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.

That reminds me of the PaizoCon banquets where they'd pack way too many people in on a table and you'd get stuck with a bunch of 'Seattle fans'.

Quote from: RMS;1086284I'll confess that my first thought here was: Does anyone ever actually hand off a room key as a proposition?

I'd think it was a good way to get your hotel room robbed.

Well if it is any consolation. Someone in India bought Lion & Dragon. :cool:

Ew. Thanks for the heads up.

What is a Seattle fan?

Quote from: Bunch;1086422What is a Seattle fan?
The Seattle Seahawks are generally regarded as having the most obnoxious fanbase in the NFL.

That'll change as soon as the new NFL expansion team, the Portland Snowflakes, activate.

God I would love it if this happened. Don't know if they could beat the Portland Microbrews though.

Spinachcat, that was a genuine good laugh right when I needed one!
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.

Meaning fans of Paizo products based in the Seattle area that are likely to sport significant amounts of facial jewelry, dyed hair, tattoos and a d6 of spike & leather accessories.

To be fair, there were some normal looking PNW types too.

We're not all blue haired SJWs. :D But "progressivism" is pretty damn thick over here.

Quote from: Lychee of the Exchequer;1085052Perhaps someone could market an RPG about SJWs where one plays a psychotic brat intent on infecting the Western patriarchal world with his/her/its/iz/WTF brand of insanity (but WITH SUPERPOWERS ! Because, why the Hell not :-D !)

They already have Mage: The Ascension.

Quote from: Trond;1085225At what point do we start wondering if the whole thing is actually parody?

Goood question.

Quote from: Antiquation!;1085616I can only imagine the reason they didn't ban us was some attempt at conjuring the appearance of impartiality.

Doubtful, as appearing impartial is the last thing they want to do.

Quote from: jhkim;1085654It doesn't sound to me like Hensley is talking about the cigarette offer or the arm around her, but rather something more.

She isn't, but she's still not sharing the details.

Quote from: Melan;1085797why should anyone take people with severe identity disorders seriously?

Same reason we should take anyone seriously: When their ideas have merit and conclusions are supported by evidence.

Once again, a discussion unavailable to the general public.

Quote from: BrokenCounsel;1085983BJ Hensley's made her own statement on facebook. Took me all of a minute to find it.

https://www.facebook.com/bj.hensley.1/posts/10156399940262861

Choice quote: "I lost people I thought were friends because I wouldn't be their attack dog for either side and I still won't be."

Quote from: wmarshal;1085987The SJW's denying agency to the victim of the incident would almost be funny if their insane zealotry wasn't so scary. They immediately go into either assuming Hensley was forced into the statement or accuse her for selling out. They are being denied a crusade to give their lives greater meaning. It'll be interesting to see how many double down, and how many pause to take examine how they were getting manipulated by Stacy, Chris and Jessica.

Indeed.

Quote from: RPGPundit;1086258Yeah. You know how much rpg.net hates me? Not only did they refuse to publish reviews of Lion & Dragon that people have submitted but they actually erased RPG reviews for Dark Albion and Arrows of Indra that used to be there!

So they can and will delete user submitted content after all.

Rhetorical I know, but I'm making note of where where rpg.net has done this for reasons.

Quote from: RMS;1086281it's certainly possible that he did a bit more than he actually admitted too,

I actually think it's likely, as nobody involved has been completely straightforward in their accounts of what happened.

nope

Speaking only for myself, I generally cannot express a divergent opinion here without having multiple people verbally leap on me and screech until I stop talking. So honestly, I usually just keep quiet and let the echo chamber continue. I guess that makes me part of the problem but it is what it is, I do believe I'm responsible for my part in that and I should probably be more outspoken with regards to my opinions. I enjoy actual debate, but that's not something I usually experience or find viable as a method of honest discussion in this geographical area. Seattle is generally extremely unpleasant for me socially, let alone economically (entirely another issue). It's not difficult to find players here, but it is sometimes difficult to find players who are not so delicate as to be broken by even hearing a single word that 'triggers' them or activates some sort of trauma, let alone just decent people to game with.

Greetings!

Whoa, Antiquation! Hey, Ratman is joking with you. Perhaps I missed it, help me out. Who has been verbally leaping on you to be quiet? I don't believe that it is controversial in any way to state that our once-wonderful states of Oregon and Washington are full of SJW freaks. I have fiends that live there, as well as members here that have made it very clear that Oregon and Washington have suffered terribly through social and political changes over the last 10 years or more.

I don't think anyone reasonable would disagree with such a position. I've even read news articles discussing the growing homeless problem in both such places, and lamentations that Portland, etc. have become SJW shitholes.

I have been to both states, and they are beautiful, special treasures of our country. I have friends that live there as well. I think it is absolutely a sick, and tragic disaster which has overtaken both of those states. Hard to believe that they are nuttier than California, though I know the same terrible BS is swallowing up California, too. All three of these states are deeply fucked and horrible. Some elements of California are able to resist a bit more, simply because of land size and population. It's a mere academic formality though. All three states are fucked and swallowed by SJW's.

I hope the good folks still holding out manage to resist, fight back, or get the fuck out to somewhere more safe, sane, and reasonable.:D
