jp - You are, as usual, not really making much of an attempt to discern what point is actually being driven toward and going in a different direction as it suites you. I'd like a debate to not fizzle out and die some time because you've decided it's time to be mister contrary. Stop it...

Because Myspace has become the ghetto of the internet...? Also, I'd like to reiterate... on top of the fact that Facebook hasn't done a good enough job informing people of the change... the change has been made automatically and people have to seek out the not quite obvious method to opt out of...

This has nothing to do with advertisements; this has to do with them taking personal info and sending it directly to third party websites. Facebook makes plenty money without having to do that. Facebook can start charging a fee for all I care. I'll just stop using it... just as I will stop using...

The problem is that Facebook recently has gone in the direction of automatically sending all of your info to third parties and you have to opt out of it and it is not very obvious how to do it. Granted, this isn't anything to do with advertisements such as yours, but the fact remains that Tom...

I pre-reg'd today as PC so that's one more. I'm sure people are just dragging their feet.

Well, yes. Doesn't have to be a tattoo. Then again, just as a fake beard is obviously a fake beard, a fake tattoo is obviously a fake tattoo. Just as I was told if I played a hobling as an NPC last event at HQ I'd have to wear fake sideburns despite having real ones a Gypsy could likewise be...

By that same arguement there shouldn't be a race based on a real life culture. Problem with the arguement is there are plenty of instances of gypsy in fantasy settings that are likewise diverse. I disagree with that being the root of the problem. The real root of the problem is that there...

It's not funny if I have to E X P L A I N it. I know what STF University is... and I could have chosen to take offense. :roll: But, whatever. I'm leaving it alone now.

I'm not sure exactly what you're implying here... but I guess I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that was a friendly jest. Lawl. :P

Yeah, but which Gypsies? Which dialect? There's Romani, Dom, Lom, Kowli, Pikey, Romanichal, Yeniche, Reisende, Banjara... etc. Each of these being either distinct groups referred to as gypsy or sub-groups of others mentioned. If there were an official way to do the accent then would gypsy curses...

I think in the context of this discussion it'd make sense to say it's not an accent when you speak that way normally. No one objected to the idea that people shouldn't be forced to not talk like themselves.

But... Australia and America are part of the same world. These statements seem at odds with each other. I like that too... and from a strictly in-game standpoint there is precident for much larger scale things happening to a remote group of a race. I think I was just reading how Stone Elves...

Sure they could, but the fact of being able to do something legally doesn't really affect how good an idea it is -- not one way or another. It's perfectly legal to make bad decisions that make people not want to come back. Course, people might get annoyed at you for driving people off by forcing...

It seems a fairly straight forward difference truthfully. Bless from a purify is a definite change from what someone might be used to, but it doesn't cause a character to have to significantly alter their roleplay and game experience in the same way that forcing people into positions where they...

If it makes you feel better I have only really been replying because it's something to do when I have slow work days; I don't actually think there's a game ruining problem here. Discussion ultimately is never a bad thing in my opinion either though. :) Also, I agree that spirit of the rules is...

Re: Pre-registration for the May event! Human plot involves furry necros logically trading gold for blood stones while quoting v for vendetta angrily in secret?

Thanks! Will do.

I've already emailed the character plot peoples, but from the looks of the threads they're a bit flooded right now so I'll ask here. I will be debuting my first PC in Deadlands and I'm trying to get a feel for what race packets are available for Stone Elves in terms of where they're typically...

Seems kind of silly to expect to know what race someone is in a dark room if you don't have low-light vision and aren't touching them and haven't met them before. That said, if there is a rule saying other people can't talk like a gypsy or barbarian then there is a serious problem here, I agree...

That's my point. They're races that are different due to culture and dress and certain rules that you can't see just by looking at them. I was only really saying that it seems evident, to me at least, that culture is an important trait of a race to counter someone else seeming to say it wasn't...
