I think a gaming thread would be neat. Sean, weren't you asking around for people to input ideas on a game, or was that CaBil?
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!
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!

I'm with Plei, Jessica and bon bon.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
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.
Wait, what? Thread creation talk without drama on either side?

I would most likely never ever visit a gaming thread, however...
I do think there are enough members who would use it-probably even more than the Other Media thread. In addition to the gamers we have, there may be other buffistas who have an interest, even if they've never played.
And (I think this is a not insignificant point), most of the people who are interested post a lot, I think that would keep the thread pretty well sustained.

OTOH, since there doesn't seem to be any gaming discussion currently happening, at least a gaming thread wouldn't be leeching good conversation from a currently active thread.
Those people against the idea of a gaming thread, please consider this.
It's not like we're leeching conversation. In fact, it would just be a small portion of us finding a corner to talk about things you're probably not terribly interested in.
Sean, weren't you asking around for people to input ideas on a game, or was that CaBil?
I was looking for input. Or rather, I had started a section of my never used LJ to talk about game design, and I'm the suckiest, least updating LJer in the history of ever.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think the arguments for a gaming thread are the same arguments for a cooking thread, really.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Yeah, but I don't wanna talk about cooking.
It's all about me, really.
(Ow! Sorry, my tongue was in my cheek and I bit it.)

You should really cook that. Much more tender that way.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I'd probably support a cooking thread for much the same reason I'd support a gaming thread.
I will say that i think a gaming thread fits with the overall theme of buffistas (in my head anyway, and in a way I can't quite articulate).
