Well it did take about ~250 posts for him to admit it. I had no evidence to prove he was trolling before (never ascribe to malice..) but now.. we have his confession.

Indeed, he should now be reported to GOG for breaking their Code of Conduct.. but I'm not sure if it should be someone other than me that does it as I am not impartial..

The argument itself may not have ended, but the person who went "back and forth about that for this long" has stopped. jamotide set impossible conditions for proving him wrong, so there is no point continuing the argument.

The scary thing is that a lot of people have given up trying to be part of the solution because the problem isn't the rep system, it's the people abusing it.

Nice, now qouting me out of context, what cheap technique is next? I only said that to illustrate to you that people are likely to do stupid stuff if it doesnt take hours.


The full quote was:

"And no, just because someone invests 20 minutes to annoy someone, it does not logically follow that they would also invest 200 minutes to do it. Look, I invested 20 minutes in this thread to annoy you, but when it becomes 200 minutes maybe on page 120 or so, then you can call me crazy. So, don't back down, we can do it together!"

How does the context change the statement "I invested 20 minutes in this thread to annoy you"?

Oh so not understand that is really your defense for the use of these cheap tactics. Own goal really. Try to carefully read again, while keeping in mind rethorical techniques to illustrate points. Come on, you can do it!

You didn't say "Look, if I had invested 20 minutes", you said "Look, I invested 20 minutes".

So you said:

"Just because I have invested 20 minutes to annoy you so far, doesn't mean I would invest 200 minutes to annoy you".

EDIT: Fixed misquote.

"Well....I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 hundred more..."

Ok thanks for correcting me again. Next time I'll be sure to get my "if"s in properly to preempt any insults. Just like I falsely said hours instead of accounts once and promptly got accused of changing the issue. Congratulations, you are the master posting disector.
You are still wrong about your crazy theory,though, no matter what a terrible person I am.

Cheap tactics like this?

When you have something you can take to be support for you:

But when people actually speak out against you?

So if they support you, they are sane, reasonable people!
But if they support me, they are sycophant forum buttbuddies!

Can I still be a test subject?

If so, am I going to be paid for it?

I was not able to read the whole topic (only until my page 15/20) but got tired.

Well, at least I don't have to pay to be a test subject.

BTW, will this track the rep I had at a certain day and certain time or just at a certain day?

If you will include the time, which Time Zone would you use, local or a default one?

Has you notice any side effects on any of the other test subjects?

Well, those are all the questions I have, so far. Maybe I will have more doubts later.

Yes well done, you are really good at picking out quotes to insult someones persona.

Now how about just admitting it is extremely unlikely, that someone would make 100 accounts to shave points of pointless rep when it can be done with 5 to 10 accounts?

Bleh, forum just ate this post. Retyping..

I pay attention. It is not my fault if you do not.

People can decide for themselves if they think it was just a "mistyping" (right after I had called you up on it before..) or an admission of trolling. Considering that you called it "fun":

.. makes me believe it wasn't a mistyping and you were trolling.

You're not a terrible person, as far as I know. I don't hold a high opinion of you, that's for sure, but you actually have to harm other people or advocate harm to be "terrible" in my book.
It is unlikely. I never said it wasn't ..?

Come on, this is really shameful,even for you. Now you imply that me having fun with this conversation makes me a troll? Why would you insult me like that.
Don't you have fun here, why would anyone even post here this much if it is not fun? This is a game site after all.I come here for fun.

FFS guys, stop it -.-

I refuse to speak with you any further on the grounds that you do not read what I write.

Yup. As long as you post in this topic, your rep will be logged.

No. I don't have that much money (unfortunately).

Milk, cookies and a bed are available to those who have read any significant portion of the thread.

The script downloads the topic and extracts each users rep at 15 minute intervals so the recording starts at the first interval after you post.

All data is recorded against UTC to allow for easy conversion to any timezone.

Yes. An invesigation of this is in progress as it seems to be a unique reaction.

Hope that answers all your questions :)
