I know Random Casualty hasn't been on these boards for quite some time now, but I wonder what he thinks about the American Tea Party. Not that I'd think he agree with their aims, but I think they're a good example of what sufficiently motivated people can do even when it seems like they have no effect on the government at large. Granted, I didn't say that the effect would be positive, but that's a different thing from 'voting is pointless' since they're like the biggest shakeup to the electorate in decades and they came out of like nowhere unlike the Southern Strategy or the Moral Majority.

Your freedom to add and change rules in the middle of the game is in direct conflict with my ability to understand that rules system before I decided whether or not to join your game.
In short, your entire post is dismissive of not merely my intelligence, but my agency. And I don't mean agency as a player within one of your games, I mean my agency as a person. You do not want me to be informed when I make the fundamental decisions of deciding whether to join your game or buying your rules system.

Holy shit. Six years, seriously?
Forums need that little paperclip guy, and everytime someone posts in a dead thread he shows up and says "You appear to be trying to revive the dead. Does your post contribute material appropriate to the time it's being posted, or are you just responding to something someone said six years ago?"

He felt so strongly about that dead thread that he went through the trouble of creating a new account for this.

There's another forum I post on that will put up a red-lettered warning after you click the submit button once the thread hasn't been responded to in something like 90 or 120 days. It will still let you post, but at least it warns you.DSMatticus wrote:Holy shit. Six years, seriously?

I wasn't aware anything got lost at all. It's not searchable for some reason I don't remember, but it should all be there.Neek wrote:There are posts from 6 years ago here? Didn't those get lost in the changeover?
My son makes me laugh. Maybe he'll make you laugh, too.

Links that were included in posts from before the changeover no longer work, but there are still threads from like 2003 and 2004 that can be found via searching.
Out beyond the hull, mucoid strings of non-baryonic matter streamed past like Christ's blood in the firmament.
