Maria Caliban Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 What an odd image. He's working for the European Union, but he looks vaguely Asian. He's wearing a combat helmet when it's obviously performing a desk job. Most interestingly, he's wearing a monocle. Why is that? That actually strikes me as more British than anything.

sorophx Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 and what's that thing on his left shoulder? I remember seeing it on the Codex as a smiley Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland. And having been educated solely by mkreku in this respect I am convinced that Finland essentially IS the wh40k universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurlshort Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 General discussion is a bit offensive, true. But the vast majority of racists and weirdos are mostly being offensive for the sake of it. Very few people actually are real nazis or whatever else you think they are. I thought the rest of what you wrote was great and insightful, but I call bullocks on this. "I'm not really a racist, I just play one on the internet" is a pretty sad explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral jimbob Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 (edited) Yeah, General Discussion's pretty much Stormfront lite. No idea why, or why so many people sign up to an RPG website to post three times in RPG Discussion then spend the next four years in GD hysterically wailing about the gay agenda. The admins attempted to crack down on it at one point (see the old "dear Nazi ****s" thread), but they've all pretty much given up. The moderators tend to do a good job of preventing it from bleeding into the other sections, the odd "how do black people play RPGs when they can't read?" thread gets expunged quickly enough. It's best just to ignore it. Edited July 24, 2011 by Admiral jimbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maria Caliban Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Almost every bigoted person I've met has told me they're not racist/homophobic/sexist/whatever at some point. My grandmother used to go on about how the Jews killed Jesus, were destined to burn in hell, and were manipulating the US economy for (nefarious) Jewish reasons. When I pointed out that she sounded awfully anti-Semitic? Noooo, not her. She loved all of God's children. Halleluiah and pass the cornbread. "When is this out.

Volourn Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 What's the connection you trying to make, Mariah, that everybody whoc alims to be non bigoted is actually bigoted so the easiest way to prove one's not a big is to claim they are a bigot? Does. not. compute. It's really a childish way to look at things. ie. 'you smelled it you don't it' or 'you deny it therefore it must be true' or 'why protest too much'.

TheHarlequin Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Simply put, the codex is long past having any kind of significant relevancy to the total ignorance of that fact of most of the posters there. When the admin (and I use that term loosely my dealings with him he was a self important jack arse) tosses in the towel as he did it pretty much speaks volumes of the site. Another year or two and the place will be nothing but trolls and people living in the past talking about being 'old school' hating any game made after 2000... oh the racist, neonazi and spam posts. World of Darkness News http://www.wodnews.net --- "I cannot profess to be a theologian; but it seems to me that Christians who believe in a super human Satan have got themselves into a logical impasse with regard to their own religion. For either God can not prevent the mischief of Satan, in which case he is not omnipotent; or else He could do so if he wished, but will not, in which case He is not benevolent. Fortunately, being a pagan witch, I am not called upon to solve this problem." - Doreen Valiente Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaesun Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Simply put, the codex is long past having any kind of significant relevancy to the total ignorance of that fact of most of the posters there. Who are these "most of the posters" having total ignorance? Many of our regular posters love and enjoy cRPG games and mechanics and discuss them in great detail. When the admin (and I use that term loosely my dealings with him he was a self important jack arse) tosses in the towel as he did it pretty much speaks volumes of the site. VD left for his own reasons, and then DarkUnderlord took the site over. VD has no Admin capacity on the site now. Another year or two and the place will be nothing but trolls and people living in the past talking about being 'old school' hating any game made after 2000... Well if you continue to love the current crop of craptasitc "Yet another action game with little or no cRPG mechanics labeled as a RPG #64573" that Publishers continue to churn out, I guess enjoy your game. The Codex only wishes Publishers would take a look at some of the classic cRPG mechanics and allow a Developer to make a game with them. Similar to what Obsidian did with Fallout: New Vegas.... oh the racist, neonazi and spam posts. As one of the sites forum moderators, I'm not sure what you are implying with this statement. Do we on occasion get "racist, neonazi and spam" posts? Certainly. With our Open Registration policy, that's always bound to happen, though most of that behavior usually stays within the spam forum.
