    You've made some comments that indicate English might be your second language, but you also seem rather well spoken anyway. So, I'll just ask instead of assuming one way or the other. You know what gaslighting is, right?

    Wow... just... what? I don't even know what the conversation that started that was, but I can tell just from how wordy it is and the kinds of terms they're using that this is just a shockingly bad attempt at gaslighting.

    I have absolutely no idea what his obsession is over me being wrong about things. It's completely unhealthy. I just say some common sense things, but people like him who are terminally online are not aware of, and I try to show him why, no, he's actually wrong about that. He thinks that's me...

    I am absolutely quoting that post the next time he starts popping off. I am actually rubbing my hands together for the opportunity to throw that exact post back at him. I can seriously not believe it. It's the old addage in action. If you give a fool enough rope, they'll hang themselves with it...

    My jaw literally hit the floor when I saw that. I was flabberghasted anyone could be that dillusional to think those screenshots were actually helping his case on any level. If anything, those screenshots were the absolute most self-incriminating thing I'd ever seen.

    Even with those responses from me, some psychotic thing in him still thought he needed to post some kind of proof. My stance on that was basically *eyeroll* "Alright, whatever. Don't know why you want to, but sure." Then, he actually posts it, and it's me freaking trying to help him trouble...

    When he was talking about how I was rude to him in the past, I'm like, "hey, yeah, I believe it. I'm rude to people who are rude to me. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if I was rude." When he said I was wrong in the past, I was also of the opinion he'd probably be completely right about...

    I am actually incredibly happy with how that thread turned out, and it's not for the reason a lot of people might think. Sirius Gabel, the one stirring up most of the drama in there, managed to get in a post right before the thread was locked that revealed him as being completely deranged.

    I'm playing around with some concepts and I'd like to hear some options on them

    Right. I think I'm just going to say the truism. Any concept is good if it's well implemented. When Mushoku Tensei was written, literally every single thing in it's base setting from the power system to the adventurer guilds to the world setting to the magic to the world political structure had...

    Parahuman

    Backdraw was never the point of this game. It was about creating a parahumans-univers parahuman. The 1st one's the power acquisition conditions. Specify the source of their power, the over-arching concept that the power comes from, and then the trauma event that drives the interpretation of...

    Parahuman

    Correction. You've almost done that. It needs 1 more thing. I think we can use "Corrupt a Wish" as a model for this one. You evaluate the parahuman power above you, and then after you've done the evaluation you add your own power to be evaluated. Since you haven't done that part, I think I'll...

    Parahuman

    Yeah, it would need to be something a little more fast-paced. People tend to have the most fun when they are being creative about things. As such, the best role is the person who comes up with the power that's being considered. You don't want a game where someone can snatch that role away from...

    Are there any red birds besides the phoenix and the vermillon bird?

    A thought just occurred to me. I think the fire bird has properties to it's story that indicate it's a less abstract version of the phoenix. The phoenix abstractly represents how a new civilization can rise from the ashes of a failed government in the way it is reborn from it's own ashes after...

    Writing Prompt Why Am I the Protagonist?

    Rate they're going though, I don't think they're going to be able to afford to pull such things for very much longer. They've successfully managed to self-sabotage literally every single line of profit they have while massively overspending on IP. And judging by the disasters their famously...

    Are there any red birds besides the phoenix and the vermillon bird?

    There is the fire bird. Literally just called "the fire bird," from Slavic lore. It can be caught by a hunter and kept in a cage for a noteworthy period of time. That said, it's also the one thing that can actually threaten Baba Yaga, so it's power scale is actually a little all over the place.

    Parahuman

    I was able to follow it, but I still think it's a massively bad idea to have it this complicated. Maybe 3 people on the entire forum will be able to participate in this game, and I'm not included in that number, because while I'm able to follow the explanation I fail to see the fun in a "game"...

    Writing Prompt Why Am I the Protagonist?

    Interesting idea, but doomed to failure. The Tolkein estate is famously letigious and protective of their copyright, this will be DMCAed into non-existence in no-time flat if anyone were to try to write this concept.
