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.

Please stop using the word rape to describe how you bested someone in a game. I get that you think it's cool. It's not.
“Ghost Whistler” is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). Parental death, alien battles and annihilated worlds.

I prefer my victories to be characterized as merciless slaughter where my game enemies are crushed, destroyed, and ground into the blood-spattered dust.  Savage butchery?  Sure!  But no rape.  Maybe some rapine, though, depending on what we're playing.
The problem is not that power corrupts, but that the corruptible are irresistibly drawn to the pursuit of power. Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito.

It's only rape if the teabagging wasn't consensual.

How about let's show our righteous fury for, for example, Saudi Arabia, where there indeed is no "no for an answer" in marriage, rather then bother with online snarks?

because saudi isn't an 'other game', it's a country.

Y'know, I've learned something from this thread. Both B.T. and Koltar are idiots, but whereas B.T. possesses a malign intelligence, Koltar is just a drooling fuckwit.

So, that's something, I guess.
