SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

So I've seen it bandied about, apparently at random for 'person the Pundit doesn't like,' and I've had a look for a stock definition but without success...

(cue masses yelling, "look harder, moron!")

So what's the definition, around these parts, of swine?

But that is the definition.

Quote from: SettembriniSwine = pretentious wannabe
Are either of those terms specific (like "They're a swine if they want-to-be X, but not if they want-to-be Y"?) or are they both general (like "If they are wannabes of any sort, and they are pretentious in any way, then they are swine"?)

My initial question was "What is it that they want to be?" but I realized that the question itself included a tacit assumption. :)

There's a war going on Fighterboy a war in the shadows that will change the very nature of the hobby. You may not be aware of it but there are people out there protecting your gaming group and all the others out there from a swinelike enemy with an agenda of artsy pretentiousness. They are called The Just and they are lonely heroic figures who battle it out on the new frontier of internet message boards and livejournals for the very soul of the hobby. You come here asking questions, looking for truth but you can't handle the truth! Go back to the safety of your little Yorkshire group and just thank God there are others there to face up to things you cannot.

Shit this has given me an idea for a campaign.

Okay Garry, you just made me piss myself laughing. Maybe I've had one too many drinks but it's still an achievement.
