Poll: Should KQ stay dead?

[Numbers]

I never saw it as a punch, I saw it as a swipe of his claws.

Watch it again. He goes Rocky Balboa on your ass. Besides, "a swipe of his claws" isn't nearly funny enough.

Anyone else notice another funny death at the end of the game? When Mordack is a snake, try to cast the rain spell. HE WILL BITE YOU IN THE CROTCH.

[Bludshot]

Nice Mordack, you can force choke anyone you want, but no, go for the cobracrotch assault.

Too bad he never turns into a space hamster and attacks Graham's eyes.

[GrahamRocks!]

Wouldn't he turn into a Combat Drone not a Space Hamster?

[Icerose]

no i wish to see more adventures with kq and play new adventures with all characters, and i personally think the characters has enough potiential to write great new stories i always wanted to continune in ever kings quest game i have been playing.
So why stop that?kings quest is simple put but whats so bad about it? i would love to see after the silver lining, do see rosella and alexander in action again and wouldnt it be nice if you could have the chance to play valanice again?only in kq7 it was one time possible to play with her, i think the silver lining gives now the whole story line a  new more complex and deep storyline witch opens the way for more possibles and more great stories to come.

Why would you want to see what happens after TSL when you don't even know how it's going to end? For all we know, Graham could be dead by the end of the game. Personally, I think TSL should just stay the finale for KQ; otherwise, we would be having too much of a good thing. I want TSL episode 5 to come out, Kingdom of Sorrow eventually, and nothing else. KQ has suffered enough.

[Icerose]

Thats your opinion as i said more and new stories with the other character would be great.
Who says that the have to suffer again? as a fact the characters are suffering that much because of the new storyline in the episodes, you can always change the story or write good and entertaining stories without to much suffering for the game characters.
I think the voting poll is clear there are for sure more people who want kq to continue on as only were in this thread people who didnt want that, well let me say it straight your opinion, but that is not what everybody else wants.

[Numbers]

Okay, first things first.

You obviously didn't read my post very carefully. I said that the King's Quest franchise as a whole has suffered, not the characters. With how bipolar the series' tone ended up being, there is a very, VERY slim chance of you finding anybody out there who was satisfied with all of the games. As a matter of fact, I'd say that most people have a game in the series that they regard as great (KQ6, for most people), one that counts as a guilty pleasure (KQ5, for example), and most of the games in the franchise they won't care if they ever play again. I'm definitely not planning on replaying most of the games anytime soon.

Second, the "suffering" of the characters. That's part of a plot. There has to be some stress for our heroes to be under, some ever-present danger, some antagonistic force that puts them under pressure, thereby causing suffering in some way or another. Characters--especially the protagonists--must always suffer in some way, or else there is no plot, and by extension, no purpose. You cannot come up with a new story in a franchise without coming up with new dangers that put your characters in peril. Suffering is part of the story. That's just how it is.

Finally...

I think the voting poll is clear there are for sure more people who want kq to continue on as only were in this thread people who didnt want that, well let me say it straight your opinion, but that is not what everybody else wants.

Ah, the "you're in the minority so your opinion doesn't count" mentality. Let me tell you something, if I ever thought about how many times I'm in the minority in some way or another, I would never have come onto this forum in the first place. I wouldn't want to share my opinion because what do a bunch of strangers on a forum care about what some a-hole like me thinks? But that didn't stop me. We've had a lot of good back-and-forth arguments on this forum, with nobody ever coming out a clear victor, but we had fun while it lasted. Everyone in this forum is just themselves. And now, you have the audacity to suggest that my opinion on something matters less just because I'm in the minority?

[Icerose]

I personally think if you dont want to hear other opionons why open this thread?
Why make poll if you surely thinks what the most people wants and wish for doesnt count?!
Oh yeah they were suffering that much well let me tell you something as a fact i never saw the characters suffering and getting hurting than much then in the episodes of the silver lining so it almost pained me to see what they were going through!

All of the Kings Quest had a nice atmosphere not let them suffer from the end to the beginning and every episodes at the of the silver lining it was looking like things getting worse at least roberta williams gave all her characters in the end a happy ending but you seemed to like theme struggeling over and over again?i can only laugh about it about the things you said to me oh yeah kq6 was kind of cruel and kq7 i am not listening anymore to this games speaks for itself and all of the kings quest games had some humor parts in it much more than the episodes had so dont tell me its soo much suffering for the characters to create new stories ok?!
I must not agree with your opinion accept it and now coming up with minority lol whats the matter dont like the fact to see that more people like you would love to play a new kings quest game?to bad there are more people who wishes for that then a handful of people think naah let it rest in peace if you think that way why did you created the silver linings?
It doesnt fit to what you defend, its not of imporantance as what how many people thinks and what one sinlge person thinks, but if what all you people did in this thread was telling kings quest better should stay dead after the silver linings, you  cant handle critic and as a fact the poll shows that there are enough people who doesnt agree with your opinion and wishing for more kinqs quest game to come, and thats what the poll is clearly showing than this is your problem to deal with not mine anymore and i will not myself anger  about it anymore.
And as for the minority werent the more people saying in this thread kings quest should stay dead?as a fact it is so i can say which is really in the minority place me and that my opinion doesnt count and i will not defend it anymore.

[Numbers]

Oh, man! That was great! Just what I needed to start my day! I smell a ban coming through.

Whenever I get butthurt about something, I at least know how to convey myself. But you?...were you even trying to make any sense? I could tell from just the first two sentences how nonsensical your retort was going to be. Either way, it was hilarious as all hell.

Besides, we all know what King's Quest post-TSL would be like...

[Icerose]

sure i will not answer anymore you accept only your opinion not my problem anymore.
Must be a bad thing when so much people voted for a more Kinga quest Game to came out for you to  see after you all you have been supported so much in your opinion your behaviour is worse and i dont care anymore.
To bad the people who thinks Kings Quest should go on on not tried to post their mind why they are thinkings this, now wonders they didnt try..  people like you think they are the best and only there kind of thinking well keep thinking that way but that is not how the world works.
You can ignore the facts for as long as you live but guess what it wont change the fact that 13 people including me are not agreeing with your opinion but it seems sadly no one had the courage to say why after all you people did in here than was to say why it should better be stay dead no wonder the didnt say a thing anymore,because you can see what happens when someone like me did, and nope we didnt know what would happens when the silver line come out this was all in the hands of the producers from kings quest the silver Lining so stop i already like you know everything thats just swanky.

Icerose - Just because someone's opinion is in the minority, it does not make them "wrong" in some way. The question here of whether KQ should stay dead is purely opinion-based and there's no basis for any answer to that question becoming "fact" in any way. There's no need to start any argument over it or repeatedly point out that someone else's opinion is in the minority. That's perfectly acceptable and we expect everyone to be civil around here, even when they disagree.

[Icerose]

Sry i will not agree with that kings Quest should be dead because most of the people said it here accept it ok?
I said why Kinga Quest could go on and thats my opinion you can disscuss  the more than you want i have my opnion and i will not throw it away from me because i am the first person the said ins this thread no it shouldnt stay dead and now just leave me alone!
I had enough arguments why i shouldnt stay dead it is my fault for people not accepting it? i accept your opinion to this if you cant do this with other people better stay away from them because your knowledge and your mind is NOT absolut and my behaviour was ok, but hey better i dont post here anyhting at all  anymore because people that dont agree with you and critism does not seem to be welcomed and i am not interested in that anymore.

[wilco64256]

Just to clarify - my post was not meant to be demeaning of anybody's opinion. I personally don't care either way. I'm merely posting in my role as moderator asking that you be respectful of the opinions of others. It wasn't really necessary for you to resurrect a thread that hadn't seen any action in eight months and start an argument about it, and I'm officially asking you not to do so again.

You're welcome to whatever opinion you want, but there's no need to be snippy with other people who disagree.

[snabbott]

Yeah - it's a good thing when people have different opinions. Otherwise, life would get really boring. It's important to treat others respectfully, though.

I didnt mean to pull out back old threads and i didn realized its an old thread if that is the fact better put it to the archives??
I just wanted to say my opnion to this thread and discuss it thats all.

[Numbers]

i dont care anymore.

and now just leave me alone!

Oh my god...you're Tommy Wiseau! Oh man, I have so many questions for you!

In all seriousness, stop acting like you're a victim. You've only posted 23 times on this forum as of the time of this writing, and already your "woe is me" shtick is getting old.

people like you think they are the best and only there kind of thinking well keep thinking that way but that is not how the world works.

Trust me, I don't know you at all and I already know for a certainty that you don't know a thing about how the world works. It also appears you're projecting your own personality flaws onto others just because they think differently. You know who else wanted everyone to think exactly the same?...Nazis. Yep, I just went there.

You can ignore the facts for as long as you live but guess what it wont change the fact that 13 people including me are not agreeing with your opinion

Yep, because we all know an obscure online poll made by and for a fan community reflects the opinions of everyone in real life.

so stop i already like you know everything thats just swanky.

...I don't believe your improper use of the word "swanky" needs to be addressed.

I had enough arguments why i shouldnt stay dead it is my fault for people not accepting it?

It's definitely your fault for not accepting people committing the horrible crime of not mindlessly agreeing to everything 100% of the time.

my behaviour was ok, but hey better i dont post here anyhting at all  anymore

No. Your behavior was not okay, for reasons already outlined. I expressed my own opinion, you reacted negatively without even reading my post carefully, I clarified, and you started ranting. That is not how you're supposed to do things on a forum. I made a similar mistake on this forum not too long ago, and was warned about my behavior, and I learned a lesson from my mistake. You'd be wise to do the same. And if not...maybe you shouldn't post here. Either way, I'm done talking to you.

[Icerose]

yupp  to compare with nazis is such a geat behaviour and i was accting so bad telling you that there are more people who wants kings Quest to live on than to see it dead forver and ever oh my i am such a bad person.
I am so terrible for having a different opinion as you, you pushed yourself in the minority place so everyone could see your the poor minority guy, you pushed yourself to the minority chair,  i didnt do this it was YOU!
For what reason did you that to get more poeple that would agree with you?if you dont like the facts than better dont look at it i was just speaking it out, as how it is and as the poll says,and i am such an a******..why dont we all have mercy with you, because i don want to agree with you ?
Really ive had it  with you, you  will not get anymore answers from me!

[Intendant S]

Look guys, can we please keep this discussion civil?  It's fine to have an opinion and debate all points, but it's rather inappropriate to be attacking each other like this.  Don't make me turn this thread around.

[Icerose]

Sry for that, but i dont have anymore to say to him, for me the discussion is over, i was sarcastic in the last post and i admit that, for me the fun is over if someone else wants to disscuss with him fine, for me its settled.

[KatieHal]

Let's show 'em what they've won--a locked thread!

No name-calling. And be respectful of one another. These are basic forum rules, and everyone, including both of you, is expected to abide by them.
