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.

Who else would you like to see join RPGsite?

Quote from: BalbinusSomebody was being a dick, he gave them a deserved kicking, got a mod warning and rather unwisely dared them to ban him.  They did for a month, so he PMed them and told them to permaban him, so they did.

So. . . when did they flip-flop on their official "We don't ban by request" position?

I have a feeling that it's not what you say, but how you say it.
Quote from: zomben, over yonderI'm tired of this pissy-ass shit on RPG.net where some asshole can come along and fling crap around, but nobody's allowed to call them on their crap without fearing the Mods.
might be construed as the kind of request the mods enjoy fulfilling.

Well, that's basically about people saying "I'm too addicted to RPG.net, but now I have exams coming up, so please ban me for two weeks, so I don't get sucked back in".
Not about people saying "Ban me if you dare mods, fuck you, I hate you all, I don't want to see your ****ing site ever again". They have been pretty consistent about banning people for that.

I thought it was a pretty insignificant thing to get so worked up over, but hey, if he felt it was worth it, more power to him. And the mods did warn the one he attacked as well, so I don't know why he felt the urge to attack again. Too bad, but if he's happier elsewhere, so be it.

I do like his sense of humour, though. Before being banned he managed to quickly change his location to "not on RPG.net, that's for sure..."

The Wak has big hands, and types at an angle, or so the story goes.

It's not like he's that celebrity whateverthefuck douche from the posters thread who does it intentionally. Fucking btards.

Sorry, what were we talking about?

Has anyone considered that Zomben might just be transitioning to a Mod's position over the tBp? :D

Take care Nothingland. You were always one of the most ridiculously good-looking sites on the internets, and the web too. I\'ll miss you.  -"Derek Zoolander MD" at a site long gone.

I'd love to see SMURF on here - from the SJG forums.  He and I may disagree on politics and economic systems greatly - but he is REALLY into gaming, good movies and History.
 You might even say he is my favorite socialist.

 He and I  used to have some pretty heated sparring matches about politics...then  I discovered we tended to like the same movies. He then started  sending me private mails that had NPC ideas for me.
 Turned out to be a decent sort that  I think I could game with at a table or even buy a beer for him.

One of the great ironies of life that I think probably generally merits more reflection by all of us, is how often people who believe things we find politically insane or repugnant are ok sorts with whom one could happily share a pint.

Gamergirl from the SJG forums might be fun to have on here.
 She also has an "over-love" of classic TRAVELLER and she likes original Star Trek quite a bit.   She also nplays Rock & Roll guitar.
 Maybe you guys think we have too many of those on here already?

 Also Dan Howard - he know his history about ancient armor.

pathfinderap

Quote from: Consonant DudeAn idea I had from another thread. Pretty simple. List suggestions of people you'd like to see join this forum. Who would make it interesting?

I'm going to start:

Dan Davenport

First, I just love his reviews. They are balanced, detailed and objective. This guy gives you a great idea of a game, even if you do not agree with his conclusions. I find he's a helpful reviewer and as a poster, I find him generally just as helpful and pleasant.

Was gonna say, the guys from evil hat, john wick, etc,

But I like this one more lol, Dan does the best reviews
 

zomben

Quote from: BalbinusZomben, who just got banned from rpg.net but would fit in well here.

You rang?

Thanks!  Sorry it took so long...  I was swamped last month, finally registered a few days ago, and then the spam filter ate my registration-confirmation email thingy.

So, there you have it.

Glad you made it over man, even if I was broke I always enjoyed looking over the books you were getting rid of and wishing I had money. :D  The rest of your posts were good too.
