Isn't Sean a cooking guru now?
Cacophony. That's pretty. What's it mean?

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 terrifically busy with my ennui.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
It's not leeching existing conversation, no, but it's shuttling off potential conversational topics into their own cul de sac, furthering the sprawl-based change from city to vast regions of suburbs.
But the feeling seems to be that it's difficult to get such potential conversational topics started in the available threads. So a gaming thread wouldn't be shuttling such topics off to the 'burbs, it'd be creating a space w/in city limits in which such topics could fluorish.
Like a rooftop garden. With dice and body odor.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
He is.
By the way, I clearly need more coffee.
When I first scanned the proposal, I read tabletop RPG as tabletop RPS.

And I'd distinguish a cooking thread because cooking matters seem to be comfortably discussed in the general interest threads.
Games have a lot more tie in with a board that sprung up around television discussions, because I see it as other media like movies, books/graphic novels, and music. I don't really see cooking as a media. Of course I may be doing it wrong.

A space within city limits would be talking about it in an existing thread, like Natter.

Okay, so the city analogy breaks down.
You get my point.

Right, and your pro is my serious con.

Right! Which is why I'm again' it!

I see your point, Plei, but I disagree with it. Gaming seems specialized enough that it gets utterly lost in the volume of other stuff in Natter or Bitches.
But more importantly, I think there's no case to be made that the people who have expressed the most interest in a gaming thread would disappear from the other threads. We would not be locking ourselves up in our own cul de sac, just trying to find a small room where we could hear each other speak about gaming above the din.

Whatevs. I've never really understood the anti-proliferation stance, but that's a fault that lies with me and not with thee. And I don't mean to imply the position has no validity, just that I don't understand it.

Aieee, my eyes. Also, depending on the table, not very safe.
I could do a "on the one hand, on the other hand" type of entry, but really, my chief criterion for a new thread is if the discussion is overwhelming and bothering the base-population of the thread it's in. Which gamertalk is not currently doing, nor, considering the lack of in-thread gaming, is it likely to do.
