Is there actually concern that any of these people are going to isolate ourselves into a gaming thread and never appear anywhere else?

'Get It Done'
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!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Sean, what I realized after writing my post is that that is not exactly what the argument is.
It's not just that they suck potential conversations out of threads, it's that they seem to, and again, this is just my position/opinion encourage by their very nature small, insular groups who talk amongst themselves wherever they are.
That's what Plei is afraid of. Not that we don't appear anywhere else, but that we don't talk to anyone else, thus making our appearances kind of beside the point, as far as the community is concerned.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
PC, doesn't that already happen?

Of course. I think that happens in real life too, when you're in a big large group. You talk to the people you know.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Have you expressed this sentiment before, and I just missed it?
Well, I'm not running around trying to harsh everyone's mellow about it. But it's a pretty consistent loss that I feel, and I'm still mad about how the whole thing went down.
That still counts as not revisiting, right? I just want to make sure that silence isn't taken as assent.

I talk to the people who mention penguins. I have simple needs. And four penguin-themed board games. WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE PENGUINS?!? Um. Other than me.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
That still counts as not revisiting, right? I just want to make sure that silence isn't taken as assent.By me, yeah, if that's what you meant. I only meant that I don't want to spend this discussion period on rehashing the SPN discussion, because I'd rather focus on the proposed new thread or non-thread -- but apologies to anyone who thought I was trying to shut anything down.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Absolutely. Or, what amych said.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
And what Juliana said. mainly I don't see the point of going there in this discussion.

That's a good thing. I am all for this.

Maybe we should revisit this topic, elsewhere, and possibly at some other time. Maybe in Boxed Set?
