We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!
It could also be a place to discuss X-Play !
Is that one-a them newfangled Vee Dee Oh Game thingamajiggers you youngsters are always fartin' about with?
In which case, yes, it could be a place to discuss it.
If it's a porn thing, you already have Natter and Bitches.
Well, I'm really only interested in board games, but I'm happy to have a place to get recommendations (that is, besides just asking billytea).
I'll just ignore all the scary RPG talk.
It is unlikely I would be a participant, but I will happily be part of the quorum for y'all. Sounds like a good plan.

It's not the talk that's scary.
It's the players.
I'm also a big lover of board games, so I'll be in there going both ways.

No, it's a hilarious TV SHOW about them!
mmmmm...Morgan Webb.
Exactly.
I'm not sure I see why there's a serious need for a game thread. I don't really count "I'd like to talk X, Y, and Z with people X, Y, and Z!" as a strike for it, because that way leads to increased threadsprawl and more niche threads for underwater basket weaving or what have you. And I'm against threadsprawl in the first place, as it does feel like our increased sprawl has impacted the feel of community in a negative sense.
Which is argument 367 in the Where Do We Go From Here conversation, I know.

Ultimately I think those of us who want a gaming thread would really enjoy it, but I suspect that most of us are not so attached to the idea that if it doesn't happen we'll be HARTBORKEN 4EVAH.

So, it's game porn, then.

Well, a few people have stated, myself included, that such talk tends not to have a place where it can comfortably happen and often gets lost in the noise of the closest approximation of a related thread, i.e. Other Media. Other Media seems to be a "I'd like to talk X, Y and Z with people X, Y and Z" thread, so...
Which is, I believe, Variant D of Response 367 in the Where Do We Go From Here discussion.

Yeah, I mean, I won't die and I don't wanna get all het up about it. I think it'd be awesome if we could take this opportunity to proclaim the Where Do We Go From Here discussion as having been addressed so as to avoid the tiring rehashing of it.
