Hey /tg/, it's been a few years since I've come here and I wanted to see if anything's changed.
When I left:
> RubyQuest had just died off, but was still easy enough to reference
> Touhoufags were killing the board, egged on by the popularity of MaidRPG
> MaidRPG polarised the board, and the threads generally devolved into people accusing everyone of being eRPers and forcing their fetishes into games
> Macha still hadn't gotten laid
> LIVII was dead
> 40K players believed they owned these boards
> 3.5 was still system of choice
> WFRP 2nd Ed was considered a player-killer
What's changed in my absence? What's new, and what plagues the boards now?
>>46083712
Well lurking the fuck moar hasn't changed. So get to it.
>>46083712
It's all just SJWs, Dungeon World, and quest/ERP threads now.
Everyone keeps to their generals, gamefinder is basically dead.
>>46083712
>Macha still hadn't gotten laid
This much hasn't changed.
>>46083740
Familiar
>>46083746
... what the hell is Dungeon World?
>>46083751
Is she still talked about?
Oh, and is Wolf Cunt still head of the Space Wolves?
>>46083712
>Macha still hasn't got laid.
Yeah there was a couple fics that dealt with her devirgining and LCB stuff in general that blew up into an weekend smut thread with loads of written and some drawn lewd of various quality for like 2 years before shitposters basically won and filled the threads so much with trolling that the mods couldn't do individual bans and had to get rid of the threads which is why said smutposters moved to /d/.
>>46083751
Well except for the ton of average to mediocre smutfics about Macha getting laid.
And a fair bit of LIVII and Taldeer dickings too.
But I'm guessing that's not part of your headcanon.
>>46083712
>> 40K players believed they owned these boards
Still true
> RubyQuest had just died off, but was still easy enough to reference
> Touhoufags were killing the board, egged on by the popularity of MaidRPG
> MaidRPG polarised the board
Never heard of RubyQuest, Maid Quest is just an amusing novelty, Touhou fags are gone
> threads generally devolved into people accusing everyone of being eRPers and forcing their fetishes into games
Eternally true
> Macha still hadn't gotten laid
> LIVII was dead
Not sure when LIVII died, so guess thats not true. Macha being the ever virgin is still a meme but not one really banged on.
> 3.5 was still system of choice
It's still the system of choice for bitching about? It will always be what people mean when they talk about D&D without specifying an edition. That being said, seems like it's not that popular to play
> WFRP 2nd Ed was considered a player-killer
Isn't high lethality the point of warhammer?
Also >metathreads
>>46083853
Huh. So a cleanse of smut happened, but left behind the trolls.
Sounds about right.
>>46083917
Catgirls are now canon thanks to the Felinids
>>46083841
You remember Vince Baker, cringemaster game designer and forge pretensionmaster extraordinaire?
He made a game that was "Narrative game, but using D&D stats to trick plebs" that was incredibly popular that was a hack of a "Gays having sex in the postapocalypse" game.
>>46083891
Interesting. At least the Touhoufags are gone. An enlightening primer.
Also, does anyone even play the new Warhammer? When Fantasy went roundbase, I died a fair bit inside.
>>46083917
To be fair it was a really long 2 years and is still technically up in /d/ and now occasionally /aco/.
Also they've never stopped. The 1d4chan page '/tg/s smut index' has a stuuuupid amount of fics and a fair bit of pics too. Check it out...for historical documentation.
>>46083712
nowadays the biggest plague on the board is a general negative attitude.
After the success of getting "elf wat do" threads removed, EVERYONE is trying to declare something or other the new plague on the board, which has really damaged conversation.
40k is the new plague, quests are the new plague, generals are the new plague, card games are the new plague, everyone has a bone to pick with everyone else.
>>46083947
How anime do the canon furry minis look?
>>46083948
Gross.
>>46083967
Interesting, will indeed check it out. For historical documentation, of course.
>>46084018
Well, with the banning of a fair chunk of shitposting, I can see how our surly community would just attack each other. The 'universal targets' removed, who else is there to abuse?
>>46084018
>nowadays the biggest plague on the board is a general negative attitude.
Been here every day since 2007. This is absolutely true.
>>46084019
Ironically the whole idea of making a smut archives was in case the threads got nuked and as a place where the content creators could deposit and sort out their fics with ease.
Hell you can search it for fetishes or characters and its organized by author too.
>>46084129
I think it might be time to purge those archives, so that the smutfags finally give up hope and stop trying to worm their off-topic chatter back here.
You can be a smutfag and post on /tg/, but you need to post /tg/ on /tg/, not /d/ on /tg/. It seems like that lesson still hasn't been learned, so we might as well just wipe their stuff from 1d4chan, along with replacing it with a banner that just says "ABANDON ALL HOPE, YE WHO CONTINUE TO TRY TO BREAK THE RULES."
>>46083891
>Macha being the ever virgin is still a meme but not one really banged on.
exactly.
>>46084282
Dude, you've already driven off the smut crowd, you can stop with the mentally unhinged shitposting now.
>>46083751
Except for all the erotic fanfiction of self-inserts banging Macha silly
>>46084019
There are no canon furry minis, besides the SWs, and the Felinids have been around longer than I've been into the hobby. So, at least before 5th.
>>46084789
They're still here, they just lost their generals. There are still plenty of "have you bullied your healer today" type bullshit threads around.
>>46083712
>Annoying, but mercifully brief plague of "Excuse me" Warhammer nitpick threads
>Quest threads are even more prevalent than before, and the increase in quantity has brought a sharp drop in quality
>TwoDee's Shadowrun Storytime reached its conclusion
>Loads of fetish threads, and fetish shitposters (such as a namefag called NiceDaemonette)
>>46084789
No one wants to "drive anyone off".
Everyone just wants less shitposting.
And smutposting is just another way of saying /d/-flavored shitposting.
It's clear the Smut crowd haven't actually left /tg/, and that's fine as long as they want to post about traditional games. The only issue comes from when they start spamming retarded "magical realm" threads in hopes of somehow using that as a bridge to get their smut threads back here.
We got some interesting quests since you last came.
Civilization games (controlling a civ rather than a character) go in and out of fashion, with cyclops civ being the last big one, and the same QM (name of cyclopsOP) is running a 'just this side of /d/toolewd' homunculus civ quest every Saturday.
We got like... Two or three people running semi regular 'skirmish quests' where 10-30 separate players all control a single unit in a fire emblem style game, gotta keep an eye out for them.
>>46083712

>Bridge
Nigger they are already off the fucking site. And if they want /tg/ related smut they just go off site.
You need to calm down, its pretty clear how you feel about /tg/ OC, and I'm gonna guess you are one of those vindictive trolls that basically had to outshitpost the smut thread, ruining your point.
Given the fact that they are still around on other parts of 4chan and here.
>>46084999
You're paranoid as all hell
Take a chill pill
>>46085071
If we're going to bring up civ style quests I feel like Hive Queen Quest should get an honorable mention. It was huge before it went on haitus, easily one of the highest trafficked on the board. I can't think of any other quest on the archives which every single thread got 20+ ratings, outside of a few /a/ imports. There's also Death Among the Stars Quest which uses a similar format and is currently running.
>>46084282
>>46084999
No one made you the king of /tg/ dude, and the only reason the smut threads went down is because of the shitposters attacking it and to quit their rule breaking. The threads were doing just fine for 2 years before that.
>>46085296
RIP, one of the best quests ever written. The QM could've made it a book.
Why is Touhoufag being gone a good thing?
>>46084983
>Quest threads are even more prevalent than before
Lies. Quests are dying.
>>46085487
If only. They are in a lull right now but wait till summer and they'll go back up their 30 threads/night heights.
>>46083948
>He made a game
Vincent Baker had nothing to do with DW other than creating Apocalypse World.
>>46085268
You might be right, and there's no longer any of those idiots who are so headfucked that they don't even recognize when they're breaking the rules with off-topic-
Oh, wait.
>>46085313
It's one of those guys who still has hopes of bringing the ERP/Smut Threads back here. Looks like they never learn.
>>46085335
HE WILL RETURN
IT IS WRITTEN
>>46085519
Also right now there are 26 threads that fall under the aegis of collective games, 14 quests, 4 Civs, 3 Builders, and 5 CYOA threads.
>>46083712
>> 40K players believed they owned these boards
Believed, nothing...
>>46085574
You are an overt liar. I count 9 quests, 2 civs, 1 CYOA, with one of those quests on the cusp of falling off the board.
>>46085555
Of all the myriad of retarded and hypocritical arguments you used to argue for a purge of any and all smut, saying that they're off topic was objectively the most cancerous. /tg/ wouldn't be /tg/ if off topic posting wasn't allowed here.
>>46085658
Am I, that is what my filter is pulling up.

>>46085815
Never going to happen, enjoy your dead board when that happens. Only thing people will post in is generals.
>>46085769
I'd post a full screen but you'd just yell shooped, so I won't bother.
>>46085694
A little off-topic is fine. Too much, and problems arise. What you fail to comprehend is a sense of "balance."
An eternal general dedicated to off-topic chatter isn't exactly conducive to anything except being disruptive, obnoxious, and setting a bad precedent. This is all largely self-evident, and explaining this to you is largely a formality, since you should already know and understand this.
If you really want to go to your "paradise" where off-topic chatter is embraced, you can relocate yourself to /b/, /r9k/, /s4s/, /trash/, or any of those other "we don't need any other boards" boards.
>filtering /tg/
Truly the worst thing to have ever happened.
These people should be forced to see the things they don't like until they leave.
>>46085694

Yes, because going through "Magical Butler Waifu Quest part MCCXVIII - In which we get sempai to notice us" and its ilk is the most important thing to enjoying /tg/.
>>46085889
So...why do you come here? Just to shitpost?
>>46085927
Well, I want to at least point out he's a shit for saying /tg/ was never the best.
At least according to moot, at one point, we were.
>>46083712

>>46085904
It was, it consisted by at least 4 threads with anons discussing on where to go next, but was quickly forgotten about just like everything else on /tg/ this days just like;

>>46085770
>/tg/ is our containment board retort
I really hate it when the 40kids say that, or go through the whole "/tg/ was made because of 40k" myth. They really have no proof outside of exaggerating how important they thought WW were, and all signs point to
it being just Moot's way of getting all the non-video-game game threads onto their own board. It's called /tg/ after all, and not /40k/ or /GW/.
It wouldn't be such an issue if it wasn't that they try to use the whole "TG WAS MADE FOR 40K" to excuse themselves whenever they're acting obnoxious and doing lame things like spamming primarch and other pointless threads that might as well be tossed inside the 40k general.
>>46085313

>>46086065
That's clearly a joke, especially since there's essentially no slutty pictures delivered in that thread.
>>46085871
Oh I fully agree that everything must be in moderation, and having an excess of off topic posting is a bad thing.
It's just that this board in particular is renowned for turning shit threads into gold, and this argument is used heavily by people trying to purge particular topics they don't like and telling other people what they're doing is wrong.
Emblematic of the downhill turn this board has taken as of late, really.
>>46085555
>It's one of those guys who still has hopes of bringing the ERP/Smut Threads back here. Looks like they never learn.
You said it yourself they are still active and still are on this board maintaining a presence. And the funny part is the threads are just in a friendlier board with easy access. And since the majority of this board tends to occasionally drift to lewd from time to time...well it comes up in a whole lot of threads.
And you can't do shit about it, because all offending content has always been off site and for you to shut down the "smutfags" would mean you would have to shitpost half the threads on /tg/ because they offended your narrow standards.
Which is why you aren't and never will be a mod, so you can tone down the smugness and stop bragging about your constant ban evasion.
But whatever, ultimately no harm done. So maybe I am overreacting. But still...do try not to start shitposting this thread though, no need for an internet outburst as it were.
>>46085729
you fags with filters are as bad as the tumblrites with trigger words.
If you don't like thing don't engage thing. No one forces you to go in to a thread.
>>46084913
All written by Macha of course.
>>46086150
The problem is when people try and force the shitty thread into gold by intentionally posting shitty threads. It leads to unfunny shit like the Rape Factory.
>>46085971
>>skeletons have infected Table Top gaming through indie "fiction first" RPGs which have low amounts of rules to facilitate "safe" story-telling experiences where it's actually frowned upon for you to make a player feel bad by hurting their character without the express written consent of the table
Do you actually believe what you're typing? Holy shit man.
>>46086150
If you consider that screencap "gold", consider all your opinions disregarded.
More importantly, when people try to spin a shit thread into anything else, all they end up doing is bumping it and adding to its post count, further encouraging the shitposter to make more of those threads. The only right move is to ignore those threads, and spend your energy on making actually decent threads into gold.
Go in the archive, arrange the threads by reply count, and take a look at all the great threads that got less than 10 replies, all because they had to compete against half the board being covered in generals, alongside shit threads that idiots like you bump because you make the mistake in thinking you're discouraging the troll by giving him all the attention that he's craving in the first place.
>>46086204
That's probably the biggest problem here. This board certainly can turn shit threads into gold, but trying to actively make it happen is completely missing the point.

It all comes down to a matter of taste, I suppose. People such as yourself have your own interests, and regard anything outside of them shit for failing to gain your attention. Just out of curiosity, what do you consider decent or gold in a thread? I genuinely can't understand why anyone would spend any time on a board they think is entirely shit.

If look at my filters it is pretty much all variants of collective games with a side of smut threads. Pretty much all the specifics are ones that slip through the cracks by not following the normal naming conventions. My thread filters are pretty much all questfag trips that consistently forget to put quest in their subject line, as I occasionally browse the front page, old style.
>>46084018
Sorry but play by post forum games are a plague on /tg/. They aren't really relevant, they're completely autismal, they don't contribute to actual discussion of the hobby (which is what 4chan is primarily for, inb4 you shitpost otherwise) and drive actual discussion down the board. Generals are okay because they do the exact opposite - contain similar discussions to make room for others and keep all the people knowledgeable about a given subject in one place.

>>46086177
>maintaining a presence.
This is the problem. The smut crew often post just to try and exaggerate their presence on this board.
A little smut and lewdness is normal, but it's no secret that there's people here with a clear agenda. People like yourself, who hope to make statements like "And since the majority of this board tends to occasionally drift to lewd from time to time" unchallenged. The whole "/tg/ is /d/-lite" movement is the reason why people got upset, and it's often very obvious when people are just trying to push an agenda.
Before you talk about paranoia, it's been admitted by multiple individuals, and it's otherwise obvious. The Smut people like the speed of this board and the reputation it has as one of the less shitty boards. They have tried multiple times to bring back the ERP/Smut threads, under new monikers like Magical Realm threads etc.. They would much prefer being here than /d/, because /d/ is filled with creepy people who do nothing but discuss their fetishes all day. What they fail to realize is that their dislike for the /d/enizens is how the majority of /tg/ sees them, because they are really nothing more than misplaced /d/enizens who think they are somehow special and different from the rest.
Is /tg/ lewd? Apparently, only at its worst. Many of the most cringe-inducing, mindless threads are either "Let's try to clean up this fetish so I can insert it into my game without people realizing" threads, or just straight up blatant "Let's talk about my fetish" threads. These are the threads that are hardly anything to be proud of, and are barely tolerated.
I would like for lewdness to be a little like it was in the past, where a person could make a quick, flippant lewd joke without attracting any lewdites who felt the compulsion to derail the thread into a debate about their fetishes. It's this unhealthy exaggerated form of lewdness that is hardly amusing and rather tiring.
>>46086559

Instead of "elf slave wat do" we now have at least one "female knight wat do" thread per day.

>Is /tg/ lewd? Apparently, only at its worst.

These are the threads that are hardly anything to be proud of, and are barely tolerated.
Which is why concentrating it to 2 or 3 threads a weekend is a little more preferable then just having lewd derails in all of the threads discussing more serious topics. You seem to have forgotten the whole point of a quarantine thread that moves so much of its material off site is that it acts as a valve to let folks blow off steam and keep their fetish thoughts or whatever SOMEWHERE ELSE other then /tg/.
>>46086571
How long are you going to keep up your one man crusade to force your tastes on this entire board? /tg/ has always been lewd, and it is far worse off for attempts to force it to be anything else. Jesus Christ, just let it go already.
>>46086675
/pol/, /trash/, and /s4s/ proves that containment as a policy does not work for 4chan as a whole, let alone a topic on a board that the majority doesn't want to discuss.

>>46086730
>implying everyone on /tg/ isn't inherently lewd.
>>46086675
No.
No, none of that "Purge" mentality bullshit. It was a stupid movie, and you're an idiot for thinking along those lines.
Even so, if they need to purge, there's an entire board for that. Call it a quarantine board if you want. In fact, with the addition of /trash/, there's now two entire quarantine boards they can take their overwhelming need to talk about their fetishes.
Look, this is hardly a new idea. Every time the mods have permitted a "Lewd General" on /tg/, the same thing has happened. Marked increase in lewd shitposting (not just lewd posting, specifically lewd shitposting), and the General eventually turning into a repetitive circle-jerk of /d/ discussion. Calling it a "release valve" is hardly correct, when it's better being called a "home base" or "spawning pit" or simply "malignant tumor."

>>46086826
> Lewdness just got much worse after you destroyed /wst/.
Hardly. At best, that can be explained by the Lewdites being upset and hoping to spam their way back onto this board. It tends to come in waves, where the board reaches a sort of stasis where any lewd comments are at least remotely on topic, and then for a few days the lewdites get uppity before being shouted down and told to shut up and stick to either their thread in /soc/, in /d/, or the one's that occasionally get made in /b/.
I don't really understand what their end goal is. Do they just want the mods to eventually move a Lewd General to every other board? Because, going by the track record, that's a far more believable outcome than the idea of a /d/ general being tolerated on /tg/.
>>46086828

They were just light porn threads that started with a picture of Thulsa Doom and a demand for porn. Then all the porn was posted with the text "Bitches for Thulsa Doom."
The first time it happened it was kinda funny, mostly because the OP stayed in character and commented about the women. Then it got ran into the ground.
>>46086930
Man quests showed up almost immediately after /tg/ was formed and have been here for almost the entire time.
It always makes me grumpy how shit changed after the nazimod days and everyone forgot how things used to be.
>>46086907
Allow me to describe them to you.
Person posts a picture of Thulsa Doom, the villain from the first Conan movie played by James Earl Jones, alongside the phrase "BITCHES FOR THULSA DOOM!"
This would then be followed by him, and potentially other people, posting pictures of naked women, or women scantily clad but with the appropriate parts exposed.
Now, tell me, do you understand what's wrong with that kind of thread, aside from it being on a work-safe board?
>>46086959
>>46086975
Honestly they sound preferable to metathreads and metabitching.
A lot more fun for sure.
>>46086998
If you think so, then please, make your way over to /s/. It's literally a single click away.
>>46086998
A metathread is like a release valve, they keep it from spewing in all the other threads.
>>46087020
thankfully, there are more threads on /tg/ than metathreads.
>>46087026
People who post because they hate things are different than people who post because they like things.
People who post because they hate things insist on making sure everyone knows it.
>>46086975
>Now, tell me, do you understand what's wrong with that kind of thread, aside from it being on a work-safe board?
I really don't. What about the occasional cheesecake thread that triggers you so?
This is something I have real difficulty understanding. We've always had threads like that, and there is little demand apart from a vocal minority to stop that. Why do you lot insist on changing the way things have always been, when most of the board disagrees with you and your shitposting is clearly making things as whole worse? Is a single or a couple of threads out of over 100 really worth trashing this board for?
>less than 10% of the board appeals to my taste
>read thread
>people are outraged that less than 50% of the board is taken up by a thing they don't like
Oh my god you are the worst people
>>46087041
How do you even come up with that logic?
>People who post because they hate things are different than people who post because they like things.
They're really one and the same. They're offering their opinions, and they want their opinions to be heard. You really think that the people who like things don't want people to see their posts? If that were the case, they simply wouldn't make them.
If anything, the people who make threads about liking a topic are seeking far more attention than people who criticize that topic, because the latter group didn't make a thread on a public forum.
>>46087121
>this is about having opinions and wanting to be heard!
This is the difference.
It is about having a discussion you enjoy. Not some kind of goddamn political dissertation.
>>46087082
>I really don't.
So, you're an idiot.
That's the bottom line. I am no longer talking to you, I am forced to talk about you, to use you as an example for other people to point at and to say "Look, it's a rulebreaking idiot who doesn't even understand why Thulsa Doom threads were a bannable offense as early as the first month that the guy started posting them."
>We've always had threads like that
Yes, we have had off-topic shitposts forever. And they've always been a bannable offense.
An occasional off-topic thread is fine, especially if it's original and exciting and it's made with the intention of sparking traditional games discussion. But, repeated off-topic threads are hardly that, especially when the first thread devolved into off-topic chatter, as did the second, as did the third. When people are making threads and only paying lip-service to traditional games, breaking the spirit of the rules while pretending to adhere to the letter of the law, they are obnoxiously saying "my personal interests are so important, I can spam them wherever I like."
You think the problem is just one thread, but it's not just one thread. And it's not just one type of off-topic shitposting. Without the rules in place, and everyone acting under your assumption that people should be free to post whatever they like, we end up losing a traditional games board and simply adding another /b/, which isn't fair to the people who come here to discuss traditional games.
You apparently need this explained to you. You think that this is some new change, rather than the same rules that have always been there.
And that makes you an idiot.

You want a hugbox rather than to hear honest opinions then. You are afraid of opinions that you don't share, and scared of any confrontation that might force you to perform any sort of self-examination.
What you want is Reddit. Seriously. You go to the subreddit of the topic of your choice, fall into the hugbox, and enjoy a calm, happy reassurance that your tastes are not to be challenged by anyone.
>>46087315

No, these people want a hugbox.

Because it's not about the rules for the sake of the rules, it's about being able to discuss traditional games. Yes, I'm making an exception right now, because if I didn't, you would continue with your moronic devotion to shitposting.

I literally do not know whether to laugh or put my face in my hands and cry.
>>46087425
If you cared about traditional games discussion, you would follow the anti-meta-discussion rule.
Because people meta-bitching about what belongs here and what doesn't is as big if not bigger a shitpost topic than lewd, even in traditionally /tg/ related topics like 40k.

Anon, you have to see how awful you are being.
If a thread is interesting it has a right to live. If people find something interesting, they will talk about it. If you want them to talk about it somewhere else, don't come across as an ass. By making a fool of yourself, you strengthen their position by making them look good in comparison.
I shall now attack your person even more directly: rules-lawyering is a poor trait in a tabletop gamer. It makes the game less of a game and more of a chore. You are not one I would relish sharing a table with.
Finally, it's 4chan. It's almost all crap, but cries of "off topic" will only make things worse. Please quietly leave a report, and leave the people be.
In short: you're shouting to the wrong people.
>>46084018
It hurts how prophetic this was for how the thread went.
>>46087563
Please, don't try to deflect the point. It's quite a poor tactic, especially when you do so in a hypocritical "anti-sjw-boogeyman" manner.
And, the point, ladies and gentleman in the crowd, is that complaining about someone complaining about shitposting is hardly a stance to take when hoping to defend off-topic shitposting.
>>46083712
Quests are still here and they aren't going anywhere.
Touhoufags are all but extinct.
Macha jokes are occasional but nowhere near where they used to be.
Most non-Quest non-general threads are about 40k, MtG, and Alignment sperging.
We've had consistent "Drawthreads" for quite some time. They vary in post quality and creative output.
A man-sized perineum called virtualoptim shat around here for awhile. He got banned and now we don't really talk about him.
Every now and then we get a thinly-veiled attempt at smutthreads. Usually along the lines of "hay sup teeg so let's make a setting. The catch?you gotta make it your Magical Realm without anyone knowing"
Denizens of the board are completely paranoid of internet moonbats taking over our D&D. Apparently SJWs have turned tabletop gaming into some kind of propaganda machine.
/tg/ers continue the proud tradition of saying "I don't like thing!" while continuing to do thing.
>>46087619
>you're defending off topic shitposting!
If you'd pay attention, he is actually telling you that you are a shit for off topic shitposting.
And that your off topic shitposts are as bad, if not worse, than other people's off topic shitosts.
>>46087528
Are you even listening to yourself anymore? Try going back and reading your posts, only assume you were arguing the opposite point.
>>46087613
It's how every single thread like this goes. Shit this one wasn't even a bitching thread.
>>46087641
It still hurts, man.
How do these people not see themselves?
>>46087597
>If a thread is interesting it has a right to live. If people find something interesting, they will talk about it
There are a hundred threads on /d/ right now, all with people discussing those topics. Over ten thousand threads appear and disappear on /b/ each day. The idea that "if people will discuss it, it belongs on that board" is faulty for that reason, because people are willing to discuss anything, regardless of whether it's on the appropriate board or not.
>>46087667
Similarly, the idea that it is legitimate to complain that something should not be on the board is also faulty, as people will complain over anything, whether it is board appropriate or not.
>>46087649
I really wish the mods would step up and start publicly banning these people, they are just incapable of seeing how awful they're being and refuse to stop. They're almost as bad as virt without a trip, only with meta posts about /tg/ instead of elf girls and Dungeon World.
It is your right to not like so and so and to filter threads.
You have no right coming into a thread and telling people what to like/do though, if you don't like it either report/hide the thread and leave or just leave.
By replying to the shitposters you become yourself a shitposter, doesn't matter if it is to point the rules on what is a bannable offense or anything else.
You are not a janitor or a mod, you are a shitposter. Just like everyone of us who are having this debate on shitpost.
>>46087649
Because people like pushing their agendas given the slightest excuse to. Some people cannot stand that other people have different interests then them.
>>46087697
>>46087691
I think that's my biggest problem with that kind of people.
This is about pushing their agenda to them. Not about playing or talking about traditional games.
>>46087715
Exactly. I wasn't the biggest fan of /wst/ but the way these autists drove them off, and the arguments they used to justify doing so was nothing but detrimental to /tg/ as a whole. As this thread demonstrates brilliantly.
One of my few favorite kind of threads, the Draw Your Party threads, are now heretical for some god forsaken reason.
/tg/ never fails to disappoint.
>>46087798
Yeah, that's why I hate the "not muh board" folks.
You can't even have a goddamn draw your party thread.
>>46087694
This is the logic of a shitposter who is out of options.
You can't defend your shitposting, so your only hope is to say "please, don't complain about my shitposting, or you'll be just as bad!"
Please, try to defend your shitposting. Go on. I can defend mine, quite easily even, because it's helping to educate shitposters like yourself. It's a harsh sacrifice, but one I'm willing to make, woe is me, but considering that it's far better to calmly and rationally explain to you what's going to happen so when it does you don't make the same mistake again, it's somewhat necessary.
Why do you persist in this cycle? You shitpost, people tell you to cool it, you shitpost harder, people complain more, your shitposting escalates, and suddenly it's no longer the nice, patient folk, but the hoards of ticked off people who run you out with pitchforks and torches. You seem to think that when people complain, they're doing it by accident.
You might not believe it, but I'm rather tolerant of shitposting. I browse 4chan. But, I also know when idiots are going down a particular route, as I've seen it happen several times before. It can all be avoided by just not shitposting in the first place, but since you seem convinced that your personal brand of shitposting isn't shitposting, it seems like you're just going to have to learn the hard way, and the hard way is finding out that crying "please don't complain about my shitposting" is a fast track for making things even worse.
>>46087697
>Because people like pushing their agendas given the slightest excuse to.
Oh god, you don't even see yourselves anymore.
>>46087836
You... You can't be serious
>>46087715
>>46087791
It's rather hypocritical, really. Flooding online image threads with vitriol is in no way related to table-top games. Of course, as >>46087836 says, I make a hypocrite of myself by feeding the fire.
Still, feeding the trolls can be good for the occasional lark. THIS, for example, is hilarious.
As thanks for the laugh, have a present.
>>46087860
I think they're aware.
I for one, dislike the people who started pushing agendas in the first place for bringing politics to a holy place like /tg/.
It's not democrats or republicans, but by pushing an agenda as to what can be on here, you are by necessity forcing people to have the opposite agenda if they don't want you running roughshod. Which means EVERYONE has to be at least as loud as the most vocal minority or else they get their way.
>>46083712

>>46087836

Technically, it's "don't shitpost that things shouldn't be on /tg/".
Since you do that about literally every topic.

He dodged a bullet by not writing out another huge shitpost.

>>46088054
Oh, the times i felt that particular feel.
You suddenly stop.
Your facial expression softens, for even it wasn't necessarily an angry one, your jaw was still awfully stiff.
You pull your hands away from the keyboard.
You feel a metaphorical weight being lifted from your shoulders and your wrists.
You then, finally, feel a mix of regret and relief.
>>46088111

The lady in this case is 4chan, the slaggiest slut there ever was, or will be and she doesn't want your dick.

I'm confused, are you saying I should've replied to him?
>>46088138
Alas, I know that feel not, for I have seen this anon before and know he will return and devote himself to shitting all over this board in the future.
I wish he would get a trip or name so I could at least call him out.
I believe that more than any other board, /tg/ has become a victim of its own reputation. All those screencaps of Sir Bearington and the like float around, giving people the impression that /tg/ is a lot more exciting than it really is.
When it's not a Magic or general thread It always feels like people are trying way too hard here to make the next epic screencap.
>>46087649
Self-reflection is hard enough for normal people in normal, face to face situations. Get a bunch of autistic neckbeards responding to nameless, faceless, endless lines of text on a screen and we might as well be a nation of Phineas Gages.
>>46088142
Really, let's not play pretend. Replying in that manner isn't dropping the issue.
I understand you like cute games, but replying with "I'm not going to reply to you" is still a reply.
Want to really take the high road? Actually ignore it, instead of pretending that you had some great post or following it up with "no, really, it just wasn't worth replying to."
Let me put that as the final line. If you reply beyond this point, the game ends, with your loss. Just actually ignore it.

I love Saint Seiya, I asked once a long time ago about the armors, they can give their power to their weaver or shut themselves down if he turned to be lame. I've got booted of /a/ because this topic wasn't /a/, I went to /m/ and asked there and got booted because the armor wasn't a mech and the "spirit" of the armor wasn't something man made, thus not /m/.
Went to /tg/ because yeah, that sounded like an machine spirit or a daemon and got told to bring that shit to /a/ because it wasn't /tg/.
A few of the answers I got where quite nice and had a lot in common with the other boards.
>>46088353
More likely, everyone else will get forced out first, and /tg/ will end up being nothing but people accusing each other of talking about things that aren't /tg/ related.
