'Mental and moral corruption'--now you've really hurt my feelings!

You just run along back to your game of penis-compensation.

Quote from: SettembriniMental and moral corruption

Is that anything like Brain Damage?

Quote from: James McMurrayIs that anything like Brain Damage?

Sort of, except for serial killers.

Quote from: SettembriniWell,
If everyone here agrees that they just have become the next furries, then this would be totally within the spirit of my OP.

Yeah, I think I'm with you on that one.

Also, can one be both a proxie of the Pundit and a member of your coterie?  I'm dying to know if I have to choose sides *again*.

Quote from: SettembriniI positively don´t want to discuss or hear anything related to Thematic Games any more. The reasons are closely related to the recent revelations regarding the intended and emergent nature of their gameplay.

No.

• "Thematic" games are, like GNS' Simulationism, ill-defined, and really meaning just, "I don't like it."
• This forum is not about the kinds of games any one poster likes, it's about all kinds of games. This does not mean that nobody can criticise others' games and play styles, just that everything is up for discussion - and criticism.

As to, "oh but the threads all turn nasty", that's got to do with the nasty content of the play involved, not the games themselves. I mean, Dogs in the Vineyard hasn't had nasty threads, even though the game itself can quite easily have nasty play in it.

Just because a person has said something stupid or vile, or their game had some nasty play, does not mean it should not be discussed or taken seriously anymore. Our own RPGPundit, after all, compared Uncle Ronny to a serial killer. Does that mean we can no longer discuss Sorcerer, or that RPGPundit's posts should all be shunted to Off Topic? Of course not.

Quote from: SettembriniWe don´t discuss LARPS at theRPGsite after all.
And we don´t discuss Harry Potter simming neither.

Only because nobody's brought them up. We don't discuss what we had for breakfast, but if the topic came up it'd be accepted. LARPS and Harry Potter stuff just hasn't come up, they're not banned topics or anything stupid like that.

Edit: I say to you, Settembrini, as I say to the Forgers: get a game group, mate. Everyone is a bit crazier with no game group. Everyone has crazy thoughts about gaming from time to time, then we sit down, roll dice and eat cheetos and remember the simple reality of it all, and it brings back down to Earth. You've been expressing a lot of crazy ideas lately, and from what I understand, you have no game group. Get a game group, mate.

PM sent, JimBob.
And goodbye!

EDIT: For those interested, I´m sick of JimBobs shtick that involves acting like a maliceful version of the special supportive Dad from American Pie. It´s distasteful as it is lame, and I elaborated on that in the PM.

Vale, Settembrini! Sic transit gloria mundi.

Quote from: jrientsYeah, I think I'm with you on that one.

No, no. My coterie is open to anyone.
@terminology Thematic Games: That´s Forger-approved terminology for naming their NARR games. As this is a distasteful thing these days, I henceforth will not call them this anymore.
Pundit was right from the start:

Ostracize the lawncrappers or they spoil the hobby. Their technical RPGness is s subversive measure to feature their ...special longings...
For all practical meanings they are not RPGs anymore to me.

As everybody seems to know what is meant by the term, I might use RapeStory-Game or somesuch other blatantly distancing term.

EDIT: And I hereby encourage any Levi, Luke or Paka to quickly distance themselves from these deviant old men.

And a touching PM it was, full of abuse and ranting! To abuse the person, then hit the ignore button, that's beautiful! Like a little kid throwing stones and then running away giggling. So moving!

For the record, Settembrini notes that he has a couple of games going. I'm glad to hear it. I hate to think of any gamer without a fun group to game with.

It just shows you can speak nonsense even when you do have a game group. But still, I do think that when you're without a game group you're more likely to speak nonsense about gaming, just as when you're single you're more likely to speak nonsense about intimate relationships. That's just human nature.

I hope Settembrini will tell us something about his campaigns he's in. As much as I enjoy mocking other people when they have a crazy game style, I'd rather read about what a person likes than what they hate. That's why I'd not want "Thematic games", whatever they are, to be shunted to some other subforum. I like to hear about how other people game, because there are almost always interesting ideas there. I have a lot to learn about gaming. Not, you know, too much to learn from people going "ass-rape! huhuhuhu cool." But still.

Edit: oh, and we should definitely ostracise the lawncrappers. If Vincent Baker ever comes here, I shall ostracise him in the strongest possible terms! But I'm not going to ostracise someone just because they like a oint to the events in their game session, or whatever the fuck "Thematic gaming" is.

So if I start playing DnD, or Traveller for example, but I play them as rape fantasies and post the actual plays up for people to read and comment on, will they cease to be RPGs -or rather "Adventure Games" for you?

Why do I like Sett is the Power of Roleplaying Games, with me, a humble Excrucian?

Settembrini, topic - banning some RPGs because some  people post disgusting APs of them is one of the most retarded things you have written here, in a long and distinguished career of writing retarded things about your fictitious war. Which is no little achievement, given the hard competency you have.
 
Poison'd is an RPG. It may be a shitty one, for all I know, but it is indeed an RPG. As it is Sorcerer, DitV and so on. I don't like that AP: is stupid shit, that I would have found puerile when I was 14. But topic banning the games which you don't like on the basis of a moronic AP? Fuck you.

They are RPGs, Imperator, as I´ve said several times in this threads.
But as LARPS and Harry Potter simming, I do not feel in any way to be in the same hobby.
Just as Boardgames technicall include Wargames, and Poker and MagicTG are technically Cardgames.

Due to the events of recent and ill refute, there is no way I´m wishing to be associated with this stuff, moreso I do not wish a table top RPGSite to be about them in any way.

Just as I don´t want to have furries here.

This is not about the war anymore, I´m out of this used-to-be-fun-endeavour of the war. I THOUGHT it was a culture war between story-wankers and adventure-wankers, a nice little meta-discussion of which way to play an elf in the basement is better than the other.
But it has become blatantly clear, that "story" and "theme" and "premise" are not idiotic/disputable terms for dramatic structure generation and collaborative storytelling, but veils for RapeStoryTelling.

And that the most prestigous and well-known games of that ilk are EXACTLY that. Not by accident, but by design.

Then, Sett, do the best thing you can: ignore them. Don't make threads about them. Don't give them free marketing.
 
Since Pundit and you started your ridiculous war on the Swine, nobody has done more for them than you. Nobody could ask for a better free promotion. You have linked and discussed threads in godforsaken forums that nobody would have never known if you didn't brought them to us.
 
Dude, each day I have more clear that, actually, you and Pundit work for IPR. Best viral marketing ever.

Got a question for ya, Chuckles.  Who died and made you king?

Quote from: SettembriniIf everyone here agrees that they just have become the next furries, then this would be totally within the spirit of my OP.

I'll believe that when I see a CSI episode about the Forge, with Grissom investigating a series of brutal murders inspired by Poison'd and spending quality time with a sultry GM and her strange fetishes.
