Are we all so stupid???.....Gamebanshee pride!!!

[Edwin]

Wandering around the web, today i had a look to the sorcerer's place forum.....at the end of december there's a guy that posted a message titled "stupid strategies". He said that here at gamebanshee we post "nonsense" strategies.....are we all so stupid??? It doesn't matter, I'm proud to be a member here at gamebanshee!!! http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/cool.gif

Whos is this man? We must destroy him immediately. Then rub salt in his entrails.

[Mr Sleep]

We all give opinions, and if he is stupid enough to take all those opinions to heart then he deserves nothing more than to be flamed and smited.

[Ubik]

Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody 's got one...

...and this one stinks too http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Having not read any strategies on the sorcerers place forums I prefer not to jump to conclusions about what site attracts the most clever players. All I can say that the questions and answers here are quite a few notches above both the official forum and the one at the planetbaldursgate. But then again "we" are soooo much fewer here and have yet not much room for sheer bizarness.

Though "we" do have a moderator calling himself -Buck Satan-. That's pretty bizarre I guess.

[Osiris]

Has anyone checked out the strategies on offer at the Sorceror's Place? Are they really that good?

I haven't looked at too many sites other than GameBanshee - I find the info here good, and the message board entertaining.

Yes I have. Good or bad I used their link to find Gamebanshee.

IMHO Buck and the rest are doing a fine job.

Oh, Gruntboy... you didn't have too...

Ubik is soooo flattered http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

"He said that here at gamebanshee we post "nonsense" strategies.....are we all so stupid??? It doesn't matter, I'm proud to be a member here at gamebanshee!!!"

The beauty of the strategies here at GameBanshee is that they are 99% user-submitted. It is someone's opinion whether or not they are helpful. Used in certain ways, every strategy can contribute to someone's BG2 adventuring.

However, yes, some of them are "cheap" as the thread at Sorcerer's Place states (url is http://www.sorcerers.net/ubb/Forum2/HTML/001216.html for those of you who want to check it out). But spells like Cloudkill and skills like setting traps are part of the game. If someone wants to use them in a manner that makes an encounter easier (even foolproof), then that is their choice.

I simply post thought-out strategies that viewers submit to us. They are there for people to read, that's it. You don't necessarily have to like the methods used =).

"Who is this man? We must destroy him immediately. Then rub salt in his entrails."

Hmmm salt might be a bit too much. But he definitely needs to be destroyed =).

"Though "we" do have a moderator calling himself -Buck Satan-. That's pretty bizarre I guess."

Yeah, I suppose it is. The name was pinned on me many years ago due to a side project for the band Ministry entitled "Buck Satan and the 666 Shooters". It was a joke band, intended to be funny, but since I was a die-hard Ministry fan, people decided to call me Buck Satan. So... years later I began using the nickname for my online works (most notably when I did work for GameZNet) and when I started GameBanshee I figured it was in my best interest to keep the name so that the gaming community knew it was the same guy...

It is a bit bizarre, but I assure you, I'm not a sick & twisted devilman (or am I?) =).

"IMHO Buck and the rest are doing a fine job."

Well thank you Weasel. We pour a LOT of time into ensuring that we provide the most comprehensive information possible. Hopefully, we're doing our job.

@Buck I agree 100%. It's not like you force people to come here. You don't ask for much .(Just to click on our sponsors. Now how hard is that to do) You give everyone a lot of leeway here in the forum.

What more could we ask for??


I say if someone can post a reply in another forum and brainwash the people reading it , that is their loss.

First off, Buck's site is the best BGII site on the web (I have 10+ bookmarked). Second, in that discussion in the Sorceror's Place, plenty of people are defending such strategies. The point is, you don't have to use any strategy if you don't want to, Buck is merely providing information. There's nothing worse than getting stuck in one battle for 4 hours. And finally, the main guy in that forum, the moderator Sylvus, that is whining about such strategies is doing it on the basis of gameplay. In other posts, it's pretty much obvious he doesn't even like the game, so why is it suprising that he looks with disdain on these non-realistic role playing strategies. Check out http://www.sorcerers.net/ubb/Forum2/HTML/001431.html
if you want to see what I mean. I posted a rather rude message about someone with 1000+ posts not even liking the game. Gamebanshee rules.

[Drakron Du´Dark]

What a dickhead(oops, but there is no other word for him) Sylvus does not likes this type of games.why he is a moderator is a mystery that nobody(not even god) will know. And he just makes a fool of himself in there...so...no need for us to retaliate, the forum members there will do that for us.

This guy Sylvus is nothing, but a whiner!!!
Buck opens things up much better. Yes, he expresses his opions, but he doesn't slam people. Out of the other gaming site I prefer GameBanshee.

Keep up the good work.

P.S. I was going to call Sylvus a weasel, but it wouldn't be fair to Weasel. http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

So basically what you all are saying is that you don't take criticism very well?

Did all of you really read the thread?

That thread was one of those RPG against powergamers things.

It takes all kinds of people...
