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!
Aw. Well it was in reaction to the Dollhouse thread talk, not this, but point taken.
Sorry to call it out so explicitly, but it seemed to summarize the vibe that I got from a number of the reactions to the proposal.
So many people attacked and like victims and we do it every quarter or so. My problem, I get it.
Well, I think it is a problem for all of us, but I don't see how the underlying situation can really be resolved since some people want new threads and some people don't.
the majority of us can ignore the posts when they start?
"Other Media" is liberally named, but was originally a thread specifically for comics and graphic novels. I think if we compare the interest base (in terms of Buffistas and in terms of products to discuss) for graphic media to the base for games, we'd see close to parity.
As I recall from the dim recesses of my memory, it was originally a thread to discuss the Jossverse in any other media form, inclusive of games, tie-in novels, what have you.

I defer to your dim recesses. I guess there wasn't enough activity on the Buffy XBox game or RPG for anyone to post there about games, and I for one wouldn't have felt right posting in OM about non-Jossverse games.
Another alternative: The gamers could take over Sang Sacre, since it's already sort of an RPG / Virtual World / (not-massively) Multiplayer Online thing.

Yes. The media shrank and the universe expanded (in practice, not by rule, just to be very clear about that point.)

I don't like that idea, since I'm more interested in the gaming thread to talk about non-RPG video games.

I think it is presumptive to assume majority.
I defer to your dim recesses.No time to chime in on the main issue, but I really t heart this and want to tag it. May I?
ok.
Especially when there's a risk of being spoiled (in the case of games, you can be spoiled for computer games...at least you could back when they had stories), I don't like taking that risk.
Would this become a problem in a general games thread?
