Dear Poster,
Thank you for taking the time to post on the Players' Corner message board. Unfortunately, we do have a small problem. You see, we don't care how long you've been playing Gemstone, and you seem to have mentioned it as the crux of your post or to support some poorly thought out argument. Us regulars here at the Players' Corner (PC) see this a lot. It may have something to do with the fact that only ignorant douchebags seem to feel the need to mention the (almost certainly fictional) amount of time they have played Gemstone. You aren't an ignorant douchebag, are you? We know a few players have been around a long time, we already know who they are. We're just as shocked as you that no one remembers seeing your characters before 1998, but that seems to be the way it is. Oh, you said the words "ice age"? Please, we must insist you refrain. The only time we would like to see that particular phrase is if you are fondly recalling that CGI classic starring Ray Romano. Heck, we'd even rather hear it as a consequence of your dire predictions for global climate change. But we must insist you never, ever, ever use it to support some line of specious reasoning you are advancing in whatever sort of disaster of a thread you have joined. Instead of (false) claims of seniority, may we suggest reason and/or logic. This will, obviously, be hard for some posters but even the most basic efforts will get you further than your current tack.
Thank you for your time and cooperation.
Sincerely,
The Players' Corner
