See, wouldn't you rather this stuff lived in a thread where it wouldn't bother nice, innocent folks?
No, I'd rather this stuff was taking place in a thread that isn't traditionally so heated, and is supposed to be a nattering-free zone. ::grins::
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

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!

Um, oops. I deleted my post and made you look crazy. Sorry about that.
For posterity:
Yeah, I know you guys are just having fun, but it's reading to me a bit like passive aggressive snark (I make no claim to know if that's what it is or not), which isn't helping the tone in here. Love you, and all. Just saying.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
If I were the two of you, I would just take it to Bitches. It is a place where conversing occurs.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It is a place where conversing occurs.
Simply put. For my part I wasn't suggesting a repurposing of a thread for a gaming thread--that's a test game thread. I was suggesting explicitly starting gaming conversations when you're "around" other gamers, and see if that can work under various volume/posting style boundaries. If it cannot be, then the vote to me is a different one.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
I don't think P-C was advocating dropping the idea of a gaming thread and just talking in Bitches all the time. I think he was saying "Hey, MM, ND...take your particular conversation that you are having right this second and move it OUT of Lightbulbs for the nonce. I suggest Bitches at this particular moment in time."
I may be wrong.

That is indeed what I was saying.
But I also think it would not be a bad idea, now that the ball is rolling, to attempt to start gaming conversation where and when it suits your fancy and see what happens. As an experiment.
