You can probably find a reliable kid and promise him a (very small) percentage of profits and get a lot of stuff done.

So Cleve, do you genuinely believe you're superior to pretty much everyone else? I'm just curious

I thought you said hyperbole was funny. Call a group of people subhuman is funny hyperbole, but calling someone a nazi isn't? Ok.

I find it ironic that a person with asburgers is calling us crazy for not knowing that he was joking about statements. Also I bet his assburgers help raised his beautiful children that everyone complements because that what people do in society that are normal. He can do the work of 10 men when he cares which I assume all goes into his children's asses when he fucks them everyday while his wife and him are at home all day. Early in the recent developments of this thread I felt like that the people calling cleve crazy were just trying to insult him but after reading his last few posts I understand that he really is bat shit insane.

Clevel is like irony incarnated.

I also want to point out that the inability to grasp hyperbole or satire is characteristic of children who failed to get enough oxygen at birth.
This would've made a great signature quote, but it made my sig too long. Someone else do it.
