Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

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.

Ok, this is the name of the game: I will have a discussion panel with three people of my choosing based on who volunteers for the job on this thread.

After that, we start the fun in another thread, wherein I get to pick the topics of discussion (from current events and political topics, not RPGs) and the panelists and I discuss it.

So, any volunteers?

Interested, but not particularly knowledgeable... at least in terms of current events. I'll be reading, anyway.

I'd volunteer, but I'm getting enough political discussion on the Political Pulpit of CotI.

I may drop in to heckle, though - if that's allowed. Or just send info and news articles via PM to the speaker of my choice.

Its a mostly free-for-all with me as Moderator.  That means I pick the topics, and I get first and last word before moving on to the next topic.

Again, RPGs will not be on the discussion list.

As for the panelists, I'm hoping for a variety of guys on different points of the political spectrum. Hopefully at least one utterly batshit ultra-conservative, and one really femmy wus-liberal.

I'm in -- and although I wouldn't describe myself as "pro-George" I'm (I think) way, way closer to that than most folks I read on the Internet.

I'm a patriotic, but not nationalistic American and a registered Republican. One of my parents is an immigrant to America and I'm married to a foreign national.

Cheers,

I just ask that you guys resond in complete posts, rather than snippet-response-snippet.  I find it very hard to read.

Old Geezer is a bigger communist then I am, probably, but (and I don't want to speak for him too much) likely doesn't have any interest in internet political debates. I'm a vocal feminist liberal, but my reading and debating are both rusty and probably wouldn't do myself a credit.

I have to say I was tempted to nominate myself though. I guess that's ego.
God in the Machine.

Here's my website. It's defunct, but there's gaming stuff on it. Much of it's missing. Sorry.

I've got a blog. Do you read other people's blogs? I dunno. You can say hi if you want, though, I don't mind company. It's not all gaming, though; you run the risk of running into my RL shit.

Can I nominate myself to provide a European social democratic perspective? (I'm a card-carrying member of the British Liberal Democrats, to give you some idea of where I'm coming from).
I am no longer posting here or reading this forum because Pundit has regularly claimed credit for keeping this community active. I am sick of his bullshit for reasons I explain here and I don\'t want to contribute to anything he considers to be a personal success on his part.

I recommend The RPG Pub as a friendly place where RPGs can be discussed and where the guiding principles of moderation are "be kind to each other" and "no politics". It\'s pretty chill so far.

They issue cards?

Hell I never got a "Republican card" for voting Republican Or a "Libertarian" card when I vote that way.

 I must be missing something.
 Do you guys get T-shirts as well?
