Rule Change (New Staff Power)
RE: Rule Change (New Staff Power)
Busted!
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

A condition has been identified and the staff has determined what they believe to be the best solution to that condition. To all those who are bitching about it like somebody killed your new puppy, why don't you make some viable suggestions as an alternative to the new power? For fuck sake, our staff is more than reasonable and if one of you hits on an idea that better than the current one, and that works within the framework of the forum software, I'm dead certain they'll give it due consideration.

Funny, you won't read through the thread but have no problem berating people for supposedly not doing something. How do you know such suggestions haven't been made?

Oh.

You don't.

Actually, I read through 20 fucking pages. Heard some unrepentant bitching as well as some suggestions. If you wish to think that post was aimed at you, don't let me dissuade you.

I suggest calling it The Guillotine Clause. Much more accurate, lopping off one head at a time, rather than vaporizing a cityful of innocents!

Great idea...even though I just hunted up animated gifs for nukes.

(Don't blame me if you don't like the gifs I find for Guillotines).

Okay, so this rule scared some of you. The thing is, you aren't so scared that you think complaining about it will get you banned. That is because this is a very moderately modded forum. If you think it's safe to complain, you think you're safe. Think about it.

I find the whole thing fascinating. I want to be nicknamed after a fruit. Murican is not a nice nickname. Give me something else. Angry

OK, the 2015 results are in. Time to deploy MIRV.
