How to kill a thread?

[Faylar]

I was thinking of putting a goose in the new Pub logo.

I mean... what else could it be at this point?

My toddler daughter accidentally reported a post once. I think it was one of my own.

 

[E-Rocker]

Nah, I say push it the other way. Remove reports entirely, but make everyone a moderator. Last person left wins some cool vaguely RPG-related prize, like a picture of Steve Jackson, signed by Doc Sammy .

But are we talking Steve Jackson (US), or Steve Jackson (UK)?

 

[Baulderstone]

Which one are you hoping for?

"Accidentally."

Nope. I think that's your first hint she can actually read.

"Waifu" is not a typo, I assume, since you wrote it twice...is that a waif who does kung fu? Like our own dear AsenRG?:

Urban Dictionary: waifu pillow

A body pillow with a picture of an anime character on it used by weaboos.

I'd make some oblique joke about how you're about to lose your virginity but waifus and losing ones virginity aren't normally concepts that go together . . .

This is a waifu. They get more NSFW from there.



In related news, my other half got a body support pillow when she was pregnant with our #1 spawn and I used to wind her up by calling it the waifu.

This knowledge will change you forever in ways you don't necessarily want.

Are you still asking the question?

 

[Gabriel]

This is a waifu.

Or alternately, PVC and vinyl waifu!

You just had to post one of the moments when I'm getting kicked in the face, didn't you ?

 

[Raleel]

I have reported exactly twice I believe. One was in a thread that resulted in a ban. The other got a “hey, calm down”

I am also in the camp of “click the unwatch button”. Conveniently, it makes me less angry, and often the threads die out. I’ve got one thread I’ve been just popcorning a bit.

 

[Nobby-W]

But... but... I don't wanna keep having to quote episodes of CHiPs just to get a 'to hit' bonus in combat.

Could be worse. Could be The A-Team. At one point our group instituted a -4 to hit rule for anyone quoting The A-Team or humming the theme music.

 

[Baulderstone]

For those that wish to know more about waifu, may I suggest this thread started by our own TristramEvans.

I'm pretty sure that's not just a house rule. Pretty sure it's printed in all books somewhere or other.

 

[Baulderstone]

I'm pretty sure that's not just a house rule. Pretty sure it's printed in all books somewhere or other.

It's coded into the fabric of the cosmos. Record a series of die rolls both while humming the The A-Team them and then while not. You'll notice a difference.

I’m not amused.

 

[tenbones]

No worries. I've solved the problem

I love it when a plan comes together.

Seems to be a record week for locked threads.

I go to work for a while and when I come back the bodies are piled up like cordwood.

Is it a full moon?

First full week of work after two weeks of holidays.

Literally the opposite of my resolution! Wanna fight about it?!?!

 

[EmperorNorton]

I'm clearly an expert at this subject. AMA.

literally literally... or figuratively literally?

 

[Séadna]

For some reason I read the final title as having the same kind of muted horror as "I have no mouth and I must scream". It could be a discription of a carving or statue in a CoC game.

Both! Both I say!

“Muted horror” is a very good way of describing some of the recent thread closures. That’s not a knock on the mods btw.

If I may bring up other forums for a moment...

I've noticed that the Pub does have a bit of a clash on some topics between people who came from RPG.net and theRPGsite. There is a bit of a difference in the way that both groups go about discussion that can lead to disagreements. theRPGsite crowd definitely seems to be more in your face and if you don't like it... too bad for you. While the RPG.net crowd tend to moderate the discussion or otherwise derail it if they don't like it.
I don't see it often, but when the topic becomes a bit heated it seems that old tribal ways pop up again. I recognize some of the names from each site usually in the thick of it and in opposition.

That and there are some old rivalries from those groups that seem to follow them too. I am pretty sure taht at least two regular posters here (Who were common on thRPGsite) absolutely hate each other.

With all that in mind... this site works... we all do seem to eventually self moderate and you end up seeing public apologies which are almost unheard of elsewhere.

I've noticed all of this as well.

Oddly enough, I actually did meet Steve Jackson in real life last year.

And for those who are curious, it's the US Steve Jackson, the one who invented GURPS and Munchkin.

He was the Gaming Guest of Honor at MystiCon 2019 right here in Roanoke.

You left out the story of how and why you have nude photos of each other.

He said he was a doctor then grabbed Steve's crotch and said "cough"?

To be fair, that's a traditional greeting in Doc Sammy's neck of the woods.

Thats why he calls himself Doc?

 

[Voros]

I've noticed all of this as well.

But it's not really true, I know both sides of the posters being referred to and I know them all from my time on RPGSite. One side was simply more dominant on the Site.

 

[Dumarest]

That, and he pals around with Long Tom, Monk, Renny, Ham, and Johnny.

Yeah, a lot of the conflicts here are from formerly being on the same forum in the past. While the RPG Site has always been at war with rpg.net, I don't think the posters from the different forums have the same level of personal antagonism as ones that used to share one.

He said he was a doctor then grabbed Steve's crotch and said "cough"?

And the rest of the story falls under patient/doctor confidentiality.
