Keep in mind that the most prestigous of individuals gracefully bow out after they are long past their prime.

Funny, by who. 3-4 guys on the site? Because I doubt people would found it funny .
Bimmy is funny. But it belongs in the DD3 movie description since it is from that game.

JXQ: What do you mean? Vatchern: Yes, that's what I already explained at irc channel. In DD3 description, it would be funny.

I agree with Vatchern and Phil there, Bimmy has no place in a DD2 description, it's just confusing.

Phil, I can't even decipher half of your argument, so don't expect me to reword mine at a grade-school level for you.

Kyrsimys, Considering the fact that there was a pretty huge fight when Phil edited JXQ's description/JXQ edited Phil's description, do you really think it was a wise move to jump right in to the editing circle at this point? After Bisqwit basically told everyone to stop editing other people's stuff and discuss it here instead.

In changing the description, I did not take anyone's side. I'm on the side of the movie description. For reasons I already stated, I found it best to change it. And yes, I still do think it was for the best. EDIT: And I didn't touch Bimmy and Jimmy, I just removed the other part.

JXQ: Be it. Your know you are wrong. Do you think by discrediting me, Bimmy will be added in DD2 description?

Kyrsimys, did you PM Phil with this change? I hope so, because he demanded as such. (However, PMing me is not necessary, since I have not contributed as long as Phil) You seriously think people would get confused reading a description with Bimmy as the name when it's linked to a relevant screenshot? Does the audience consist of an army of dunces?

I believe that what JXQ is trying to say there is that you staying in this thread makes you look worse, and won't help your arguement. Furthermore, it gives people who are prone to insulting more fodder to use, because now you appear weak-willed for stating the intention to leave to leave, and then not leaving. PS: If this carries on between phil and JXQ + Fabian, I think a forum mod is going to have to split this arguement out into off-topic.
How fleeting are all human passions compared with the massive continuity of ducks.

Dunces, who, although navigating to the movie page without trouble, lack the ability to click a link. Brilliant.

Phil, woah. I don't care very much about that joke. Here's what I care more about (quote from earlier): "I think it's very irresponsible of you to edit other people's movie descriptions as you please, just because you don't think they're funny or you think they're stupid or you have a personal attachement to the game or whatever. Kinda an abuse of power, I mean it's not like you're the highest authority around here and overruled some random shitty publisher's shitty movie description. And it's not like jokes are unheard of in movie descriptions either, as Truncated pointed out: [22:22:11] <Truncated> plenty of descriptions joke about the game [22:22:42] <Truncated> for example, mario does not really go on a furious killing spree because he has eaten too many poisonus mushrooms. [22:22:47] <Truncated> just to name one. If you feel you're right strongly enough, by all means start a discussion saying you think this joke isn't funny enough and see what the general opinion is. Don't go editing stuff in any way you please without taking it up with the people responsible for it though. That's pretty shitty."

Lies. I only ask people to talk with me for good reasons to us Bimmy instead of Billy.

Well, I hope that other movie descriptions are treated accordingly. All jokes that don't specifically refer to factual events in that particular game should be removed, for we wouldn't want to confuse our (apparently, fucking stupid) audience.

Just wanted to clarify for everyone who might see this as sarcastic, that if this is not what happens after this discussion, it will be tough to argue that the irresponsible abuse in editing displayed by Phil, what I wrote about in the second post of the thread, is false.

What if I rename Mario by Wario?

So, because people don't know about Bimmy in DD3 are apparently fucking stupid?

That's why I linked to a SCREENSHOT. And still, jokes have no place. I've learned this from you, Bisqwit, and Kyrsimys. Phil, I expect you to correct your SMB2 description with the same haste you did to DD2. Unless, that is, you're a giant hypocrite.

How do people know that SCREENSHOT comes from DD3 instead of DD2? SMB2?

SMB2: http://tasvideos.org/754M.html Mario did not go on a killing frenzy after eating poisonous mushrooms. This factually incorrect and frankly unfunny description will confuse our viewers and should be attended to by you at once. And it doesn't matter if it's from DD2 or DD3, that's the whole point of a JOKE. It's not the current edit that has me so annoyed. It's your superiority bullshit that you flaunt all over the place.

SMB2 description updated. No more jokes allowed in movie descriptions without gigantic blatant warnings so that no one will confuse tiny ir/relevant as fact.

Phil's Edit wrote:
Mario has eaten too many poisonous mushrooms and as a result, decided to go on a furious killing spree. In this berserker state he has also gained the new secret ability to walk through walls at will. NOTE THAT THIS IS A JOKE. MARIO DID NOT (FACTUALLY) EAT ANY POISONOUS MUSHROOMS. HIS ABILITY TO MOVE THROUGH WALLS IS ACTUALLY DUE TO A CLEVER GLITCH IN THE PROGRAMMING, NOT A BYPRODUCT OF A "BERSERKER STATE."
Edit: Hmm, the English does seem to good to be Phil's work...

This should be more than enough to revoke Phil's editor status. Now if I were as immature as Phil, I'd re-edit DD2's description to its original + screenshot + this hideous disclaimer.
I did that you jerk. Don't get my editor status revoked!
