Hoo, yuck.

This is a resurrection of a copy of Hall and "Burnout"s rebuttal to MacLennan & Sartin's review of their precious "game". Actually I suspect it's a copy of it, which makes the formatting look even worse... lots of blockquotes and special margin tweaks involved. I didn't remove those because 1) it might detract from how they specifically wanted it to look, and 2) it would have been even more of a pain in the ass.

Of course, I didn't put in any comments of my own, except strictly editorial stuff.

Here is a good place to put those comments on the text, assuming you don't want it to go too far. If you want extensive discussion, it might be better to start a thread on RPOpen.

Have loads of fun with this..... --Lord Knockwood the Mad 04:39, 18 Jun 2005 (PDT)

Reading part of this shows two things:

1: That Hall and his fanboi friend are like most other people - they've taken their position and refuse to budge, preventing any rational discussion and turning it into an exchange of insults.

2: That Hall and his fanboi friend are also probably brain-damaged. They show absolutely no signs of knowing what humor and sarcasm are while making several patently absurd arguments and throwing accusations everywhere. - Oddsod

Joke is on us?

I downloaded the FATAL "sample" last night, thinking that the stuff mentioned in the review was hyperbole and satire and was shocked to find that...well, it actually is in the book.

Going over this in my head for a few hours, I came to the conclusion that this whole thing has to be a joke. A gag, a put-on, a prank. Seriously, has anyone inquired into this line of thought before?--Mike 17:31, 31 Jul 2005 (PDT)
