So, i’ve been playing the game part of Forumwarz for some time now, and i’ve noticed a pattern. When pwning a forum, while most responses are pertinent and relative, some repeat over forums. Ones like

**** you

No, YOUR @relative

Stop posting

I’m not even going to dignify that with a response. EDIT: @ expletive!

I don’t see the purpose of these, other than filler. And judging by forumbuildr, they don’t especially NEED filler. I mean, cmon’, they’re not even funny. Humor is something I need when i decide to play the game aspect of this game, and these just make it feel even more boring to play. It could be I’m confused and these only show up in specific forums or something, but if not, i would rather not see them. It’s just a little weird seeing someone in Alliance of the Apathetic say **** YOU or see someone in Fran is Fat not making a fat joke. If it’s like an impossible edit or they DO have some relevance, then I can deal, but i just don;t see the point of nonsense responses.


TL;DR: I hate generic forum responses.

Some people find “**** YOU” to be very funny, actually.

Certainly not yours truly, but it’s loads of laughs to a certain age group.

I know, this was pretty much what happened until the huge update. After speed runs died out, i figured i might as well see what goes into the game portion, since i had extra time.

We’re sort of phasing them out. Episode 3 forums won’t have any generic responses, for example.

At the same time, I’ve also asked the creative team/forumbuildr elites to create more new ones, because I realize they can be tiresome and repetitive.

I think they do have their place, but maybe not in every forum.

Wow. Well that’s pretty awesome. I guess this thread has no purpose then.

If you realized the creative team/forumbuildr elites were tiresome and repetitive, why did you ask them to create new generic responses?

Dangling participles FTW!

Pretty hard to take this poll seriously when you PUT comedy option there and, judging by the fact it has the most votes, im not the only one who thinks this.

Right from the moment when I saw Saw, I laughed.

Honestly, I don’t think that’s a dangling participle. Doesn’t it need to end in a preposition? I mean, as far as I know of.

Generic responses like that really interrupt my sense of immersion.
