I don't know why everything has to be so contentious. :( I like both sides! Here is nice to post about how much I hate what was done to the books, and there is nice to post about how much I like what they've done with the show. Can't we all be friends?

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

I considered working a very subtle spoiler into my new avatar, but felt it was amusing enough as is. Not that I'd post in that thread anyway. I still haven't even seen the first season! :v:

Who the hell is so lazy they couldn't read 1 lovely book in the 10 months it's been between episodes?

It's like people lamenting the wait for The Girl Who Farted on Dragons or the Hunger Games sequels.

Just shut up and read the crappy trash fiction, you heathens.

:argh:

How much TVIV sucks: fans of Twilight didn't wait a year to find out the next part of the story from a movie/show. They read the books.

Twilight fans are smarter and more cultured than TVIV.

Well, yeah, that's sort of it. I guess I don't understand the appeal of going into another thread just to spoil people. I don't disagree that there are uh, oversensitive people when it comes to what constitutes being spoiled and I don't think they help matters either, but sometimes people would do it for sport to people who just want to watch a (pretty good) TV show. It doesn't make sense to me why both sides can't leave each other alone to do what they do. Why must there be this war? :(

Maybe GRRM has been foreshadowing the fight between internet threads about his books through his books. He's more of a wizard than I realized.

Didn't they make a spoiler thread in TVIV last year? I thought they had two threads like the book barn does. You should be able to talk about the show in that thread when it's up (probably won't be made until the day of the premiere)

He will blow The Horn of Lowtax and tear down our paywall and then he will march south to Goons with Spoons to trade lemoncakes recipes, and post about the Giants in SAS.

We, as in the active posters in The Bad Thread, never actually did anything to the season 1 thread, but we got all the blame for it. Our thread got shut down, several of us put on month long probations, and yet the TVIV thread was still a hellhole.

Last season a bunch of Bad Thread posters made JOKES about ruining the show for the TVIV dweebs, and it was funny. Then some idiots who apparently lurked this thread or maybe just had similar ideas or something started actually trolling that thread, and all the Wildcards said "knock it the gently caress off dumb poo poo" but instead half of them got probated and the thread got closed two or three times. Also some TVIV people came into the Bad Thread to whine about people posting spoilers in their thread and then were SHOCKED I SAY when the Bad Thread was Bad. Which somehow also caused probation and poo poo even though this is a yes-spoilers thread and they went out of their way to click on it.

It was all pretty lovely.

  • Please do not post spoilers either explicitly, under tags, disguised as speculation or as questions leading non-readers down paths of speculation.
  • If you are not sure whether what you're about to post is a spoiler or not, err on the side of caution. Remember, you don't get to decide what is and isn't a spoiler.
  • Please do not use spoiler tags. If what you want post needs a tag, it doesn't belong in this thread.
  • If spoilers are posted, the thread will be closed until they have been removed.
  • Unless I hear otherwise, the no book talk rule remains in effect. If you want to sperg about adaptation changes, there is an entire internet where you can do so. Try the Westeros forums, they love that poo poo!
  • If your SA name is not Rarity, Sophia or EvilMoJoJoJo, please don't report posts. Instead, PM one of us three to take care of it. Hopefully this way we can avoid burying Aatrek in an avalanche of identical reports and he'll like us more
  • If you see a post containing spoilers/book talk, please don't post in response to it. You're just making things worse. Just PM and move on.
  • If someone posts spoilers shortly after one of your posts, please be considerate and edit in a warning for newbies to leave the thread.
  • Please do not post circlejerky in-jokes from the Bad Thread
  • All of these things can be summed up quite simply: please use some common sense.

Now that we've got that out of the way, let's move to the good stuff.

Just to warn you guys, I decided that every time Rarity closes her TVIV thread, I'll close this one.

My goal isn't necessarily to discourage spoiling that thread, but to point out how useless closing a thread is.

I don't think Fog Tripper was trolling, he just really hated the show.

My favorite parts of season one were Bambi drama and Green_Buccanneer denying the Renly Is Gay subtext.

Edit: oh and Sophia is there going to be a spoiler thread? I hope not because I'll end up reading it every week and all it ends up being is complaints, while the regular thread has all the newbie wide eyed wonder HOLKY gently caress going on and is much better.

Neither. I think her and Sophia probably mean well, but Rarity is no Wild Card and Sophia doesn't seem to realize what happened last time that stupid show was on. The Wild Cards were nearly wiped out. But we rose again, better, stronger, and glistening even more wetly than ever!

Rarity is a nice person and has been around for awhile and can't possibly be either of those two because neither of them would ever be watching Pretty Little Liars religiously like we do.

I like you Wild Cards, though I don't think I have the stones to be one of you, and I haven't ever reported anyone for anything in any of these crazy threads. I probably never will. But as a long-time ASOIAF book hater (still have not managed to make it through the entire series without giving up in disgust) I'm just hoping that people can have a nice time with a TV show that I actually liked. We are good-intentioned, I promise. :)
