- Bitch is an actual word... it's not always an insult. For example, in the dictionary, "Bitch" is (1) a female dog , or (2) a woman. Personally, the word "Bitch" when referred to a woman isn't an insult. It's a woman who stands up for herself and takes no crap, as well as knowing what she wants in life. Those're most often the women who are called bitches. And if you find that feminist, too bad, I'm kinda like that. So when people call me a bitch, I just laugh.

- I find my title quite entertaining, as well as most of the titles on this board. Now if the word "f*ck" was used.. then I might be slightly offended.

- But if we're going to switch to a new system... obviously I want an "Angel" like class. And since going up through the 9 orders of Angels in Angelology (Angel -> Archangel -> ... -> Cherubim -> Seraphim) would get old quick... I really am hooked on this one boss name from Shadow Hearts, called Seraphic Radiance . I'd like that to be my title. =T

if you think thats offensive then my only advice to you is emulate an ostrich and put your head in the sand

???

Um, right back at ya. I believe you were the one who originally brought up the idea of removing things because they were offensive.

Quote:
If you'll go back and read my post a bit more thoroughly you'll see I didn't say I found them enjoyable

Actually, no, you said you "see the humor" which does not imply that you did NOT find them enjoyable. In fact, I find that when I myself "see the humor" I actually do enjoy it. Either you get the joke, or you don't. If you didn't find them enjoyable, then, I don't think you really can say you "see the humor."

Quote:
I can see how immature people can find such barn-yard humor amusing

Ah, the old "I'm ABOVE that kind of humor" route. High brow humor only for this one. Very bourgeois.

Quote:
I hope you're not advocating the use of, for example, racial slurs. [...] I think you'd agree that they have no place on a forum of this nature

Racial slurs have a place in this forum if there is actually someone here who thinks they are an alright (or worse yet necessary) thing to use. Fortunately, there is no one here who feels that way.

If there was, I would be "offended" only by the mindset of the person who feels that racial slurs should be communicated, but not by the actual words themselves. Words don't mean anything without people standing behind them.

And in this case, the meaning by the words is quite clearly not offensive but jovial.

Quote:
I don't think it at all inconceivable that a person should find something at once amusing and offensive.

Actually, I dont find it inconceivable either. After all, I thought BigManJones felt that way.

But, I also don't find it admirable. There's quite a distinction there.

Please, can we end the offensive or not and humor or not discussion here? In my opinion it's quite pointless (or at least going too far), and I hope people will agree.

Current status:

Short term: current titles stay
Long term: replace with class system

If somebody with an English tongue or someone better taught in the naming of ranks of people in a specific class could help me out, that would be very much appreciated. BTW Tenshi, I like your idea of an Angel class. If the angelology angels are too standard, try thinking of more "humorous" ones like Cupido or Holy Bean for the lower levels.

bah, too bad I no longer have my dicatatorship....All shall bow! bwahahaha. Anyway, I think the current system adds a sort of personality to the forum...it definately sticks out, no? I mean, If you went to X Rpg-style forum, most likely you'll start off as a "peseant" or some other lowly class, move up through the ranks of warrior, wizard, blah blah blah.

Here, you know you've been around if you reach "stephen hawking". That sure beats the hell out of "Grand Wizard Deity" blah blah blah in my book.

Its true that nowadays 'bitch' is a pretty common word; even somewhat acceptable in everyday usage. But my question is; would you use this word with you wife? Why should I have to read it here?

My wife's name on these forum is Moira. If you notice, you can also become her bitch. I use ti around her all the time, and she calls me her bitch puppet constantly. It's fun. Etertaining. back in teh day, I would say "like it or shove off, monky for brains!"....but now, I am humbled because I no longer own this peice of interent property. sigh.

Another consideration could be this; Bjorn has put a tremendous amount of work into this site


and so have I.

Quote:

I like the class and leveling up system Bjorn mentioned. This is an rpg dev formu after all.




yes it is. it's also full o'my bitches. yo yo yo yo.

Hmm, I thought such a class system would be original... then again, this is the only RPG forum I ever visit and have ever visited...

If you mean where we each choose a class, in then we go up in levels according to rank, changing class....then yes, that is original. If you mean everyone starts as peseant and then we move up in ranks named after RPG classes, then no, it's not.

Actual a class choosing system is kinda cool....I think zoggles was planning on doing that in the next pixel zone.

- That's what I kind of figured he meant, hence why my post said "I would like an 'Angel' Class", but I'd get bored of moving up through reach of the different rungs on the Angeology ladder, since I'm hooked on this one title "Seraphic Radiance". THe actual boss wasn't all that cool (that game had some rather f*ed up monsters in it, personally... I watched my girlfriend go through a large portion of that game), but the name... O.o

- A system where everyone gets to choose their own class and 'level up' through it is very easy to implement. =)

Hey, you left out all the crazy ones. Personally, I want my avatar to be a "princedom".

Heh, I just saw that. That's hilarious.

I like the idea of different classes, too, but it seems like a lot of work. I'd be willing to help out in whatever way you'd like, though.

I had a stupid idea. Why not have a word combination system. Like, the more posts you make, the more words you earn, and you can combine them to make your title. For example:

at 10 posts you earn troll
at 50 posts you earn knight
at 75 posts you earn darkness

now you can be "darkness knight" if you want, or maybe knight troll.

It's stupid since it's more trouble than it's worth.

I don't think it really matters how the titles work though, but the current system is a little offputting.

You're all just a bunch of whiny little bitches. Some should just bitchslap your whiny bitch-asses.

I'm completely and sincerely unapologetic for that statement. It was a joke, only a joke, plus a lot of you do in fact whine a lot, so, you know, it was justified anyways. :)

So hey, look, I'm back. And all kinds of crazy shit like that, even. Also, if anyone even contemplates touching the current titlesystem for this board, I shall be forced to open the can of godlike asskicking. Seriously. In its current incarnation, this board's title system is the epitome of subtle humor and anyone who mistakenly believes otherwise can sit down and shut up :)
