This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

The Good Assyrian

Quote from: Benoist;556478I used to think the way you do but I am starting to have serious doubts about it. Whining and bitching endlessly, fine. Being outrageously insulting and then pretending people are just mean to you, fine. Posting storygames threads in the wrong forum, fine at first, less fine when I start suspecting it's done on purpose as a "fuck you" to the Pundit to start a new drama about it each time the thread gets moved. Using threads like this one to rehash the whole thing and use it as a platform to go on your private war against the Pundit, I'm starting to have trouble finding excuses for the whiner.

For a moderator to toss out the possibility of an accusation of site disruption is a serious thing.  Frankly this smacks of simply defining things you don't like as "site disruption", and that is total bullshit.

Ben, I love you as a poster, but you easily are the moderator with the most interventionist style.  That I don't love so much.  I believe that the site is better when self-regulated.  People are dealing with GW just fine without the seeming case being made for "site disruption".  That should be reserved for the truly egregious cases of such abuse in my opinion.  Otherwise we run the risk of moderation based on popularity. And we've all seen where that leads to...

Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

Yes, Sean Connery\'s thumb does indeed do megadamage. - Spinachcat

Isuldur is a badass because he stopped Sauron with a broken sword, but Iluvatar is the badass because he stopped Sauron with a hobbit. -Malleus Arianorum

What? You don't like her? I know she is more understated than Chelos or Racquel but her hat rocks.;)
Don\'t mess with cats we kill wizards in one blow.;)

I agree.

Not the case.

Quote from: The Good Assyrian;556579Ben, I love you as a poster, but you easily are the moderator with the most interventionist style.
I haven't intervened. I voiced my thoughts and doubts about GW's goal here.

I honestly think I sound more interventionist because I am more vocal about my thought process.

I'm cool with it. Different strokes and all.

Cool.  I think we are seeing eye to eye, then.

You guys started it with all the "Good, Bad, and The Ugly" and "The Magnificent Seven" avatars. I just wanted to join in on the fun.:D

I can't believe it took me to use the best cowboy avatar ever. He'd have just beat up Blondie, Tuco, and Angel Eyes while they were still eyeballing each other. :rant:

Also, Racquel was way hotter. Just saying...

I'm all for having a storygames ghetto, but the beating up of Ghost Whistler in this thread seems a little bit excessive.

Without a doubt but Oliva is far more understated and the hat is what makes it work. But I do have a couple of Racquel just in case the pure sex kitten mood strikes me.:)

No, he would have spent aimless hours hunting and capturing animals in Africa hoping to stumble upon a plot.
