[/quote] Right on cue, one of you moralists shows up and interprets a completely humorous post as something else. SCY, you'll never get it, and I'm quite aware why...but I feel for you, man. It must suck to not allow yourself the ability to seek enjoyment out of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadrian Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 [quote name='Beefspari' timestamp='1286994308' post='2483723'] I made a new propaganda poster to express my opinion and my sharp wit. Hopefully everyone can understand its brilliance. [Insert relevant image here] [/quote] I laughed at that. Not bad for an MS Paint job, I must say. [quote name='ktarthan' timestamp='1286994939' post='2483735'] Right. Because nearly all of the alliances in PB weren't already treatied. I too am surprised at this entirely new founding of political ties. This quite obviously renders the bloc fragile. [/quote] Yes. Yes it does. [quote name='TypoNinja' timestamp='1286996344' post='2483750'] Take propaganda lessons from MK? Hell yes. They make some of the best stuff around. Have for a long time.[/quote] Read my response to Janova. [quote]I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think its safe to say your grasp of international politics is shaky at best. Lets take your example of FOK and PC being together surprising you. Would it shock you even more to know that prior to the bloc FOK and PC had a treaty? One that dates back to Mar 3, 2009.[/quote] Nope, my grasp of international politics is just fine. I'm talking about the behaviour of both alliances. Let me know when you've figured out what I mean. I'm really not going to waste any more effort. [quote]Bad propaganda just all around sucks, I think you'll find that if you make good propaganda, even if its aimed at us, we will still acknowledge the skill in creating it. You didn't make good quality work. You had to explain your work. That kills it. Like any good joke, its no longer funny if it has to be explained. for example; Why do so many math majors confuse Halloween and Christmas? Because Oct 31 is Dec 25. Math majors are faceplaming over the pun, most others won't get it. So its not funny to them, if I have to explain it, they will understand, but it still won't be funny/entertaining. [/quote] You're still under the illusion that the image was a joke. Protip: It wasn't. [quote name='nippy' timestamp='1286998290' post='2483768'] 'worked up' and 'moaned'. You attempted to insult our new bloc with an attempt at propaganda, and instead produced an accidental stain of liquid fecal matter on the underwear of Bob. Bob doesn't appreciate unclean undies. Bob gets worked up and moans, and those of us that maintain Bob's undies (namely those of us who give a $%&@ about intelligence, wit, and humor) prefer to change Bob's diet when required. Please mind the tightie-whities, bud. [/quote] Okay, c'mon, only an inbred ten-year old would make a statement with references to underwear and "liquid fecal matter". Damn it nippy, go sit in the corner. And change your name to nappy while you're at it. I expected better from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KainIIIC Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 [quote name='Gofastleft' timestamp='1286996962' post='2483756'] Well Duh, we all know everyone hates kriekfreak. [/quote] [quote name='kriekfreak' timestamp='1286998749' post='2483773'] Ah it looks like my reputation proceeded me. Excellent. Haters gonna hate. [/quote] 'Hate' is definitely not the right word to use in this case, otherwise I would've used it. One can think very lowly of someone and still not 'hate' them in the least bit. Another example that comes to mind would be Olaf_Styfe, there's zero 'hate' to him from everyone. However... (Cue: Olaf popping up and being proud of people 'hating' him ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're defending a horrible piece of propaganda, not addressing the actual points we're making and accusing us of whining. You have no counterpoint and are only being contrary for the sake of being contrary. Your crying over our criticisms is more than a bit ridiculous. Have some dignity.

It is a crummy piece of propaganda because it looks terrible, isn't entirely clear on first look and its funny that anyone would think it was suitable for mass consumption on here. No leaps of logic there. I know that you can always fall back on the "stop whining" argument but its not going to make any of that less true.

[/quote] Because it sucks should be reason enough really. Better yet, the author came in with the facepalm emote, with what amounts to "IT DOES NOT SUCK D:", and had to explain the joke. Which was then followed by you "crying" about people "crying" over poorly done propaganda. Or something. And so now we're here.

Bob Janova Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 [quote]Oh for the love of...that's exactly my point. MK was/is allied to some of your members. Whatever propaganda they make is obviously going to be in your favour. That's not what I'm looking for, or haven't you figured that out yet?[/quote] I told you to get lessons on how to make it, not ask them to make it for you. So nice argument against something which I never said. Surprisingly enough, the same techniques for making good graphical propaganda apply whichever side you're aiming it at. I'm sure there's some old ex-Heg propagandists (NPO are also very good) if you want to get your instruction from someone on the 'right' side of the web, though.
