Mathdino meet Panzer, Panzer meet Mathdino

I mean, Panzer has seemingly gone out of his way to shit on my opinions on things (almost always celebratory) in 3 different GD threads, and I'm fairly sure this has nothing to do with me outside of me providing more opinions to shit on.

I'm legit baffled that anyone cares enough about things outside of the mafia forums to get angry/toxic about almost every topic they participate in. On every other social medium, entering threads just to shit on people is ostracised/disliked/downvoted/shit-on or what have you.

And he continuously anti-nommed RC on account of RC being a toxic asshole (and apparently personally attacking people is fine in the title fairy thread but not okay in mafia games, whaddaya know) when BOTH of Panzer's titles are much more direct references to his personality?

Eh, I'm put off by it. He seems more interested in the battle than the result.

aaaaand that's presumptuous as fuck. I was really happy when Creature and BBMolla got their titles, I just didn't wanna come in here and be like HELL YEAH I DID IT GUYS.

Hey

Here's an idea

If you're not getting along

Ignore them

Instead of hitting back

This goes for both of you

And frankly everyone else

Negativity is a cycle

Here's a contest:

There are 2 doors. Door A and Door B.

Behind one of the doors is an unknown nobody who disagrees with you on something meaningless. If you confront them, you can change their mind with a logical argument.
Behind the other door is guaranteed agonizing death.
You are under no obligation to choose either door.

Which door do you choose?

...the one that isn't guaranteed agonising death?

What are you trying to say here?

The correct answer was no door at all

And I understand KK's point but that doesn't mean I agree with it.

Basicly its a trick question.
The point he's trying to establish is you would rather argue with someone then die.

However its actually kind of meaningless because the answer means nothing without a thought process when it comes to this question

I mean something something misleading question but like

I'm on this site because I enjoy the social setting of arguing with people I like about a topic that I like (other people). I browse the GD because I also like talking about things I like in a friendly atmosphere (pop music, relationships, memes, other people). I really don't think I'm alone in that.

If you're trying to get me to admit that I like arguing/talking about things then I would wonder why anyone would ever play mafia if they hated arguing.

so another example of not actually addressing anything at hand and making this personal about me or my character defects
got it

We can argue with people in games and chill with them in discussion, you don't need to agree with everyone and everyone isn't going to agree with you and that's fine. Not everything needs to be a fight, if Panzer's being an ass then either ignore him, tell him to piss off or just keep doing what you were previously doing. You made a good case for a title, it got enough support and Psyche is already started it's countdown so why shit up the thread arguiging with someone who doesn't like it. Panzers opinion here has zero impact, you've already gotten the title pushed through the process. Go think up a new one, spit ball about some of the other noms in the thread.

Do literally anything other then this.

On that note Panzer play nicely with the other children this is the title thread not Speezy, stay on topic.

Psyche stop being such a nice forgiving guy and sort your thread out.

Sure.

I've been mulling over how to title Ginngie for sheeping, because I think Ginngie's been, across the games I've played, the largest proponent of sheeping as a philosophy (like more than just a playstyle). Ginngie's gimmicks are basically:
- Sheeping as a philosophy
- Hammering everything (hammers are basically sheeping)
- Being consistently underestimated

So I was thinking of nominating but I looked that up and it turns out that was kind of insulting? I rarely hear the phrase IRL.

So I've been thinking for the last couple days of how to make it not weird/bad.

Any thoughts?

Edit: The idea was it's like, oh Ginngie the player people expected little of (due to her posting style and mostly staying in the background), sheeping to victory.

mathdino please ignore panzer

him disliking the title is actually an indicator that it is good

Uh, no. The point was that he'd risk death and choose a door instead of just letting it go and walking away because he can't resist arguing.

Buttons already made the main point that there is zero to gain convincing panzer about how super-fantastic the title is. But here we are. Mathdino needs to figure out when to walk away because this is getting redundant af.

I get paranoid every time someone anti-noms something that Psyche is gonna put it on the table for another 3 months while he continues working on his title bot tbh. It's more about convincing Psyche (and other users who don't have the context of playing mafia).

I guess I'm also trying to say that it seems to be more okay to go around shitting on people outside of the mafia forums than inside them. And I'm really not cool with discussions being turned into cesspools at the drop of a hat. Or, yknow, being personally attacked for random opinions.

But yeah. Dropping that. Psyche's thread, Psyche's rules.

I'm familiar with the colloquialism, and it doesn't fit.

no.

i mean i know it's a bad title as is (i was not actually nominating it)

i just think there's something out there along those 3 lines

I like for gin

Very cool and collected personality, plus it references the perpetual tie avvy

thoughts?

I know this isn't the point, but avatar based titles are bad.

It's because you take the bait consistently, don't feed the trolls as the old adage goes

That’s rare
