Quite.  I had no intention of inviting someone who didn't actually play rpgs, who didn't have anything constructive to say about them, and who would show up just to stir up arguments where they didn't exist before.  The Captain (Catpain?!?) is good people and really knows his gaming.  However, he has his admitted personality conflicts with a certain prominent member of this site, which is as good a reason as any to demure.

!i!

I've never seen Capt Spaulding play the Gay Card on RPGNet. Furthermore, I've tabletop gamed with the good Catpain and he was a thoroughly decent bloke who didn't try and enforce a pro-gay agenda on us.

Although, I did find myself tapping my foot to a Scissor Sisters song a few weeks later, so you never know....

I've met Cap Spaulding for a drink, and he plays with a mate of mine.  He's a great guy.

I was indeed thinking of Curt.  Thanks for the headsup.

Quote from: KoltarThat all sounds VERY confusing.

 How did anyone keep track of any of that?

Nah, the hard part is assigning blame.  Is Cessna to blame for telling jokes that could be interpreted as being insensitive to gay posters...

Or is the Captain to blame for getting offended and making a stink.

The actual event was fairly clear cut and pretty much went down in one thread over about two or three pages.

Greetings.

By and large most folks are reasonable and articulate. On occasion Pundit and Gabriel will wax a tad vitriolic, but for the most part they're both measured in their speech. When they do get a bit extreme about you, make your response cool and informed, and they (sometimes) chill.

Dominous Nox is our problem child. Mention Evil Stevie in any fashion and you'll see why. Nox is capable of learning, but sometimes you've got to use a heavy club and put your back into it.

A thick skin and a ready sense of humor are needed here. Expect some to attack you. Most of us will go after your ideas, but not all will do so with any hint of respect or courtesy. Remember that you're dealing with the distancing caused by being on-line. None of the clues afforded by physical presence or even by hearing the speaker's voice in other words. I hope your participation on these boards is beneficial to all in some form or another.

The key to posting here is to remember that you can tell people to fuck off, and generally it will not be held over to the next thread.

That and people are expected to defend their ideas or if they can't be arsed to drop out of a discussion, both being fair responses really.

Kind of like rpg.net, pre-Tangency.

Where am I? What place is this? Who are you peopl...

Yayyyyyyyy!! Wak is Back!

Well, not BACK, per se. I mean, so much as this is his first post here and all...

Whatever - welcome aboard! :haw:

Welcome Wak.  Hopefully you'll spend more time talking about gaming here than you do at RPG Net.

Fuck you, Wak.

I'm quite interested in what the Wak plays, in fact. From what I've read the Wak seems like a smart, if bizarre, dude.

Though am I incorrect in my usage? I'd been lead to believe that the proper form of address is "the Wak", like "the Dude".

That's my interpretation as well.  I hope you continue to post here Wakshaani.  You're a cool person!

Nice one.
