Yeah I remember that, too. As I recall he was basically ignored. Apparently more attention was required. :sleepy:

Edit: Wow, nearly every post on the first page of his "View All Posts" has AH's name in it. Stalker? |

I knew I shouldn't have bothered reading this thread.
AH, ignore him. Really. ;) |

The oh so sad thing is that he will never show his face again or actually take responsibility for the complete idiocy he has unleashed.

Yeah, AH and him both got in a hissy fit and started having a go at each other. |

My God, man, have you... I mean, surely you haven't... well... where should I send the flowers and sympathy cards, then? |

It looks like three people have voted Shake in as The New God. Assuming Shake himself is one, who are the other two? Come on, you can admit it... we'd never hurt you...

I've had my laugh of the day. Thank you, Master Shake. You brought the funny.

Very doubtful, considering his posting history. |

Is it just me, or did anyone else have the horrible image of Master Shake, Frylock, and Meatwad controlling the Shadowrun Universe... :grinbig: :rotfl: :grinbig:

I didn't read the title very closely when I clicked on the thread, so I thought it was about modelling a character off of Shake at first.

My first thought was to start bobbing my head to a mental playback of the theme.
I watch that damn show too much. |

If that happened I would vote to start a fund to pay for real shadowrunners to pay a visit to the head of a small game company....

So who said the people on Dumpshock can never agree on anything?

Christ.
Do us a favor, Shake, and pull your bottom lip up and over 'till you've swallowed your head. |

Rob has been doing a damn fine job as it is. :nuyen:
Oh, don't bash MasterShake, he seems like he wants the best for SR. His best just isn't the best that is the best. Did that make sense? :? I voted Or. |

It is absolutely clear that MS has a lot of passion for the SR universe and wants it to be a spectacular success. Kudos and more power to him.
I personally applaud the courage it took to post this stuff when he knows there are a lot of very opinionated and knowledgeable people on this board, as long as he didn't have to get drunk to do it. I fault him only on the language of his delivery (Godhood? Over the top to say the least) and a relatively unrealistic view of salaries. Everyone has their opinions, and they are entitled to them. No one has to agree unless they want to. On the plus side, everyone can run the mood of their game how they want. I like street level and relatively low power, others prefer elite and world altering. Some like Robin Hooding, others prefer playing criminals at best and sociopaths at worst. Shadowrun has more than enough room for everyone to do what they want in all the colors of the rainbow. The rules, while deep and complex at times, are only there for us to use as we see fit. I take a lot of pleasure out of using the rules as they are written and figuring out the logic behind them, others may see them as too complex and want to simplify them. Fine. There is no gaming cop that is going to stop me or you from doing what we want in the privacy of our own homes as it applies to Shadowrun. (Cons and sponsored events are a totally different story and should be dealt with in another topic if at all). While I disagree with MS about the conclusions he has drawn about the universe needing new atmosphere and the job the line developer is doing, I fully support his right to say it. And I fully support his right to run his games however the heck he wants, with whatever alterations to rules he wants, and with whomever is willing to play with him. I would love to hear MS's response to this thread's posts and I hope he is not completely turned off of DS by the negativity towards him personally. Perhaps I am too empathetic to MS than is deserved, especially if his intent was to start a flame war or just get some attention, but my impression is that he anticipated more support at least of the moral support variety that he recieved. Maybe next time his initial post will not be as inflamatory. |
