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.

Why should you get banned, Balbinus?

It was just a joke, and a little misunderstanding.
Grając zaś w grę komputerową, być może zdarzyło się wam zapragnąć zejść z wyznaczonej przez autorów ścieżki i, miast zabić smoka i ożenić się z księżniczką, zabić księżniczkę i ożenić się ze smokiem.

Nihil sine magno labore vita dedit mortalibus.

And by your sword shall you live and serve thy brother, and it shall come to pass when you have dominion, you will break Jacob's yoke from your neck.

Dios, que buen vasallo, si tuviese buen señor!

Thankfully KF stepped in, I just had this vision of triggering some awful inter-board flamewar.

It seemed more apposite to discuss it here rather than there, especially since Off Topic is essentially the rpg.net discussion forum hereabouts.

Somehow, I feel that cool heads will prevail, and nothing bad will sprout of this. :)

And besides, I found it funny. ;)

Man.  I thought that pile of severed human baby heads in your backyard was bad, but joking about GNS????  Good God!

It took me a while to realise Jocelyn was serious, I wasn't sure at first and I didn't want to kill the thread with an apology.

Then I realised that he was and had really misread me, and I genuinely had horrible visions of some dreadful flamewar leading to many flameouts and bannings following which some mod would look around and say "hey, we've lost half the board, who started this shitstorm?"

That's the thing with rpg.net, there are so many posters there that someone is always bound not to get the context, hence I guess the need for the moderation.

See, this is why I'm never honest about how crappy my gaming style is. IT's probably worse than anything GNS has to offer, but I can't understand GNS enough to be sure.

Just lie and tell everyone you're the greatest. That's how forums work. When you screw up and try to be truthful, even if humorous, people don't know how to take it and a firestorm erupts.

For what it's worth, I thought it was funny.  ;)
(The initial joke, not the panic thread.)

Yeah, I thought the initial joke was funny too.

I thought the panicked reaction was hilarious!

Like you, I don't care for using smileys and emoticons either.  But if there was a smiley that represents the respectful slow clap, followed by slowly standing up while clapping more and more vigorously into fullblown applause, I'd be using it right now.

Just followed that link ...read that other thread over there.

 Thats fucking priceless!!  

 As "dense" as some people think I might be - even I got the joke of that initial post.
 That is  just too hilarious.

There's been a trouble ticket started over it, if anyone's curious.

Somehow Pundit even got mentioned.
