I wouldn't say that. It might be worth looking into though if the reviews don't actually say why it's bad, only that it is.

The best thing you can do is look at the product yourself and form your own opinions about it.

Here are all of his deleted posts on /tg/ made using his primary tripcode. He also posts under the tripcode names "chainmail sam" and "burnautism", as well as anonymously. He is mainly famous for starting bait threads, replying to his OP (with a different name), and then forgetting his ruse and posting information in replies that only the OP would have known.

If a game elicits a negative emotional reaction, that's an argument against it.
Or do you not understand how everything human is tied with out feeling?

Besides, the only way to get a good review is to go through reviewers and find those who seem to share your opinions and outlook. They aren't "right", but they will be a decent way to predict if you'll like something or not.

True, but all the months spent building up his "troll cred" have been wiped away. If he wants to incite rage by name alone in the future, he's going to have to start from scratch.

Because let's be honest. Taken on their own, individual virtposts (or virt-squirts, as I call them) aren't very bad. It's only because he worked so hard to shitpost in as many threads as possible that he's currently viewed as the most cancerous part of /tg/.

He was a turbofag, much like RMD. He was a tripfag who fagged on all of 4chan and had a superiority complex.

Eventually /tg/ was the first board to ban him, which caused Moot to descend from on high, congratulate us, then ask us to aid in a campaign to eradicate him.

Jim later went all over the internet complaining about how 4chan was a closeminded overly censored community that was just as bad as an Orwellian dictatorship and tried to control people's opinions.

Not really, I mean it prevents him from making more people angry.

That's like saying a serial killer wants to go to jail and that's why he's skinning all those prostitutes, instead of because the voices in his head are telling him to.

I mean, sure, sometimes people commit crimes to go to jail because their life outside sucks and hey, three square meals. But those crimes tend to be incredibly brazen one off things, not serial offences.

Gropey_the_clown is one. That tripfag is pretty based. Strayan Barbarian is pretty cool too, not going to lie, pretty bro tier.

I think the reason why people have such a knee jerk reaction to hate them is because the vast majority of name and tripfags are absolutely terrible.

Incentives for anonymous posting is literally what makes this format great.

If you are posting under a system in which personal fame is glorified, such the reddit or tumblr, you post things which you think as many people as possible will like, to get that karma, or likes, or follows, or upvotes, or whatever.

When you post anonymously, you are free to post how you really think. Now obviously this has some problems( See: /v/,) but I find it to be greatly preferable to the average circlejerk of posting for likes you find on other popular social media sites.

You still have that incentive in an anonymous format, as people naturally seek social approval, even if just momentarily.

Also, other communities still experience plenty of posting that goes against the community, and even substantial amounts of trolling.

To here people like you tell it, no one ever says anything that disagress with local consensus in other communities, and people never say things to fit in on 4chan, which is just flat out untrue, otherwise memes wouldn't propogate.

I can understand your thoughts on using tags. It's easy to post something while anon and use that as a way to avoid owning up to what you say or do. When someone puts on a name or trip, they have to own up to what they post. That in and of it self is kinda brave if you ask me.

So going anon and using name/trip both has it's positives and negatives.

Wait, what's the difference between tripcode and namefag?

>>42785480
You serious m8?

>>42785466
Exactly, to each their own!

>>42785370
Tripcoding for art is acceptable, because you have a reason to identify yourself. You probably shouldn't need a tripcode for art though, since your style should identify you enough.

>>42785480
Anyone can put on a name, but a tripcode is encrypted and thus slightly safer in terms of identification.

>>42785480
name, tripcode, date, time, post number
names they decide on
tripcode looks a bit like a hash

And so the newly-crowned tyrant beheaded the revolutionaries without trial. Except they were the revolutionaries that nobody really liked. And everyone generally agreed that maybe a bit of tyranny would be nice for a little while, just to see how it goes.

>>42785498
I'm fuckin serious mate.
Oh wait. google fu'd it. nevmind. sry guys

>>42785480
A tripcode is that little string of gibberish after "Anonymous" or a name. It basically works like a password because it's encrypted. Useful for making it difficult for others to impersonate you.
A namefag has a name.
A tripfag has a tripcode (And usually a name as well).

>>42785510
You'd think so, but I can't decide on a coherent art style/not enough confidence to make my own style.

>>42785510
One of my friends occcasionally gets yelled at for tripping in general threads after being told to trip when she would post art.

>>42785516
and anyone can just copy a name, making it less likely for someone to take you seriuosly

>>42785510
>thus slightly safer in terms of identification
I'd say more than slightly.

>>42785563

This is true

>>42785563
>>42785576
exactly

>>42785546
Even so, signature on your art is always a good idea

>>42785553
The trip should only be in relevant threads.
If you tripfag in an art thread, it shouldn't still be on when you post in a 4e thread or whatever.

>>42785573
Trips can be de-encrypted.
At least, the single-hash trips can.

>>42785099
sometimes trips are needed and good to use, but one of the big reasons for shunning name and trippfagging for no good reason in general is not so much that the majority are bad, but the culture rampant names and trips bring.

just like >>42785159 says, it creates circle jerks, for as many problems as the annominity culture can have, the circle jerking is one of the worse because it is SO hard to just freely enter as a newby and form your own opinions on matters. Look at how other image boards sometimes become when they develop a name and trip culture, 7chan in particular were real nasty in how they would hold up a few members on high for their contributions and any valid criticism is shot down and you can't say a single thing and be given any respect if you post without a name.

>>42785746
You don't need to understand English to see that virtualoptim is a shitposter.

>>42785803
I've seen circle jerking even with anons at times, so it's not fool proof.

>>42785733
Obviously he'll come back, using a new tripcode, likely with a phrase comprised of two words and/or names, but it won't have the immediate thread-derailing ability which he enjoyed in the past, at least for a while.

People will recognize him, but the namefield won't catch their eye right away, and so his ability to shitpost has been significantly diminished.

From virt's retarded tumblr blog

"Well, it would appear that I have been banned from /tg/ forever.

I could call my ISP and ask for a new IP, but I think it is better that I do not. I think this should be the end of virtualoptim.

It is fitting. 4chan has entered a new era with the admin transfer, and I think a lot is going to change on the website in the coming months.

I have other ways of posting on /tg/ (my college’s network) but I will no longer be posting from my store, or from home. And I will no longer be virtualoptim, nor will I be continuing my crusade of truth.

I have many personal projects, like any fa/tg/uy. I get adequate work done on them, but it will be nice to no longer have this distraction, so that I can get more done. This might sound like sour grapes, and perhaps it is. But maybe this is for the better.

I have been using /tg/ for more than 3 years. Virtualoptim was the culmination of a lot of distaste with the direction of gaming, in many ways. However, my message has been sent, and the reign of virt is thus over...

cont.

>>42785845
I'd agree if Virt's typing style wasn't incredibly recognizable in itself. He always posts exclusively one-line paragraphs, in large amounts, and he has keywords that are usually safe indicators of his presence. If I depended on those, I'd get false positives, perhaps, but if someone's typing one line paragraphs on 4chan they generally have nothing of interest to say anyway.

PS: One line paragraphs requires there to be more than one.

...Just remember that D&D Next, Dungeon World, Savage Worlds, Stars Without Number, Lady Blackbird, Burning Wheel, and Eclipse Phase are all terrible RPGs. I’m sure there are more (hell, Shadowrun comes to mind) but those are the worst.

Remember that Magic the Gathering has become pay to win, and that the game is being dumbed down with “unfun to play against” as the rallying buzz phrase, and if the invasion of BBT fan “nerds” is allowed to continue, the positivity circlejerk that is consuming us, will continue.

Remember that “the rule of cool” is the quickest way to turn a roleplaying campaign from an absorbing story, into a “lol randumb” circlejerk with no internal consistency. The kind of game that, if turned into a movie, would be called childish.

Remember that elves are good for nothing but death and slaughter.

Remember that RPG players who have children can and will destroy your group. Just watch them slowly drift away into their families, until scheduling around their hellish nightmarish lives becomes too great a strain on the group, and you are forced to drop them. Remember that having children is the best way to kill your RPG dreams forever. That is why I had a vasectomy at the age of twenty-three.

Remember that the Clone Wars and anything Star Wars related is pleb-tier hero’s-journey-shilling garbage. Although the Star Wars d20 RPG is pretty good.
Remember that quest threads are cancer.

Remember that special snowflakes, kender players, and brony/furry players are worthless and need to be excluded from our hobby.

Remember that hipsters need to be excluded from RPGs.

Remember that playing cross-gender characters means that 99% of the time that person is a terrible roleplayer.
