Returning oldfag here. Is /tg/ still mad about 4e and Matt Ward, and are ca/tg/irls and cheesecake still all the rage? What happened to 1d4chan? What new systems are good, and what suck?
PS: Why are there so many generals, so many /x/-tier lunatics, and so little getting shit done? What happened to this place?
>>98386745Years of neglect, lax moderation, content poaching (there was a faggot called Neckbeardia who put Nightshift on Kickstarter and made 20k pounds from it), schizos ritualposting and 4chan's general entropy. MTG and DND became so popular that it doubled the board's population and drove out a lot of the oldfags. 2016 was also election year and the board never recovered from that either.You're better off going elsewhere, because the old magic is long gone. I don't know how to bring it back either.
>>98386734>4e a little bit, but people are more angry at Primaris space marines, cadia exploding, and GW going scorched earth on fanmade content but even that has faded with time>Matt Wardhe actually had a full on redemption arc after becoming a buddhist monk for a bit, then returning to write for the vermintide viceo games which people love, people still hate the ultramarines and grey knights tho>ca/tg/irls and cheesecaketerms have all been but abandoned but people still love sexy woman>What happened to 1d4chan?website hosting thing died, but they got it back up as 1d6chan now, I *think* there were some things that were lost maybe but everything that I can remeber is still findable on there>What new systems are goodeverything I likeI am still absurdly fond for the FFG 40k stuff, quite like fabula ultima despite the creators being ultra fags, there's some different homebrews I'd like to play but no one will ever ever play with me>what suck?everything you like>>98386745mods killed everything that they considered "too off topic", with a quick glance at the stickies you'll see quests got moved to it's own board which happened during that era, those mods are as far as I'm aware gone now that the board is slower then ever but despite the freedom the damage has been done, the anons are traumatized... occassionally stuff still gets done but just rarely
>4eNobody cares>Matt WardThere's worse authors nowadays>ca/tg/irlsEveryone's a furry now>CheesecakeThere's a lewd rpg general, that's like the cheesecake thread>1d4chanKill, use 1d6chan and ignore 2d4chan>What's goodNothing D&D 5.5e is allegedly slightly better than 5e, there's a lot of fanmase supplements that can scratch any itch, pathfinder 2e is D&D 4.75e, OSR is growing more popular, 40k 11e just released and is already better than 10e, which was just kinda mid, a ton of little skirmish games exist and have printable models>What sucksEverything mtg is drowning in UB slop, GW is shutting down fan models & content, D&D still exists>More generalsTribalism over time led to generals, plus the /qst/ split really dropped visits>MadnessWelcome to post-2016 4chan>No shit donePeople cooperating to make stuff has gone down because most of the real creatives have dipped to the ether and what's left gets flooded by nogames nofun nolife chuds>Wuh hapunTime and tide wear away the greatest of mountains
>>98386806>>98386812>>98386820Thanks anons. It's kind of heartbreaking to see the state of things, but at least there's still enough soul here to give me honest answers.
>>98386734Faggot>>98386745GigafaggotPost in your designating shitting thread 40kuck jeets
>>98386823There's always hope, as long as you can find the gold in the mud
>>98386734Gamer gate destroyed the internet
>>98386734What others have said, but also ""people"" who're going out of their way to make the board and in general the website worse, because their lives are just that miserable; and/or people trying to shit-disturb to cause reactive posts which literally increases board activity, presumably done by staff themselves, for the sake of ad revenue or some similar bullshit (see: the retard (You)ing you to call you a faggot Indian)2016, Gamergate, idpol, the culture war, and social media in general have all done irreparable damage to the Internet, and frankly to western social life as a whole. We prolapsed Pandora's shitbox and couldn't even find Hope in there. It's hard to imagine any of this getting better without the technology itself disappearing, and that'll only occur in the face of so many other problems that we will pine even for these dim days again
On a positive note, Ribbon is still cute.
The board is largely just oldfags pinning for the days of yore, not realizing they are surrounded by like minded people also in a depression stupor for no real reason at all.
>>98386914Cultist chan is also still cute and recieved a massive surge in popularity becasue a /co/ drawfag got really into 40k and started drawing her alot
>>98386823>>98386933We dwell in the ruins of our own homes, crafting nostalgia and hope in the ashes.
>>98386839>>98386873This., Gamergate was the test run for The Machine To Make People Stupid™. It was very successful at turning people into screeching retards divided into opposing camps, gobbling up clickbait about how those other guys over there are screeching retards!!!ZOMG! It was also HUGELY profitable, so that's basically become 80% of the internet now: make up an issue, split people into opposing camps over it, keep them engaged and emotional and clicking on shit.
When's the last time /tg/ got something done? I wanna get shit done, make systems and collaborate, but I don't know if the board as a whole is really willing to do big projects anymore, are there any likeminded people left?
>>98386984I'm interested, but I mostly play 3.5 and OSR shit. You?
>>98386984The only thing I've ever wanted to do with my life was make cool stuff with other people.
>>98386988I'm mostly into modelmaking and miniatures tbdesu. I only got into ttrpgs after 5e and I can't convince anyone local to play literally anything else.
>>98386734>ca/tg/irlsFaggot detected
>>98387023Ca/tg/irls are a time-honoured institution
>>98386914Work on your art
>>98386734Just leave, man. Better you remember this place as it was, not as it is.
>>98386984There is that Agartha wargame but that's a few years old by this point.Really the issue is that a combo of the prosperity circle tightening and everyone falling into a monetization first mentality for any creative endeavors has for the most part killed that part of online culture.
>>98387071>prosperity circle tighteningI'm not familiar with this concept, can you please enlighten me?
>>98387077Its shorthand for the idea that wages not rising with inflation and the general increase in cost of living means that less people are able to afford to live a comfortable middle class life as less work can get them there. So the circle shrinking represents the shrinking of lifestyles and people that exist in that middle class within the greater circle of the general population.
>>98386734>1d4chanDied.>Cheesecake4chan has been taken over by culture war tourists. They're all puritans who are scared of boobs because they're raging homosexuals, so that's largely fallen out of favor sadly.>Ca/tg/irlsSee above, gameless tourists call anime "Tranime" because they're obsessed with their retarded culture war bullshit, couple that with the surge in human male fighter NPCs and you have a hostile environment for them.>4e>Matt WardDamn you've been gone a long time huh? /tg/ hates 5e/2024 D&D now because it's the hot new thing that's popular, so the contrarian subhumans hate it because it's popular, or for made up reasons because they can't read. If anything there's been a surge in 4e apologists.Basically, you should run and never look back. 4chan and /tg/ are a husk infested with tourists who care more about the culture war their pedophile masters have them fighting against other people duped by those pedos than the content of any board, especially /tg/ where 99.9999% of the posters do not play games and most of those people have never played a traditional game and are only here to whine because they're retards incapable of making their own games with content they like, so they're slaves to corpos.
>>98386984Before 2016. We now have a monthly homebrew/game dev thread, but the board is mostly whining about shit instead of getting shit done now.Doesn't mean nobody does things. I have plenty of my own TTRPGs, sadly I'm currently hamstrung because my friends are getting proper annoyed at me tweaking one that's going to be run soon (By me and a friend mine for two different groups) and I keep procrastinating the overhaul of my fallout ttrpg (so many weapon statblocks to account for basically everything from 1, 2, 3, New Vegas, 4, and 76) so that's not getting done.
>>98386806>You're better off going elsewhereAs shit as this place is, it still beats the competition
>>98386734>implies there are things /tg/ is not mad about
>>98386806>Implying that there are any other places to go to.
>>98387283Yeah, Reddit, Instagram and Tiktok don't do shit collaboratively. Tumblr at least has a creative drive, but they've always felt like an annoying younger sister compared to here. They feel closely related, but I'd rather not hang out with them.
>>98386734I think the main new lore drop is fishfag. An angry dickhead on the OSR general who tells the most boring story about how his party engaged with an autistically detailed fishing economy simulator. He is obsessed with ACKS and tried trolling some other generals only to be told to fuck off and getting his posts deleted.
>>98387412Also /wip/'s Craftsperg, or Puckee.
>>98387412>fishfag trying to push his name off on other people againlol you are such a colossal faggot
>>98387420>PuckeeI try to block him out. Does he have one of his retarded commissions in the catalog right now?
>>98387436No. I hope to have devised a strategy that will keep him out for good
>>98387261>>98387036>>98386820>>98386812>>98386806and go where?
>>98387534That's the questionEverywhere else you have to walk on eggshells all the time
>>98386806>NeckbeardiaGod's this irish cunt. The thieving paddy stole so much content from here and near single handedly destroyed the entire creative culture on this board, and worse things worse he was protected by a potato janny.>>98386734Good gods, you have been gone a long time anon. Those memes are pre 2016 by my reckoning. Anons still love hot women and kemomimi but the recent influx of redditors and neopuritans has led to a retarded push against anime and shrieks of "go to /a/" and "tranime". Just post more anime girls in response though. There's also an anti-loli push, just ignore it.4e is 1.5 generations old now, and Matt Ward is long gone from the picture.There's a ton of cool new systems from fantasy r&f to sci-fi big battle and skirmish games galore, plus new rpg's dropping, mostly JTTRPG's being translated and made available to the West.Sadly, we have retards like puckee spamming slop 'art' on the board and being protected by the mods, and leftypoltards trying to openly take over the board. And lancerfags trying to push their awful communist idpol dnd knockoff. We havnt been spared the culture war but hopefully we can weather it out.
>>98387586>Those memes are pre 2016 by my reckoningMore like pre 2009
>>98387595It's been that long?....
>>98387534Unironically, outside. For some UNFATHOMABLE reason these issues are virtually non-existent in local stores and game spaces.
>>98387625LGS are dice roll these days; some are good, but most are terrible
>>98387624The Nintendo 64 is as old to us now as the last Neanderthals were to the Roman Empire.
>>98387625I haven't had a local store since what, 2013?
>>98387633I've probably been lucky and the online bullshit hasn't seeped out into my area of the UK (not outing myself but I've lived in 3 cities in the same area over 20 years). I've experienced one instance of a guy at FNM parroting some online culture war shit about the latest set and that was remedied by letting the remark hang awkwardly.
>>98387586>he was protected by a potato jannyWhat could a janny have done, for or against, to someone scraping archives?
>>98387586>and near single handedly destroyed the entire creative culture on this boardHe's the guy that stole a bunch of shit for his tts youtube channel, right? What led to that destroying the creative culture?
This guy is the poison that should have been removed from this board for its own health. No idea what else he posts, but it's guaranteed to make the board worse. >>98387029
>>98387534be the change you want to see /here/, share your homebrew, your stories, your guys, and keep an eye out for threads that can be good and bump them, even now there is hope for manplease forgive me for saying this but, the 40krpg general IMO is honestly kinda decent because people still homebrew somewhat consistently, and also sometimes it's just gone for a few days at a time so I think that might actually be something that helps it slightly avoid the enshittification that generals often have
>>98388065Being able to let a general be dead for a couple of days is a sign of maturity.Fuck INSTANTLY having to create the next one when there is absolutely nothing new to talk about.
>>98387625lmao, yeah you're right.Unfortunately my closest game store is an hour's drive away in the big city (which I hate, I genuinely feel like the ground itself is sucking on my life force)I do have a bunch of friends who like ttrpg stuff, and we meet up semiregularly or play online, but half of us have no desire to be DMs, and the ones that can deal with it can't stick with a campaign for more than a few months. My groups' most regular DM is the biggest flake himself.we're also limited on space, we're all basement dwellers who havent moved out of mama's house, so we don't want to disturb our families.I have been thinking about approaching my local library about reserving one of their private rooms to play, (which is how I got introduced to the hobby actually, a librarian asked me if I'd be interested in playing D&D 4e and I liked fantasy stuff at the time. To this day I will staunchly defend 4e even though I haven't touched it for over a decade. The 4e monster manuals had the best artwork, fite me.)
>>98388077agreed also another thread of vague decency, the draw threads are still draw threads, I wouldn't say the quality has quite gotten better or worse, maybe a little bit slower, but people still draw a whole lot of cool stuff in there, Like I just popped in there and saw this pretty quickly
>>98388065yeah, i try to engage in good faith, but I'm a zoomer so all my experience is new stuff. All the youth know nowadays is 5e, Critical Role, drink gamersupps and be gay...I don't really have many good stories to share, because I've only ever played with fairly normal (to me) people and we never have campaigns go long enough for any actual fucking interesting shenanigans to occur.I guess the most interesting story i have is that one day my zoomer adhd friend tries to run a Witcher TTRPG campaign for us. It never went past session one lol, but I really liked the character creation system. I specifically remember mentioning to the group that I liked that it made it hard to make a "bad character" - the system would make you roll for family members, important events, that kind of thing."No brooding edgelords, or self inserts here!" i joked.I ended up rolling a handsome young man who was the son of a merchant company turned criminal enterprise run by his mother and was educated by a witch as child. He was saved on three separate occasions by a female elven warrior, a female mage, and a female bard. My friends bullied me for creating some isekai'd anime protagonist for the rest of that week. I actually ended up liking the character concept though, and keep reusing him for the many campaigns my friend starts and drops. If you ever see a character named "Alan of Cidaris" in some media enterprise, you'll know i'm out there.
>>98387886It created a chilling effect because people felt (rightfully) angry that something they made for free for /tg/ was getting stolen by a fat leech to profit off. So people just stopped posting stuff publicly or anonymously.
>>98386734Everything you listed went out of style over a decade ago. I'm sorry, grandpa.
I like /tg/, even as it is now :)
>>98386820>the /qst/ split really dropped visitsthis, it's such a microcosm of the whole site>a million /v/ off-shoots because people bitch about being on-topic>now it's all the same "now that the dust has settled thoughbeit" template shitposts, but at least it's "on-topic"pedantic "NO THAT'S OFF-TOPICCCCC" retards will continue to carve the website up into subreddit-tier niche boards with no posters until the entire website is spread to thin to have a community.4chan is always at its best when it's off-topic, the attempt to moderate this place into what the mods want this place to be has done nothing but kill a community.
>>98388413>this, it's such a microcosm of the whole siteThe exodus followed by the flood of tourists killed quests before they ever got their own board. The people who kinda like quests left and the new people who came in didn't know shit about quests and were largely only here for election year shitflinging and subversion.Guys like Monday, who ran multiple highly elaborate and art-heavy quest-like skirmish games on /tg/ left in 2017. So anyone who genuinely liked quests or wanted to run them on /tg/ has been gone for a decade or more.
>>98386745We've still got some people who get shit done. Someone over in /osrg/ posted a fantastic campaign write up a few months.Though sadly some retard >>98387412 as can be seen here, was and shockingly still is mad about it.Pic very much related.
>>98388547Man, even your attempt to create mythology about fishfag is terminally boring. You really suck at writing.
>>98388575https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zTiWTU4ltU
>>98387412Its insane you're this dedicated to being a shit in everyone's cut fish.
>>98387412All I get out of the fishfag arguing is that anyone who mentions ACKS or Fishfag is Fishfag, and this is either the most boring, unfunny meme, or the guy who got his asshole gaped by /tg/ for being a boring faggot is still so mad about it that he's trying to spin the moniker back on the people who mocked him in the first place, seemingly in hopes of getting people to stop saying it entire or stop talking about it in fear of having to engage with the infamous Fishfag who calls everyone else Fishfag.It's fucking annoying and something that could probably be solved in 5 minutes if the mods gave a shit about this board or this site.
>>98388763>All I get out of the arguing is [ATTEMPT TO REWRITE HISTORY HERE]You are aware that people can go look back in the archives and see the first time you were called it right?https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/95551347/#95571998It's literally there.>ACKS bad, ACKS ate a baby>Holy shit are you the Fishfag?Not>ACKS good, ACKS let me do fishin'>Holy shit are you the Fishfag?I know you've convinced yourself that lying your way out of being mocked for being a subhumanoid is something that may just be possible if you double down hard enough, but we're currently reaching a googleplex of you doubling down and it's not worked even once.
>>98388763>or the guy who got his asshole gaped by /tg/ for being a boring faggot is still so mad about it that he's trying to spin the moniker back on the people who mocked him in the first placeAs far as I can tell it's this one. The whole thing seems like a total clusterfuck due to the constant double-reverse false-flag bullshit, but fortunately I don't have OSR autism so I don't have to deal with it.>if the mods gave a shitSure would be nice, wouldn't it.
>>98386745Sometimes content posters get banned as spam
>>98388970If you're going to samefag to back your own claims at least you could go back to doing that vaguely amusing pseudo-racist hillbilly routine.
>>98388866See this shit? Anyone who says anything about Fishfag is actually fishfah, and the story is never consistent.
>>98386745Not gonna work for you for free, faggot.
>>98386839Gamergate was right about everything btw
>>98386984Is that why you're sitting here bitching instead of making anything? you're so transparent lol
>>98387444lol nice larp
>>98387534what do you mean, where? are you going to die without the internet or something? jesus
>>98387866Anyone calling neckbeardia out got b&. Anyone insulting him got b&. Any pishback resulted in being b&.>>98387886>What led to that destroying the creative culture?Pretty much what >>98388274 said. Anons got rightfully angry that stuff they put hard work into was being taken and sold by someone who contributed nothing. Greentext and story threads stopped because they fed his youtube channel and brought waves of normies and p'redditors into the board and nobody wanted to support the thieving Irish potato (yes I am aware I just said "Irish" three times).He did eventually leave but at the cost of the boards creative soul.
>>98388413No.
>>98386820>the /qst/ split really dropped visitsAbsolute glue huffing mania
>>98388703See what I mean? Everything you post just confirms it LOL
>>98389120Kinda blows my mind that we're seeing history repeat itself again>Look, Journos have private communication channels where they browbeat each other into creating a unified narrative and threaten the careers and professional opportunities of their peers if they question or go against the narrative being forced>wow that's fucked up. Surely it was only game journos doing that and no other industry would ever have its journos and critics march in lockstep to protect an ideologically charge product and create a hyperbolic narrative about evil chuds trying to destroy something that is receiving suspiciously consistent perfect scores...
>>98389096>Uhh, Fishfag is anyone who mentions Fishfag>That's bullshit, here's the first time anyone said it and the context it was said in>See, this is proof that Fishfag is anyone who mentions Fishfag
>>98388866https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/94415189/#94427591You samefag a whole lot when you're upset.
>>98389165indeed, you are huffing glue if you disagree.
>>98389179The fact that you think it's a single person confused about your Fishfag routine speaks volumes to the kind of uncontrollable mental illness and autism you have.
>>98387071>everyone falling into a monetization first mentality for any creative endeavorsTbh this was forced on /tg/ by ***events*** like the aforementioned Neckbeardia simply stealing our shit, monetizing it and claiming copyright on it. Can't have SHIT on the Detroiternet.
>>98389179You're still going for a "I think I can call everyone fishfag and not look retarded" shitposting style and that really only heightens how retarded you look.
>>98387412Lmao nice try, Fishfag.Also, kill yourself.OP, the above poster is a schizo called Fishfag who's been insistently shitting up /osrg/ for a long time and who's constantly trying to muddy the waters and push his nickname off on the people who gave it to him, like if Virtualoptim were constantly calling other people Virt.
>>98389185>Someone does a storytime to try and explain to you why they like a system>You say the story is boringThis is what you're trying to claim victory over? They told a story to try and explain to you the mechanics and why they found it a useful system?I don't understand what you think posting this is some kind of epic win on your part.Also>Almost 2 years agoJesus Christ, get a job or something.
>>98389238>YouThere you go again. And way to out yourself.
>>98389238>Jesus Christ, get a job or something.Don't think Fishfag can hold down a job, Anon. The autism and narcissism has to make him impossible to deal with. Given how much he posts he's almost certainly on benefits, burdening the state.
>>98389256If it's good enough for you to say I'm the one that told the story without any evidence, it's good enough for me to say you're the one seething about it with the same amount.
>>98389185>You samefag a whole lot when you're upset.That's something I don't really get.Guy told a borderline-objectively boring story, had it called boring, and immediately started samefagging like he thinks his actions aren't immediately a flag for insanity, while trying to pretend more people than just himself cares about his boring story or about people calling it boring. And he's been continuing that for months now. Even in this thread he's been samefagging like he thinks it works.
>>98389238>They told a story to try and explain to you the mechanicsYou told a boring story and had it called boring, and flipped out.It's kind of understandable though.If the criticism against the game is that it's boring and tedious, and you tell a boring and tedious story about the game, you basically fucked yourself.
Man he really is just planning to jerk himself off while pretending to be two people and accusing anyone who questions his version of events of doing exactly what he's up to, isn't he?Guess I'll go see if I can find the campaign write up someone mentioned.
>>98386734What fucking decade are you from, nigger?
>>98386734Things that were bad previously were largely replaced by new versions of those things that have in many ways panned out worse.4e being designed like a MMORPG and Matt ward being a bad writer seem like a fucking joke.
>>98386745All the warhammer games need their own generals becsuse they are having unironic console wars with each other, like literal teenagers.
>>98387412>He is obsessed with ACKS and tried trolling some other generals only to be told to fuck off and getting his posts deleted.Here's him popping up in the /3eg/ of all places during the ACKS kickstarter and trying to shill ACKS there, only to get bullied by the guys in the /3eg/ so hard that he ended up shitting himself to death.https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/96434718/#96583816The best part is that since people keep reposting his lolcow speech and embarrassing him with it, he's tried to claim that it's actually a falseflag post, despite him having posted in a similar self-important fashion right in that same thread and STILL continues to post like that.
>>98389328Like 2010 judging from the post
>>98389397That's the only good thing to come out of this dumb forced drama.
>>98389397Being called "boring" is seemingly so aggravating to him that he has to spend every waking moment in as many threads as possible trying to pretend that his obsession with micromanagement and logistics is totally based and badass.
https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/search/image/HRSjDEn-zGHAsmd93yt7MA/Bruh.You do realize how obvious it is that it's just you reposting the screencap every time?Every time you repost it, it's with a long, gloating dick-beater about how the other person is so mad.What's wrong with you? Are you actually medically unwell or something?
>>98389312He's certifiably insane if the last few posts haven't been clear enough.
>>98389290>>98389300>muh boringThis was never about whether the story was boring or riveting, Fishfag, as you've been reminded dozens of times. You claimed it was impossible for the rules to be useful, a guy posted an example of the rules being useful to him, and you had a melty which apparently lasts to this day.
>>98389495You are boring.
>>98389397>during the ACKS kickstarterLmao way to out yourself as just making shit up, retard. That Kickstarter was in 2023, your false flag screencap is from 2025.>>98389452>Are you actually medically unwell or something?Yes, he pretty demonstrably is.
>>98389495Ahh, so he's just pretending to be retarded to try and avoids being wrong?Glad to hear it.
>>98389507I genuinely don't care, as I'm neither the ACKStec nor invested in not being boring to paranoid schizophrenics.
>Returning oldfag here. Is /tg/ still mad aboutJudging by how many posts in this thread are about this fishfag retard in some manner, seems the answer is yes. /tg/ is still mad in general
>>98389495>a guy posted an example of the rules being useful to him, Useful for making the game boring. You've been trying to defend your weird tantrum while projecting it on anyone who disagrees with you, and it all just ends up a back and forth where you keep attacking everyone while claiming they're all doing what you're doing. No one cares about your boring story, there's no point in trying to explain your purpose in telling it because no one cared then and no one cares now. The only thing anyone cares about at this point is that you won't stop shitposting while calling everyone fishfag like you think that doesn't make you ironically immediately identifiable.
>>98389534https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTLOlf5My6w
>>98389536>t. Fishfag
>>98389519>Lmao way to out yourself as just making shit up, retard. That Kickstarter was in 2023, your false flag screencap is from 2025.Let's see now.https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/96554041/#96557502Here's the ACKS shill being told to fuck off in the /5eg/ where he was putting on a samefagging puppet show with himself about ACKS, right before he had all his posts deleted and then he showed up trying to shill ACKS in the /3.5g/.>Sep 2025Ah, so this was all happening during the last ACKS kickstarter, the Before All Others one that ended in Oct 2025, which explains why he was going into unrelated threads trying to shill his game while complaining about his fishfag entirely unprompted. The 2023 kickstarter was for ACKS 2, which is when they shilled on Reddit so hard that they got the game banned from several subreddits for doing so. Some habits die hard.
>>98389536Out of sheer bile curiosity, is there anything that anyone could say to prove to you that you're not Captain Ahab sighting the white whale and instead just some retard in a paddle boat spotting his reflection in the water?Is there anything that anyone on this entire board could do to make you believe you're wrong, or does anyone who calls you bugfuck insane immediately transform into the great deceiver before your eyes?
>>98389598Are you 100% incapable of posting not like a fag?
>>98386745>What happened to this place?As you can see in this thread, the internet became infested with schizos, and people are too retarded to stop taking the bait.
>>98389596>n-n-n-no, I, I mean he, was shilling for a supplement! Which nobody on /5eg/ could possibly want since you need the core rules!LMAO, this is your proof? They're right, you're an insane retard.
>>98389619>the internet became infested with schizos, and people are too retarded to stop taking the bait.The jannies should do their job and remove schizos.
>>98389613>Can't answer the question.So it's a matter of religion then for you. Very interesting.
>>98389632Yeah, Fishfag's absolutely obsessed. You'll notice that thing with the fishing story happened YEARS ago and he's still raging about it so recognizably (boring! boring boring boring!) that anons can reliably apply his nickname, which makes him rage even harder. Most anons figure he's genuinely severely mentally ill.
>>98389524Of course you aren't. You just endlessly post insane screeds about the topic and argue with everyone on /tg/ as if there were only one other person on the whole board :^)
>>98386967>It was also HUGELY profitableMy god, THEY COMMERCIALIZED SCUB!!!>>98389630>The jannies should do their job and remove schizos.In this modern age of Dynamic IP Address Shuffling?No chance.Hell, I think they might be abusing automatic "Temporary IP Blocks" to throttle posting!
>>98389626>LMAO, this is your proof?Proof that it happened during the last ACKS kickstarter?The guy literally began showing up in unrelated threads to try talking about his system the day after the Kickstarter began.
>>98389626There's a strong suspicion among those of us burdened with an awareness of him that the post he screencapped is a false flag.Because:a: Any retard can use a filename and claim to be the same person, pic relatedb: He always, always reposts it like it's some sort of gotcha, no other screencaps, just that onec: The person he's trying to frame up (AzteCKS DM) doesn't talk like thatd: He gets incredibly, seethingly defensive any time anyone points out any of the above and starts raving about how clearly people asking questions is proof that they're AzteCKS and secretly ashamed of their posts, followed by proclaiming he's adding their post going 'What the fuck are you on about, you babbling retard?' to his cringe compilation folder, which only makes him only ever posting that one screencap all the more questionable.
>>98388138>All the youth know nowadays is 5e, Critical Role, drink gamersupps and be gay... What a fall from grace. My generation at least knows how to be bisexual, eat hot chip, and lie>>98386734As you can see, we suffer from users like >>98386829. That kind of makes it difficult to have productive conversations. >>98389177>something that is receiving suspiciously consistent perfect scores...I legitimately have no idea what you're talking about. You might even be right, but you sound insane.
>>98389661Yeah obviously they're going to ban evade, I'm talking about an ongoing presence in problem threads, rapidly deleting schizo posts so that the schizos realize that their insanity is futile. Bans are also useful in the short term because if a skiz gets hit with a three-day he'll at least have to take time out to evade it whcih will get annoying after awhile, getting banned with every post.
>>98389596>Someone in that thread asks if you're lurking there>Someone else jokes about how mentioning ACKS will summon you to shit and seethe all over the place>You proceed to do exactly that without a shred of irony or self-awarenessBoy you sure showed them that you're exactly who they said you are.
>>98389676Odyssey and Mixtape are the most recent examples. It happens multiple times per year for all kinds of media and somehow the idea that there is some intentional agenda to overhype some specific piece of corpo media is consistently treated like an insane conspiracy theory, even though it's almost always proven true.
>>98389673AYRT and yeah I read the earlier screencap (as in posted earlier ITT) by the actual Aztec Anon, he seemed normal and chill. This schizo on the other hand has the same keyboard-hammering rage diction, seems plausible that it would be him faking it.
This guy samefagging is getting out of hand.Is he always like this?
>>98389673Anyone with an autistic fixation on the exact dates, posts, and details of a situation, along with a folder full of screencaps to go with his constant arguing that everyone else is wrong about what happened and what /tg/ believes about some specific schizo is highly likely to be that schizo. I don't post in OSR generals because I don't care about them, but I know to hide ACKS threads because I've seen this same Fishfag shtick play out in all kinds of random threads, and you can't even ask or comment about it without threads going to shit exactly like this one is, because the guy with all the "facts" and screencaps shows up.
>>98389686>Bans are also useful in the short term because if a skiz gets hit with a three-day he'll at least have to take time out to evade it whcih will get annoying after awhile, getting banned with every post.They're not, an IP Address Shuffle takes maybe 60 seconds, at best you are buying 5 to ten minutes of peace even with annoying mandatory new Address delays.Deleting posts is much more effective censorship, since it denies (You)'s and at least gives other Anons the hint to drop the topic.And yep, they are throttling with the temp IP Range blocks...
>>98389722Thing is he doesn't even have any facts or screencaps. He's just got that one and waves it around like it means something while screaming "See, see, this is proof the CIA shit my pants while I was drunk that one time"
>>98389722The funny thing is that this is the same schizo who used to give threads about The Night Land the same treatment, just bury them in an avalanche of insane seething. He thinks he's the boss of /tg/ or something and has the right to dictate what anons should be talking about (namely, not his forbidden topics, like ACKS).
>>98389776Let us pray that his mad ravings mean they never hand him jannyhood.I imagine he applies for it with a full hard-on any time the possibility comes up.
>>98389760I've got some experience with this shit and lemme tell you: Denying a schizo their fun is far more effective than simply banning them. If they aren't getting any sort of validation, even if it's just other anons arguing with them or flinging shit at them, they will eventually give up.
>>98389715If you just filter "f*shfag" and "A*KS" it really improves things. Highly reccomend.
>>98389785It's hard to imagine that the mods wouldn't realize their mistake in the first, like, ten minutes. An hour at most.
>>98388998That's fucking horrifying
>>98389134I don't know if it works but I haven't seen him since the last time I made unpleasant AI gens of his characters
>>98389452Jesus that's some aggressive samefagging right there.
>>98390046Let's see it in the archive, I'm curious to see how unpleasant they are.
>>98390076They all just depict him as a cuck, it doesn't go deeper than that. I'd rather not post anything fuckee related if I don't have to
>>98389397>Fishfag posts that one screencap yet againHoly shit, you've been posting that for years to try to trick people into thinking that ACKStec anon is the real fishfag at this pointSeek medical assistance
>>98389661>My god, THEY COMMERCIALIZED SCUB!!!Basically, yeah. Get people engaged with emotional appeals, get them clicking on the clickbait, ad revenue goes up tremendously. Feeding people stupid, divisive narratives has become a massive business. It's the perfection (and the triumph) of yellow journalism in the tech age.
>>98389803That's pretty genius.What other filters should I add?
>>98389803>Please Saar, yu must be of blocking the ACKS and no longer doing the needful of speaking of it>Only by making this system de facto banned will I stop being of the shitting up the board Saar
>surge in board usage, then decline as people left to Discord for easier circlejerking>tabletop companies still bungling things in new and astounding waysOn the bright side, lots of eastern artists getting into 40K and pissing off every Redditor under the sun.
>>98389673It does feel like a different guy, but then again, I could see that anon legit flipping his shit too. The funny thing to me is the faggot who is now touting that response forever is saying "look, I eventually got him to lose his shit at me after months of endless provocation all over /tg/, this totally proves that he was the problem all along, not me!"
>>98390447>The funny thing to me is the faggot who is now touting that response forever is saying "look, I eventually got him to lose his shit at me after months of endless provocation all over /tg/, this totally proves that he was the problem all along, not me!"Never even thought about it that way>I got him to call me a faggot, after over a year of acting (Seriously check the dates) like the biggest faggot humanly possible>Clearly this means I was right.
>>98389801>Denying a schizo their fun is far more effective than simply banning them. If they aren't getting any sort of validation, even if it's just other anons arguing with them or flinging shit at them, they will eventually give up.Hell I can be one of those schizo, so I know it's more effective than stringing along temp Bans and Blocks because hiromoot won't approve of the nuclear option of a Range ban.
>>98386734not only is the magic of get shit done gone, zoomer culture is actively opposed to it to the point where they get furiously angry about anyone trying it, don't come here looking for the things that existed back then, you won't find them
>>98387412That is very obviously not what happened and I have no stock in ACKS and think it sucks.
>>98386745Degenerate mods lined up all the drawfags, lorefags, quest threads, screencap posters, and anyone that didn't have their head firmly lodge up their asshole and crucified them, this place is now a schizophrenic plagued tourist ridden shitpost factory that doubles as an open air shill-market for swapmeet knockoff tier rules lite pdf based vaporware ttrpgs the general threads have reduced this place to reddit's hepatitis infested insane asylum welcome home son, we've got a lot of work to do
>>98391328>the general threads have reduced this place to reddit's hepatitis infested insane asylumWhy do /v/ tards think /tg/ was ruined by generals?It's not like having a designated D&D thread isn't going to happen here.
>>98391371This. People retreating into generals is a symptom, the cause of it is the front page being filled with garbage.
>>98390348>lots of eastern artists getting into 40K and pissing off every Redditor under the sun.the amount of koreans and chinese+the occassional jap in the 40k online space is honestly a massive breath of fresh air as they're alot less tainted by americanisms
>>98391371Generals made sense when the place was filled with people... more full at least. Now they serve to eliminate open discussion, potential fun posts are made in walled spaces where you have to tolerate three divas that make 80% of the posts to find. I'd like to know more about games I don't play, but I'm not gonna go through a general to see if I find someone saying something interesting, but if a new thread is clearly tied to one game people will spam them to go to their general.
>>98391493>america america america americaSo obsessed!
>>98391455>the cause of it is the front page being filled with garbageWell that isn't so much a cause, just a comorbid of garbage threads meant only for content farming and/or engagement baiting.>>98391493OGYRN SISTERS?!>>98391513>Now they serve to eliminate open discussion, potential fun posts are made in walled spaces where you have to tolerate three divas that make 80% of the posts to find.>...but if a new thread is clearly tied to one game people will spam them to go to their general.Buddy, that's not an issue with the concept of Generals, that's those "divas"/factionalist trying to police their "territory"...
>>98386734>Is /tg/ still mad about 4e and Matt WardD&D 4e? Most people still think it was a mistake but it has fans, and the lisencing sleaze about it has been eclipsed by larger and worse scumminess from wotc who called the pinkertons on someone, whored out the mtg IP and tried to legally claim ownership of 3rd party contentAs for ward he's been somewhat vindicated. Current thought seems to be his codexes had good internal balance and even if the writing was poor it was genuine and entheuseastic. These days 40k is just a vehicle to push product so nothing is balanced or genuine. >and are ca/tg/irls and cheesecake still all the rage? Catgirls are kind of dated. Cheesecake is just porn addiction now>What happened to 1d4chan? The guy stopped running it and purged articles or something>What new systems are good, and what suck?D&D6e is a mess with no identity or backwards compatability, and 5e wasnt that good to start with. The new WOD stuff got gutted for a rewrite and its ashamed of being too nerdy, but it actually runs okay. Pf2e sucks, and starfinder is somehow looking even worse.
>>98391577People don't have a problem with generals that make sense. MtG, 40k, and 5e make a lot of sense to have generals because otherwise 80% of the board would just be those games.But, a lot of stuff gets snuck under the banner of being called a general that just ends up being a closed chatroom for a few guys who are occasionally even proud of trying to gatekeep the threads, up until they look around and realize there's only two guys left.
>>98388065>you say you cannot farm because the birds eat all your grain, but just throw out even more grain, until the birds cannot eat any more, and then you can grow a cropGrain is not unlimited, and birds multiply and grow fatter. The jannies insist on protecting the birds, so the only option is to abandon the field entirely and starve the birds.
>>98391598>But, a lot of stuff gets snuck under the banner of being called a general that just ends up being a closed chatroom for a few guys who are occasionally even proud of trying to gatekeep the threadsA) Which threads are those?B) Why does that even matter?My favorite Wargame is still Brikwars despite having been forced out of pretty much every online space for it, but I've long given up actively shilling it here because there just isn't any interest.
>>98391598Bad actors hate generals because its easier to spot them in a smaller pool you have expert knowlege about. There is a consistent push by the usual suspects to blame generals for the board being dead, but we all know its dead because its shit to use and full of spam. Generals are what's left not because they're poison, but because they better resist the poison. Just look at the state of gays and lesbians on /lgbt/ where diapertranny spam drowned the board down to one or two perpetually besieged generals.
>>98391634Generals end up being pretty closed off and don't really generate discussion in the same way more open threads addressing a larger audience do. They also get routinely bumped in a way that unfairly competes with threads that have to rely on organic discussion, which in turn means people lean more on making generals rather than non-general threads, exasperating the situation further.You end up with a slow board that's unwelcoming, and that's how you end up in a situation where the only new people who are coming here anymore are equally unwelcoming and naturally unpopular.We don't have to go full "No generals allowed, every thread needs to be competing for maximum upvotes", but we've really been straying too far in the opposite direction and for a long time now.>>98391695>Bad actors hate generals because its easier to spot them in a smaller pool you have expert knowlege about.The opposite. Bad actors love small generals because they're more closed off and they have less people to deal with, and can easily be driven to become a total circlejerk. The bigger generals and the board as a whole tends to have enough people to naturally defend themselves, but these smaller generals can really become poisonous. The drawthread was really suffering for a long time because it fit right in that category of not having enough people to naturally defend itself and being a topic that would attract particularly obsessive weirdos.The board is really besieged by a lot of bad actors, and the worst part may be that they do their best to try to be seen as not being the problem while doing shit like spamming "traditional games?" in every non-general thread.
>>98391796Again, that's not an issue of the Generals but those bad actors trying to control all discussion.Brikwars threads don't die because they are buried by Generals, they die because there isn't enough genuine interest.If some circlejerking clique commandeers a thread, there isn't much you can do but start a competing thread and hopefully generate more interest.
>>98386967>gamergate was actually a psyop rather than a consumer revolt they pulled all the stops out to suppress>it's also directly responsible for canon trannies in 40K somehowHoly shit that's a new one.
>>98391577>>98391634Kill yourself ND
>>98391899Gamergate should never have even been a controversy, but it was very profitable to sell two sides fake clickbait narratives to get them enraged and engaged. You bought into one of those narratives, wherein your side were heroic and the other side was crazy, which is exactly what they sold to the other side, just with different window dressing..
>>98390298Useful information, adding a * to a word it will prompt the filter to autocomplete and filter out anything with the word minimum, ie, IMG_* (for filename) and *jeet (for comment) will filter out any filename starting with IMG_ and any comment with a -jeet variation (pajeet, gurjeet, saarjeet, etc). It will save you a lot of time. I use it mostly for /tv/ to make /hor/ palatable, but it's useful information to have.
>>98391899Why does it bother you that trans people exist? They have for thousands of years.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enaree
>>98389650You guys call literally everyone fishfag, the only surprising thing is based on some of your posts (e.g. threatening to have mods "IP check" me after calling me fishfag) you actually believe that literally everyone who notices ACKS is a shit system and you guys are an obnoxious bunch of retards who were driven off every other website, is actually the same person.
>>98387579Tell me about it.>Got banned from Kiwifarms for telling Null not to let Sam Hyde live in his head rent freeI don't care if he fucked that teenaged slut in the pooper and broke her nose against the headboard.I just don't.
>>98392129Suuuure
>>98392129Please, just drop it. Just filter that guys posts and don't feed into his drama.
>>98392161NTA, why don't you take your own advice?
>>98389397Remember the time you had a shitfit and tried to force merge the 3.5 and pf generals because you thought it made a point about /osrg/? That was amazing.
>>98392147Isn't Null also a pedo?
>>98392209Wasn't that you trying to do that, partly in order to troll the /3eg/ after they humiliated you? It doesn't really make sense for anyone to attempt to merge the 3e and Paizo threads unless they were deliberately trying to piss people off. And here you are, trying to blame it on your bogeyman, what seems to have been your "genius" plan all along.You really have a weird way of being the shittiest person on this entire board.
>>98392247NTA, but you're not fooling anybody with that NO U shit
>>98392266NTA but you're not fooling anyone with your NTA shit.
>>98392273
>>98392266Your lie really doesn't make any sense and is obvious for what it is. The Paizo general includes games like Starfinder and PF2, which means it makes no sense for anyone to try and combine it with the /3eg/ unless someone was deliberately trying to troll them. And, that person would very likely only have been you, because you hoped to try and draw a false parallel, comparing combining those two generals with people wanting to discuss the full spectrum of OSR games in the /osrg/, and saying both were the efforts of a singular person. That's a pretty blatant false analogy though, and only works in the mind of someone like you. Even you deciding to troll the /3eg/ has a clear reason behind it, because it was in that thread that you got bullied so hard that you lost it and had a meltdown so bad that you've gone from defending it to claiming it was a falseflag all the way back to trying to cope by defending that tantrum again. You and your insane grudges.
>>98392209>>98392247I don't know which of you is fishfag (the guy who hates ACKS), but whoever it was, you tried to merge us with pfg.t. 3eg regular
>>98392230He likes underage furry camboys, yes. Amd for some reason blames these urges on anime.
>>98392354That's a bad lie.
>>98386734>1d4chanThe guy running it, Root, disappeared from the Internet entirely. I threw together a team that pulled the database and rehosted it on a network called Miraheze. 1d6chan is its name now, and it's flourishing. We have more editors now than we did at the time we rehosted. There was a mirror, but it was abandoned after the spambots found it.
>>98392247>they humiliated youThis is the fake part right here, if anybody's wondering.
>>98392085They never did the BOTHSIDES shit thobeight. It was very transparently the first mass deployed attempt at shame-based marketing and consumer demographic replacement. You're not the big brain you think you are for inventing conspiracies to justify your fencesitting feigned apathy.>>98392098I dont really care one way or the other, it's just utterly crazy work to blame LE WOKISME on gamergate
>>98392354The guy who has belatedly learned to spell "bogeyman" is Fishfag. He can't stop yapping about how others have bogeymen, it's one of his stock phrases.
>>98392383Dude got bullied like a bitch in this thread.https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/96434718/#96583816And then had almost all of his posts deleted after he had that absolutely spectacular meltdown that starts with->I don't give a fuck what you think about it you little pussified bitch. You can scream about how boring it is all you want, it doesn't matter to me one little bit. If I cared about not being bored then I'm getting endless entertainment by watching you squirm in the palm of my hand like the wretched little insect you are.Guy feels so humiliated by that he's actually tried to convince people that he didn't actually write that, and now also that even if he did write it it was justified for him to sperg out like that.
>>98392420>Look ma, I posted it againWe can all see the dates
>>98392420>projection of imagined feelings onto others, againEntirely aside from the fact that you're just making it increasingly obvious that that post was you falseflagging, this behavior is ridiculous.
>>98392442Here's you hoping to cope by calling it a falseflag out of pure embarrassment. It's at least good to know you've got at least that little bit of shame left in you. But, no, seriously. that's not going to stop it being reposted every time you need to be reminded of how up your own ass you are.>You're a walking talking STD, a pygmy subhuman, a digital disease that I wish, only for the health of this board, could be wiped out with a herbicide and made to drown to death in your own shit. Your gorilla like screeching over a superior game will never end though so we've all got to put up with your endless barrage of pathetic autism and front of being totally unaffected and totally not caring about how much more raped you get with every thread you post in, because all you want is to kill the discussion of games.>I sincerely hope you catch cancer and then burn to death after suffering through it for a year. That's how much I don't give a fuck about you and your authoritarian bullshit. It's genuinely some of the cringiest shit ever written, but basically just you doing what you always do.
>>98392442Yeah, I can't follow what his attempted narrative is supposed to be here. The acks campaign guy spergs out, and this means somehow a "they" then "humiliated him" which means he supposedly comes back a year+ later and tries to merge 3eg and pfg because of how mad he is about his embarrassing sperg post that he made. That makes no sense. Human beings don't work like that.
>>98392375But you also cut a lot of old content for being "problematic"...
>>98392504What's hard to follow?You tried shilling in the /3eg/ after getting immediately deleted in the /5eg/, and instead of a warm reception had most of the thread laughing at you, especially when they learned that your whole "fishfag" thing was about you telling a story about your players fishing and that story being called boring. Cue an absolutely beautiful ragefit where you're screaming into the void imagining you're talking to your fishfag, followed by a near-total deletion of all of your posts, and it's no wonder you'd really love to pretend that it was all just a falseflag. Your posts are enough to give people second-hand embarrassment, they must be really bad for you.Thought, to be fair, your attempted troll merging of 3eg/pfg was probably only mildly influenced by that event, but considering just how petty and spiteful you are in general, I wouldn't really doubt that spergout incident weighed on your mind, considering that having your story called boring has been eating away at you for months. You probably only decided to pick on the 3eg because the idea came to your mind and you're so much of a shit you didn't hesitate to go through with it because you were so sure you'd be able to accomplish your agenda of trolling.
>>98392578>You
>>98392581You really don't give anyone any reasons to not treat you as one loser, particularly with your whole thing of calling everyone else by one name.
>>98392522Under two hundred images out of well over forty six thousand. One hundred of them were just pictures from Spice and Wolf that somebody took from a booru and re-uploaded, with most of the rest being loli porn that had been missed by root during his loli purge in 2021, a few images of live porn that people had uploaded to save for their own use later, and other garbage.this was all documented publicly on the Meat Cube page.https://1d6chan.miraheze.org/wiki/Operation_Meat_CubeThere was a hue and cry from people who never actually visited the site that we had broken everything forever, of course, but that went away after the administrator of 2d4chan came out as a pedophile and the people shilling for him became mysteriously silent about 1d6chan.
>>98392595If you say so, faggot
>>98392375>and it's flourishingLol, just like Trench Crusade >>98392610>still insisting he's heckin basederinoLolLmaoIt's a site for tourists and redditors now.
>>98388388banish this man to elemental planes
>>98392657Not saying you're right, but to be fair, 1d4chan was also constantly accused of being a site for tourists and redditors.You also can cut him some slack. The point and purpose of the wiki may have changed, but it's good to still have one around.
>>98392610>>98392657>>98392679And I don't hold purging pedo-content against him, but you know the type of Anon who sees that as some unforgivable censorship.
>>98392698There's actually some content that I regret seeing go because I've always been a fan of Chink, but I guess I have to make peace with that considering the servers are hosted in fascist England.
>>98392679In no way at all has the point of the wiki changed. We kept the old Campaign: and Setting: and Story: namespaces, so people can add homebrews to them any time. Our newest Wrangler has even created special tabbing templates with QuietBrowser's help, so people can add their own twist to custom Tactics/ pages. Here's a screengrab of my Admin level Namespace controls.I honestly find it mystifying that people insist the wiki has changed direction. It just, plainly, simply isn't true.>>98392698Indeed. We even saw a brief incident with the 2d4chan admin, Nuber, He decided to alter 2d4chan from its original role as a backup, and made it a fork instead, deleting a ton of the old Campaign: and Story: namespace content and adding new pages. Then he came out as a nomap and the community dropped him like a live grenade.
>>98392705We had nothing to do with Chink's content deletion. The only stuff we got rid of there was drawn cp that root missed, and one or two images of actual, live-action porn that people uploaded but never linked on a page. Root himself purged all the loli drawfriend content five years ago, well before my team and I took over after Root disappeared.I still have a master archive of the 1d4chan wiki database, its .yaml and .xml files, and an image dump from the 1d4chan backups pulled months before Root disappeared, and my team and I meticulously searched the entire thing for any illegal content. Only about fifteen images out of well over 46,000 were expressly illegal, and the rest was just not worth fighting our incredibly generous new hosts over.One of the admins of Miraheze, our new hosts, is a fan of 1d4chan from waaaay back in the day, and they generously onboarded us with no trouble at all.
>>98392705>but I guess I have to make peace with that considering the servers are hosted in fascist England.He's using the same hosting service that the literal fucking Nechronica wiki is run through, the "big mean miraheze is censoring us, im just helpless lil smol bean :(((" shit was also a cope and a lie so this faggot could prune the "undesirable past" of /tg/.He's gloated about doing exactly that before
>>98392720>drawn cpNot a thing.
>>98392765Pretending to be retarded on the internet is bad for your brain.
>>98392706>In no way at all has the point of the wiki changed.It's less that the wiki changed, and more that /tg/ and 4chan (and the sites surrounding it) have changed.It's similar to how suptg may be largely unchanged, but its role on /tg/ is entirely different from when it used to be almost a second pulse for this board and helped encourage people to create content, somewhat amusingly with upvoting that predated Reddit. Now, we have archives that preserve every thread and every post, and the amount of content worth preserving has ironically decreased dramatically. There's also many more competitor sites for 4chan, and even a shift in the culture of 4chan.The wiki allows for people to actually build up knowledge in a way that the archives don't, but /tg/ has really changed since the days when 1d4chan served as the only place you could find certain information or images that would otherwise be posted on /tg/ only to disappear within a matter of hours. While the grander purpose of the wiki may be unchanged, I don't think it would be amiss to recognize a lot of the earliest articles were written by people who thought it was going to be much more like Enclopedia Dramatica and to approach them with a mature "It was a different time" mindset.
>>98391796They're spamming that to poison the well since it so effectively brands and shuts down non-topic single sentence spam and puckeeshit. Bumpfag often gets rustled and tries to false flag, it's usually because he's been called out in the last few days or so. He hates generals because people in them only care about the explicit topic and dont respond to his writing prompts. He wants the generals removed so he has more noise providing cover for, and more users exposed to, his spam threads.
>>98392247>if I uno card hard enough everyone will believe me That anon was right, you have a defective theory of mind.
>>98392781Oh, undoubtedly the board has changed. I think the site has had something of a role reversal, honestly. New articles tend to be fairly long, while older ones tended to be made in short bursts. The board used to have threads that lasted for weeks and contained a lot of creative writing, but now is mostly people calling each other names and achieving nothing.Sup/tg/ has had similar issues. Their discord is even more active than ours, too, and we get along well, but a lot of the creative spark that our two sites were created to preserve has moved from the board they were created to augment to the spinoffs themselves.It's a shame, but I think that as long as /tg/ effectively has no means employed to get rid of bad actors and spammers, there's really no recourse.Still, it's not a problem for 1d6chan at least. We literally have fresh Tactics/ and Homebrew/ edits every single day, and webtraffic shows us that we've had 12600 to 20000 visitors every day for two years.
>>98392786>non-topic single sentence spamCan you, wholeheartedly, fuck the fuck off, forever?You don't understand much about this board, likely because you don't have a full perspective of what it used to be like, or what made it great.The energy and freedom of early /tg/ would probably make your puckered asshole clench so hard your anus would compress into a diamond. People did not labor on making threads, they posted ideas and let the natural mechanism of the board determine what sank and what swam, and you saw dozens of threads every day that would probably give someone like you a heart attack but it didn't matter because there would be hundreds more.What was "on-topic" was left much looser than it is now, and that was largely due to differences in perspective of what traditional games were and how strictly you had to adhere to them, but also partly due to things like there not being a /his/ or even a /lit/ board. Now, even clearly /tg/ related threads still have trolls appearing in them demanding credentials. Back in the day, if not enough people agreed a thread was on topic, it would just disappear in a matter of hours.People like your puckee would be a minor nuisance instead of that world-ending threat you see him as, because those threads would die within hours instead of weeks. The natural defense of this board was volume and turnover, with a turnover rate of 2 hours making it essentially impossible for a single person to bump a thread even for a full day unless they opted not to sleep.Single sentence threads are essential because they allow anyone a quick and easy entrance into a discussion, and you can see them as the lifeblood of the more active boards, all while helping the ever vital turnover rate that prevents stagnation and small parties from bumping threads long overdue for death, whether its your bumpfags or the small generals.
>>98392809>we're the TRVE inheritors of /tg/'s vital spark!Yeah, and Romania are the true inheritors of Rome's spirit and legacy.
>>98392786>BumpfagMan take your meds; Even if it was a Bumpfag plot, is it even worth the energy to sperg out about it?I'm more convinced anti-General sentiment is fueled by /v/tards wanting /v/ turnover speeds and those burned by particular Generals' regulars.>>98392809>The board used to have threads that lasted for weeks and contained a lot of creative writingBecause yeah, it was never a FAST board, and wanting more individual threads to speed things up doesn't jive with that.>>98392836>People like your puckee would be a minor nuisance instead of that world-ending threat you see him as, because those threads would die within hours instead of weeks. The natural defense of this board was volume and turnover, with a turnover rate of 2 hours making it essentially impossible for a single person to bump a thread even for a full day unless they opted not to sleep./tg/ was NEVER that fast!
>>98392836Taking off your trip doesn't make your sanctimonious, self-righteous tourist fart-huffing any less obvious, SE
>>98392845>/tg/ was NEVER that fast!Yes, yes it was. At our peak population, during peak hours (East Coast 7-11), we had a turnover rate often under 2 hours. The turnover rate would slow down considerably in the smaller hours, but very often if a thread didn't get a post after 11 it meant it would be gone by the morning.
>>98392836That's a bit nostalgic. Not sure it holds up.Back in 2011, when I first started making my writethreads, I could keep one going for a week. My record was a hair over eight days. Even after SWQ made anime quests more popular, we could reliably keep threads going with creative writing up for up to five days.There were still useless posters and spammers, sure, but the very moderation they decried also kept them at bay. I remember clearly when the IRC server's malign eye would sweep across the board and a few dozen posts would disappear.It's easy to forget now, because it hasn't been done in at least seven years, but we used to have a lot of writing threads - not mass-contribution ones, but single-contributor ones - before about 2019 or so. They've consolidated into Discord servers now, but they were there, and some were quite impressive.
>>98392845>/tg/ was NEVER that fast!Oldfag here. Yes it was. Even if you were posting at off-peak hours, you might need to samefag and bump your own thread a few times to keep it from getting swept away and 404'd before anyone saw it.
>>98392840Well, 1d6fags ARE thieving gypsy cunts, so it tracks.
>>98392858No it wasn't, unless you are talking peak election tourism...>>98392864>They've consolidated into Discord servers now, but they were there, and some were quite impressive.Indeed...>>98392872Not on /tg/!
>>98392906God, I remember that thread. It was good for containing horni away from the other writing threads, at least.
>>98392906Kill yourself ND
I mourn /co/ just as much as I mourn /tg/too many faggots trying to gaslight us into thinking that our origins were not with /a/ and /b/
>>98392914>It was good for containing horni away from the other writing threads, at least.No it fucking wasn't you revisionist faggot. ND and other wstfags would invade and try to hijack other threads and try to recruit people for their generals. It was odious as fuck, which is why it got banned.
>>98392914I mean /wst/ technically still exist, if after a period of bouncing around on red boards til /aco/ was created.>>98392930>too many faggots trying to gaslight us into thinking that our origins were not with /a/ and /b/I mean I was at least post 2013, so I wouldn't know if the truly oldfag days were that frantic.>>98392932>which is why it got bannedIt got banned because a group started spamming the shit out of it to get it auto-saged!
>>98391513Generals serve as places where people actually discuss traditional games, because the trolls, spammers, and vagueposters avoid them.Nobody shits up D&D3.5e with "should elves fart in your setting?"
tell me to those in this thread are you actually doing any /tg/ing or are you no game faggots?me personally I'm in 4 different gamesI'm a player in Fabula Ultima gameMy brother inlaw runs a family DnD campaign that runs like maybe twice a monthI GM a seperate Fabula ultima gameI'm not entirely sure if it counts cause it was invented on /qst/ it's one of them every player runs a faction in a setting writes their turn sends it to the GM and then once the GM gets everything he outputs the turn results and impact on the setting via dice rolls and all that type games, but 40k themed
>>98392939>a group started spamming the shit out of it to get it auto-saged!This. Hundreds of fake threads to enrage people until the mods shut it down. And there were a lot of fake NDs running around too, trying to stir up posters and try to get them to blame /wst/ for it.
>>98392968>it's one of them every player runs a faction in a setting writes their turn sends it to the GM and then once the GM gets everything he outputs the turn results and impact on the setting via dice rolls and all that type gamesIt counts.>>98392980To be fair, I can be rather obnoxious...Glad you immediately sus'd out that fake asking for Yotsuba porn.
>>98392836Now you have single sentence threads persisting for weeks, if not months. Look at >>98027613. It's been alive for nearly three months, a whole fucking quarter of a year. There is no real discussion happening here. It's clearly one person talking to himself.People don't engage with single sentence threads because nearly all of them are just like that thread. Long after legitimate discussion died, it's kept alive for no reason other than to soothe someone's obsessions. There's no reason to post in that thread because you'll just get a reply 36 hours later with a surface level question about your post, if the bumper bothers even replying to (You) specifically.It would be a nonissue if /tg/ was faster, like you said. But as is, you have multiple threads like this clinging to the board like cobwebs. It's been like this for years now and traffic to this board is cratering. We currently get less posts per day than we did in 2009.Ultimately though, demanding credentials is meaningless because the person responsible for this can't be reasoned with, nor can any of the users do anything to remove them. So people are leaving for greener pastures instead.
>>98392939>>98392997>get kicked out of 110 internet communities>"no, its all of them who are wrong!"

>>98393021>There is no real discussion happening here.That outright says it's a compendium of World Building resources, it's a Trove thread and thus isn't suppose to be that active.Plus it isn't a "single sentence" thread either...Speeding up the board isn't going to help legitimate but low activity threads, just create even more inane chaff to ignore.>>98393041>>get kicked out of 110 internet communitiesIt's honestly only been about a half-dozen, not great sure, but at least three were specific interpersonal conflicts.

>>98393065Only if you eat their asses
>>98392836Why are you giving the "traditional games?" subhumans the benefit of the doubt?They already have been here long enough to prove that they're off-site tourist that don't care and don't want to adhere to the pre-existing culture of 4chan. Multiple anons across multiple threads have caught them with their assholes wide open and have exposed them, not only like tourist, but also as imbeciles that literally DON'T PLAY GAMES. These people are not here to play games, they're here to police the board. Which should be obvious because anyone who has a real hobby doesn't have the energy or the will to go around chasing threads in 4chan of all places. Not even mods, who are the ones who actually hold the power here, bother to do and in fact have relaxed the rules lately in the board reason why the quality has been increasing at baby steps, probably as a result of the activity on the website getting decimated over time.The wanna-be jannies are hostile actors to the board and should be treated like you would treat a non-intelligent monster in a dungeon: bullying and execution. They're not here to make this place better, they're hostile to anons and the whole website.
>>98392375t. censorship apologist
>>98393128>plural good chance it's one guy
>>98386734I wonder what set of circumstances even could lead an Eldar to try to join the Sisters of Battle. Even the most xenos-tolerant order would just tell her to fuck off.
>>98393201The most no-life asshole in the board then.
>>98393222that tracks>>98393211>Even the most xenos-tolerant order would just tell her to fuck off.Could an eldar girl reasonably hide her heritage for a long duration of time? Maybe it's a racial "She's the Man" situation.
>>98393211>>98393229(me) Also SoB lists can literally run an Eldar character RIGHT NOW. To be honest, I haven't read the novel these characters are from, but this should be an indication that not every group of Sisters responds with "kill on sight" to all xenos.
>>98393122This is a common misconception, keeping your toothbrush uncovered in the bathroom when cohabiting with a catgirl is just as bad
>>98393275Does she stick it up her ass?
>>98392836Hey bumpfag :)The funny thing about "an easy way into the discussion" is that there is no discussion in them because they're spam. If i make a genuine thread it will be drowned out by the spam.. everyone knows this, so they dont create and dont reply and now the board is fucked. And what is your solution?>make something good for me by replying to my spam!No, i wont. Do it yourself. You want to know why the board is dead? We all hate you and hate what you're doing. We gave up and left because of you. You killed it. The proof? Years of spam and years of declining users. Use your eyes.
>>98386745All creatives got run out
>>98391455retarded of you to say that in a thread where the op is talking about a perfect counterexample
>>98392578Holy shit what a demented schizo you are. Why would you type these massive screeds about individual posts you think another anon posted literally years ago? Do you genuinely not realize how psychotically obsessed this makes you seem? I kind of get now why they call you Fishfag, labeling you makes sense.
>>983875348/tg/
>>98393604Didn't Hotwheels turn over all his shit to the feds?Also, last I checked that place was deader than Zendaya's acting except the really gross boards .Do you really want to escape to an already tripped honeypot full of low-iq pederasts and fart huffers?I'd rather just duke it out here.
>>98392836>You don't understand much about this board, likely because you don't have a full perspective of what it used to be like, or what made it greatBack then, most people that posted on /tg/ actively engaged in the hobbies that this board is supposed to be based on. That's the big difference. Even shitposts and off-topic was in good faith in away, and taken as something to inspire actual game ideas.Now, this board is just for people from /v/ and /a/ to make hornyposts about elves and ask them once what they actually play and you get dead silence.
>>98392485>You're a walking talking STDReally, are they wrong?>B-but it's cring-You're cringe, you're here 2+ years after someone pulled your pants down in front of the class by telling a storytime, screaming and showing everyone your corkboard which proves how you totally never got owned and are actually the winner of the argument.You're incredibly cringe and they're completely right about us all being stuck with an endless barrage of pathetic autism whenever you're around.All you're doing is reposting facts about yourself and expecting people to go "You're right, that sounds nothing like you, what a nutter" when no, it's a perfect description.
>>98393737This bitch is throwing a fit because he got proven wrong over 16 years ago and has made it his mission to fuck up the board ever since.
>>98393638>already tripped honeypot full of low-iq pederasts and fart huffers?>I'd rather just duke it out here.Pick two
>>98392968More info on the 40k thing, please. How long do the players have time. How long does the GM take for the output and how much does everyone write on average?
>>98393860Y'know what?Fairs.But Hotwheels literally got his pockets turned out in his pad in some SEAmonkey country by glowies and personally handed over all his logs, and frankly, with a dramatically lower userbase (the site is basically dead) that's a lotta focus on a relatively small group of people.Here?There's a million cunts, it'd take them actual centuries to snoop on us all.Although the best protection from snoopers is to A: have nothing to hide and B: be painfully boring.

I stopped contributing because I got old and sick, now I'm barely alive enough to go to work and there isn't a drop of creative juice left for me to squeeze out.
>>98391796The bad actors are the fags who can't stand the idea of talking about traditional games on the traditional games board
>Why does it bother you that people lie? They've been lying for thousands of years. That makes it acceptable for some reason, which of course I will not provide.
>>98392906>Not on /tg/!Yes, on /tg/. This place is a withered husk of its former self.
>>98392836No. Stop spamming.

>>98392864oh I see, you forgot which board you're on. easy mistake to make. if you look up at the top there, you'll see it says Traditional Games. not Creative Writing. hope this helps, stupid nigger.

>>98394180Janny loves me, I'm convinced that issuing my weekly ban is the only reason she (male) has to get up any more.
>>98392786that shit has never shut down anything lol. it's an admirable attempt, but ineffective. tg is dead
>>98393655This. Even though /tg/ was much faster and the shitposts and non-serious threads were far more common, everyone on /tg/ knew enough about at least a few games or genres to hold genuine conversations about nearly anything, if they felt like it. But the speed meant that if a thread was fucking retarded and low effort, it would either die, or people with something more interesting to say would take it over. This was not because /tg/ wanted to salvage every thread or because every topic was worth treating as a serious thing to be discussed unironically. Most bad threads died and retards retroactively applied survivorship bias to the ones where /tg/ "spun shit into gold"
>>98393128if you play games, why are you opposed to the people asking you if you play games, instead of the people shitting up the board with off topic, low quality shitpost spam threads?
>>98394155Nazimod was a retard who wasn't actually applying the rules, but actually just deleting whatever he didn't like and taking out his impotent rage on random fa/tg/uys for pointing out what a bad mod he was. Current mods will ban you for "off-topic" posting because you replied to a conversation that's been going all day, and then delete 100 posts, but they will leave a dozen shitty puckee threads and piscinehomo arguments up for as long as it takes for those problems to repeat themselves in new threads.The middle ground isn't "a moderate amount of nazimod activity" but quite simply: "Applying the fucking rules with a modicum of common sense."
>>98394355>instead of the people shitting up the board with off topic, low quality shitpost spam threads?>traditional games? >somehow not this lol
>>98394363A post isn't a thread and, as you've been told repeatedly, if a thread on /tg/ cannot withstand being asked simple questions, then it is a bad thread and should be removed. If you cannot discuss traditional games and you do not like being confronted by the people on /tg/ who demand you talk about traditional games, or fuck off, then why the fuck are you here?
>>98394362>they will leave a dozen shitty puckee threads and piscinehomo arguments up for as long as it takes for those problems to repeat themselves in new threads.Because they are instructed to do so.Pads out the interaction stats.
>>98394367>then it is a bad thread and should be removedFortunately not how it works. Its not just >thing I don't like is against the rules Go cry to the mods on irc about it if you need to.
I still post my autistic worldbuilding stuff on the worldbuilding threads after all these years because that creative element of old /tg/ is what got me back to drawing and writing stuff, and I have no real other place to do it that is anonymous. Sure I also put my drawings on my personal gallery on deviant art and occasionally post on twitter but those places aren't the same. Twitter is especially cancerous. I prefer the anonymous environment of this site. Plus I've been here for too long to leave and I have no irl friends with whom to engage in any of this sort of nerdy crap.
>>98394180You're welcome to post about elves on /d/ or /trash/ all you want, as that is on topic there.this board isn't /elves/. it's traditional games. an elf isn't a game. an elf is an elf. you know what is a game? a game. games are games. when you're on the board for discussing games, you will discuss games. I'm not asking.
>>98394363Yeah. Well? Why are you? You didn't answer me.
>>98394377That is exactly how it works, in fact.
>>98394377So you're admitting that you come to /tg/ to cause problems and then act angry and self-righteous when people tell you to fuck off. Because you're not taking your own advice are you? Do you cry to the mods when someone asks "what system?" or "traditional games?" or do you already know that you're a fucking poopdickschizo retard who is only here to get an outrage high by telling /tg/ that they are wrong to mock your shitty threads and inability to engage with on-topic discussion?
>>98394379Writing is on topic on /lit/.
>>98394363The retard that spams the "what game" question is a fucking newfag troll. He has exposed himself multiple times, a notable example is how he didn't recognize art that depicted a tyranid hivefleet in a thread that was started with such a picture and a question that didn't directly mention the nids but was obviously about them to anyone who knows even modicum of 40k lore. You are better of just ignoring the "what game" posts entirely because they are almost always made disgeniously.
>>98394401Enjoy your ban.
>>98394401Literally none of that has ever happened and it's not one guy.
>>98394396Writing is also on topic here. Same goes for drawing and general worldbuilding.
>>98394355Are you actually autistic?Let me put you in a scenario.You have a nice car and want to do some scenic touring. You drop into your friendly auto club, and ask "Where are some good roads on the southern coast of France? I'd really like to go through some picturesque twists and turns."And, immediately, someone demands to see your driver's license. And your car registration. And demands to see a photo of you driving. He acts like he doesn't think it's possible that you can drive, like driving is some mystical talent only a few chosen people have ever attained.And, some of your buddies in the auto club get up, and begin to beat the shit out of the faggot, who is crying that he's got a driver's license and is one of God's chosen few and that all he wanted to do was preserve the purity of the auto club, a club he's only in because he keeps crawling back in regardless of how many times he's been kicked out.And all you really wanted to do is go for a nice drive this Sunday.
>>98394423You're such a disingenuous cunt that you have to make up a ridiculous scenario to try and explain why you're so upset by 2 word posts that you could have filtered out in seconds, instead of wasting hours of your life, multiple times a week, trying to explain why people shouldn't tell puckee to go kill himself or asking vague low-effort threads "what system?"Tell us in your own words why puckee threads deserve to be treated like real, on-topic discussion. Amuse us, retard.
>>98394402Ignoring your shitposting is not breaking any rules of this site, newfaggot.
>>98394391Weird, you seem to go into a lot of threads you think are bad repeatedly and try throwing a tantrum.
>>98394442Except you don't ignore it. You bitch about it endlessly and every time you get everyone who bothers to read your retarded screeds telling you that you are wrong and also a huge faggot for being this mad and this dedicated to defending puckee-tier threads.
>>98394389Not the original anon you were crying to. Posting about games is easy when you play them, I do that quite a bit. Posting about ideas is likewise easy, or art or other things related to traditional games that inspire. You can try reporting the things you think are off topic, talking with the mods about what rules you think are being broken, or actually just practice what you preach and only post about your games. Or continue complaining forever and being mad. I know which one you'll actually do but its too bad you can be given direct solutions to your woes and still not do it. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
>>98394392...no? You have brain problems and are a huge fucking tourist. I'll use simple words for your simple mind. Not all posts you mad are same person.Not all board have to good feels you. That's it really.
>>98394408Yes it fucking did, I was there to see it.https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/95836690/#95836690
>>98394434Make a better thread instead, push the puckee spam down with good stuff instead of flooding the board with negativity that does not stay contained in puckee threads.You want to act like you are always correct and only ever troll bad threads. Even if this unlikely and laughable statement was true, you are not alone in trolling and attacking threads and demanding people prove their /tg/ credentials, despite demonstrating that it's really you that don't belong here.Every single one of you wannabe gatekeepers imagines he knows what's best for the board, and with all of you having different ideas, that leads to basically every thread except the most boring and clinically produced ones being tagged by retards demanding "proof of play" as if that's what seperates a good poster from a bad one.Some of the absolute worst posters on this board are guys who play too much but play in all the wrong ways and imagine they can demand people respect them and their opinions. These self-important fags are the exact type of people who would imagine they own this board and have a right to try and police it, when they are the very people must would prefer were kept out.
>>98394450I do ignore you usually. I never answer your retarded wannabe janny questions in threads I am engaging in, this is an exeption because it is a meta thread. You have zero power of this board, and it is a public service announcement on my part to tell other anons on this board to just fucking ignore your newfaggot ass.
>>98394493Also, I present concrete evidence here of how the "what game" spammer is a fucking newfag.>>98394479Anyone with even slightest hint of cultural osmosis from /tg/ and the shit that is discussed here would have realized what that thread was about from the image and the question just by themselves. But not our wannabe fucking janny here, because he's a fucking tourist to this board.
>>98394493>wannabe janny >and it is a public service announcement on my part to tell other anonslmao good luck with that.
>>98394484>Make a better thread instead, push the puckee spam down with good stuff instead of flooding the board with negativity that does not stay contained in puckee threads.Put your fake tone policing bullshit right back up your ass where it belongs. Your solution is nonsense and your whining about gatekeeping only exposes that you are the faggot being kept out by the gate.We'd need to make and bump dozens of threads to push puckee's shit off the catalog and none of that would stop him from bumping them on page 10 like he always does. Which would be awfully terrible for someone like you who is so sensitive to low effort posting and policing the board, wouldn't it?>Some of the absolute worst posters on this board are guys who play too much but play in all the wrong waysAt least they fucking play and care about games, unlike you, who is more concerned with two word dismisals to threads you don't even fucking care about in the first place.>>98394493>I do ignore you usually.>youThere you go again. Insisting that there's only one bad person on /tg/ and he shows up to argue with you because he's the one doing all the bad things you're arguing about. It can't possibly be that your arguments are retarded and everyone on /tg/ who replies and disagrees with you simply thinks you're a fucking idiot.
>>98394510It is funny how you are trying to pretend that the "what game" spammer isn't just some retarded autistic wannabe janny. That shit is not in any way organic behavior to this board and wasn't a thing even half a decade ago. I have very good reasons to suspect that it is just one autistic fuck who is also a newfag given how he has at times accidentally exposed his own newfaggotry.
>>98394479>thread has no topic>image is not immediately recognizable, nor does it have a filename>first reply to "what game?" is someone answering honestly>second reply is (You) having a shitfitI'd bet money you're the one making those posts because you think you're going to convince /tg/ to side with you against the two-word menace that is ruining /tg/ by making One (1) post on threads that asks a question that can be easily answered.God, you're fucking pathetic.
>>98394525>isn't just some retarded autistic wannabe janny.Nope, that's you. What system, traditional games, and all the other permutations on it are genuine questions that can have very easy answers. If you have this much of a meltdown to basic inquiries, why are you here? Those posts never derail threads, but you always show up to seethe about it and then tell /tg/ that you are doing, and I quote, "a public service announcement on my part to tell other anons on this board"
>>98394527>>first reply to "what game?" is someone answering honestlyAre you fucking retarded? Did you read the actual reply he gave? Did you even read the fucking thread? It is obviously about fucking tyranids and the first response to the newfaggot is entirely in jest.
>>98394538And you're still having a fucking melty because one post in a 201 post thread, which you contributed nothing to, and instead seethed about someone respond to a vague thread with a simple question. Explain yourself.
>>98394537Yes, those questions can be entirely legitimate, too bad the "what game" newfaggot does not ask them with any genuine discussion or interest in mind, he spams the question in his retarded autistic crusade to "expose" no games posters on this board. Which is why he is best ignored because even if you answer his questions he doesn't actually have any interest in discussing the topic. Which is why I call him a wannabe janny.Informing other anons that it is best to just ignore that faggot is not trying to police the behavior of other people posting on this site, it is just general advice because engaging with him genuinely is pointless as he is not here for genuine discussion about anything.
>>98394544No, I am merely providing concrete evidence that you are a fucking newfaggot tourist, and that ignoring your inane attempts at policing the board is for the better than giving you any fucking attention. Enjoy your last (you) from me.
>>98394417Wrong.
>>98394423Are you? Didn't read your post btw I'm right and you're wrong
>>98394554You can try all you want to paint those singular posts are some blight on the board, but all you're doing is projecting. You're a fucking retard and severely autistic, and you think you're protecting /tg/ from two-word posts that neither derail, damage, nor harm /tg/, but can be answered honestly, or ignored with zero effort.Yet you still insist that this is a serious problem perpetrated by a single anon, who you think is me, despite the fact that you've been talking to multiple people in this thread and all the other meta-discussions where you do this routine, who tell you that you're a huge retarded faggot wannabe janny who doesn't actually have a legitimate case to make.Your best evidence, thus far, is that someone responded to a vague, low effort thread, and you think that cracks the case wide open about evil newfags trying to destroy the board by demanding context and clear discussion about actual games. And the funniest part is that I've never made a single one of those posts, but you're deadset on policing that anon and anyone else you questions your retarded wannabe janny behavior.
>>98394448Yeah. Stop breaking the rules.
>>98394458Enjoy your ban.
>>98394566Incorrect. There are no rules on /tg/ against drawings, writing or worldbuilding. Those have always been part of both the board culture and traditional games in general. Don't tell me that you don't draw art or write stuff your characters etc?
>>98394510Oh my god.You're actually, genuinely retarded.>none of that would stop him from bumping them on page 10 OHH NOOOOOOOO. THE PERFECTION OF /TG/ IS BEING TAINTED. SURELY THAT MEANS WE MUST ALL ATTACK EVERY THREAD WE PERSONALLY DISAPPROVE OF.Get over yourself. You're acting like that the ideal form of /tg/ is where every thread is made by some card-carrying robot who adheres to your personal standards, and that such a state would be blissful and perfect, and not a stagnated pile of shit where everyone has been driven away by your shitposting fueled by dreams of a perfect board where everyone shares your vision. /tg/ has always had bad threads and will always have bad threads. It's just too easy to make them and bump them and to have them fit in with whatever meaningless standards are put in place. The question is not how do we get rid of all the bad threads (an impossible sterilizing effort that would result in the death of this board) but how do we make good threads. And, unqualified, un-elected vigilantes roaming the streets attempting to each be the one who determines what is considered a "good" thread has left this place just a pit of negativity with people discouraged from making threads when that's exactly what we need to minimize the effect of the "bad" threads.>At least they fucking play and care about games, unlike you,I play games and care about them. It's because of that that I don't put any stock on that being some magical trait that makes me superior to other people.You, being genuinely retarded, likely have very little you can actually take pride in, hence why you think "playing games" is some high standard that you can accuse people of not meeting. You're very much the exact sort of retarded poster who needs to lurk more and say less, and actually learn about games before he opines so much about them and tries to discourage other people from discussing them in a manner of their choosing.
>>98394508Too bad. You WILL specify the game being discussed in your opening post. DO NOT make me tell you again.
>>98394594Wrong.
>>98394595Good lord you're a disingenuous faggot, aren't you? Your solutions don't work and when someone points that out you go>UHHH /TG/ HAS ALWAYS SUCKED ANYWAYS????You clearly don't like this place. Why are you here? What do you think you achieve by doing this pretend janny routinewhile accusing everyone else of ruining the board by insisting the rules are enforced properly?
>>98394596>I've told you hundreds of times to tell me the game you are playing, nogames child! Your thread is already over. Enjoy your ban!
>>98394595>I play games and care about them. It's because of that that I don't put any stock on that being some magical trait that makes me superior to other people.And yet, you respond to "what system?" with so much rage that you have to have this argument at least once a week in any meta-adjacent thread where you insist that the worst thing about /tg/ is people asking for people to talk about games instead of making vague questions about farm girls and other vapid template meme threads.
>>98394611>Good lord you're a disingenuous faggot, aren't you?Oof, that's some intense irony.>UHHH /TG/ HAS ALWAYS SUCKED ANYWAYS????Not what was said.>/tg/ has always had bad threads and will always have bad threads.That's not the same as /tg/ always having sucked. During the times /tg/ was at its best, it was far from perfect. In fact, it probably had more genuinely bad threads up then than even now. But, I would happily take a /tg/ with 100 bad threads and 10 good ones over 110 mediocre threads.That's the lesson I'm trying to teach you, you genuinely retarded manchild. Looking back at the best times of /tg/, the average quality of the thread OP's was probably worse than what it is now, at least on the surface level. But, it was people trying out ideas, throwing things at the wall and seeing what stuck, being innovative and interesting and creating content and just being human.You'd rather see a board that's sterilized and robotic. And dead.
>>98394615Your funeral.
>>98394654No, I'd rather see a board where people talk about games, since the board is for talking about games. Let me know if you're still struggling.
>>98394603According to whom or what? Because neither the rules, nor the mods ban writing, drawing or worldbuilding. There have been drawthreads, worldbuilding threads and writing threads on this boardin some form since it's inception. We wouldn't have any of the original content this board has produced if those aspects of the hobby were forbidden here.
Is there anything in the world more pathetic than a wanna be janny.Unable to even convince the powers that be to let them do it for free, they instead dream and fantasize about doing it for free.
>>98394624>And yet, you respond to "what system?" with so much rage ...do I? Spoiler: You've been talking with other people. You're talking with other people even in this thread.It sounds like you've been pissing off people across this board, and still somehow imagining that people would like you to continue doing whatever it is that you're doing.
>>98394681He's trying to gasslight people into thinking that there are actually multiple people who engage in the "what game" spam lmao. His posts in this thread are basically running desperate defense for his own retarded actions.
>>98394681>>98394690>It's totally multiple people who support my one-man backseat janny routine!Lmao you're fucking desperate.
>98394695Cope about it, newfaggot. You will never, ever be a janny.
>>98394676Maybe really ugly, generally smelly, meanspirited people, who also sexually abuse baby animals, and have poor social skills and terrible fashion sense.But it's close.
So, was OP brought up to speed about the absolute fucking state of this board with this thread? We are already past the bump limit. Is there anything more to say, and what did we learn today?
>>98394667And, I would like to talk about games in the manner of my choosing, while allowing others to do so as well, even if I personally disagree with how they do it as long as they are not discouraging others from exploring what games mean for themselves.This is pretty basic Law vs. Chaos, "you're trying to roleplay as a fascist on a tibetian horseshoe-flinging forum" shit. What the board needs is not more people giving lipservice to the rules (which, you must understand, is exactly what the puckee threads do) or going on vigilante crusades and demanding that the rules become even stricter.What it needs is recognition that you can never actually control a population of humans effectively with strict rules, and that trying to dominate and control other intelligent people is almost always a mistake. Your path only leads to what we've been seeing: stagnation and a slow death spiral. What we need to do, speaking from the voice of Chaos and Hippies, is once again promote a spirit of camaraderie and encourage people to post more and post more freely. While this would inevitably lead to more "bad threads", it would also lead to more good ones, because the fundamental issue at the moment is that the "good actors" have been so thoroughly discouraged from doing anything that only the bad actors have any incentives to post.
>>98394716>(You)
>98394758>Everyone who is mocking me is totally a samefag here's my edited screengrab to prove it!Top kjeh, did it really take you 10 fucking minutes to edit those (you)s into that screengrab?
>>98394758I actually have the other half of that guy's post demonstrating that you're talking to at least two other people.
This shitshow is why I stay in the generals of games I play.
>Replies to any attempt to stop being a dogshit bastard by accusing other people of having a meltdown>Acts like he's a Janny. Isn't but happily goes demanding they punish people after snitching on them.>Unrelenting autism that lasts across years of threadsLads.I fear to even say this aloud for fear of the consequences but;I think "Traditional Games" shitter might be the one known as Fishfag/Nightlandsfag
>>98394827You need to fuck off forever.in one post, you've made yourself even worse than the "traditional games?" posters, and that's pretty impressive.Can you do everyone a favor? Put on a trip, and see how long it takes for the entire board to be unified in wishing you were dead.
>>98394793You genuinely believe that anyone is as pissed off about singular "what system?" posts in half-assed threads as you are and that anyone supports your janny routine? And you expect us to believe that after you've completely failed to make any substantial argument for why singular posts asking "what system?" is such a tremendous problem that it requires your constant sperging and autstic ranting about how much you care about /tg/ and are trying to save it from an evil cabal of one newfag tourist whose only crime that you obsess over is asking... "What system?"Do you even listen to yourself, or are you genuinely just so fucking stupid that you think this is a convincing argument that people agree with, even though you've been alone in this one man janny larp for as long as you've been doing this?
>Immediate fucking psychotic overreaction to someone even putting the possibility out thereVery interesting.
>>98394890Hey buddy, I'm not sure what you think is going on here. I'm not even sure what's going on any more.Are you >>98394827 ?If not, that means I'm looking at two people who are trying to do the same dumb thing of trying to make everyone else into one person, and frankly if its the two of you going at each other's throats, I kinda hope you both figure out how to kill each other.
>>98394185>Hasn't motivated entire generations of JanniesPATHETIC!>>98394380>You're welcome to post about elves on /d/ or /trash/ all you want, as that is on topic there.Fucker, /d/viants get pissed if you write more than a sentence to go with your image posting!>>98394595>And, unqualified, un-elected vigilantes roaming the streets attempting to each be the one who determines what is considered a "good" thread has left this place just a pit of negativity with people discouraged from making threads when that's exactly what we need to minimize the effect of the "bad" threads.Agreed.>>98394737>What we need to do, speaking from the voice of Chaos and Hippies, is once again promote a spirit of camaraderie and encourage people to post more and post more freely.I mean this is why I encourage lewd posting...THE GEARS MUST BE LUBED!!!
>>98394932Cut me some slack man, I take a year or two hiatus from this shithole every once in a while.I'm sure I've razzed multiple generations of tranny jannies; they're just basically interchangeable is all.
>>98394913>Notice that one infamously irritating character has a particularly arrogant, faggy and narcissistic approach to the board, treating themselves as some kind of Philosopher King who can question and interrogate everyone else as to their motivations for posting>Notice the exact same behaviour in another well known poster>Huh, I wonder if these are the same person>Hurr, why are you trying to make everyone the same personNot everyone, just recognized patterns of particularly distinct retardation. Maybe if you don't want people to describe you as Magenta you shouldn't be a giant purple faggot.
>>98394932...You're kind of the guy who makes freedom look bad.To go more into the Hippie analogy, the "Free Love" movement originally was an effort to try and break the societal/governmental control over Marriage and Sex that basically stratified and segregated human relationships. Most people today really don't appreciate just how restrictive the laws regarding Marriage and Sex were in the 1800s and early 1900s (let alone in the centuries prior), and how they were incredibly skewed to be permissive to the rich (predominantly rich men) while subjugating the poor.And, put in the hands of the wrong hippies and seen through the wrong propaganda lens, it became more synonymous with promiscuity, polygamy, sexual deviancy, and less about freedoms everyone could agree upon and more about freedoms that opponents of Free Love could point at as the reason strict laws were needed.Back to games, I want you to have the freedom to discuss games in the way you want, because I want to also have the freedom to discuss the games in the way I want. But, I kind of wish you practiced that freedom with a bit more self-control and understanding that it's hard to make threads about even mildly sexual topics because people like you always lose sight of what the discussion is supposed to be about.Freedom is good, but it comes with personal responsibility.
>>98394380>you will discuss games.Nigger doesn't even know "you don't need other boards"newfag
>>98395022Could I get an answer though?>>98394827>>98394890Are these both you, or are there two people in this thread doing the same dumb thing where they try to combine all opposition into one person?
>>98394479Oh shit, is really the same tourist subhuman doing this. It has the same passive aggressive shiteater tone in all posts. He gets exposed and immediately runs to act like a victim. Now I understand why our grandparents used to give beatings to people who were disruptive to a friend group. This piece of shit would have been fixed if his father had given him one or two black eyes.
>>98395100>>98395126You need to learn how to write better already.
>>98395022>infamous faggot gets called out hard>people notice his singular gimmick and his common reaction>people point out that he's alone in his autistic crusade>immediately starts samefagging posts in a desperate attempt to look like he's not alone in his pathetic schizo crusadeReally is the piscinehomo, isn't he?
>>98395094Two separate anons, but this shit?>where they try to combine all opposition into one person?That's the schizo who is ass-blasted by the >What Game/System? posts. He thinks his nemesis is in this thread right now, trying to defend his reviled and infamous behavior that makes all of /tg/ suffer and it's literally just anons going>dude you're a huge faggot. Stop accusing people of trying to gatekeep and janny the board while you demand everyone listen to your specific, retarded interpretation of the board rules
>>98393933>How long do the players have time.the usual expected time frame is like a week, but alot of the times it's however long the GM is willing to give/takesHow long does the GM takedepends on the GM unfortunately... but in my experience they take like a weekend to output everything>for the output and how much does everyone write on average?in most of the games I've played prior, usually like a paragraph or a few bullet points, also usually you actions are kept secret from other players unless you want to tell them, so intrigue/social deception is a big part of these things. specifically in the game I'm currently in however...it's technically 30k, each player is a primarch in the great crusade, and basically each great company+individual primarch has a action and each action is one setence, so the more stuff you have the more you need to write to the GMIn this Game I'm playing a not!aztec space wizard primarch guy, that's obsessed with record keeping and ecology
>>98395153Look at the post above yours.Might as well say "Boring"I think we've got something here, as insane as it sounds.I swear if this fucker turns out to be Puckee, One-Line Thread maker and all of /tg/s problems are literally just one retard who won't fuck off, I'm going to start drinking
>>98394582What rule? >>98394585lol you too :)
>>98395165>Two separate anonsFucking hell.I'm having a really hard time figuring out which of you is worse.Honestly, probably the other guy, because your "what system" posts are the kind of retarded shitposts that /tg/'s always had to endure and would just be nice to not have, while the other guy is a psychotic cancer.
>>98394673Me, stupid nigger.
>>98394737You don't want to talk about games.
>>98395206You are not the king of /tg/. I have zero reason to give a single fuck about what you think is allowed to be posted on this board.
>>98394932So you're saying no one, not even /d/ is interested in your posts? Wow, incredible! THEN STOP FUCKING POSTING THEM.
>>98395100Exactly. Once you spot the pattern of his posts, it becomes fucking obvious. His desperate attempts to gasslight that it is totally just random anons that make the same disengenious passive aggressive posts that never lead to any actual genuine discourse are almost as amusing as his insistence that it just one anon itt arguing with him.
>>98395089Unfortunately, the purpose of the board continues to be what it is, even if it makes you mad.
You know, there's one convenient way to prove if it is or isn't all one person.From now on any time he posts "What system?" reply with ACKSIf he goes Chernobyl then it's 100% the same faggot. If not it's 2, separate faggots.
>>98395186Nope only you :)
>>98395220Yes I am, retard. On my way to your house now.
>>98395203>because your "what system" postsThere you go again. I doubt the guy who posts them is even in this thread, assuming it's not (You) trying to stir shit in hopes of making more people mad.
>>98395089>Nigger doesn't even know "you don't need other boards"EXACTLY!>>98395236>interested in your posts?I'm saying /d/viants bitch if anyone writes more than a sentence...
>>98395293The posts in that image are probably older than the retarded newfaggot backseat janny trying to police the board.
>>98395289Fine? They're not "your" posts, they're just posts you support and don't think are shitposts despite that's pretty clearly what they are.In this weird 'game' of 'board politics' where apparently everyone left who cares about the board is also actively trying to kill it in some fashion, I'm getting to the point where I'm looking at the guy who just wants to post about lubed elf feet or whatever and thinking he's the closest one to being sane.
>>98395321>I'm getting to the point where I'm looking at the guy who just wants to post about lubed elf feet or whatever and thinking he's the closest one to being sane."How do lubed elf feet work in your games?"
>>98395169Sounds cool and I love the picture, looks realy dope.I was asking because I'm doing something similar with friends in a fantasy setting. So I was curious. Timeframe is a week as well. Thank's for the answer btw and have fun with your not!aztec primarch. Gl on your crusade.
>>98395321Listen man, if you don't want to talk about traditional games and you support puckee threads, you're just going to have a bad time here, because there's enough people here to tell you to go kill yourself at all hours of the day, any day of the week. If you can't produce a real topic of discussion and pose it in a way that doesn't feel like it came from /tv/, people are going to respond poorly, because there's too much of that shit.Filter the words and go post in threads you like. Follow your own fucking advice. Don't pretend like asking for a system or context is some kind of vile, hateful act of sabotage for a board that is already abandoned by its oldfags and ignored by its mods, just because you can't accept that the majority of people on this board are fucking tired of how bad things have gotten and someone has decided that their only recourse is to be annoying in the laziest way possible, which seems to bait you every. single. time. Even though you seem to believe that it is actually just trolling, you continue to fall for it, because you're fucking retarded.
>>98395321You can't deny that /tg/ needs putting down like a sick dog.It'd be a mercy killing.
>>98395248>That spoilerGenius
>>98393211completely unrelated but vaguely related, what if imperial death cultists and those Ynnari fellows both realize they're worshipping death and all that and combine their faith power to really try to "kill chaos" and all that?
>>98393211I think the "Most Xenos Tolerant order" would dispatch the witch summarily, and without overmuch torture.
>>98395380I don't like puckee threads, but the answer to them is not spamming shitposts at them and having spergfights. >which seems to bait you every. single. timeNot the guy(s?) you argue with. If you're actually half correct and talking about the other guy you've been arguing with in this thread, you've been dealing with a genuinely psychotic shitstain and it's unfair to try and paint me in his colors just because we happen to both recognize a shitpost as a shitpost. I'm more than savvy enough to just ignore the "what system", "traditional games?", etc. shitposts, partly because at least in the case of the latter they tend to get deleted pretty frequently.>Don't pretend like asking for a system or context is some kind of vile, hateful act of sabotage It is pretty retarded though, particularly when there's people who play homebrew or are attempting to reach a larger audience than just one small slice of /tg/, especially on topics that broach multiple systems. I'm not sure you really understand how RPGs work if you think spamming "what system?" can be treated as anything other than a particularly retarded shitpost.Let's use that lubed elf feet as an example. You realize that most games don't describe how elves lube their feet, and even in the games that do (if they exist) the DM is free to say "I don't like that, I'm going to have my elves lube their feet in a different way?" Asking "what system" doesn't mean anything, and hardly would do anything to slow a bad actor down if he just decided to reply "5e" or "Gurps" to get that troll off his back, though that would probably just invite the designated 5e/Gurps hating autists. God, this board is so fucked.Do you understand this? Help me out here. Please don't tell me that I have to be on the side of a genuine pscyopath while also having to talking to someone who is deliberately being retarded. Talk about a shitty position.>>98395383Really getting a sense that it's fundamentally broken.
>>98395239And for what I can see in this thread the schizo/tourist is getting so ass-blasted that he is reporting people who are calling him out. Would be hilarious if other anons reading the thread start reporting him for spam every time he appears with his "what game?" after seeing this meltdown.
>>98395467>I don't like _, but the answer to them is not spamming shitposts at them and having spergfights.I wonder if this logic could be applied to anything else.
>>98395467There are multiple different people who have been arguing with the guy, the notion that only some same sanefagging "psychopath" is arguing with him is complete nonsense.
>>98395487Can't we just have fair and rational discussions in good faith?In any capacity?
>>98395519Oh no, I'm specifically talking about you. You outed yourself with your "That guy must be fishfag" line of bad faith bullshit. The fuck is wrong with you. You're on the side of being right in what's likely for you a rare circumstance, and instead of arguing in a way that makes sense, you do it in a way where even people who vaguely agree with you end up having to hate you and trying to approach the opposition as possibly being more level-headed and willing to see reason.
>>98395552Retard, I have no fucking clue who fishfag even is. I don't visit the threads to which that fuck is even relevant to and this thread is literally the first time I've even heard of him. I'm the anon who brought up that "what game" newfaggot outing himself as tourist by not recognizing obvious tyranid artwork. At no point have I tried to claim that the "what game" faggot is some other schizo that browses this site, because I have no reason to think that. I am merely noticing the pattern of his passive aggressive wannabe janny behavior.
>>98395576Okay, I think I vaguely understand the situation and you're not the psychopath I was talking about. Apologies on that front, because I was talking about that particular "everyone is fishfag" psychopath, and not trying to imply it was only me and that psychopath who disagreed with the "what system" guy.
>>98395604No worries m8.
>>98395465I could imagine a REALLY tolerant Sister order that doesn't necessarily shoot Eldar on sight and would maybe ally with them under some circumstances.
>>98395539History suggests no. Either way, if someone's being a retard there's no point in wasting time and energy trying to bury him in walls of text. Just call him a retard and move on.
>>98395519Majority of /tg/ doesn't give a single fuck about someone making a single post in a shitty thread. Which is why more often than not, people simply ignore the what system/what game/traditional games? posts. Makes it all the more weird that some sperg shows up with multiparagraph seething in any meta thread. You don't see that kind of thing when people just reply to the first post that shits in OP's cheerios with based, /thread, or fpbp
>>98395621And I can imagine them being targeted for expurgation by the Ordo Xenos as soon as a grainy pict-capture hits the Noosphere
>>98395733Imagination is a wondrous thing
>>98395733The Inquisition ignores anything that's inconvenient, god knows how many space marines have made alliances of convenience with Eldar and Tau.
>>98394827A frightening prospect.
>>98395987What are you, a Xanthite?I'm calling the nearest Monodominant cell on you.
>>98395248This Anon is the hero we need. Brilliant.
I think this thread, like every meta thread, is a good showcase of how miserable this place has become
>>98396663I like you anon, do you need a hug?
>>98386734>WedHi oldfag. I am newfag. I joined here 2 years back, mostly to read shitpost threads and because I dont know were else to go to discuss shit like DnD and warhammer 40k.I do play games but not as much as I want. Until recently, I was a college student swarmed with exams with bad time managent so I couldnt join any games now I am a graduate and unemployed so I am planning to change that soon.If you ask my opinion, this place is pretty shit and full of really shit threads and shit people with the only actually good threads being the generals for specific systems with actual players or the threads for stuff like free pdfs. The only new creative stuff thats done with any passion appear to be threads for lewd games, A.I. content and the occasional slow drawfag and worldbuilding thread. Most of the threads on this board feel like they were made by people desperate to find something to talk about using vagueky related subjects, especially about dilemmas regarding worldbuilding that could be solved by telling the lonely fuckwads that it is entirely up to the DM what should be part of the world and the game.This place is very retarded but compared to how the other boards feel it at least sometimes feels genuine, though not to the degree you described old /tg/ used to be, whatever the fuck that means. Personally I think it started around the time people started using greentext screenshots from 4chan to monetize their youtube videos and now there are inumerable amount of shitheads trying to make money off of 4chan posts due in part to the rest of the internet getting rugburned cocks from circlekering to the same tired upbootable content and this is one of the few places that fosters some original content for the sake of making stuff anymore.

>>98396993Hey anon, I'm also a newfag though I've been here since late 2020. Ironically I was brought here by stuff like neckbeardia's videos about greentexts though I recall looking at 4plebs and 1d4chan a lot before going on /tg/. I mainly came so I could read the cryptekanon stuff from the source, only for the guy to be deported to /qst/(how I was introduced to /qst/ and why I still read there nowadays) because a lot of anons were doing their own supplemental greentexts in the threads. Someone reported him. Anyway, even 5 years ago you could see anons be reminiscing about old /tg/ and how the board had fallen, yet despite that back then the board was somehow less shit than today, we still had fun threads and in 2022 we had the GURPS fight club threads that were pretty fun. I took a break from this place once I got fully on /qst/ but when I came back to look at it I just found it unrecognizable and even sadder than back then.If you look at 4stats, you see that the decline REALLY starts in mid 2021 iirc. The userbase just keeps going down from that moment onward
>>98397094>you see that the decline REALLY starts in mid 2021 iircThat sound about right to me
>>98396993>The only new creative stuff thats done with any passion appear to be threads for lewd gamesThe Muse, her name be Horni!
>>98397094>>98397114Decline started in 2008 with Project Chanology, and worsed exponentially with each additional event (ponies, gamergate, fappening, election, etc etc etc) so the only consistent thing is that this place has always been getting worse and any time you joined in the past will always be better than what it is now.
>>98397305ponies made the site better though
>>98397325It's less about the pony show specifically and more about the way it attracted the most mentally ill redditors our tax dollars could fund after years of fed manipulation onto the site where they believed they were amongst loving and tolerant company.
>>98397561Funny way to describe Lee
>>98397590I have no idea who that is, but the fact that you knew someone immediately just proves the point, huh?
>>98395673It's bizarre that a two words post is apparently an apocalyptic blow against any blossoming worldbuilding thread, when the thread OPs being similar, low effort posts apparently doesn't matter.
>>98397620kek, no
>>98395383Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. And by that I mean I'll see you tomorrow.
>>98395249Still here friend. How you doing? :)
>>98395293anyone have source for 2nd pic in the screenshot there?
>>98389700Delusional.>producers have a lot of money riding on the line>therefore it makes sense to advertise the shit out of it>the "for your consideration"-Oscar-ad-campaigns that have been a thing for decades are somehow a cOoMsPiRaCy all of a sudden
>Producers have the motivation and the means, they absolutely do it in other areas>But no-no, they'd never back rub journalists into giving them nice scores>...look, please ignore that they've been caught doing that repeatedly across all types of media in the past, it's not happening this time even if the movie is getting a perfect score across the board despite being obvious dogshitJournalist, get ye gone, you are a creature without brain or integrity.
>>98398361I mean how many are even flesh and blood humans anymore, weren't they one of the first jobs AI started replacing?
>>98398365If you're implying that an AI can't be told to make up a nice, bullshit review when told "Write a 10/10 review for this movie so I can give it a 10/10" then yeah, you're not a journo.You're just insane.
>>98397977lmao, you tourists are a riotsomeone has the audacity to say>hey, this board has a shit attitude and these guys posting "traditional games?" like some kind of self-deputized narcissist crossing guard with sticks up their asses is making it worse because not only does it not contribute anything, its boring and /tg/ was much better when it wasn't like this>OH SO YOU SUPPORT PUCKEE THREADS HAHAAHAA HAHAHA GUYS GET A LOAD OF PUCKEEFAGS IN THIS THREAD, HAHA YOU CANT FOOL ME I KNOW YOU MUST BE BIMPSCHIZO HES MAD BECAUSE HE MADE A THREAD ONCE AND I SAID "traditional games?" AND THEN HE GOT MAD AND THEN IN THE GENERAL THREAD HEit's fucking hilarious that you'd expect anyone to buy this disingenuous cockgargling nonsense, and you can piss your pants about muh engagement bait threads all you likethe fact is none of you have anything worth making a thread about anyways, so why not stop being so assmad all the time that someone posted outside the /weeweepeepee/ general and have some fun every once and a while if your fragile immune system could handle the excitement without an epileptic fit
>>98398458just ignore the two word post, it can't hurt you
>>98389776I've told you guys over and over he's Richard Petty and has been doing this shit for over a decade. He got ultra mad over being proven wrong over something in Pathfinder in like 2010 and has made it his crusade to fuck up the board ever since.
>>98398683>Richard PettyI've never heard the name. Let's hear the story.
>>98398685He got the name because you would immediately know he was posting because he would spam the word petty 6 times or more a post and was a huge dickhead. That's the story.
>>98398458>NUH UHYou never get tired of humiliating yourself huh?
>>98398329When a large group of people decide or are told in private to push a singular narrative, either through implicit or explicit threat that going against the narrative will have severe consequences for their careers, that is definitionally a conspiracy, even if the goal is quite simply to promote a game or movie.
>>98398458>this board has a shit attitude and these guys . . . is making it worseThe only thing those posts have done is cause you to out yourself, repeatedly, as an insane wanna-be janny. No thread has been actually harmed by those posts, but the repeated insistence that they are doing SOMETHING to /tg/ and ruining this place, is patently ridiculous.The reason people keep prodding you to make a real argument against them, instead of leaping to the paranoid delusion that whatgamefag is in this thread trying to defend his holy crusade against you, is because talking about traditional games on /tg/ should obviously include discussion of actual fucking games.
>>98393101>quarfag shilling againThat thread was just you and one other guy, with one or both of you samefagging a bit, but unlike half the fucking catalog it was on topic so I wish you well, quaranon. I'd rather see 10 quar generals than one more goddamn puckee or thinly disguised fetish thread.>>98394423Fuck you, fuck your whattaboutism, and fuck your bullshit analogy. That's not what happens. This is what happens.>you're at a car club with others, talking cars>guy shows up and starts talking about bestiality>kid shows up and starts calling everyone niggers and faggots>indian shows up and wants to talk about big tits>autist shows up and wants to talk about trains>you explain to them that this is a car club and we talk about cars here>you explain to them that there are places where they talk about bestiality, call people niggers and faggots, talk about big tits, and talk about trains, but we talk about cars here>they stay and keep doing it, and get offended when we tell them to stopThis is not difficult to understand, and we're not being unreasonable. This is a car club. We talk cars here. Take your fetishes and redditors and indians and train autists and fuck off back to wherever the fuck you cretins came from. Other boards have been created specifically for your use, and it's not our fault that your interests are so deeply unpopular that those boards are even more dead than /tg. If you've made up your mind that you're going to stay and keep shitting up this board, don't complain that we treat you badly and fuck your threads up. You're not supposed to be here and we will remind you of this fact every chance that we get.>>98394554"what game" is equivalent to what we do on /k/ with "post hand and gun." It's a way for someone with legitimate interests in the board that they're on to signal that we don't think that you're one of us. If you were one of us, you would simply answer. When you don't, that's also an answer.
>"What game" faggot impotently seething in a thread on page 10 after having been called out as the newfag he isLol
>>98395293Yes, I heard you the first time. Like you, your posts are not wanted. SO STOP POSTING THEM.
>>98395300And they're still in the wrong, retard.
>>98395467That is the answer, actually.
>>98399269>definitionallyNo, retard-sama. People *conspiring* makes a conspiracy.>threatLOOOL
>>98395467right, so you agree that since lubed elf feet aren't relevant to a game, they're off topic for the board, and thus in violation of the rules. glad you finally get it.
>>98395539No, faggot
>>98398002kek, yes.
>>98398458Who are you quoting?
>>98399754yeah, and they were conspiring. like I said. dumbfuck LOL
>>98398361>can't even respond correctly>doesn't know the difference between bribery and conspiracyKys, brainlet.
>>98399738No.>>98399560>>98399743>>98399762>Nazimod jrs wanting to change board culture
>>98399791Threatening isn't conspiring, dingus.
>>98399743kys
>>98399754>when people conspire, it is a conspiracy>IT'S NOT A CONSPIRACY UNLESS THEY CONSPIREFucking retard.
>>98399823Puckee is not board culture. Nogames posting is not board culture. Vague "what did he mean by this?" posts are not board culture. Riffing on non-specific, non-existent fantasy tropes is not board culture.
>>98399823>muh nazimod accusation>lust provoking image>a tale as old as time itselfThat's a nice, high IQ rebuttal, but allow me to continue. Shitposting and "elf slave wat do" is fun and all, but that's not what makes an online hobby community healthy. Instead, it's something that a healthy online community can tolerate, but only to a point. Once the community is primarily shitposting, its original intent has been lost, along with its culture. This is why online communities are typically subdivided, to keep the signal to noise ratio appropriate in each category. This is also why some degree of moderation is necessary, even in a lightly moderated format such as 4chan. If it's undermoderated, everything inevitably becomes spam and shitposting. If that's your thing, that's fine. There are places for that, but this place is for games.People blame 2016 for /tg/'s decline but it began with the quest bullshit. The quest era drove away a lot of talented and creative people. 2016 brought in the normies in waves, which kept those refugees from returning. Inviting the third world onto the internet moved things further along, and now it appears that bots will complete the enshittification of 4chan, and likely the rest of the internet. And passive dickheads like you stood by and watched it happen, and now you're crying that half the catalog is generals. Guess what? That's what you get when you don't gatekeep and don't moderate. This is the forum you wanted, so shut the fuck up and enjoy it. Just stay out of the generals, as there are still a few corners of /tg/ where people that play games want to discuss them.>you know, the thing /tg/ was made for
>>98400306>The quest era drove away a lot of talented and creative peopleYou mean when they were pushed out to /qst/ and all the posters left /tg/ of course
>>98392720>drown cpPlease, go back. I miss the time when everyone associated this website with lolis, they really do filter the normscum.
>>98400418Few people on /qst/ had anything to do with the golden era of quests. All the actual people who made /tg/'s most popular quests left by around 2016 or had wrapped and quit before /qst/ was added AFTER moot sold this place.
>>98400217>Vague "what did he mean by this?" posts are not board culture.What did he mean by this...?
>>98400418>questposter STILL seething and overestimating the importance of quests to /tg/Holy FUCK get over yourself already
>>98400843>SEETHINGtake your own advice, retard
>>98400306>>98400530So which is it?>Quest caused /tg/ downfall in 2016>All the good content creators left long before 2016, so didn't have anything to do with the Quest flood in the first placeYou all are so focused on how [thing you don't like] was the poison that killed /tg/, I honestly wonder what parts you even liked in the first place!
>>98401016>Quest caused /tg/ downfall in 2016No one said this. Whole site started declining in quality faster after the 2016 election though.>All the good content creators left long before 2016, so didn't have anything to do with the Quest flood in the first placeYou're misinterpretting what's being said, so I'll explain it more clearly: Moving quests to /qst/ after they were already dead and the site was already gutted of oldfags (2014 8-site exodus), and after the other questfags either quit, finished, or exodus'd with everyone else, did not harm /tg/ because /tg/ was already fucked years earlier, as was the whole site. Subsequent events after 2016 proceeded to pound the hollowed out corpse of this site into dust.
>>98401158People speak of oldfag exodus etc but where the fuck did they supposedly go? There are no good sites for anonymous discussion outside of 4chan. Did they disappear in private irc chats and later discord channels and whatever? Because I can't see any legitimate oldfag returning to some gay ass fucking forums and whatever.
>>98401170Also, I ask this because I am an oldfag, and I sure as shit didn't go anywhere because there is no other place to go to that's any good, at least not that I know of. Did fellow oldfags leave and forget to give a note where the fuck they went?
>>98401170(4x2)chan, which became (4x2)kun, whose name is still censored by 4chan, and drove off everyone who wasn't a Qboomer
>>98401221Wasn't that site driven to the ground by that crippled fuck and the dude who runs Kiwi Farms?Is it even alive these days?
>>98401230Yes, but that happened years later. It was actually quite lively for about 4 or so years until drama with cripplekike and boomer rapist (+ his mutt son) boiled over and nearly killed the site. They tried to bring it back, but their sole target audience was Q Anon boomers who were making tens of thousands of posts per hour just repeating their retarded catchphrases at each other. There's now a webring of "altchans" but most of them are very slow.
>>98401170>>98401175More likely is life stuff got in the way of /tg/ stuff rather then them finding a better site.
>>98386734I've been here all along and I can hardly recognize this place either.
>>98401335Don't remind me of what a failure I am at life for still having so much free time to browse this shithole.
>>98392720>drawn CPI understand deleting it for safety's sake (Warhammer/GW being british and all), but that's not what it is. Not by a long mile.
