you know i recently have been banned for being misogynist, even a forum moderator "eiwynn" called me machist for saying
"i dont see how Welles (character in the game that results to be a woman) will never be able to command our mc into battle"......
first of all cause i pointed out in the game " womans cant join the military" and second even if some day they are allowed (in the game) " to make that Character Welles into the commander of such regiment (royal dragons) the actual commander of the regiment will either need to die, or she will need to marry the son and make said son give the regiment to her....
Even after i explained that it doenst even matter if Welles was a man, it will still be impossible to take command of such regiment since i dont see either the actual commander or the son after he inherits the regiment giving that up.
I end up logged off and banned for 15 days for mysogenist, when i was never even talking about such personnal matter.
This is the point where i wait for my bann to finish up so i can log in again and send a pm to dan for the complete removal of my forum account.
I had never been so insulted in my life and calling me a machist is something i wont tolerate anyone to call me, i never understand why did you keep away from such community , now i see why *facepalm*
On a side note: it was your game Eternal that got me actually into cyoas, and after searching in google for such games i ended up in that website. 5 years later i end up posting here, funny way life have us come back to our origins xD
Why do you want the complete removal of your forum account? You could just not log in again. Or I guess you could just delete your messages one by one if you like. Your account can't be deleted, as far as I know.
Merry Christmas, at any rate.
P.S. Why, here, are you "djisma," but on CoG, "djisma69"? This decision needs defending.
because they punish theyr own missunderstanding with injust banns of users, having common sense and find the impossibility of such content be confused and interpreted as machist / misogynist is very damm absurd, i have tired of them interpreting my post as they wish when i have try my damm best to clear it out and explain what i really did mean.
They can be deleted, but it must be a cog staff, i think.
ps: I did always use djisma in games and forums until later i changed it to djisma69, this account have 6 years now, my account in the cog have around 5 so that is why xD
btw i do remember you use gower in cog too... i think?
@chanbot im not a native english citizen , im spanish so forgive me sir if my literacy is not up to your standards
i dont usually when i write from my phone, is very annoying.
kind of like using slangs xD
i think you need to take a chill pill.
I am the one insulting? when he is the only one doing it (insulting), calling me illiterate for example.
illiterate [ ih-lit-er-it ] adjective 1 unable to read and write: an illiterate group. 2 having or demonstrating very little or no education. 3 showing lack of culture, especially in language and literature. 4 displaying a marked lack of knowledge in a particular field:
I can't edit the post, so if you want here is a edit of that previous post.
You know, I recently have been banned for "being misogynist" , even a forum moderator "eiwynn" called me machist for saying "I dont see how Welles (character in the game that results to be a woman) will never be able to command our mc into battle......" .
First of all because as I pointed out in the game " womans can't join the military" and even if some day they are allowed (in the game) ,to make that Character Welles into the commander of such regiment (royal dragons) the actual commander of the regiment will either need to die, or she will need to marry the son and make said son give the regiment to her....

I had never been so insulted in my life and calling me a machist is something I won't tolerate anyone to call me, I did never understand why you keep away from such community, now I see why *facepalm*
And as I said before writing from a phone is very annoying , atleast for me. ;)
That "wall of text" is very hard to edit from a phone, I did try my best though. As for your guess of what happened, it's correct. To be fair, that community was not so bad around the first years I joined, its recently that has been getting worse.
Do you know more games similar Eternal?
Yeah, I mean aside from that one. (I have pretty much read all games from EndMaster)
@mizal Will check it out, thanks ;)
(Did reply the wrong post, damm my fingers)
Oh I think I've recognized your name over at Cog in the forums there before.
On another note, why the hell are all my readers from Spain starting out reading my work and THEN going to Cog, getting into fights with other Cogites over faggy shit only they care about and wind up back here anyway?
Seriously you silly fuckers had it right the first time.
You should have warned me when I did pm you in cog how much i loved Eternal haha
Silent "D", naturally.
I never did join the Discord of Paul Wang (I am registered in his discord, but I never join it, so don't know about that) and I don't have anything against Mara, She is a fellow Spanish ;). Profession / Real Name Deejay / Isma
That's no flirting, those are insults.
In any case I am only intested in girls, no offense. :)
The correct translation is " That, you fagot son of a bitch, idiot / stupid"
It can be used as friendly, like calling a friend "bitch" but mostly are insults no matter the reason behind it or the tone you use, I think calling that "flirting" is overstate :).
I wonder what cicles are you in.... haha
What friction is she talking about you and other gays in Paul's Wang Disco?
Mommy, where do elephants come from?
lmao who edited that?
I like how Eiwynn basically told djism that being from a third world country wasn't an excuse for not being "woke." Lol
Most stupid moderation ever, I did try to explain that having common sense about what can happen in a game and what can't has nothing to do with my personal belief in real life, to think that I was being machist for discussing game content that is unlikely to happen in the game come out as mysogynist or machist is the most dumb "view" I have ever seen in Cog site.
And I did say to her to edit the post because she called me a machist for her own missunderstanding, that's why, that they end up abusing the power they hold is nothing but tyranny and having less than human decency.
You posted in the CoG forums a lot about gender--I remember you posting in one of the gender choice/game development threads several times and getting roundly shouted down. I forget what the exact topic that you were arguing about was, though.
Because they tend to missunderstand my post and when I defend myself they just flag it, the moderation in cog is pretty much if you are a member and not a moderator and someone missunderstand your post... dont argue ( let the whole community think you are in the wrong here even if you are not).
That's something I will never let slide , there is always a limit to the insults or injustice you can take no matter if they are staff.
I was talking about the game content, of what can happen and what can't, like for example a woman having a regiment of cavalry where the mc can be second in command. She interpreted me discussing the game content as something offensive towards woman in real life when that was never my intent.
To explain it further, in the game (in Tierra) woman are not allowed to join the military in the first place, the whole country is kind of misogynist, that's the whole argument, I did see the impossibility of such a thing happen in the game and she did take it as me being the one "having male pride" and being a misogynist.
And even after I explained it to her she did not want to admit she was wrong.
But is not my game, is the game from Paul wang.
I was just debating how in that world society he did create it will be impossible to have a woman outrank us and command us when we already are in a regiment lead by one of the most powerfull duques, someone who won't give up the command or regiment to a woman or anyone else except his son.
I never said woman are not fit to rule, you are making the same mistake Eiwynn did make, what i was talking out in the game thread is how it will be impossible for her to outrank the mc and take the regiment from Cunnaris, is something that will never happen and it has nothing with womans not being able to command in the first place.
To put an example, because you kill a person in the game you are not a killer in real life.
She did insult me for something game related content and i did never insulted her, so im not in the wrong here.
I understand i should have not engage into an argument but when someone insult you and call you things that you did not even mean in the first place the most common sense for me is to tell them they are wrong, yes is something i should have let it slide but there is so much shit you can take before you explode.
Your ban lasts for four more days--it's not like you were banned for a thousand years; I would guess that a clearly stated and not pissed-off disagreement on the forum would be well-received if this situation comes up again, even with a mod.
The problem here is that the only trigger insult that can have me lost myself in argument is calling me a machist, i have been rised alone by my mother and to be called a machist or misogynist when the most important person in my life is my mother that will trigger me to a point of no return and is something i will never take it well.
Does "machist" mean "one who has a lot of maschismo"? Or is it a typo for misogynist? Or some other, different word? I think I've only ever seen it from you and Mara.
We do have a regular member who is a machinist.
A machist may be. An exponent of machism; An exponent of machismo
Yeah, pretty much what you said.
I clicked the link on wikipedia for "an exponent of machism" and got this.
I hadn't realized what we were dealing with here. This is complicated.
(I don't think machism with a small m is an English word.) On the up side I just learned the word "Caballerosidad."
Bryce was the one that banned you, so I asked him to clarify you why he banned you. And That is the damn reason why. You should have inquired who banned you, instead of jumping on the first women nearby and accused her of everything. I don't really care about what has happened but I will always defend my friends
I don't care who banned me, she insulted me and missunderstand my post even when i did try my damm best to make her understand, and yes bryce may have been the one to ban me but she is the one that did make it happen in the first place by insulting me and not admit that she was in the wrong here.
You can defend whoever you want, it wont change reality.
"It has come to my attention you are stirring up drama needlessly and dragging in a separate community for no other reason than to complain about something you brought upon yourself."
NOW the thread finally had a pay off to the original post.
Well this was an amusing diversion, time for something else.
Agree 100%.
You can spoiler us about your next game? xD
Im a sucker for dark themed games like Shin mega tensei, i hope is similar to Eternal or something like that one.
Don't really give a damm about that, they are the only ones that are toxics, if you read the post that Mara posted here of bryce you will see that he says i was banned for something else yet the ban says "misogynist", such a hypocrite that guy is.
What I find funny is that such community have treated Mara pretty bad here and she has been the one to go tell them of this ;)
You have a way to missunderstand some post too, im not calling you guilty of anything, what i find funny is that they have treated you pretty bad too in that website and you defend such behaviour, I do understand if Eywinn is your friend but that has nothing to do with who is in the right or wrong here.
Looks like he got his offenses upgraded from misogynistic views to flat out misogyny, added personal attacks, the ever popular toxic behavior and tacked on 3 more years to his sentence. Good job I guess.
Personally, I always like the "branding" of why someone is banned over there. I suppose we wouldn't have much variation if we had that.
It would basically just be "Being a faggot", "Being a fucktard" or both, 99% of the time.
Since when saying what happened in a forum can come off as personal attacks, toxic behaviour? I wonder how some people can think such a thing.
Hello my dearest fans.
I figure it is time to stop lurking and start acknowledging my adoring followers here.
It's true though I think Eiwynn probably disliked you for personal reasons
First things first: Let's put this rumor to bed ... I dislike lots of people and for various reasons ... DJ here, is someone I neither like nor dislike.
Gower, Endmaster, Mara and a few others I have interacted with on the other hand, I like for various reasons ... lol.
maybe she thought your selfie made you look like such a beta cuck incel
Is that a true selfie, or a selfie of a much younger relative? I'm sure he has reasons (whatever they may be) to use it.
Now that we have that out of the way ... if anyone has questions or concerns, I am here, now is the time for you to speak and ask questions.
I look forward to sniffing and snooping all over this site; I saw some articles posted by Gower I will be pursuing further. The use of quotes in American and British English is a good starting point. The knowledge I have learned will be good for characterization of my English characters ...
I see Mara has entered a couple of contests here; maybe I will too in the future but since I hate losing I dunno.
EndMaster -- I can help you come up with an interesting list for ban reasons if you desire. Hit me up in PM, I am sure we can think of some good ones together.
Hello; now that I have a few things updated I can turn back to this thread.
Absorbing me into the collective .... hmmm ... we'll take that project one step at a time, arm locked in arm as we skip down the yellow bricked path before us.
Endmaster -- Your place, your rules. You guys have treated Mara well here and I've seen her writing improve a lot, so thank you for that.
As for the various interactions, they were mostly in passing, so I'm not surprised they never registered as something to remember.
Your loss -- lol. Each to her own, and all that
I don't believe it. Say something only you would say.
i assume our conversation on the CoG forum the other day moved you to swing by? Lots of good games to play here.
Say something only you would say
I would say
"Ford is interested in some sort of shenanigans with you my friend." .... but we both know what would happen if I did that, wouldn't we.
So I won't.
Lots of good games to play here.
Indeed, I have been secretly reading Mara's games before joining the community here though, so my addiction began long ago, it seems.
I seriously wish you'd copy-paste you many guides and learning discussions from here to there... we need more good resources over there too.
I can't add any snark to this wisdom *curtsy*.... thanks Ford!
Odd, I don’t remember directly interacting much with Eiwynn before. I guess it might have been in the Video Game thread over there just in passing.
Thanks for the offer of various ban reasons, but we tend to have less varied reason for banning (As I said, its usually always the same anyway) and just do the forum spectacle of letting the public throw shit at them as they hang.
What should he do if he wants to become an anti-hero?
I had said already all i have to, there is no point in beating dead horse.
... there is no point in beating a dead horse.
Too bad you failed to follow your own advice, swat of the dead horse after swat of the dead horse.
I mean, shit, you even dragged the dead horse into another community and decided to give the dead beast a complete work-over once more.
Like you did when I did tell you that you were completely missunderstanding my post for example.
Im not the only one that should had follow that advice.
You are the one that kept ranting, even after being told to stop. I am not understanding this post, maybe Mara can help translate for us.
I'm not the only one that should follow that advise
Do tell ... please elaborate on this.
I mean that you are the one that did keep on ranting telling me I was being a "misogynist" when I did try my best to explain you that my entire post has nothing to do with that , so you are not in any way the one right here.
[Y]ou are the one that did keep on ranting telling me I was being a "misogynist"
I never once called you this. I did say you were showing male pride and machismo ... for insisting that women could never command men in Paul Wang's universe ... something demonstratively proven false, not only by the facts of the story written and explained to you by others but by Paul Wang himself saying you were wrong.
[Y]ou are not in any way the one right here
Still beating the dead horse. Whatever. You were banned three years over there... are you trying to get banned here too? Just curious because it does seem your rant is never ending.
And that's why i said you are missunderstanding, my post never had to do with womans not being able to command mens, it has to do with Welles never being able to command the mc because we are under Cunnaris command in the game, and for her to command us Welles has to be made Regimental commander of the Royal Dragons, something that is unlikely to happen in the game.
@Mizal -- he made himself the hero.
unlikely
does not mean:
never
See my last post for my reply to you ... this is pathetic. The horse is dead. The horse's ghost is dead.
How long is such ranting tolerated here @Gower, @Mara?
In other news: Hazelnuts! I found some hazelnuts to have for dessert instead of the Dove bars.
> How long is such ranting tolerated here
With you here now? Maybe it has another day left in it. You never know.
Hazelnuts can be eaten raw, but they take on a more mellow, sweeter character when they are roasted.
I don't have the correct tools to roast them properly, so raw it is tonight.
Now I just need to figure out what Netflix or Prime show to binge tonight. Too bad The Boys is not yet released.
Are you going to be bringing over your lessons from here to CoG at all?
The point is that won't happen, if Cunnaris die Renard take over, i think never or unlikely is good enough in this case since it won't happen.
What is pathetic is you trying to justify that and insult someone over game content.
Try to be more humble next time.
Actually, I think a sufficiently amusing rant is grounds for praise rather than banning here.
Is the beating of the horse and its ghost amusing?
Because she did insult me over her own misunderstanding, that has nothing to do with blaming "everyone who remotely seem feminine".
You are trying to make me sound like I have anything against woman but I don't.
My issue only was with her.
See the thing is I think a three year ban for the posts I saw was a little unreasonable
The original ban was for 2 weeks; once he flagged the post, everything was in the hands of another/others. I did say: if he flagged the post he would suffer the consequences.
he's just whining about you
A lot.
I guess with Mara and Meira ...
They both have passion and compassion.
I never flagged you, the 3 years ban is because of posting that here.
Hazelnuts are mostly cultivated in Turkey, Italy, Spain and the United States.
I publicly have your back and show a unified front regarding this matter.
Good! Perhaps a contest with the subject matter being hazelnuts is in the future... Think Mara could write something about poisoned hazelnut treats?
Who else are the accomplished writers here? Who else should I look into? (Assuming you'll name yourself as well but meh)
Thanks.
Awesome! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I also found out a friend is getting me Quantum Suicide, a game out in March.... it might be of interest to others here, so I thought I'd mention it.
Afk to check on Peppers and to enable dark mode!
I'm off to eat supper and to write.
The extension really adds a lot to the forum. Thank you for telling me about it.
Everyone have a good night.
Also, if anyone needs to talk to me, you are welcome to PM me at CoG or here.
ttyl.
Green or red pistachios? They grew them in California, so they were not as expensive before as they are now for me.
Dying the shell red or green covered up the stains. But today about 98 percent of pistachios sold in the U.S. are grown in California, where a more mechanized harvesting process means that the nuts are picked, hulled and dried before the shell has a chance to become stained, so there is no need to dye them.
A nut, Ford.
Cooking with dyed nuts add color to your dish ...

I suspect that if you hang around here long enough, you'll notice that people posting and complaining about their treatment at the hands of CoG is so typical as to be wholly beneath notice, to the point where it didn't even dawn on me to mention it to you. There's an entire thread from last year about my purported coddling of Sam and other stuff that I don't remember.
I suspect that if you hang around here long enough ...
I plan on staying. I'll need to start voting on all the stories and such I guess someday ... but not today.
I've heard there are some great readers that provide actionable feedback here and I've seen some of the resources I'll want to take advantage of here as well.
Just parsley stems and a crust of spelt bread. Sigh.
Stuffed Red Peppers with lamb and a silly side salad drenched in Ranch.
Chili and cornbread sounds good; I'll have to have that in next week's menu.
I knew I should not have been honest about that :P
:(
Sorry :(
If it is any consolation, I did run out of Dove bars, so I won't be enjoying chocolate or rich vanilla ice cream as well...
I'm actually reading the one you did recommend.
The one I liked most from EndMaster is Eternal, where the mc & the elf girl are together slowly dying.
How do you hide text behind spoilers here?
Calla la boca pinche puto cagabolas
Glad to leave the review --
Your detailed world exploration is what every RPG lover looks for and that the AAA companies (eg EA, Activision, Bethesda, etc) always ends up messing with in their games. If you ever do go for a million word Gower style game, your attention to detail and the ability to tie that detail from scene to scene will become a fan favorite feature of your writing.
Re: Nehal -- glad you caught the error. :hearts
"Once I began the game and I read the first few paragraphs, my initial thought was: Holy shit! I found the inspiration Sam used to write his MMM story ... I mean a love for a sister, an appreciation of kidnapping and torture. It all makes sense now." - Eiwynn
Hah, I fucking knew it and he claimed he never read anything of mine.
Anyway featured the new comment on Love SICK
The force is strong .... or is it: there is a disturbance in the force padawan?
Either way, I'm glad you received the feedback well :)
Thank you for featuring the feedback; maybe it will give people insight on why this project has merit and why sometimes things are written outside of norms.
I see.
This reminds me of the way batting practice was run on my jr. high softball team. People like djisma would get to swing at the neon yellow balls instead of the normal white balls. Good times indeed for some.
Me and a friend were talking about "the old days" and I think this is related because in "the old days" people like djisma would have been treated much differently in a place like this, where the values of the OG are emulated.
Even though this place is 20 years old, times have changed haven't they?
