Ok here is the start off


Master of Paradox, why will hearing the price cause people to have a heart attack? Are you afraid that you will end up having one? If so, why?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

What if people hate the sight of high prices?

[firepokemon]

Would a heart attack be a bad thing? Don't people look at themselves after they have heart attacks?

[Master of Paradox]

What if they don't survive the first one?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Maybe they can be brought back as a zombie so they can reflect on their life?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Do zombies exist?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Why not? Zombies are cool aren't they?

[shazza]

How do you define cool?

[Master of Paradox]

Isn't "cool" a personal matter?

[firepokemon]

Who or what could be classed as cool? Why do I think I don't actually get the purpose of this game?

[Fett One]

What if they don't survive the first one?

If they don't survive than how can they have more than one?


firepokemon, what's not to get about this game?

[shazza]

Maybe he finds the questions rhetorical?

[Master of Paradox]

Why would that be a problem?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Maybe he has a fear of rhetorical questions?

[Knight of Time]

Wouldn't rhetorical questions possibly give rhetorical answers?

[firepokemon]

Why does rhetorical questions remind me of how horrible I did in English one year?

[Fett One]

How bad did you do in english?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Maybe you did something really bad?

[shazza]

How do you define really bad?

[firepokemon]

When is something considered really bad?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Isn't that when you do something that is not socially acceptable?

[mr_pikachu]

Who decides what is socially unacceptable?

[shazza]

Wouldn't that be society itself?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Is society a living being with thoughts of its own?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

What does a society think most of time?

[Heald]

Doesn't a society just base its opinion on what fashion magazines and tabloids tell them?

[Fett One]

Is that how you base your opinion of things?

[shazza]

What other mediums can you base your opinions on?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

What about videogames?

[Fett One]

What role do video games play in society?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Aren't the meant to be the root of all evil? and supposedly turn kids into serial killers?

[firepokemon]

Isn't that just the theory of media effects that believes humans to not be capable of telling real from the unreal?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Isn't what I just said what other say because they are to lazy to blame their selves?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Do you agree with me if I say videogames bring more welfare? Or will you say that losing in a videogame causes bad mood?

[Master of Paradox]

Should we say that while losing can cause bad moods, videogames are not inherently socially damaging?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Aren't video games just meant to be fun?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Does anyone else think it's funny when someone is shot with a rocket launcher and his or her body explodes?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

In a video game? or in real life?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Hmmmm...weren't we talking about videogames?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Though can't that question works both ways?

[firepokemon]

Can't every question be worked both ways?

[Fett One]

What if it can't be worked both ways?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Why have we ended up with talking about rephrasing questions again? How about some real answers to questions, in the form of questions of course?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Why don't we just all have a vote to decide on which way the topic will go?

[Master of Paradox]

How would we figure out who voted for what in question-only format?

[Fett One]

Couldn't we add a poll?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Can we add a poll to this topic without having to make a new thread?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Am I the only one who finds exploding bodies in videogames funny? Is that sick or weird or something?

[shazza]

Why have you gone off topic? Do you not realise we have moved on from video games?

[Master of Paradox]

Is it really so bad to move to a new topic at this point?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Isn't the point of this game to move seamlessly from one topic to another only using questions?

[firepokemon]

Would it not help for someone to choose a topic that won't allow us to keep questioning how to question and did any of that make any sense?

[Fett One]

What should we change the topic to? Can we talk about food like in the old days of this game?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Isn't the food topic getting old?

[shazza]

Why would it be getting old?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

OK, what's your favorite food then?

[Master of Paradox]

What if I can't choose?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Did you know that I myself find it difficult to choose, too?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

So why dont we choose a different topic then?

[shazza]

How about we discuss the rules? Have you guys read rule 2?

[firepokemon]

Aren't rules meant to be broken?

[Fett One]

Why do you think rules are meant to be broken? Doesn't breaking the rules only cause chaos?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Isn't that only when the rules are like super important?

[shazza]

Aren't all the rules super important? How do you define what rules are super important and what rules aren't?

[Master of Paradox]

Maybe you can do that by counting how many times people get away with breaking a given rule?

[firepokemon]

Why are we talking about rules changes? Weren't we suppose to turn away from those?

[Fett One]

Are we doomed to be stuck talking about rules?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Did you mention the rule number 2, shazza? Aren't we still quite far from a flame war or something, at least in this thread?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Whats a flame war?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Could for example firepokemon explain it? Did you know someone like he could perhaps put in into words better than me?

[firepokemon]

Why should I explain what a flame war is?

[Master of Paradox]

Maybe because "fire" is in your name?

[Fett One]

How does having the word fire in his name make him the best person to explain what a flame war is? Why can't someone else explain it to him?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Could for example firepokemon explain it? Did you know someone like he could perhaps put in into words better than me?

Didn't I say 'for example'?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Doesn't anyone in this topic know what a flame war is?

[shazza]

Would you like me to explain?

[Fett One]

Could you, so we can finally change the topic?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Isn't shazza just the right person to tell us? Hasn't he followed the situation at TPM very carefully?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

There is a situation at TPM?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Did I use the correct English word?

[shazza]

Why am I the right person? Have I been in many flame wars in my time?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Will some one just please answer my question?

[Master of Paradox]

What question was that again?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Wasn't it what is a flame war?

[shazza]

Do you really want to know what a flame war is?

[Fett One]

Crazy Elf Boy, didn't you know that a flame war is when people start insulting each other in a thread? Why did it take so long for someone to finally answer Crazy Elf Boy's question?

[firepokemon]

Who likes devouring flame wars and remembers the flame wars of old time?

[shazza]

Wouldn't that just be me and you?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Crazy Elf Boy, didn't you know that a flame war is when people start insulting each other in a thread? Why did it take so long for someone to finally answer Crazy Elf Boy's question?

Did you understand I didn't tell Crazy Elf Boy what it is because I just have heard about flame wars and never actually looked at TPM and said 'Hey, isn't that a flame war?'? Thus wouldn't I have been the wrong person to tell you?

[Fett One]

Why couldn't someone else have explained it to him, such as shazza and firepokemon?

[shazza]

Perhaps we were never given the chance? Furthermore, can someone please tell Mikachu Yukitatsu to fucking read question 2 and follow it?

[firepokemon]

Why is it that Shazza with what he just said resembles a male Hyena on heat? (Hyenas are well they're just funny animals)

[Master of Paradox]

Maybe you're just twisted?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

How twisted can a TPMer be?

[shazza]

Does being twisted have limits?

[Inferno_Dragon]

What are those limits?

[Master of Paradox]

Would we really be happier knowing?

[Fett One]

Are you saying you wouldn't?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Why wouldn't he?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Maybe he wants to know if he is in the limits?

[firepokemon]

What limitations would we be likely to see?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Why does everything have to have limits anyways?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Isn't it that some things have limits although they shouldn't have?

[Fett One]

What kinds of things shouldn't have limits?

[firepokemon]

Why must this game be about limitations, rules and other miscellaneous things that are rather boring?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Otherwise wouldn't it be total chaos?

[Inferno_Dragon]

What is wrong with chaos?

[Master of Paradox]

Can we really play our games without any order?

[Fett One]

Has anyone ever tried to play a game without any order?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Wouldn't it just be bad to play, with people posting all over the place?

[firepokemon]

Why does a game have to be with order? And would it not be great if this game moved on to something other than being about rules, order etc etc etc?

What about about pokemon, who likes pokemon here?

[Inferno_Dragon]

What if there are people who don't like pokemon here?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Couldn't they just say that they don't like Pokémon?

[firepokemon]

Who could ever hate pokemon? Shouldn't everyone find them cute and interesting?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Why would someone be on a pokemon related forum if they didn't like pokemon?

[Fett One]

What if they liked pokemon at one time but eventually lost interest?

[Master of Paradox]

Like me?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Is this forum too Pokemon-related?

[firepokemon]

Could it really be that people are far more less involved in pokemon these days?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Hasn't pokemon began to lose its charm a little?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

How is that possible? Isnt it as charming as always?

[Inferno_Dragon]

How does Pokemon charm people anyways?

[Fett One]

Didn't Nintendo pull that off by using a cute looking pokemon (pikachu) as it's mascot?

[firepokemon]

Did Nintendo make the right decision in making pikachu their main mascot and their main identity?

[Master of Paradox]

Why would they need a mascot when they've had Mario since the early '80s?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Couldn't they have also other mascots such as Link and some Pokemon?

[shazza]

Isn't a mascot only a singular thing, rather than collective?

[Fett One]

True but whoever said you can't have secondy characters that are as popular as the mascot?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Are Pikachu and Link as popular as Mario is right now?

[firepokemon]

Could anything be as popular as Mario? And just who the hell is Link?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Isn't he the main character of the Legend of Zelda series?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Did you think Zelda is the one in green clothes like I about ten years ago did?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Why is it called the Legend of Zelda anyways? Shouldn't it be called The Legend of Link? Aren't the games all about him?

[Fett One]

Does the title of teh game really matter? Wouldn't the games be just as good no matter what they are called?

[shazza]

But wouldn't the game lose credibility with an inaccurate name?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Doesn't the name give the very first impression about the game only if we see it first?

[Master of Paradox]

Could it be said to have had credibility to begin with?

[Fett One]

Do you think that is the case?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Don't people judge the game by how the front and the back cover of the case looks?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

What if they haven't seen the covers before they see someone playing the game itself?

[Fett One]

How often do you think that happens?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Why would that happen? Does someone actually buy a game without seeing what the game looks like or the specific details of the game?

[Master of Paradox]

Maybe they were going by an inaccurate review?

[firepokemon]

Don't you think we should assume that most purchases are gut instincts?

[Fett One]

Are all of your purchases made by gut instincts?

[Inferno_Dragon]

What purchases has firepokemon made?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

What if you visit your friend and see he or she is just playing a new game and you see the covers later?

Was this question late?

[Fett One]

Do you think it's late?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Why would it be considered late?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Was it because it wasn't related to the post above anymore?

[Master of Paradox]

Has that ever stopped us?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Can anything stop us?

[firepokemon]

Would we like to be stopped?

[Fett One]

Can't the mods stopped everyone?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Have they ever stopped firepokemon, for instance?

[Master of Paradox]

Do people really listen to the mods?

[Fett One]

Wouldn't things be completely out of control here if they didn't? Do you know anyone that doesn't listen to them?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Why would anybody not listen to them? Are mods the voices of reason and judgment?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Aren't mods human, too?

[Fett One]

What about super mods? Are they human?

[Inferno_Dragon]

How do we know mods are human? What if they are mystical creatures that are posing as humans?

[Master of Paradox]

Wait a minute, who says YOU'RE human?

[Fett One]

How do we know you're human? Is questioning each person's humanity really necessary? Doesn't it only cause paranoia and fear?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Doesn't Inferno_Dragon's name suggest he's a dragon?

[firepokemon]

Doesn't his name also suggest that his fire breath is very intense and uncontrollable?

Also if he is a dragon, what type of dragon is he?

[Master of Paradox]

Judging from the looks of his avatar, wouldn't he be a red dragon?

[Inferno_Dragon]

How can you come to that conclusion since I have no avatar?

[Fett One]

Have you ever had an avatar?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Did you mistake Inferno_Dragon for Fett One?

[Inferno_Dragon]

How could he mistake me for Fett One? Didn't he suggest that my supposed avatar was a red dragon? Isn't Charizard a Orange Colored Dragon?

[Lady Vulpix]

Isn't Charizard an orange-colored dragon?

And couldn't he as easily mix up red with orange as mix up the two of you? After all, isn't a good part of Fett One's avatar red?

[mr_pikachu]

Isn't Charizard an orange-colored dragon?

Are you trying to become the Grammar Nazi's protege?

[Lady Vulpix]

Brian, how many times has this been discussed? Which one of us started first anyway?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Are you saying that you started correcting people's grammar first, Lady Vulpix?

[Master of Paradox]

Is who started the grammar-correcting thing all that important?

[Lady Vulpix]

How can I know, if Brian won't tell me when he started?

And doesn't the fact that I'd been doing it for many years by the time I first heard of Brian prove that I'm not copying him?

[Fett One]

Doesn't that mean than he is copying you? In the end, does it really matter if one person is copying the other? Isn't this board big enough for two Grammar Nazi's?

[firepokemon]

Are people writing so grammatically incorrect that this board requires grammar nazis?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Don't some people here consistently use improper use of grammar?

[Fett One]

Who is the biggest offender?

[firepokemon]

Could there not be many offenders? Do I write grammatically correct? Or am I grammatically incorrect?

[Master of Paradox]

Would it really be fair to say?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Can't we elect someone to have the official responsibility of correcting grammar on this board?

[Fett One]

Don't mr_pikachu and Lady Vulpix already have that job covered?

[Inferno_Dragon]

How can they be covered? Do they have an "official" title of Grammar Nazi?

[firepokemon]

Could their reputation solely be used to categorise them as Grammar Nazis?

[mr_pikachu]

May I clarify something? Who is challenging me for the title of Grammar Nazi?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Who says anyone is challenging you for the title of Grammar Nazi?

[mr_pikachu]

Aren't you all suggesting that someone else wants to be a Grammar Nazi?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Am I suggesting that?

[firepokemon]

Is Mikachu correct? Would you like somebody to replace you as Grammar Nazi?

[Knight of Time]

Why would you want to be replaced as Grammar Nazi anyway, Mikachu? Doesn't the idea of a successor of some job have to be from the person who is "stepping down"?

[Fett One]

Who said Mikachu was the grammer nazi?

[firepokemon]

Was I not asking if Mr.Pikachu wanted to be replaced as Grammar Nazi?

[Knight of Time]

What if mr_pikachu wants to stay as the Grammar Nazi? Then again, is there the possibility we may have two Grammar Nazis instead of one?

[Master of Paradox]

Is anyone else scared by the prospect of multiple Grammar Nazis?

[Fett One]

Why do you find that scary?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Why is so scary about multiple Grammar Nazis? What is so scary about multiple people correcting your grammar? Wouldn't that be a good thing not a bad thing?

[firepokemon]

Wouldn't we be scared because of our own grammar inadequacies?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

What were the peolple in nazi Germany afraid of?

[Inferno_Dragon]

What is the different between the Nazis and the Grammar Nazis anyways?

[Knight of Time]

Inferno_Dragon, don't you mean difference, not different?

[Fett One]

Inferno_Dragon, haven't you ever been taught about WW2?

[Master of Paradox]

Maybe his school dropped the ball?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

What does 'dropping the ball' mean?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Does dropping the ball mean if someone drops the ball, they are not doing their job or taking their responsibilities seriously enough and let something go wrong? And who says that my school dropped the ball? Don't you know that I know much about WW2 History? Wasn't my question asking what makes a Grammar Nazi so different from a Nazi?

And am I asking too many questions .... again?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Doesn't anyone else remember I think it was mr_pikachu himself who told about the differences between the nazis and grammar nazis once? Can you believe I used something like 20 minutes to find the post I mean here and couldn't? Can you remember he was talking someting about Grammar Nazis being superior to Hitler?

Seeing this long post, can you imagine how we feel now when you post so many questions, Inferno_Dragon?

[Lady Vulpix]

Don't you think calling Brian a Nazi would be offensive to him, and calling me a Nazi would be as offensive as it is absurd?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Can't we come up with a better title then? How about Grammar Master? Or Grammar Expert? Or Grammar Professor?

[Lady Vulpix]

How about Grammar Supervisor, which I have called myself a few times?

[Fett One]

Does "Grammar Supervisor" have the staying power that "Grammer Nazi" has? Shouldn't we ask Brian what he thinks before changing it?

[firepokemon]

I am confused who is Brian? And are you not that already Lady Vulpix as you are a teacher after all, are you not?

[mr_pikachu]

Isn't it obvious that the Grammar Nazi is not a Nazi? Haven't you read the disclaimers in my monthly E-zine column?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Should we use mr_pikachu's TPM name instead of 'Brian'?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Whats wrong with his real name?

[Lady Vulpix]

Isn't 'Brian' easier on the ears and fingers than 'mr_pikachu'?

[firepokemon]

One would think so, but surely some prefer merely using people's forum names? Or am I the only one that tends to work that way?

[Knight of Time]

Would you use anyone's real name if you knew it, firepokemon?

[Fett One]

Haven't you read the disclaimers in my monthly E-zine column?

What E-zine column?


Knight of Time, what reason could firepokemon have for not using people's real names?

[Lady Vulpix]

What?! You haven't read the fanfic forum E-Zine?

Then why don't you go and read it?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Does everyone know everyone else's names here?

[mr_pikachu]

What?!

Is that sentence grammatically correct, Grammar Supervisor?

[VirtualPlay]

What's with all the "Grammar Nazi" vs. "Grammar Supervisor" debating? What about the poor, neglected "Spelling Nazi" (or the counter "Spelling Supervisor")? What do names have to do with any of that?

And what the heck am I doing back at this place anyway?

[Fett One]

Don't they have everything to do with it?


Gabi, what is so great about that fic?

[Knight of Time]

Fett One, wouldn't it be better to just read that fic first? Or is it not your kind of story?

[Master of Paradox]

What would his kind of story be?

[Lady Vulpix]

Who said it was a fic? Haven't you ever heard of an E-Zine before?


Is that sentence grammatically correct, Grammar Supervisor?

Do you see anything wrong with it?

[Knight of Time]

Does E-Zine stand presumably for an Electronic Magazine Gabi?

[Lady Vulpix]

How did you figure that out, Kyle?

[Master of Paradox]

Maybe he looked at the e-zines themselves?

[Fett One]

Why would I look at it if I don't know what it's about? What does teh E-Zine deal with?

[Knight of Time]

Did anyone realize I was attempting to use pure logic in saying the extended form of E-Zines? And don't E-Zines usually contain the same things as magazines?

[Inferno_Dragon]

What if they weren't aware of it? What if they were in their own little world not paying attention at all?

[Fett One]

How many people do that?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Don't we all do that?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Why do we all go into our own little worlds anyways?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Don't they teach why we go to our own worlds at psychology classes?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Don't we go to our little worlds in psychology class anyway?

[Knight of Time]

Do you guys refer to going into your own little worlds as being distracted in any class?

[Lady Vulpix]

Weren't they originally referring to being unaware of the outside world (and therefore not knowing what an E-Zine is)?

And why doesn't Fett One go to the Fanfic forum and take a look at the E-Zine instead of asking us what's in it?

[Fett One]

What's wrong with asking about what it is? Wouldn't finding that out help a person decide rather or not they want to take a look at it?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Does asking about something that a persons doesn't know about make them smarter? Don't we all ask about things we don't about? Is there a person in this world who knows everything?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Just why do people always say see for yourself when you want to know a thing in the internet?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Maybe they are too lazy to show some one where it is?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

And what about people who could well tell what something is but they just ask to google it?

[Lady Vulpix]

Doesn't it depend on whether it's easier to explain it or to just see it? Aren't some things self-explanatory?

[Knight of Time]

Aren't there some things or concepts that are too hard to explain or see?

[Inferno_Dragon]

Why is it like that anyways?

[Fett One]

Wouldn't life be too easy if things weren't like that?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Wouldn't everything be chaotic?
