yeah, because ya'll post too often and my face is not glued to a screen like it was back in the day. SO of course I would. With that said, 14 day dead lines are preferable.

Being predictive here and calling it that this might start a mass exodus that will hurt the site's activity. I like the ruleset, and games should be made for that. Heck, a whole sign-up could be made for that but I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm watchful of the indirect tagging and discrimination that comes with making lists of the people you avoid playing, and the separatist paradigm that comes with it. Let's call it what it is.

Nobody is making lists of people to avoid playing with.

I did, and I really don't know what you're talking about here... Nobody is avoiding anyone, this isn't what this is. Anybody can join a geriatric game.

Flubbernugget · Post Post #410 (ISO) » Mon Jan 08, 2018 4:26 pm

Not only is this thread only supposed to be for organizing games now, there are literally two separate threads to take a pick amongst for criticizing geriatric games.

How did someone

still

manage to find this thread and complain?

The op lists “kids these days”
And lists people who post a lot

Aeronaut · Post Post #412 (ISO) » Mon Jan 08, 2018 6:00 pm

It really doesn't?

ISO · Post Post #413 (ISO) » Mon Jan 08, 2018 6:31 pm

In post 412, Aeronaut wrote:It really doesn't?

It does, but it was never a blacklist. Just a list of players who had a noted trend of posting a LOT, to raise awareness of them more or less. It was "kids these days". It lists them as that, nothing more. It says nothing about what to do about "kids these days". It says nothing about stopping them from playing in games with geriatric individuals. So there was never a blacklist.

Aeronaut · Post Post #414 (ISO) » Mon Jan 08, 2018 7:04 pm

OOOOoooooh. The spoilered thing.

Yeah, that's not a blacklist, those people are welcome to come play a more manageable sized game.

xRECKONERx · Post Post #415 (ISO) » Mon Jan 08, 2018 7:07 pm

the general attitude seems to be "everyone's welcome to play a game under this ruleset unless you've repeatedly spouted off about how you refuse to play by these rules"

Aeronaut · Post Post #416 (ISO) » Mon Jan 08, 2018 7:09 pm

Well... that would seem to work out then wouldn't it?

Either way, at least for my games, the people who hate this ruleset for whatever reason can still choose to play it if they want. I just don't know why they would.

The bell rang already bud

Creature · Post Post #418 (ISO) » Tue Jan 09, 2018 1:39 am

Yeah, a list looks more to be interpreted like "these players are antitown" than "these players post a lot".

Korts · Post Post #419 (ISO) » Tue Jan 09, 2018 1:49 am

The list was just an initial attempt to solve the issue for those who don't want to participate in fast games. It was a bad attempt that came from a place of frustration and unintentionally vilified hyperposters, and was thus quickly replaced by a more constructive approach that focuses on providing an environment for slow players.

I would personally welcome anyone whose name is on this initial list to join my Geriatric game, as long as they respect the post frequency restrictions. Except Mulch, because after his contributions to the discussion, I wouldn't trust him to join in good faith.

Mulch · Post Post #420 (ISO) » Tue Jan 09, 2018 2:49 am

I see that you consider any criticism of your way of play bad faith

Not that I expected anything different; such is life

humaneatingmonkey · Post Post #421 (ISO) » Tue Jan 09, 2018 3:33 am

I kinda understand why they think you're an asshole, Mulch. You're generating unwanted friction.

All criticism is unwanted friction

humaneatingmonkey · Post Post #423 (ISO) » Tue Jan 09, 2018 4:09 am

But your criticism is in itself unwanted and unfair. You're just telling them that it sucks. They're telling you to just don't participate. And you're still here. I understand tho because you were one of the people listed in the OP. But you have to give it up so they have less hate flowing through their veins.

Nobody is making lists of people to avoid playing with.

Making lists of people to avoid playing with has been on this site for...roughly 12 years now.
