Maybe parts of Spain, Greece? Is it the best nature on earth??

As you should be able to see, I started my post with a variant of the "Did Vaush just BTFO" copypasta (!soyteens you should recognize this), which was changed to be about Byron Hall, the creator of the infamous rpg FATAL, responding to a very critical review of his game. Byron's response did not disprove every claim in the review, but for the purposes of bait, I pretended that it did. Here is the copypasta I created:

Did Byron Hall just BTFO all of rpg.net's moralstrag arguments?

>https://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/FATALReviewRebuttal

>Points out that Darren refuses to offer counter evidence against FATAL being difficult and complex; indeed, Darren also admits the game is difficult and complex as part of his "criticism"

>Points out that boss monsters such as Cerberus are still possible in FATAL

>Explains the origin of "where the dice never lie"

>Explains that Darren is overgeneralizing all of FATAL's possible gameplay when he calls FATAL the "date r*pe rpg"

>Points out that Jason's responses are more juvenile than the language used in FATAL

>Explains that FATAL has potential for much more varied gameplay than Vampire, and has more realistic combat too

>Explains that concepts like ether and physiognomy do not have to be accepted by the author of a role-playing game to write about them, just as a designer of a game with magic does not have to believe in real-world magic

>Explains that a woman can be nearly any class in the game, rather than only a prostitute as the reviewers claim

>Explains that FATAL's averaging rolling method emulates the normal distribution of real-world stats more accurately than games which use a single flat roll

>Explains that the standard deviation of intelligence scores is different between men and women, but changing the standard deviation does not require changing the mean

Where is YOUR evidence to back up your ridiculus claims about FATAL being the worst RPG? By all means, read the entire rebuttal, i promise you that you can't debunk it.

>inb4 I get told to shut the frick up by someone who hasn't read the review and is triggered

>inb4 someone posts the anal circumference chart without context as an "argument" and without an analysis of WHY Hall included it in his game

>inb4 someone uses anecdotal evidence

>inb4 someone says 5E is better

>inb4 someone defends Sartin & Mclellan's safe edgy humor

>inb4 someone links to 1d4chan

As you can see, this copypasta should be immediately recognizable as bait since it omits important information that was stated during the review, is a modified form of an already existing copypasta, indirectly defends one of the worst RPGs without directly praising any mechanics less generic than dice rolling, arguably lies about every claim being disproven, has intentional errors and, most importantly for both this copypasta which I created, and the original "Did X just BTFO" copypasta, It lists valid arguments in the inb4 section to prevent people from using said valid arguments. The copypasta also has 2 intentional errors which only users who care a lot about detail would notice, which are that I said "just BTFO" to preserve the original copypasta's title even though the rebuttal was made decades ago, and that I said ">inb4 someone links to 1d4chan" even though 1d6chan exists and 1d4chan is down, since many 4chan olds dislike 1d6chan removing content that violated miraheze's TOS, however in hindsight it would likely have been a better idea to reference 1d6chan for additional possible replies.

To give /tg/ credit, one poster immediately accused me of being a "contrarianist troll", but this didn't kill the thread:

https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/94402739/#q94403061

Nice baby's first contrarianist troll, but the game's only relevant worth is being a subject of mockery, plain and simple. And I can summarize why with one single sentence: When the simple act of making a character and playing the game is such an unbearably boring waste of time, then that alone is enough to condemn any game even before you get to the r-slurred and the shitty charts. Cause at least the autism in fricking GURPs serves some kind of purpose. FATAL is just unpleasant as a whole.

This reply would be expected when posting bait on 4chan, however the poster also included an anime reaction image, which may depict a character from 40k, but it is unofficial fanart outside of the style of the game. Another user called out this act of extreme oldery:

https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/94402739/#94406623

Consider the following!

anime reddit meme reaction image

No point of substance, just bitching about not liking character creation

2 other users replied back, one of them saying that 40k is board culture, however the user who replied replies again, dropping an off-topic about anime reaction images:

https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/94402739/#94407438

That's not 40k, it's some gay little anime fan image of 40k. Stop being disingenuous and misrepresenting your arguments to worm out of them.

Furthermore, you've yet to present any arguments that aren't complaining about your own personal preferences

This didn't seem to discourage other users from replying to me, Another user accuses me of being Virtualoptim, a namestrag best known for this image:

Another reply which I partially expected due to my inclusion of ">inb4 someone defends Sartin & Mclellan's safe edgy humor" was a response stating that Sartin & Mclellan's humor would have been considered extremely offensive, given that rpg.net underwent a similar transformation to somethingawful (in this case, rpgcodex is the obligatory SASS equivalent)

rpg.net btfo'd themselves. The cute twinks who did this review turned out to be total cute twinks themselves and if someone else were to post stuff like this in present day they'd have a meltdown over it and ban them forever.

I did try to interact with the thread to keep up the pretense of my bait, however this was unsuccessful. First, when another user (https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/94402739/#q94403095) said that the game can't calculate swing force, I immediately remembered that one of the only non-horrible combat mechanics was fulcrum range, which actually does calculate swing force, and replied stating the page number on the online pdf of the rules I had used a search function to find fulcrum range in. Unfortunately, the user I responded to was using a different pdf of the rulebook, and did not find fulcrum range on that page. Secondly, I tried to reply to a user stating that everyone who has played FATAL has hated it by linking to a Kiwifarms letsplay of the game, which I found from this post: https://rdrama.net/h/traditionalgames/post/315746/fatal-and-kiwifarms-a-match-made, but I was banned from all of 4chan for 13 days since my post contained banned text (likely the kiwifarms link). This prevented me from correcting the error made by the user who could not find fulcrum range

The rest of the thread is relatively boring, but some users seem to be unironically defending FATAL as a response to users who responded to my bait, and one user, or potentially a collection of users, began rolling up a character just to prove how bad the character creation system is.

The thread theme, often described as sounding like "Cookie Monster chasing a drum set down a stairwell" is the greatest thing to come from the worst role-playing game ever.

The authorities are investigating the origin of a large object that fell to the ground on the outskirts of one of Poland’s largest cities.

They need to be hexed with 9001 Friedmans.

When Trump pulls this off, and the US is wildly, rich and wealthy again; unlike anything anyone alive has seen in over 100 years, it will be undeniable to even the most radical leftist that Trump's policies have been an overwhelming success for the United States, and he will earn his place on Mount Rushmore and as one of the greatest presidents in American history.

It sounds very reasonable but then some butthole who doesn't believe in Jesus/is a communist shows up.

don't get how it makes us rich. We import something like $3T of goods every year. Even if we somehow collected 100% of that, it wouldn't cover half of our spending

Mandatory spending was $3t in FY24, $2.1t was gibs for the elderly.

A king comes to the rescue explaining that daddy will be reducing waste

How do you not understand that Trump is going to cut all our wasteful spending and shrink the size of the government to historic lows?

If we cut the arms and legs off the old people we have a smaller volume of old people so can pay them less.

For those counting it would also take 12 years with zero spending to pay off the debt.

Or just abolish the IRS/completely strip funding, fire everyone.

This is called impoundment and was the subject of his first impeachment. Congress has the enumerated power to spend not POTUS, POTUS can't just decide he doesn't like what they want to spend on and reverse it.

Literally. Communism is 100% tax, I.e. 100% slave. We're about 50-60% of the way there.

Average effective rate is 16.4% but carry-on.

Don't forget property taxes. I'd like to see property taxes held at a certain rate that will not increase. People need to be able to budget their money without the government randomly raising taxes that could eventually force you out of your home.

Others paying for services for you sounds an awful lot like socialism to me.

We'll replace China as the number 1 exporter in both products AND oil/energy production and exports.

Also, it is as though the jeering lefties are unaware of the first hundred plus years of US history. NO income tax, tariffs galore, and they were a successful country.

I wonder what else lasted approximately a century?

recently I read a whore justify herself with evolution, and learned that the peepee displaces other men's c*m because we're born for free love. We're whores at heart, every womyn was a frick machine until fundies put us everywhere in chains.

This is based on a few studies, here's one

Results obtained by modifying an artificial peepee suggest that the coronal ridge is an important morphological feature mediating semen displacement...

basically they made fleshlights and tested how well the plastic peepee removed semen from the tube. that's the kind of hands-on science we know and love

but think about it, does semen really stay in there long enough that "displacing" after has a huge advantage? Certainly it's useful, but how much? insemination happens pretty quickly so the lingering sperm probably isn't going to inseminate her if the ejaculation didn't. And even then the rest is fully removed in five days. So either everyone was having Aella gangbangs, the returns are diminishing, or perhaps there's an alternative explanation.

The ones I found were "Structural Integrity" and "Pleiotropy" but those are anti-climactic

With the help of my friends, I've erected a fourth, and final, theory.

The blood plunger

BLOOD is a bigger barrier to insemination than sperm I think. Since we've not always had lovey-dovey foreplay for some enjoyable, LUBRICATED s*x, I imagine vaginal trauma was more common. I.e.

After all, what big "sexual ingredient" isn't necessary at all for impregnation?

That's right, the female orgasm.

Now look, I'm not exactly happy with this conclusion, I'm not an incel I have female friends, r*pe is bad.

But I do believe I'm onto something here for a PURELY MECHANICAL QUESTION without any ethical extensions.

A question posed and answered in the spirit of Die fröhliche Wissenschaft

In short, the blood produced during s*x would prevent or severely inhibit insemination, and the peepee plunges it out.

Have I convinced you?

Now I'm not a scientist, but I do know the contact information for the real scientists who've published the original studies, and I drafted the following:

I honestly just want to bounce this idea off you guys and get some help with the draft. how well would an academic receive this

hikaru fails to win and gukesh refuses to win. after 3 draws, their 2nd tiebreaker is going on

edit: gukesh is victorious, in their bid to not win a match. (he lost if you are neurodivergent)

back to the main highlight, world no 2 caruana vs no. 31 sindarov

neighbor caruana accepts draw in a totally winning position and when i say total, totally. -5.3 on the eval bar winning. maybe the reason was he had a min on the clock and sindarov had whopping 24. whatever is the uzbeck version of voodoo, its working

they then had a nailbiting tiebreaker - that was a draw too and are currently playing their 2nd one. sindy will win it!

Ben Shapiro got jealous and dropped Brett from her channel "The Comments Section with Brett Cooper" as she became more and more successful

Her !besties and her Producer backstabbed her and took over the channel!!

Now the channel is in shambles and Subscriber count dropping daily from 4.5Mil highest to 4Mil now

Even with 4 MILLION Subscribers the new BACKSTABBER'S videos don't even cross 100K! They at best cross 50K if lucky

Her Stantup was also SOLD OUT and was a SUPER DUPER HIT

Week 17 this is what the playoffs are looking like via NFL

Finally for those keeping track, here's a excel spreadsheet I've been using to track gambling wins/losses. Column A has the winner of their matchup (listed in the same order I list them for this thread, B is the gross Payout , C needs to be filled with a 1 if you won that bet, and a 0 if you lost. So it will be easy to track your weekly and seasonal gains/losses. Prior threads: week 1, week 2, week 3, week 4, week 5, week 6, week 7, week 8, week 9, week 10, week 11, week 12, week 13, week 14, week 15, week 16

Powell, believing that he no longer faced execution due to double jeopardy, then wrote an abusive letter to the prosecutor and admitted that he attempted to r*pe Stacie and boasted about his crimes in detail, among several other taunting or threatening letters he sent to the victims' family. The letter to the prosecutor read, in part: "Since I have already been indicted on first degree murder and the Va. Supreme Court said that I can't be charged with capital murder again, I figured I would tell you the rest of what happened on Jan. 29, 1999 to show you how stupid all of y'all . . . are". He detailed how he told Stacie she could "do it the easy way or the hard way" and how she continued to resist him. He then stabbed her and stomped on her neck until she stopped breathing. "I guess I forgot to mention these events when I was being questioned. Ha Ha! ... Do you just hate yourself for being so stupid and for frickin' up and saving me?"

In fact, the principle of double jeopardy did not apply, since although his capital murder verdict had been vacated, he had not been acquitted of the criminal charge and was still eligible to be retried for first degree murder. Using the letter that Powell wrote, prosecutors indicted Powell again for the attempted r*pe and murder of Stacie Reed. Powell was once again convicted and was sentenced to death.
