Especially when he's the one who always says that gameplayers should use their "imagination" to create "clever" "interpretations and meanings" for paraphrasing OOC actions in IC words. |

Exactly, roleplayers are the ones who make up shit, gameplayers do things. |

I know 3WB isn't "officially" targeting the GA yet but great job on stomping Ryberg's emigration thing anyway. It would be passing right now were it not for your efforts. Keep up the good work. |

I notice you're not stomping on the current GA resolution at vote. I'm a little disappointed, though not surprised. It smells a bit like...hypocrisy. |

Oh yes there are plenty of ways to "RP" recognition of the SC, I considered most of them, none of them seemed amusing, especially since most of them would have involved Urgench's diplomats accepting the worth of condemning people because you don't like them and commending them because you're gay for their shit. Or there was the delectable pleasure of having to engage in debates with the infants and developmentally challenged who constitute the Raider/Defender axis ("axis" is too political a word, perhaps "encounter group" is fairer). Though you're right, if "even [you], can see there are a number of ways to roleplay the SC" perhaps I'm being stoopid about this whole thing, perhaps I should submit myself to the intoxicating pleasure of roleplaying with unabashed Nazi trolls, painfully un-self-conscious GPers with frighteningly adolescent (and totally unwarranted) persecution complexes, assorted other political illiterates, and down right batshit crazy space-cadets like the incomparable Miss Ryberg. The fact that the 4th rule finally holds out some hope that the SC might be able to draw in a broader set of players, some of whom might actually have read a book or two and be capable of writing at a standard exceeding that of an ill-humoured, under-achieving 13 year old, is clearly secondary to the far greater aim of continuing to allow the SC to host hormone addled rows about the "politics" of region griefing, or seminars in despair regarding the "achievements" of administrators of offsite forums. No, you're quite right, how shockingly deficient of me, I ecstatically submit to the process of having the void in my cranium injected to brimming with this hot white essence of intellectual superabundance.

Three of my great-uncles fought in WWII. In the European theater. In fact, one of them was in the Army Air Corps and took part in the firebombing of Dresden. Every time I see your flag, hear about that despicable region of yours, or read one of your posts, I'm reminded of how just and honorable that mission was. |

Yeah in all honesty I can't even begin to describe how revolting I find Nazi regions and players . My Great Grandfather fought in the North African Campaign, my family were bombed out of their homes in inner city London. That anyone thinks it's amusing or diverting to promote Nazism by adopting its symbols and other accoutrements in the context of a game is deeply disgusting to me. That the SC has seen fit to condemn NAZI EUROPE for entirely the wrong reasons is further proof of its total unfitness for purpose. I've long thought that the ban on Swastikas should be extended to include Nazi regions and nations, allowing real or pretended Nazis to proliferate within NS is odious in the extreme and turns NS in to a network for the dissemination of the most appalling and grotesque ideology ever developed. That one of these real or pretended Nazis is one of the chief spokespersons of the 3WB, and a gleeful troll who enjoys creating discord and enmity, is utterly mystifying to me. If Gameplayers want to be taken seriously in the current controversy they could do better than allowing themselves to be represented by a Nazi troll. |

^ All of this. Also, I was convinced at some point that Nazi Europe didn't deserve a condemnation because one could approach Nazism from a sort of rational framework, however alien that might be to me. This has not been borne out by the behavior of just about anybody in NE or any other Nazi-themed region, and OMD's attempt to differentiate between "bad Nazis" and not "bad Nazis" has pretty much decayed into complete and utter crap. One can't claim to be a "better" version of a Nazi while retaining all of the hallmark qualities of the Nazi stereotype, foremost among them is to joke about the Holocaust, however obliquely. The silence among the founders of 3WB on the behavior and speech patterns of one of their staunch allies speaks volumes, believe me. |
