I have decided to violate my Grimoire NDA. Ask me anything

Prove that you're not making it up by posting some screenshots.

Do you think that if some people actually buy Grimore Cleve will use the few bucks to found a new nazi party, take over the US and use its massive WMD arsenal to whip all those irritating colored people off the globe?

Not really, since he won't be able to sell enough copies. I doubt the game will be good enough.

Even if it's good there is no fortune to be made by selling indy RPGs with outdated graphics.

I stopped caring when I read a post on the Grimoire site about the shenanigans over Rex. It had a bit of what Rex actually said but that was interspered with a whole pile of crap. I've seen that style of writing used before and it means I can't trust anything he says - at all - as I can't pick the truth from the hogwash.

As a result, I could care less about discussing Grimoire and would rather wait and see what happens en mass when it's actually released.

Does my butt look big in this?

Re: I have decided to violate my Grimoire NDA. Ask me anyth

Wow, he's crazier than I thought but I still don't care. If you want to avoid buying stuff produced by "assholes" you shouldn't buy anything at all 'cause there is a good chance that someone you would consider an "asshole" was involved in the production.
...
BTW every time you buy gas you are probably funding islamic terrorism... And you worry about Cleve?!

Who's worried? I just wanna poke Cleve with a stick. That might seem mean spritited, and it is, but don't worry. It'll stop being amusing in a little while and we'll all forget about Cleve for another six years or more.

Yeah, I know, in a perfect world people should wait until Grimoire is out and judge it independantly of its author's foibles. However, having read too many of Cleve's usenet postings over the course of my life, I'm pretty sure that if Grimoire ever gets released the plot at least will be laughably bad. Since Grimoire is unlikely to ever be released (I'll bet we see GenRogue out first!) I might as well take a few potshots now.

Seriously, how often does a xenophobic egomaniacal raving lunatic who believes in conspiracy theories and lives in a bomb shelter write something worth reading? Robert Anton Wilson could do it. Dave Sim, after he cracked and found religion, proved that he couldn't.

Yeah, that made me laugh. I mean, it's not like I have fact-checked all the stuff said about Cleve on here, but if he's gonna threaten with lawsuits and such it's probably a dumb idea to post factually incorrect information about the Codex or any of its (former) staff members on his page.

 

[the real G. beta-tester]

The story. Here is where the fun is. If I did not know about Cleve's proclivity towards racism, I would not think anything of it except that sometimes the writing is bombastic and over the top...and in other places just plain ludicrous. Overall the writing is not too bad, though. The story focuses rather heavily on the Star Child. The Star Child is the last vestige of the Old Race. As you go through the game, you learn about a great war between the Old Race and the animal-like races that are like half man half dog, etc. Before the Star Child is found, you need to find and prepare an Old Race base and its robotic defenses (til then the game was purely magic based) to fight off the hordes of evil halfhuman races(especially the half gorillas who are the most vile of them all!!!). They don't come out and say halfhuman, but that's basically what it is. Then, you have a bunch of choices, but the 'good' choice is you bring the Star Child back and he will lead the way into a new and glorious future, and will give your characters superhuman Old Race powers by turning them into full humans (again it doesn't say this but this is what's implied).

This is 100% bullshit. Every fucking word of it.

I don't remember any "bryce777" among betatesters either. Not the active ones, anyway.

As I am not going to violate NDA, that's all I'll say on the matter. Farewell, enjoy the hype.

edit: I'd love to play a game with such a lovecraftianesque and politically incorrect storyline though. Too bad it doesn't exist :-(

 

[Ap_Jolly]

Forget it, Cleve. The cat is out of the bag.

 

[the real G. beta-tester]

Believe what you will, sir. Including myself being Cleve.

Come to think of it, the hype and rumours around the game are no less entertaining than the game itself. Show must go on folks, please don't ever stop

 

[Ap_Jolly]

The only person who keeps fueling the hype, rumors, and "controversy" is you, Cleve. And the most entertaining thing of all this glorious mess is reading your ramblings at Grimoire website about RPGCodex.

So not only I am Cleve, but so is "bryce777"? Well-well, so who is a paranoid conspiracy theorist now?

Cleve's website posts are only an icing on the cake. But if they keep you dancing and ranting about him and the game, good for him, I guess.

 

[pyrrho12]

He can't be Cleve. He hasn't said that you have an obvious IQ of 70 and live with your mother and have never earned more than $10,000 a year yet. Oh, and you've been brainwashed by the liberal Marxists.

Cleve vs. the RPGCodex... It's like watching "The Jerry Springer Show" fight to the death against the "Jim Rose Circus Sideshow"!

Sounds like one fucking boring game.

You know, that's the best part about Cleve. He talks about how much people earn when he hasn't held down a job in well over a decade. He talks about people living with their mothers when he lets his wife support him. He talks about people's IQs when he can't even get fundamental facts right in his rants like Hitler never having a girlfriend. He talks about his physical prowess but when you look at the pictures of him and his gut, you have to wonder how long it's been since he's seen his penis.

He's like the ultimate hypocrit, and he's not even smart enough to connect the dots and figure that out.

My army of socialist Mexicans with Soviet training are on their way to Fort Cleve right now with cement and a mixer that will spell his DOOM. DOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.

[ He talks about people living with their mothers when he lets his wife support him.

He has a wife? :shock:

And I think he recently claimed he had work. Sth like "I develop Grimoire mainly when travelling on the train to work". Maybe it's on their forum somewhere. I don't know why I actually care.

 

[Ap_Jolly]

Yeah, well, I used to ride suburban train with congoids working as hotel workers, security guards, and gas station attendants, so taking pains to ride a train not exactly an indicator of having a very good job.

Can anyone else see someone that built a bomb shelter to live in due to the impending race war hopping the public transit to head to work?

 

[Ap_Jolly]

Honestly can't imagine anyone with race problems riding public transportation. Too many congoids D;

Um, nice try, but with his 47.345324i.234" biceps he is 45 times as strong as cement, and 94.5 times as strong as a troop of mexicans. He is huge!

 

[Surlent]

I figured the mexicans would have just semented his bunker sealing it shut and tight ?

 

[Ap_Jolly]

Bunkers have air flow systems to prevent residents from suffocating. Sealed bunkers can't last very long unless they have access to large volumes of water to extract the oxygen, and means to extract and expel or bind carbon dioxide.

Cleve's not that smart. He probably uses Mr. Coffee filters over his air intakes.

You know, it's pretty funny they flat out refute the Star Child thing, but not the gorilla-man thing.

Well, here you go. (That's from january) "My portable battery died, which was my primary development machine during my three hour commute each day. I get more done on the train to and from work than anywhere else when I am traveling to the city."
