Aroo.

Now get me a beer.

Quote from: Baeraad;945962I should point out that being certain of the ultimate victory of the Light is a very academic comfort right here and now when a monster is chewing on your leg.

Well said, that lad.

Welcome!

Welcome to the insane asylum....and as earlier said, whatever game you love sucks and if it's a game I love you are playing it wrong.

Fun fact, I am NOT banned at TBP, weird right?

Welcome, Baeraad! I'm also new here as well. I'm generally more of a lurker than a poster. Hope you don't mind me joining in on your post. I have also become more and more frustrated by the other site. I just got into, we'll say discussion, with some mods. I didn't technically break the rules and never lost my cool, but I'll be surprised if I don't get some red text thrown at me in the next 24 hours.

Quote from: AsenRG;945559Funny, I got threadbanned and warned about a similar comment last night;)!
Oh, and also for excessive use of smilies:). Can you believe that:p? In a forum that limits smilies to 10 per post, people still have issues with someone adding smilies within those limits:D!

LOL. You got admonished for tone policing. I find it incredibly amusing since most of what those mods do is tone police.

Quote from: Spinachcat;945395I'm not a BR fan, but I greatly enjoyed True20 and I don't know why that game line wasn't more popular. We did a couple great campaigns with T20 and I was surprised when it had completely fallen off the radar of most RPGers.

I think it wound up being not d20 enough to leverage the network or support easily, too d20 for those who were tired of that, and fighting Savage Worlds for the same market niche.

Quote from: Marleycat;946097whatever game you love sucks and if it's a game I love you are playing it wrong.

I pretty much assumed as much. Some things are just inherent to roleplaying discussion.

Quote from: Baeraad;945390I've seen a few of these threads around, so I'll take it as a tradition. Hi.

Welcome to the adult swim.

And it's a gawdamn stupid tradition.

Quote from: Baeraad;945390My most commonly played game for the last half a decade has been Blue Rose...

Played before or after you trim your mangina?

Quote from: Black Vulmea;946121Played before or after you trim your mangina?

Preferably after. Having a well-trimmed mangina has top priority.

Quote from: Baeraad;946125Preferably after. Having a well-trimmed mangina has top priority.

You stand a better than average chance of fitting in here. Well done.

Quote from: Baeraad;945396...



Hehe, nah, I'm not banned. It's just that in order to stay non-banned, I keep finding myself having to bite my tongue so hard that I think it's left permanent teeth marks. Spending a little less time there and a little more time somewhere where I won't have to worry about getting threadbanned for using the word "whining" might be good for my blood pressure, is my theory.

(I happen to think that my use of the word "whining" was not only justified but bipartisan, too! To be specific, I said that everyone, regardless of outlook, could stand to stop whining about not every game being perfectly adjusted to their taste. This, it turns out, was not popular with the local powers that be. )

I feel for you, and the same way, and not just at RPGnet but many others, even Old School sites where I share the spirit and contributed, and predate most all of 'em by a decade, but just refuse to drink the cool-aid.  Funny the Forge never banned me they just ignored me and told me I was "wrong" after trotting out an ever shifting menagerie of gobbly-gook theory.

Quote from: Spinachcat;945398Of course, their mods troll over here looking for heretics so welcome to the Naughty List!

Do they now!  Those people really don't have a life.  Seriously, don' they have friends, families and jobs?  I need to eeek out time just to post a few places in sporadic manic spurts let alone police other sites.

I'm sure they have families and jobs that dislike their personalities as much as their former friends did.

Since it seems relevant, I'm also a newcomer here who jumped ship from there.  I never got a ban that I recall, and only ever got one warning a few years ago (actually staying in the rpg sections of a site devoted to rpgs certainly helped).  

What snapped for me was a while back some guy joined.  He was enthusiastic, passionate, and... a bit annoying.  One of those "what system would you use for this obscure anime/80's cartoon/movie/show I really love" types who'd chime in after the discussion had started, except you might get 12 posts like that a month.  Mods banned him because they said he was posting stuff like this every day and not responding to his posts, and encouraged us to use the search function if we doubted them.

So I did.

And like I said, he posted at worst 12 times in one month, but he also -would- contribute in some of his threads that got traction.  I pointed this out in a thread, and the thread got locked, and it's bugged me ever since.  I never knew the guy, I doubt he'd fit in better here than he did there, but it was just such a shitty way to lie about something to justify kicking them out because they were annoying (not breaking rules, not even being rude, just... annoying).  

Anyway, that's my story.  Hello.
