I'm glad we finally got the flying bug poll, but holy poo poo why was OK Baizou permabanned??

every ban or permaban from one side of the forums war had to be met with a ban or permaban from the other side of the forums war to avoid accusations of bias and impropriety

this naturally resulted in both sides coming together on things such as "don't post gore", "don't cheerlead genocides and human rights violations", and "this site is not run by genocide apologists"

Even if Russia withdraws to the other bank and cedes Kherson city, likely gonna be a lot of sitting around staring at one another across obnoxious natural and manmade onstacles and firing artillery.

The GURPS historical books are annoyingly well researched and written for a game not intended for anyone to play.

Correct. No-one should actually play GURPS

The balanced permabans thing is so funny. Fair and balanced, as all things must be.

Disagree. GURPS is a good set of sourcebooks and ways to quantize things, its a miserable game system to actually play outside of the core 3d6 mechanic

you know what happens to the character of Boromir...right? also Tolkien wrote that they were only able to retake osgiliath because Boromir was an idiot who fell for a feint attack to distract from what was going on in the main plot. The whole point of that thing was to show that Boromir was a shortsighted dumbass focused on hollow self important victories and not the important stuff

anyways, yeah, good metaphor lol

I mean, not really, as a a system. It's good as the material origin of deeply researched sourcebooks, but the GURPS system itself was never good, not for doing the D&D knockoff it was originally designed for, certainly not for any of the high concept settings it accured... It's never the best system for anything, but it might the only system for some things.

My impression of the QCS thread was that certain people were singled out as targets of moral outrage, and all I can suggest is to post as calmly and cleanly as you can, and assume the worst faith reading of anything you write.

So, stay above the fray and don’t engage with people pushing the Huns’ monstrosities in Brave Little Belgium.




If they want to say the Boche uses Belgian babies for bayonet practice or crucified a Belgian soldier to a barn, don’t mock it, don’t “deny” it, just realize that’s the narrative, put it in context and carry on.

Welp, so it goes. Was a good thread while it lasted for the many very productive discussions it produced, but all things end.

Still waiting to get the Mons Myth delivered (still stuck on physical books).

It’s a great book, and I feel you, I have quite a few out there somewhere in the world, and it’s a nice surprise when they arrive.
