Nope. Not enough interest.

[Remuthra]

Personally, I tend to take all the interested as players from the beginning.

[Squeegy]

It wasn't incredibly fast, there's been buildup for this banning for months.

I meant from the ban to the fallout. It hasn't even been a day and we're invading other forums and getting petitions locked.

O_o what?

Apparently somebody started some council thing in the General Discussion forum, which naturally prompted a backlash from the General Discussion crowd.

[GiglameshDespair]

I would do that, but updates then get far too large and time-consuming.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

That is what I did. Got ten interested, GWG among them, and I started the game with 10 players.

[Funk]

Well he was interesting, and most of the time a nice guy but he did stir up things and embrace arguments.

[IronyOwl]

seemingly no self control

This is kind of the heart of it. There is or at least can be a difference between someone who's just sort of an unrepentant douche and someone who seems to have genuine control/communication issues.

Oh that. Yeah I was there. I thought you literally meant another forum.

Yeah, me too. I was thinking, like, Giant in the Playground or Cartographer's Guild.

Seems the latter. He has asbergers syndrome, which affects communication, understanding and so forth. Actually, it also explains his nitpicking nature aswell. It is hard to let it go if you have AS. Not in any way suggesting the ban was wrong, mind you.
Nice enough guy, but he definitely shoulda seen the signs and stopped. Oh well.

I don't consider the other boards separate entities, personally.

[Squeegy]

Well, the whole thing is the Bay 12 Games forums. Each board is a forum, and the boards within them are subforums, etc. It's kind of a confusing terminology.

Damn right.
Just cause he has Asperger's doesn't mean he should get special treatment. I have it, ADHD, Depression, and Anxiety, but haven't been banned.

I agree. I have Asperger's Syndrome as well and the signs of the approaching permanent were incredibly blatant. I know it can be hard tearing yourself away from an argument and knowing when you aren't wanted in a conversation, but his ignorance seems more intentional then anything.

Damnit. Anyone wanna learn to play GURPS? I'm running a simple introductory campaign in classic dungeon crawling style.
