Shi, your arguments about opinions does nothing but put us in the right and yourself in the wrong. Unless you can prove the difference between a game and a mod as a fact, you yourself confess to break the rules in mod threads, because your opinions give you no right to go off-topic.

A mod is a modified version of a game that's already made, thus it's not really it's own game. A Game is a game, not a modified version of some other game. (in most cases) I think they're two different things, and the words aren't really interchangeable.

lol? There is no right and wrong. Because opinions can't be right or wrong.
All you can read on Wikipedia is just the mainstream opinion or the opinion of the one who edited it.

The best example is the difference between "Crackers" and "Hackers".

So it's just dumb to call a opinion wrong or say that there are no opinions.

Agree.

You endorse my point there. The difference is your opinions, but the rules are facts. By expressing your opinions in a mod thread, you are going as off-topic as you accuse us of doing in other topics. :)

This thread is for exchanging opinions, if that would be offtopic, there would be no forum :)

I was talking about the mod threads [as in Crowned Witch or CS "2"] which you lead off-topic by your opinions which had nothing to do with the mod.

And you don't have to keep accusing me of undermining this thread because I am well aware that I am the one who suggested it's existance >_>

Huh? Offtopic by my opinions? O_o
All I was doing was posting a game of me there, and that was just about 20 posts of the entire thread, like Nator did in his thread. I think there is nothing wrong with that aslong as it's a work you made yourself and it doesn't overtake the whole thread.

You still didn't get the point did you? -_-

Unless we're doing anything against the rules in a mod thread by saying "game", you're the one breaking rules by going off-topic because your opinions aren't warrant enough for flaming other members. I can flame you all I want for drilling the fact that 1+1=2, but if I go ahead to state my opinion of how many people I think Newton had sex with when the topic of discussion is Schism, I'm going blatantly off-topic.

Flaming has been done before 4328534857349 times, so nothing new.
Atleast I'm not one the members who go into every topic and flood it with spam or offtopic posts -_-" And atleast 3/4 aren't spam or offtopic posts.

Therefore, your argument is lost here itself since you indirectly admit your ideas are opinion, not fact.

What I want to say is: There are no things called "facts". Because nearly everything is based on opinions.

You don't get the point, because you want don't want to.
Stop forcing your opinion it accomplishes nothing. It just leads to a flame war.
Accept mine or stop arguing.

If ever a flame war begins, this post of yours should claim the credit. -_-#

Seriously, this was a dignified argument a post ago.

Oro? Whatever -.-

Back to the point: The opinions vs fact discussion has little to do with the topic, so we can move on to game vs mod. How is "edited game" any different from "Cave Story '2'"?

The keyword is your favourite substitute for Jacob's famous act with Chaco!

"EDITED game"

It is, thanks for emphasising. ^_^


O_o I dunno if that post was with my argument or against it but I'm sure you could make out what I mean if you read all my previous posts.

I don't get why you try so hard to proove that you're right and I'm wrong.
