A letter to Mr. Smedley

[Charred]

I want this letter to serve as an oasis of sanity in Mr. Smedley's desert of foolishness. If you disagree with my claim that an increasing number of people abhor Smedley's insidious catch-phrases and are looking for alternatives, like the truth, then read no further. Smedley's understrappers are unified under a common goal. That goal is to promote the rapacious orations of impolitic schnooks. Smedley has planted his cultists everywhere. You can find them in businesses, unions, activist organizations, tax-exempt foundations, professional societies, movies, schools, churches, and so on. Not only does this subversive approach enhance Smedley's ability to utilize unfathomable brutality against his castigators, but it also provides irrefutable evidence that he tries to assert his autonomy by attempting to make bribery legal and part of business as usual. But what, you may ask, does any of that have to do with the theme of this letter, viz., that we must not miss our chance to improve the lot of humankind? It is bootless to speculate on the matter, but it should be noted that people who believe that it is Smedley's moral imperative to crucify us on the cross of nonrepresentationalism need to be worked over with an oak table leg and then sentenced to 20 years of hard labor in order to straighten out their thinking. Disguised in this drollery is an important message: The irony is that his most malign epigrams are also his most unpatriotic. As the French say, "Les extremes se touchent."

As is often the case, Smedley is utterly gung-ho about mandarinism because he lacks more pressing soapbox issues. He loves using big words like "interdifferentiation" and "honorificabilitudinity". As a result, he writes like a mentally ill person with a thesaurus. That got me thinking: Perhaps the memoirs that Smedley's minions are so proud of are woefully evil. Let's be sure that I've made myself absolutely clear: I have no interest in getting tangled in the rhetoric or dogma that Smedley frequently pushes. Sadly, lack of space prevents me from elaborating further. Unfortunately, I can already see the response to this letter. Someone, possibly Mr. Smedley himself or one of his cult followers, will write a dotty piece about how utterly abusive I am. If that's the case, then so be it. What I just wrote sorely needed to be written.

Do I agree or..?

A Letter to Charred:

Keep calm. The mushrooms will wear off in a few hours. You'll be fine.

[ChipMHazard]

You're utterly abusive... And I am writing this on my own free *gun cocks* will.

[Piper]

are looking for alternatives

Last one to make it to the San Diego HQ with a farming implement of your choice or flaiming torch is a big girls blouse!

Only we can overthrow the regime and install a better one!

[dafuq]

where are the tittis at?

[Sephirex]

This isn't a letter to Smedley, at all.
It doesn't even have "Dear Smedley" in it.

I agree with the part about the cultists though.
I see them outside my house every night. In the moonligh, I can sometimes see a young woman strapped to an altar, her life's blood dripping onto the latest build of Planetside 2.

It would seem the Eldritch MMO gods were not pleased last night.

[Sledgecrushr]

I think that sums it up for me as well.

[Rago]

I like Smed and i think its childish to Complain about this.

Did you ever work in your life ? If theres Problem they need to fixe it first, nothing wrong with that.

I also dont sell my Customers stuff, that does not work.To Test a Program called Game needs Testers.

Work is Work.If you want me call a Cult Follower do so, im a Adult.I have a Life and i have lots of work.

I think you showed what you think.Fine with me.I just do not agree

[Hosp]

No alcohol was harmed in the creation of this letter.

[Vash02]

Another one of those boring generated arguments.

[Apis]

I think this letter is trying to say that the writer is tried of vague messages from Smedley/SOE. If so I disagree. I work in research and I wish we had a better way to predict the future in order to determine how well a project will go and how much it will cost. Complications and delays are inevitable. Let these people do their jobs and live their lives(which they're probably not getting much time to do). My dorky gamer impulses can wait. And by the way I look forward to helping the dev's make PS2 better in Beta.

[Papscal]

WTF just happened?

[AimlessSpectre]

What?.....

[Gugabalog]

^ And all I want is to play.

I just wanan do my thing, you want change, and the other guy wants unification.

[Apis]

[feuerdog]

Damn you, now I want Chinese food.

This.

[NewSith]

"OMG I'M NOT IN BETA YOU OWE IT TO ME!", again? Sorry, TL;DR...

[dafuq]

the formular is very easy

increase hype with announcing beta and other stuff
=
more $

[Mox]

Smed is just a troll. The answer is simple: Never belief a word of him. THat's also the case regarding his anouncement for the start next friday or monday or whatever.

By the way dont follow ps2 at twitter or FB. There is only a huge shitstorm.

[Sturmhardt]

Haha, poetic :)

[Bruttal]

am confused I didn't get this letter, is he raging about not beta not starting yet?. If hes really that dissatisfied then why bother even posting about it just stop playing all soe games.

personally I know what happens this is why they never wanted to give us a beta date in the first place.

[Apis]

Dammit website lagged hard on me 3rd repeat post sry all

[ShadoViper]

He loves using big words like "interdifferentiation" and "honorificabilitudinity". As a result, he writes like a mentally ill person with a thesaurus.

Here's the summary of the op's ironic post. You're welcome guys.

[basti]

Mind to write it so it makes sense?

[Turdicus]

Hmm yes but what about the perpetual use of horrid imperatives in attempts to enslave the will of the blindly loyal sheep masses?

[Eyeklops]

he writes like a mentally ill person with a thesaurus.
Interesting, I kind of felt the same way.

Your unabashed ability to sally-forth and conjure up egregious amounts of the most intellectually scant, mentally exasperating material ever viewed upon this electronic medium has therefore, and henceforth, situated you deeply within the circle of plebeian nescients commonly seen here. Good job Private.

[Trolltaxi]

Having paranoia doesn't mean that you are not being chased. Good news that you are safe most of the times though.

BTW what did you want to achieve with this post? Just curious.

It may be Smedley's alterego, an Evilsmed (or according to the OP, this is the Goodsmed and the one we know is the evil one) trying to undermine his social creditability... But even this Evil Twin is using the same stylar elements to impress...Who knows?

Basti feeding a huge troll - now that's something! :) :popcorn:

[VaderShake]

As the French say, "Les extremes se touchent."



Ok....anytime someone quotes the French as a people I am forced to completely disagree with them and discount them as a complete idiot.

Just sayin...

[Sledgecrushr]

Its absolutely nuts and I love it. I think its funny.

[capiqu]

Yup read it all. At least i think I did. My brain was lagging.

[QuantumMechanic]

I emphatically agree with the OP. I think.

Are you saying I am the evil-twin..or the OP? :confused:

[Trolltaxi]

Are you saying I am the evil-twin..or the OP? :confused:

And think further mate! The OP is the Evil Twin of Smed, so.... you are Smed.

When is beta opening, Mr. Smedley? :lol:

[Sirro]

I find this rant both shallow And pedantic

Good day sir

[PredatorFour]

OH NO I CANT WAIT A WEEK OR TWO FOR BETA.... IM GOING TO GO CRY AND CRY AND CRY . Get a grip man or as the french say, "ou est le jambon".

[PvtHazard]

Poor Smedly he doesn't deserve this abuse.

[Tsunami]

Mind to write it so it makes sense?

lmfao

[Eyeklops]

And think further mate! The OP is the Evil Twin of Smed, so.... you are Smed.

AWESOME!...when do I get my SOE executive paycheck?

[Graywolves]

Before sending this letter you might want to delete the whole thing, think about what you're trying to say, and type it again.

[Zotfripper]

I read that whole thing.

Where is the letter?

[Firefly]

At no point was that original post remotely coherent, even though it contained a shitload of fifty-cent words.

He loves using big words like "interdifferentiation" and "honorificabilitudinity"
The irony is you lambaste him for this, but your fat bricks of text are interlaced with a whole slew of words you either wholesale ripped from an unused "Word of the Day" calendar, or felt the need to flip randomly through the dictionary.

What, exactly, was the point? Use language that doesn't seem like you're trying hard to be a Poindexter. I mean, seriously... that fucking post made zero sense, and I understood every fifty-cent word in there as well as the intended context of said words.
