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.

Quote from: One Horse Town;662494That it would be nice if they'd swung by a bit more. I'm not suggesting it was a take the money and run kind of deal, otherwise the con wouldn't have been started up in the first place without a funding option, would it?

I'm sorry, was there something said here that needed a response from me? I've been a bit busy planning a convention, not really a lot of time for chit chat. :)

I'd be really glad if Contessa posts here regularly, and keeps being a regular poster long after the (first?) Con, but I don't think putting pressure on her while she's organizing a Con is the way to do that, is all. And this thread, after all, was about supporting the Con and its organizer, not about us, as such.  That's all I'm saying.

You mean maybe a complulsive TRAVELLER GM?


That used to be 'me' years ago. TRAVELLER was the only thing I would run for people.

Quote from: One Horse Town;662325While true, i notice that since the money started rolling in, we've seen no sign of ConTessa here.

First, you do this site no favors with these comments. It was less than a week, and this site is just not that important.

Second, out of all the possible contexts, you found it appropriate to accuse Pundit of acting like a 'cunt' here? Really, out of the entire English language, there wasn't another word you could have used which might not have been as directly depreciative of women, in a thread about a convention run by/for women? Seriously?

As a mod you represent this site, and managed to enforce every negative stereotype its known for. I think you should explain yourself, or at the very least apologize.

OHT is english, and in old blighty cunt doesn't have nearly the negative overtones it does for americans. It would be like someone calling someone else motherfucker.

If on the other hand I was to say 'anon adderlan or chaos voyager or whatever you're calling yourself these days, the best part of you ran down your mother's leg when your father kicked her in the gee after yanking the chimp off himself over a photo of justin bieber and spilling the results on his boots in a drunken rage', that would be considerably more insulting.

The more you know.

He should've called him a berk, obviously.

Anglo Saxons and their grading of insults, am I right or am I right?

I thought it kind of originated in England, what with the flipped victory sign being the fighting words and all.
Furthermore, I consider that  This is Why We Don\'t Like You thread should be closed

Eh try pouring a Russian's drink over your wrist and see how far you get. They say it's unlucky, which is accurate, it's quite unlucky to be beaten up by a bunch of Russians. Not to mention telling a French woman to close her mouth, we nearly had an international incident over that last time I visited Bretagne.

Nuances, nuances.

The sad sack is on a holiday from RPGnet, and he likes to try to lord it over us here - holier than thou and all that.

I didn't have him down as one of the outrage brigade though.

Anyway, in the spirit of reconciliation, i'm sorry Pundit. ;)

Oh, regional excuses. I love those.

Seriously, if your cultural awareness only extends to the borders of your own country, then you shouldn't be posting on the internet.

I just found it quite amusing that his choice of words, after insinuating that ConTessa was only in it for the money (which seriously, WTF?), was 'cunt' instead of 'dick' or 'ass' or other various anatomy :)

Alright, that's pretty much my knowledge of it.
