SPECIAL NOTICE
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). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

Quote from: angelsorayamaThere could be epiphanies... or there could be nothing. Roleplaying is just a game to many people and thus, no matter what story is being told, people won't always see the lessons/epiphanies that may be there for them to find.

To this I would just like to add that story/resulting epiphanies most times isn't necessarily the goal. It just happens. Sometimes when it just happens it evokes a very intense emotional response. Which is great, but I don't think that creating epiphanies is some thing that can be promoted as a style of play or even as a marketting tool for certain games/systems. Epiphanies is not limited by system or play style.

Quote from: Levi KornelsenI see it as a win-win contest, really.  We get the joy of airing our opinions and smacking them around, and everyone else gets to watch us toss each other around, and maybe spots stuff they like in our opinions.

I'd like to see more of them on different topics, :heh:  if we had things like this done in newspapers on political topics, readers would be both amused, and better informed. Thanks to both Levi and Pundent for sticking it out for the greater good. :)

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.
