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.

Heh that was an easy kiss-off. At least Ulairi had the good sense to do it. Many of us didn't get that opportunity, heh.


Edit: I need to use "Jacobins" as an epithet more. Also "Naughty Hitler".

Sad to think this type of honest feedback still won't actually knock much kool-aid out of the "woke" heads over there. I am curious to see how many new members end up arriving in the next few days, though.

   Unfortunately, that post is in the section barred to those who have left or are under the ban of Lilith and the Erinyes. :) (Seriously, between the Webb thread, the TotalCon thread, and other controversies, I've been struck by how merciless and vindictive the general climate is over there. Whether they're right or wrong, the sheer absence of charity is frightening even for the Internet.) Care to reproduce?

Ha, shit, of course.

Quote from: M2A0;1085146Wow! So you're telling BJ she shouldn't use her own name? This place has become intolerable. It's only a matter of time until you Jacobins devour your own.

After 19 years, I'm done with this cesspool of groupthink, I'll take that sweet perma-ban please.

This in response to someone crying about BJ Hensley using her own name and specifically encouraging people "not to worry about [trying to hide/censor it]" because the cat's already out of the bag.

Edit: Pffthaha. And someone just got banned for having a "Trump 2020" logo as their avatar. "If you want to support prejudice, racism and grift, do so elsewhere."

I mean I know they have a rule about saying literally anything in support of Trump, it's still no less funny to me the amount of fucking irony dripping from every last word those mods type.

Quote from: remial;1085033so, what was the image?

it has been purged for wrongthink apparently.

I have this ongoing fantasy where I win the lottery, like big time, and I buy rpg.net and either shut the place down or give it to Pundit

(also don't forget the PTB at TBP also check your social media accounts to make sure you don't express any bad thinking off the site. but they aren't an echo chamber or a bunch of evil psychos.)

I've entertained a similar fantasy - but never in my fantasies imagine that RPG.Net is actually worth that much. Makes me wonder between their membership drives and advertising what their actual net worth is.
The more clichéd my group plays their characters, the better. I don't want Deep Drama™ and Real Acting™ in the precious few hours away from my family and job. I want cheap thrills, constant action, involved-but-not-super-complex plots, and cheesy but lovable characters.

Tens of dollars. Facebook and other social media have killed their traffic.

A part of me thinks that's waaaay closer to the mark than we'll probably ever know.

At that price, I'd buy it just to turn it over to Pundit as a Christmas present. :)

Quote from: myleftnut;1084801So I'm hoping I can find a place to read and post about games where people have common sense. I don't know much about this forum other than from critics and registered without really reading a lot of the content. So I have a question.  Is this just a "right wing" equivalent to rpg.net or are all options welcome?

There's just as much ash and trash here. You just won't see many bans. Not everyone here is right wing. Those who are are very easy to spot. Indeed, all the bullshit tends to be clearly labeled, so you can steer clear of the same ol’ (re)hash, or engage at your peril. Be sure to sample some of the ironly, including people bitching about “echo chambers” while being perpetually lodged inside of one.

Quote from: CarlD.;1085187Does anyone have any hard numbers?

I talked to someone on an IRC chat who at one point was looking into buying rpg.net out from Shannon (or whoever the head fucktard is), and while they refused to sell, the discovery revealed they (the owner) was worth between 10 and 40 thousand.

and yeah, in my fantasy, I know I'd be throwing money away, but I'd be doing it to drive home a point.
