But Freemanuncg does have The Count as his avatar. That has to give him necromancy points or count as a contribution.

EDIT: Well, bad analogy. Just wanted to make an aside of what he said, didn't mean it to be mean about those relying on it.

I'll just leave this here.

Is it not astonishing that while Ptolemaios Philopator was alive and did not need such assistance, these two kings were ready with offers of aid, but that as soon as he was dead, leaving his heir a mere child, whose kingdom they were bound by the ties of nature to have defended, they then egged each other on to adopt the policy of partitioning the boy's kingdom between themselves, and getting rid entirely of the heir; and that too without putting forward any decent pretext to cover their iniquity, but acting so shamelessly, and so like beasts of prey, that one can only compare their habits to those ascribed to fishes, among which, though they may be of the same species, the destruction of the smaller is the food and sustenance of the larger. This treaty of theirs shows, as though in a mirror, the impiety to heaven and cruelty to man of these two kings, as well as their unbounded ambition. However, if a man were disposed to find fault with Tyche for her administration of human affairs, he might fairly become reconciled to her in this case; for she brought upon those monarchs the punishment they so well deserved, and by the signal example she made of them taught posterity a lesson in righteousness. For while they were engaged in acts of treachery against each other, and in dismembering the child's kingdom in their own interests, she alerted the Romans to their deeds, and the very measures which they had lawlessly designed against another, she justly and properly carried out against them.

For both of them, being promptly beaten in the field, were not only prevented from gratifying their desire for the dominions of another, but were themselves made tributary and forced to obey orders from Rome. Finally, within a very short time Tyche restored the kingdom of Ptolemaios to prosperity; while as to the dynasties and successors of these two monarchs, she either utterly abolished and destroyed them, or involved them in misfortunes which were little short of that...

I don't have any idea what sort of forum drama you guys are talking about, so go ahead and read the rest of this post with that disclaimer, I'm sure that it is gravely serious.

But to compare it to conflicts where there was an actual cost in human life (like healthcare), well I understand the point y'all are making regarding immaturity, but at the same time I think that considering the grand scale of this sort of metaphor it probably does more to validate said drama than it does to discredit it. Instead of being simply a group of human beings using computers to perpetuate petty bickering you make it out as though these actions are significant and that they carry weight, when in fact they do not.

But again, I know nothing, and only wanted to make a point regarding how we view and deal with drama as a collective internet community.

 

[North King]

Oh noez this community interacts entirely through computers that means its completely not real.

Of course it's silly drama, but there's no need to get so serious. It's a forum! We can complain about forum drama here! Otherwise it would not serve its function as a forum!

 

[Luckymoose]

Internet drama is serious business.

[qoou]

I don't quite see what the point of drama in general is. Why get offended? Why can't we all be friends ?

 

[Ninja Dude]

I don't even know what you guys are talking about.

 

[Kozmos]

Drama makes the world interesting.
