People of the Bay 12 Games Forum Finally Section

At last, the polls have closed, and all the votes from people who could be bothered to participate have been counted.  But before I claim my rightful and due victory, let us recognize the worthy competition.

Inaluct, our great Prime Minister, and Minister of Ministries, proved his worth and why he remains as chief legislator.  Indeed, were it not for the self-proclaimed office he already possessed, who can say he would have captured the voters' attention at all?

Yanlin, that hookertroll with a heart of gold, showed us all that it's not about the lulz, it's about the laughs.

Scientific Sean Mirrsen, enigmatic PTTG??, impassible Tormy, that big cheese Woose1, and my counterpart Duke 2.0.  Where would our community be without such pillars?  Not quite as terrible a place as without me obviously, but it certainly wouldn't be all roses.

And all those other guys who got some token support or a name drop.  And of course, the simian Comptroller himself, Splendiferous, who didn't make it onto his own ballot.

But my speech isn't about them.  My speech is about me.  Because I think I'm pretty awesome, and 19.4% of 67 probably active people out of 7429 accounts agree with me.  And in a democracy, that voting plurality is all I need.  Clearly, I have been given a mandate, a mandate for change, chins, chances, chanting, and charges.  Yes, wild, accusing charges of trolling, unfunnyness, and illogicality, to be leveled all and sundry whenever I enter a minor argument.

I thank you, voting populace of the Finally section, for choosing me out of all the e-people who spend more time posting than playing Dwarf Fortress.  Who know that what matters is not the relevance of posts, but the quality of humor and heat of flaming within them.  Who know that memes are the true currency of e-cred, but that proper argumentative dialectic still has meaning in the wild lands of the Internet.

I promise you, as your newly crowned royalty, a glorious future, full of grammar, stubble, and both promises and mandates as wondrous as they are unfulfillable.

Good night, and may Toady One continue to bless the Forum.

I'm glad there is so much sentimental value held in what is essentially 4chan.
Save what you can, before it's too late!

[Aqizzar]

Yes, Lord knows we have to save the quote pyramids before they vanish in a puff of smoke.

[Cthulhu]

Not all of 4chan is terrible.  /tg/ is okay, and /x/ is okay if you can get over the people who believe everything anyone says and get mad if you're even kind of skeptical.

[ToonyMan]

No preservation.  I'll bite your shin.

[Armok]

Please? The VN existed long before what we now think of as the VN happened, and some of the alod stuff realy does have a great personal value to me. Of the top of the head I can point to the exanges betwen me and fenrir, but there are plenty of other things.
Please, I know other peaple might not feel as strongly for it as I do but I am unable to do anything abaut it, if the VN is destroyed it's the eivelehnt of seeing you childhood toys burned, they might have been usless crap but it's still a horible thing!

/tg/  is remarkably hostile compared to the rest of the internet. It's only tame compared to, say, /b/.

I don't want to sound like a jackass (though I know I'm going to), but if whatever junk is in the bottom of VN is somehow that important to you, but even you can't be bothered to archive something, then what makes you think anyone else is going to do it for you?

If there was some glorious thread of all encompassing timeless humor worth the effort to find again, don't you think people would be linking to it or something anyway?  Let me put this way - when I'm out with my friends, we tell a lot of great jokes and have hilarious conversations.  I don't carry a tape recorder to keep an archive of them, because when you're not there in the first place, it doesn't mean anything later.

Yes, your precious old board full of inanity and roleplaying is about to disappear.  Let it go, if it meant that much to you, you'd have already a way to save it regardless of deletion.

Ironically you took a good part in the nonsense.

Ah well...

I pretty much have about 1/33 of the forum backed up.

I was, in fact, referring to the nerdwanking, yes, so maybe my perspective is off.

Well, it is the source of some fairly funny memes.

Title: OOC: Is the "Various Nonsense Indepedence Game" an ARG?
Post by: Servant Corps on March 16, 2009, 04:21:40 PM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An ARG is an alternate reality game (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate_reality_game). I am making a semi-ARG here (http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=32218.0). But that is not the point why I posted. ARGs have TINAG, which is basically the idea of "This is Not a Game", you do not state that this is a game.

There is a debate over at one of the ARG forums over the nature and meaning of ARGs (http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=27581). It made me think of the VN Indepedence Game, and made me wonder if this game is in fact an ARG. One of the admins pointed me to a definition of ARG (http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=363402#363402) that points to VN being an ARG.

What I want to know is this. Do you consider this Indepedence Game to be an ARG? Or do you consider it as something different?

I don't think this is a game. It's a forum. It has an alternate reality. It supports a strange breed of roleplay. It OH NOES AQIZZAR.

It's only semi-alternate reality, because it's based heavily on the existence of the forum itself, which actually exists. I think? It's a bit gray, really.

I think Aqizzar sums it up the best.

One Various Nonsense Battleship is alright, as long as it moves away.

But having two Various Nonsense Battleships cluttering the Forums Games and Roleplaying Forum is not good at all. I don't like clutter. It looks ugly.

So I hereby declare a Crime Squad in existance. If I get enough people, I'll move this thread over to the Various Nonsense forum and thereby conduct some Political Activism to demand for the rights of the Forum Games and Roleplaying Forum.

No more annoying topics. No more clutter. I'm not asking for much. Who's with me?

Not all of 4chan is terrible.  /tg/ is okay, and /x/ is okay if you can get over the people who believe everything anyone says and get mad if you're even kind of skeptical.

I have to tell you that /c/ is okay...

And.. /jp/ is what /tg/ is to otaku.

[Okenido]

/jp/ is the worst.

[Rooster]

*sighs*

I managed to save the epic post by Viaolis.
Yes. The Charter. Its a great piece of history. The declaration of independence started the end of VN
Then as a finisher we have yuri, anti-yuri, the war between the holy chin and ministry. I might print it and tape it to a wall or something. That post was pure epicness.

The rest is pure trash
