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.

Gencon Rewards Violent Assaults Against Attendees

Gencon has given a carte blanche to leftists to violently assault someone and get rewarded for it, and the victim punished. Unless you're antifa, it's no longer safe to go to Gencon. And I don't mean hurt feelings safe, I mean physically safe.

Trump won because Clinton called Americans deplorable. And that's all she will be remembered for.

Trump won because he seemed to be bucking for change, which is what the people wanted.

Also, I have to correct Pundy here:  Matt 'Fantastic' Loter apparently was also banned for an indefinite time from GenCon as well.

Trump won because 4chan accidentally awoke an ancient Egyptian frog god!

Has McFuckstick's ban been confirmed? Are both bans for the same amount of time?

BTW, how are they going to enforce these bans?

If only that were true, then we wouldn't be blaming each other.

I have no idea who you mean by 'McFuckstick', so I'm going to repeat what I remember from the video, the E-mail that Mr. Hambly received stated that both parties are indefinitely banned.

Quote from: Spinachcat;1058174BTW, how are they going to enforce these bans?

Damn good question, good Sir, but I assume that that Gencon's organizers will circulate some images to whatever security agency that patrols it's grounds and have them deal with any potential intrusion by both parties.  However, that is pure supposition on my part and have clue otherwise.

Which is hilarious because the incident happened outside GenCon. GenCon going to ban him from them too? Because both parties can just hang out outside GenCon all they want.

You didn't watch the video, did you? I address this, and explain why it's bullshit.

I thought Trump won because all the Bernie-or-Bust supporters were totally going to suck it up and vote Hillary and give the the incumbent party 12 years in the White House (as is custom in American politics), until Russian hackers released fake news that totally changed everyone's minds, and Hillary's campaign did nothing wrong whatsoever to alienate anyone who'd otherwise support her.

As for Gencon....  Gencon is still a thing?

Chris24601

Nah, Trump won because Team "America Can't Do It" only ever expected to be fighting Team "America Accepts Defeat With Dignity." Neither side expected they'd have to fight Team "America is Crazy Awesome Hold My Beer."

They never stood a chance.

As to GenCon's idiocy; I don't think it's going to take much before people to start turning "I was banned by GenCon" into a badge of honor and selling point. Kinda like how getting dissed by the Hugo Awards for science fiction writing has been turned into a "read this because it's subversive" advertisement.

Also the attacker did lose his part time gig at the local college.  So the attacker did have some blow back in other areas of his life.

Trump won because he is a nationalistic populist and a lot of people hate the mainstream globalistic political elite and media.

This video. Wow! Carbon copy of how I think. I have absolutely nothing to add. I completely agree with you.
May I say that? Yes, I may say that!
