Totally disagree.
One of the best things about this forum is that it is relatively open.
I agree it should be better organised, but the responsibility for that rests on the shoulders of people like myself who could improve it but haven't - not Kestas who has put an awful lot of work into this project!

I disagree. I enjoy seeing others views. If I get my feeling hurt I'll get over it.

strongly disagree.
in fact, shut up

The forum should be used exclusively for killing time while waiting for your last gamemate to finalize orders. Whatever kills your time is fair game - be it abortion, religion, anarchy, facism, questions about leagal/illegal moves, outing multis, death penaly, assisted suicide, gays, obama's socialist agenda, currupt friends and his complete unqualifiedness to be the next commander in chief, "why did this move fail" questions etc.

even asking who's more popular between sites

It's all fair game for the forum

If people didn't want to talk about politics and other non-game issues, they wouldn't. Simple as that.

Do not shut up! Diplomat speak up! Just try to be better in expressing your self, that only comes with practice.

I agree, if you think the forum should be used exclusively for game related issues, you stick to that beleif and fight us tooth and nail until you get it ;) Every great figure has to deal with their critics...

what a hypocrite

practice? he's 50 years old

It's never to late to improve your self.

at expressing himself? at that age?

why does it matter how old he is

I am 59 or 44 in Diplomacy years....I think I can still improve and so do a lot of others, otherwise why would I keep getting emails telling me I am wrong? (G)

How do you calculate Diplomacy years? Did you start playing at 15?

I think there should be more lighthearted topics, but we certainly shouldn't begin censoring.

Will you all ever stop annoying me about that? So I made ONE mistake and ONE thread was useless there was no call for the THIRTY or so FLAMES I got in response. Janey mack, I've already apologised and all.

What does "Janey mack" mean?

It means I'm surprised.

What the hell, you guys? Quit ragging on Sioraf as Killeens for that. It was ages ago. Drop it.

You stay classy Diplomat1824.

Were you reborn into a whole new more enlightened life then Edi?

Perhaps you didn't notice but

IT'S B+ 1.
Right, I'm outta here. This forum is full of idiotic, insufferable b@st@rds.

See what I mean? I start an honest, perfectly fair petition, and what happens? People ruin it to argue about their own crap! If you're gonna debate, don't do it on a petition. Are you guys really that lazy? Too lazy to start your own idiotic thread that I will most likely post on?

@ philecore:
"Whatever kills your time is fair game......."
--philecore

Really? You kill time on Diplomacy? I knew there were 45-year-old virgins on here that live in their mom's basement, but philecore here has taken to the next level! Yes, it's fun, but who kills time in the forum? The most I have ever written is three paragraphs, if that. I know you all think that I spend every waking moment on here, which is not true. Why do you think my comments are rash and not well-thought-out.

For the record, it took me three minutes to think of that and type it.

And at the moment, I am leaving the computer to go do something productive.

I like the discussions on this forum. Even your threads sometimes, Diplomat. I say if you don't want to read a thread or participate in the discussion you don't have to.
Hey Sioraf don't let them get to you. We're not all idiotic, insufferable bastards.

Oops I just read diplomat[s comment about "this a petition". My post could be construed as a debate and not a signature. Silly me.

Or... you could just not read those threads.

he feels like a 9 year old child. i don't think he can improve much

Seriously people, calm down!
People can make their views, and we should listen. Then decide what you think. Don't make everything into a fight!

@ figlesquidge:

AMEN!!!

NO!!!! I want to fight! Petitions make me so angry. I feel my roidrage coming on.

Wow, Centurian. Another pathetic attempt at being funny. Do you actually think you are impressing anyone?

And do you actually think you're impressing someone by pointing out that Centurian's attempt at humour fell flat?

People take comments way too seriously >_>. Laugh it off and come back with a witty rebuttal, it's so much more fun.

Good thing noone takes Diplomat too seriously :P

@ PirateJack

Do you acually think I'm doing this for comedy? Who would win in a fight between Dane Cook and Bill O'Reilly?

Bill O'Reilly.
Intellect beats comedy, every time.

Sioraf - It's just a running joke - I think it's funny and it's nothing personal. I like you and enjoy reading your posts. But every now and then I'm gonna say sioraf -1 because it makes me laugh. In fact I can't stop laughing now for some reason.

Diplomat - you don't read through the forum to killl time? Why is it so surprising that someone else does. That conjurs up images of 40 year olds in their moms's basements to you? Seriously? You're a bit of a weirdo. I think some of the discussions on the forum are very interesting, and those that I don't I just don't read. Who would read it at all if it was just about the game? That would be lame. It's because I enjoy reading posts by Sicarius thinkning that civilation is coming to an end that I occasionally see a "Why did my move fail" question and answer it.

"Do you acually think I'm doing this for comedy? Who would win in a fight between Dane Cook and Bill O'Reilly?

Bill O'Reilly.

Oh my god. This might be the single most unintentionally funny joke ever! Hahaha! God, the irony is actually destroying my stomach and cheek muscles.

diplomat, you've started your fair share of off topic threads and if we have to put up with your ridiculous notions being posted here then you can put up with some (un)intelligent discussion. It's cool that you can justify posting in this forum by using your time to insult people because you think they have no lives. I hope you get over your insecurities and realize that everyone else is comfortable enough not have to have to say they're now going to do something productive. Nobody here thinks that you spend every waking moment here because nobody here thinks about you. Just like you don't think about the garbage men or the waitresses. When you realize this, maybe you can settle down and be comfortable with what you do without having to seek the validation of others.

Sioraf, I hope you don't take the joke that way. I don't think anybody means it as an attack on you, it's just a joke. People say it because it's funny. Nobody is dismissing you or your opinions, but everyone here is subject to criticism.

"Who would win in a fight between Dane Cook and Bill O'Reilly?

Bill O'Reilly.

I find this funny for a completely different reason. Dane Cook doesn't do comedy, he makes stupid observations and puts emphasis on odd syllables when he explains them. That's not comedy.

I heard Sinbad on the radio say that Dane Cook's jokes were just thinks like "did you ever see a snake move?" You want real comedy, see stuff by George Carlin or Richard Pryor or Steve Allen or George Burns or Colin Quinn or The Three Stooges or Marx Brothers or Daniel Tosh. God, even Gallagher's better than that hack Dane Cook. He also steals a lot of his act, did you know?

I'm rather conservative, but even I know Bill O'Reilly isn't an intellectual. He's not so moronic as is sometimes claimed, but he does ignore unpleasant truths a lot of the time.

Well then we find it funny for the same reason. I don't consider Dane cook comedy, and I don't consider Bill O'Reilly to be an intellectual. =D

It's just also meta-ironic because it's funny because the statement isn't intellectually sound... so does comedy beat intellect? Honestly, I'm sure someone versed in literary deconstruction could have an absolute field day with that joke, and find meta-meta-meta ironies and some sort of sexist, heteronormative meaning hidden in there...

Well, I'm glad I made everyone laugh.
=D
