Well it is nice to have another member of the EGF family. I am sure you will enjoy your time here until you meet Ran1. My supposed other ego.

I'm guessing ran1 is your new default antagonist? Whatever happened to Hyper Shinchan? :chinscratch:

I think RJ's little spat with Hyper Shinchan ended a while ago. He just accepted the fact that Hyper Shinchan posts KxS from time to time. Ran1 just said that RJ was his "alter-ego" in this thread; that's where it comes from.

I've had loads of fun following your escapades over the past three months, so that can't be true! If anything, you're a member of the anti-anti-fun brigade!

I feel bad, seems like I started the whole "writing off ran" shit and now everyone's doing it. Guys, cmon, yea he can troll but you don't need to just talk about how he does it all the time. If he starts shit say it, but when he's just being sociable, or not even being around, you don't have to talk bad about him.

You are right, In fact Shinchan and I are pretty good friends. He is what I like to call my discussion buddy.

COL: No, I just said that because Ran is the one that put it first.

Yeah, but you can't even do a halfway decent job of actually writing me off. Bagheera and Stryker have far eclipsed you in that regard

Mmmm? I haven't written you off. I wish I could, since your noise/signal ratio is so fucking terrible (albeit not so much lately), but I can't since the signal is pure fucking intellectual bliss when it comes through loud and clear. No, the worst I can express about you is disappointment, though that may perhaps be more damning than outright dismissal (mileage no doubt varies on that point).

I'm genuinely glad to see you making the effort, what with the sandbox analysis and the Nadia bit, even if Sachi did steal your thunder on the first. Sorry man, but he really knocked it out of the park on that one. Camera faggotry doesn't really match up by compare, even if it is interesting to see just how much Anno knows about the craft. But I long for the day when my default expectation for you is greatness rather than trolling; I don't knock the delight of being surprised when you break pattern, but said delight is far outweighed by the disappointment that creeps in when you don't. Though general natter about shit like KS is a perfectly acceptable happy medium. But I remain hopeful -- I'm a hopeless optimist when it comes to things like that.

And FFS, I am the anti-fun brigade. Seriously, my custom title should be "Angry Kitty" or something, it's really bad. The rest of you lot are just poseurs at best.

Don't know if this is one of the times you're being serious, but i'm sure many of the people here do get ran, but just don't like him. The trolling and noise/signal ratio might be fun to some but i'm sure you can grasp why some people wouldn't care for that.

Ran is frustrating at times, but he is not malicious. I've found that keeping that in mind takes a lot of the sting out of his otherwise thoughtless/brutish trolling comments.

Heh. We can be, when we're not getting ourselves worked up by meaningless shit. It's sadly all too easy to fall off the wagon in that regard, though.

You don't get me Dream, because you're new. I'm just too ironic for you to comprehend. I'm not sure how you would've ever survived 2010 evageeks -- the levels of paradox would've rustled you far past whatever I'm doing now
