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.

After Litvinenko, the BBC has been investigating suspicious deaths in Russia. Cloak and dagger (er, poison) is alive and well, it seems...

Whilst Litvenenko was still alive, there was a guy on the radio - your typical radio expert - who said the Russians used this method of assassination because the terror factor outweighs any collateral damage and more efficient methods.

Personally I think they do it because they're hard as fuck and as mad as badgers.

BIGOTS! RACISTS! PREJUDICED ASSHOLES!

Only a few russians poison people, but you're calling poisoning a russian thing, which is bigoted and racist. Why, that's like, oh, I dunno, imnplying that terrorism if a muslim thing because a few (hundred thousand) muslims engage in terrorist activity and/or openly, vehemently support it.
RPGPundit is a fucking fascist asshole and a hypocritial megadouche.

...the KGB had its own private biological weapons program, skimming resources from the larger germ-warfare program that kept the Soviets well-stocked with smallpox and tularemia.  Guess which government agency's members tended to moonlight as "special contractors" to the various mafiya and political factions?

    Mind you, the Russkies aren't always subtle poisoners.  Sometimes a big freaking ice-axe to the back of the skull does the job.

You have made an error, padawan.  For one to be bigoted or racist one must typically be derogotary and/or superior to ones target.

Assuming that the Russians are our target, please show the class where any poster has been derogatory or evinced attitudes of superiority over our Eurasian friends.

There is a reason I voted for him in the President for Life poll a while back. :what:
For you the day you found a minor error in a Post by Spike and forced him to admit it, it was the greatest day of your internet life.  For me it was... Tuesday.

For the curious: Apparently, in person, I sound exactly like the Youtube Character The Nostalgia Critic.   I have no words.
