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.
The RPGPundit's Own Forum Rules
This part of the site is controlled by the RPGPundit. This is where he discusses topics that he finds interesting. You may post here, but understand that there are limits. The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind. Note that this is the only part of the site where political discussion is permitted, but is regulated by the RPGPundit.

Yes, it would be. Normal people just play.

I don't know if it is elitist - more activist. I find that most activists have a tenuous grip on what it is they are promoting or denouncing.

I would suggest, then, that by that definition, that neither of us are normal gamers.

So would the last hundred or so posts of this thread count as exhibit A against both sides?

By-the-way ,
 If you're using the green & white doo-hickie in your avatar - you realize that declares your bias on this ?

Thats the other thing that bothers me about  - voluntarily putting triangles on themsewlves and not getting why its not quite kosher.

- Ed C.


No shit, Sherlock? Bias you, you say? The avatar I decided to put up because of this wank-infested thread? :rolleyes:

If people want to pick a triangle as an avatar, have a green and white sticker, what's it to you, really? Hell, it'll even make it easier for you to identify those who are 'the sort of people I wouldn't want to game with anyway.' I'm sure it'll be a mercy for all concerned.

For me, online it's a reminder that despite the bitching and drama that goes on in forums, we do actually have at least thing in common, we game.

Offline, if some people wearing stickers on their bag or whatever means they end up having gaming conversations or sessions with new people then fair play to them. Who am I to piss on their chips or tell them it's not 'kosher'?

You can take it as elitist, you can take it as an imperative, 'Go, Play' but personally I preferred the Go Play! celebration take on it. Different strokes.
