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.

Quote from: noisms;578436Nice try. You're the one who started the thread, as a branch from another thread: if anybody is annoyed about people being wrong on the internet around here, it's you.
I'm sorry, but I pretty much stopped caring about debating the issue. I know where I stand and that's good enough for me. You're quite obviously the guy who can't let go and feels the urge to jump on the keyboard as soon as Traveller bumps the thread and keeps posting nonstop on it from there.

It's ironic really. Pot calling the kettle black and all that.

Quote from: noisms;578436The point is not that you should reconsider your definition. The point is that you and others should just shut the fuck up about it, because it's an idiotic argument which spoils a heck of a lot of potentially interesting discussion on this site.
That's a very effective way to communicate your idea and I'm sure this will change our minds. ;)

Benoist, if there is anybody more pathetic than the person who resurrects a weeks-old thread to try to dig up an old argument, it's the person who bites. And if there's anyone even more pathetic than that person, it's the one who replies next and keeps the whole thing going. That's *you* in this thread, gobshite. Maybe time to take a long hard look at yourself?

In any event, I think I've made my point (that fat guys who like pretending to be elves should stick together, not create arbitrary divisions between themselves). It's like Ebony and Ivory, really.
Read my blog, Monsters and Manuals, for campaign ideas, opinionated ranting, and collected game-related miscellania.

Buy Yoon-Suin, a campaign toolbox for fantasy games, giving you the equipment necessary to run a sandbox campaign in your own Yoon-Suin - a region of high adventure shrouded in ancient mysteries, opium smoke, great luxury and opulent cruelty.

Eh new (old) information came to light which effectively ended the argument that this entire site is intrinsically connected to once and for all.

Game over man.

I felt it was worth the risk of being called pathetic.

Looks like old school is actually far more cutting edge than the latest gaming theory darling, the real pioneers and leaders are right here. Man those people on grognards.txt are going to feel like idiots. That's why I stand by my decription of forge theory as a religion - its a parallel phenomenon whereby otherwise educated, intelligent and well balanced people vanish up their own jacksies in a welter of self congratulatory back slapping.
