Is a slowly speaking Danforth a sign of a illegal DROD copy? I don't have a clue here, but I encountered problems with the sound, too (not exactly with Danforth, but rarely the music played twice or sometimes not at all) and I own a legal copy.

Well I can't speak for whoever did it, but I would do it because QFT is a doggone pointless thing to say.

(If you are talking about your own post, I again can't speak for whoever did it but I would do it partlybecause it's funny because it seems like you're talking about your own post but there's no edit so it's like wow, you must be psychic, and partly because asking why something had been downmodded is something I am weary of.)

Someone actually bothered to mod me down 2 for this (I was +1)?
I hate to sound unreasonable, but if someone's got an issue with me, let me know why. And yes, I do take mod points to heart. That's the point of them - to show agreement or respect towards another's sense of sarcasm/humour. Negative mods are there to represent strong disagreement.

If you disagree with any of my statements, let me know and we'll discuss. A mod down campaign with no backing is pathetic.

[EDIT]

And I see 13th Slayer has been hit with -2 from +1. I'm hoping to get a PM as to why...

Oh and yeah... Doggone? Is it?
Search for it on the forums and it seems to be rather popular amongst the old crew.

We got coppro, Mike, me and briareos using it. A -1 for a QFT post seems ridiculous to me hence my comment.

Um, on further thought, just out of curiosity, can someone explain to me how 13th Slayer having sound problems proves he's pirating TCB?

I mean, um, I'm pretty sure that we can use, um, his lack of CaravelNet to prove it, sure, but I don't think the sound issue does it.

-1 for a QFT post doesn't seem ridiculous to me. It's stupid and doesn't add anything to the discussion. Pointless sans les chiens.

And giving it a +1 seems ridiculous to me. Whoever did that can they please send me a PM giving a list of 10 reasons why.

(please don't pm me)

===

Heh, searching for QFT found this.

http://forum.caravelgames.com/viewtopic.php?TopicID=15787&page=0#184099

Also I wouldn't exactly say that Mike uses it - the two times he has were clearly satirical.

Well, I think playing a pirated game must be similar to watching pirated cable television? The reception isn't as good as it could be, and that also screws up the sound a bit.

We'll know for sure once he starts complaining about being unable to play rooms properly due to that snowstorm-tv-thing that I can't remember what it's called static.

Thankyou... I now know that I have been blessed by the representation of the most narrowminded repercussion of genetic malfunction chaos could possibly construe whilst hoping for an intelligence capable of irony. Some attempts could be described as catastrophic, but today I realise that the repercussions of your existence is distanced more than that of love and abhoration. Amoeba themselves feel proud as you walk amidst your clouded mind-numbing simplicity, the representation of that primordial resonance which humanity decided to ignore and thus developed into beings.

I would love to explain the satirical context in which my post was set, and furthermore associate that to the quote itself... but I shan't bother. Watching a startled deer, doe-eyed and having its first taste of the morning dew, only to be asphyxiated by the inner lining of a passing antelopes stomach would give me more pleasure than attempting to explain to you the merest of simples.

Mod me down more sir, for I shall live on knowing that I have indeed met the reason which makes my smallest thoughts, my proudest moments.

Yep. I laughed, which is very, very rare when reading forum posts. I wonder what the modding would have been like if it was Banjooie's posts

Note: All I'm saying is that I liked Syntax's post (although it was quite mean), and that Banjooie's posts tends to be modded quite genreously.

Actually, Baldrick's first initial is indeed S.

It's just that the S actually stands for "Sod off"

Seriously It was in Blackadder the Third.

Same here.

Also, I can't quite wrap my head around the fact that the guy who wrote it has English as his fifth (sixth?) language...

np: Underworld - TwoMonthsOff (AHundredDaysOff)

It doesn't, but he didn't know that.

Yes, in hindsight it was an arsehole thing to do, my sole defense being that I thought that this was on the general board for some reason. Which looking through the thread now, might as well have been.

Okay, cool.

Can someone explain this thing where threads are now about Syntax complaining about people modding him down?

I don't really get it ^_^;
