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: Anon Adderlan;663384Oh, 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 :)
Kind of highlighting your own lack of cultural awareness here AA.

Did you get banned from rpgnet again?

Stop stirring shit - unless of course, you chose to ignore my clarification to Traveller. In which case, you're still stirring shit.

I dunno, I sort of think he has a point-- given the situation it's a pretty low blow.

Quote from: Larsdangly;786974An encounter with a weird and potentially life threatening monster is not game wrecking. It is the game.

Currently panhandling for my transition/medical bills.

A killing insult in one culture is simple camaraderie in another, and the UK does have quite a different culture to the US. I wouldn't consider it a big deal to be honest, OHT probably never even gave it a thought. This is particularly salient given AA's proclivities towards trolling this site and kicking up trouble wherever he can. I don't honestly think any harm was intended.

Yeah, I don't think it was malice, just a spectacularly unfortunate choice of phrasing.

If everyone apologized for saying something careless on this site, we'd have about 3 posts on each thread.

I'm not going to treat this thread as any different from any other - in the spirit of the ConTessa convention itself.

It's the first day of the Con.

They've got their first game up on YouTube.  It's using Feng Shui RPG.

Be on the lookout for more events!

I'm impressed with the list of events.  d6 Star Wars, LotFP, Pathfinder, old school stuff.....

Videos of people playing RPGs online might just be the saddest thing ever.

RPGs at the table just look painful on video, but the headset elves are agony on the eyes and can't be good PR.

That sucks, LL.  Which ones were yours on the sched?

I'm on the panel Monday for "Kids & RPGs" - should be fun.
Wampus Country - Whimsical tales on the fantasy frontier

"Describing Erik Jensen\'s Wampus Country setting is difficult"  -- Grognardia

"Well worth reading."  -- Steve Winter

"...seriously nifty stuff..." -- Bruce Baugh

"[Erik is] the Carrot-Top of role-playing games." -- Jared Sorensen, who probably meant it as an insult, but screw that guy.

"Next con I\'m playing in Wampus."  -- Harley Stroh
