Quote from: GRIM;751192Being banned from RPGnet is a badge of honour though.

That's like getting an award for showing up, dood.  You can get banned for a sentence fragment there.  Got to raise the bar a bit.

Agreed, even I caught a 7:day ban there like 3 years ago? It's ridiculously easy and getting easier by the minute given I see Zeea here (nothing against you but you're a classic SJW to me. Rock on though because this earth has room for both of us).

Quote from: Marleycat;751421Told you! There's a wickedly solid game in there once you look past all the faux furor being whipped up over at TBP.

It's also Hipster-tastic, as all the plusses really are negatives, and vice versa. It's a satirical commentary on the simplistic politicization of social games through a simplistic game of social politics. It's pretty cleverly hidden, I'll say. edit: I also think it's hilarious as criticism through mechanics of juxtaposing between a medium of pretend being sociable, and a social medium's umbrage with the pretend. Also, as this would be my mod's voice, it is high pitch and nasal. /arches eyebrow

Still think the cards and their tag lines could use some polish, though.

I shan't be further commenting, but it's nice to see the more positive commentary here.

The system (tweaked) will turn up with different 'skins'.

Zeea, if you're talking about Caoimhe Ora Snow or Kynn Bartlett or whatever other alias they use at the moment, I suggest taking a look into their background a little more closely. IMO they're someone who genuinely deserves this kind of level of scrutiny.

Ciao.

I'm very aware, and have discussed my position before on other sites, but would rather not get into it again. Let's just say I'm pretty sure she doesn't care for me now.

Quote from: Zeea;7514316) You're right on one thing. Social justice advocates aren't totally powerless anymore, particularly in the tiny niche of RPGs and related hobbies, where we've made rapid gains over the last few years. For the first time ever, we actually have real influence within this admittedly tiny and nearly irrelevant hobby.

I guess effort pays off. 'All that is required for evil to triumph is that the good do nothing', etc. More important perhaps is that regular liberals generally have no moral framework to resist SJW activism, all they can say is "I agree with you in principle, but I think you're going too far here..."

It would be a shame if SJWs drove everyone else out of the RPG hobby and turned it into a far-left ghetto, with normal people forced to play WH40K or something. Unfortunately you seem to be pretty far along to achieving 'victory'. I've been picking up a bunch of Paizo Adventure Paths recently. I noticed that in 2007 they start off with fairly conventional left-liberal mores in Rise of the Runelords; by the time of Wrath of the Righteous in 2013 they're way down the SJW rabbit hole. Not that that does Paizo any good of course, the hate for Paizo on TBP is hilarious.

I wouldn't be surprised if many of the SJW's now on the left wouldn't have been the kind of people on the right persecuting the Jews in 1930s Germany or blacks in 1960s America. I don't think it's a matter of politics necessarily , its a matter of feeling self-important and wanting to be morally superior over other people. They want to be on the ' right side ' and then they can use that as a stick to beat other people with.

For the first time ever, we actually have real influence within this admittedly tiny and nearly irrelevant hobby. For the first time, in fact, it's possible for game designers on our "side" to cynically exploit that to get pats on the back and funding. It's also possible for our allies to dogpile someone who didn't really do anything all that bad, or to exagerrate a problem.

This is one of the saddest things I've ever read.

Heh, they have one queer couple and you can't handle that? Get some perspective.

Yes, exactly. I have absolutely no reason to support being able to get married and not getting beaten up for going to the bathroom except wanting to control people, and my master plan is to persecute people in the vital field of "one forum about a niche hobby." Really, you sound paranoid and ridiculous. This is what happens in an echo chamber.

I know I said I wouldn't comment any more, but I'll just leave THIS here.

You mean people on the left.

Nazis = National Socialist Worker's Party. They were very, very left, at least compared to everyone but the Soviets.

And much of the opposition to Blacks in the 1960s was actually from Democrats.

It's really amazing how history gets re-written. Republicans free the slaves, keep the same policies for 100 years, yet somehow they are depicted as racists, while the actual racist party is now the champion, because they hand out free phones...

Aww, Sophie Lancaster Foundation with their video has now given me a big sad.
Now I wanna listen to more Portishead, but since it's World Goth Day I'm torn between them and Sisters of Mercy. (Just don't tell Andrew Eldrich I'm pigeonholing him. )

Listening to Portishead is never a bad choice.
