I think it was the most autistic game argument I've ever witnessed. They were referencing everything from the monster manual to Ghostbuster lyrics.

would like to play with them desu
stuff like this is why i love boardgames
A little nugget of wholesome geekiness. Wish I was there to see
Why did they decide she was a ghost?
Why did they think she's sleeping (instead of just repeating the motions of an action, as ghosts do)?
Was the woman also giant, or only the bed?
What was she wearing?
Was she hot?
Did it occur to ask that last two questions?
Hahahaha shit like this is just hilarious to me. We had a campaign going once with some players and we have this awesome battle going on from the docks of a city that sprawled onto a ship the PC's were attacking in order to steal and escape. So what does the fucking autistic Paladin tank decide to do? He spends seriously 5 full fucking turns trying to talk to a fucking crab that was walking on the deck about where "to find the dolphins". Anytime I tried to skip over his turn going, "okay man are you just going to do the samething? Roll and let's go" he'd throw a fucking fit and demand to know where "the dolphins" were.
>Ghostbuster lyrics.
He's right though, the lyrics are very clear that the invisible man is sleeping in your bed. Argument should have ended there.
But is the invisible man a ghost?
Well? Can they?
>Was she hot?
Dude, all ghosts are cold, I can prove it with extensive evidence from the monster manual, monster girl encyclopedia, 19th century occult literature and Ghostbuster lyrics.
...
But can you sleep with a cute ghost girl?
Why else would he be in a ghost busters lyrics?
I could never tell whether that pic is supposed to be praising or criticising Veeky Forums, though you being a namefag suggests the later I think
Why does it need to be a judgement on Veeky Forums? Can't it just be a statement in and of itself?
The ghostbusters are a paranormal investigation and elimination service. They deal with much more than just ghosts. Even the Stay-puffed Marshmallow man wasn't a ghost.
This is false, the abortion thread hit over 200 replies before being deleted
Still, it establishes that a spectral entity can in fact sleep. The woman from the OP can very easily be a variation of that, and therefore it's sufficient enough to serve as proof for our original premise.
>Still, it establishes that a spectral entity can in fact sleep.
Invisible men are not necessarily spectral. In fact, the most famous Invisible Man is decisively not a ghost.
Actually the former.
>Can't it just be a statement in and of itself?
But yes.
Because it was a /pol/troll thread from the beginning, we smelled the bait and posted tits instead.
I dunno, that looks like a fun, rousing conversation where shit's getting done at that table.
If ghosts could sleep, wouldn't they not be ghosts? I assume the whole "Eternal Rest" thing is what ghosts have when they stop shitting up the physical plane with their angst and excuses for attachment.
This is easily the most believable greentexted roleplaying story I have ever seen on Veeky Forums.
At least until necromancers come along, and "Disturb their Slumber".
Pure assholes, those necromancers, sometimes.
And, what were the results of the arguement.
I think I'd lean towards yes, sorta a "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin" thing.
Not to say that the translucent woman was even a ghost.
>If ghosts could sleep, wouldn't they not be ghosts? I assume the whole "Eternal Rest" thing is what ghosts have when they stop shitting up the physical plane with their angst and excuses for attachment.
I thought “Eternal Rest” was something distinct from normal sleep— possibly just a euphemism for “stop shitting up the physical plane.”
Anyway, why CAN’T a ghost sleep? Obviously they don’t REQUIRE sleep, but if a ghost decides to take a nap, what’s stopping it from doing so?
Also, if ghosts can sleep, do they have dreams?
Lazy ghosts need a wake up call
Sleeping for hundreds of years at a time doesn't make for being a productive member of society.
>tfw no Drill Sergent Necromancer who dresses down lazy undead
I'd think that they can attempt to nap, but since they don't exactly have a physical body, they won't get much of a sensation of physical comfort from beds or train station benches, and it'd mostly just be a mockery of sleep.
I'm not sure the ghosts themselves would be very useful - get some physical vessels for 'em, then they can be useful and do some labor.
Ghosts are a human consciousness. How can they go unconscious?
>I'm not sure the ghosts themselves would be very useful
Best recon units and spotters.
Not having a body is no excuse to shirk your duties.
>Ghosts are a human consciousness.
False, they still have an ectoplasm body.
That's a fair point.
Surely with enough time in service they can earn a physical shell and move up from recon to intensive manual labor!

The context of the painting is that its a bunch of dudes figuring out the most vulgar and hilarious way to tell a dude to fuck off. And having a fan-fucking-tastic time doing it.
I just noticed That Fucking Elf in the background. Very good, sir.

Really, newfag?
Y'know what OP, after weeks of

>D&D (3.PF) hate
>Martial vs. Caster wankery
>I love/hate quests bait
>Meta Threads
>/pol/ invasions
>-4 STR LMAO
and other forms of low quality bait threads, yours gets a pass just because it's light-hearted banter as opposed to watching the same 4-6 trolls shitting on faux intellectuals who "know how to make Veeky Forums great again...by feeding trolls"
Good on you mate, good on you.
It really does encapsulate the entire Veeky Forums experience, doesn't it?
As a GMs rule, GM says so it goes. If some lore whoring spergmomster went full autistic mode on me about ghost lore, after like 2 minutes I'd properly shit that shit down. Who fucking cares? If the player really kept pushing the point I'd ask them where their character learned about ghosts? If they were a Ghost specialist to the top degree or even if they have ever been a Ghost...any answers would just be shot down and if they keep going, I would end their game life on spot. Magical retardation for an hour or divine interjection causing them to spas out uncontrollably until they fall from a window hanging over the cliffside. Player logic loses to GM logic
That is literally the most retarded shit has the right idea.
>I'd think that they can attempt to nap, but since they don't exactly have a physical body, they won't get much of a sensation of physical comfort from beds or train station benches, and it'd mostly just be a mockery of sleep.
In other words, they can sleep, but they can’t be comfy? That sounds horrible.
ITT: OP posts, telling Veeky Forums about a 40 minute argument; Veeky Forums proceeds to argue about it for over 6 hours.
>look at me, I'm a retard who cares more about the game than having fun with my friends
Casper and the ghostly trio slept on multiple occasions both on and off screen
He was the hidden 5th Ghostbusters. He was in every movie, even made a cameo in the reboot
Kek
Sounds like the Scary Movie 3 argument
>”Nigga, how can you wake up dead?!”
I kinda like the idea ghosts can't sleep plays into the idea that being a ghost sucks, you're just there all the time and shits boring
Still, the lady could have just been pretending to sleep or pantomiming it to pass the time
