Away Team Mission: Principia Discordia Forum - Page 11

Undertoad · 02-04-2009, 08:07 AM

True control freaks would have just banned everybody.

I'm going back in. The idea is to ignore unfriendly/indirect statements completely and stay in character.

Do not be baited in any way.

right!

lumberjim · 02-04-2009, 08:12 AM

bruce, avatars and signatures can be disabled in each users profile prefs. its a lot cleaner that way and more SFW

classicman · 02-04-2009, 08:31 AM

lumberjim · 02-04-2009, 08:35 AM

zippyt · 02-04-2009, 08:50 AM

Shawnee123 · 02-04-2009, 09:00 AM

Srsly how is this baiting? It is a real word with a hyphen, it was supposed to be funny. I never said anything personal or insulting and I was not baiting anyone. I know how to flame and bait and I am good at it but I have not done that on a forum in years. Time for a humor check to see if that culture even has a sense of humor.

well. let's have another go, but read this first:

Trust me, we've been mass-banned from plenty of forums, and it's EASY to have a Safari degenerate into insults... after all, you're invading another place, with regulars who will quip and wisecrack at you, and it seems like they're attacking but if you do it RIGHT you can stay in character, smooth it over, start picking up on their humor, and stick around... maybe even make friends.

It's the Safari, as an invasion, who has to play it cool. That's what makes the whole concept fun.

You want to troll? Troll. But if you're going to miss the whole point of the Safari concept, why even bother?

It was really just the baited comments of two of the boarding crew members that made the whole thing go to shit, and IME it would have happened anywhere... negotiating an expedition without incident takes diplomacy.

Sounds very much like a ST TOS to me, we come in peace, shoot to kill.

I was going to be Scotty esque, but apparently there isn't a Spock, so if I ever get chance to work up a character I'll do that.

The posts that they're most pissed off about seem to be some of the funniest ones, by our standards ...

They also seem to curse a lot more than we do here.

Is this how Brits feel when they come to America for a visit?
