Of course, I wasn't trying to be completely serious in this thread, but if you want a rebuttal, here's one off the top of my head:

Argumentum ad populum ("appeal to belief", "appeal to the majority", "appeal to the people"): where a proposition is claimed to be true solely because many people believe it to be true. It's a logical fallacy.

IOW, just because the majority thinks that a position is right, or perhaps simply puts up with something, doesn't necessarily make that position correct. It doesn't mean that my position is absolutely correct, but there are better arguments to be made against it. I think Lemur_Lad made a pretty convincing argument against certain topics in the Player Questions thread - I tried writing a rebuttal but it sounded foolish.

If you feel so strongly about it, report the offending threads to the mods and let them decide if it's worth the trouble of moving them. Sorry man, but otherwise it's just you deciding what goes where according to your own standards, and that's not particularly compelling. Sections of the forums will occasionally overlap, that's all there is to it.

I agree with Damz though, the General area has been more interesting in the past few days than it has been in weeks. Thank you, Loyalists and Resistance, for providing some entertainment, at least until you all see where the true freedom can be found.

I assume you are referring to "under the watchful gaze of your friend, the computer" as the source of true freedom, correct?

Wait... when did I ever say in this thread that I did feel strongly about this? Haven't I said throughout this thread that I was being half serious, that I was humored, etc.?

Happy Halloween, indeed Where'd all the starch come from? Perhaps my top hat is throwing everyone off?

Oh crap, I forgot the M&M's in my vest pocket!

Edit: I was kinda serious about my P_P remark, admittedly. And I pointed out a common logical fallacy. Meh, guess I should have stuck to the original premise. Shame on me

I humbly appologise. While reading the thread i did think you was being completely serious and did miss the indiciation of humour. So in that regard i appologise for [in a way] trying to cause a problem.

Now . . . . back to the threads!

Well, I'm a sucker for debate, so I am equally to blame Like I said, half-serious, so half serious, half not. To be specific, I enjoy reading other people's perspectives, but not trying to start a flame war. So feel free to debate, just don't get wrapped around the axle I'm open to other perspectives.

You know, I had this same thought after reading some of the replies. Sure, GR is quite a few months out there, but since we've already started numerous threads on the topic, a new board would be the best solution

The General Discussions forum is for general discussions. Not difficult to understand, and it has contained "what if they did this" kind of discussions since day 1, so nothing's changed lately.

I think threads that are clearly in the wrong forum would be moved by the mods. But stating that you're a Praetorian Loyalist is not clearly roleplay. Maybe you can interpret it that way, or you can interpret it as just harmless fun.

You ever been late to work, or a party or something, some sort of gathering, and everyone's giggling? You ask what's up, they just say "Oh man, you had to be there!" and fall out laughing. "O...kay" you think. And the rest of the day, somebody will just randomly say, like, "Googity googity!" in a nasal tone and then draw an X shape in the air, and everyone dies laughing again? And you ask again, and they say "You just had to be there!" Ever run into something like that?

No? Oh. Well. Never mind then. What's special about that avatar?

What's special is that I like the avatar and focusing on it is a heckuva lot better than taking this thread more seriously than Obsidius intended (a sin I, myself, committed).

Also... Hot dang.

Hot hot top-hat porn is illegal in several states, I'd like you to know. Having two pairs of glasses, illegal in even more. Sepia tones are forbidden everywhere.

I suggest you hand over all potentially-offending material for investigation. Especially movies.

The OP is Loyalist scum! Well, that's my theory. :P

tl/dr

The examples of threads listed as better candidates for the Player Questions boards have a proper place in "For Fun!" My understanding is there is a difference between questions soliciting assistance and those generating speculative conversation.

As far as the matter of Loyalist/Seperatist/Anarchist declarations in Generalized sections, the threads I've seen hold casual charm unlike Ex Libris' Star Strider Registry.

Sorry, that avatar has no appeal for me. Except for the hat! I like that hat!

Wait, what is this thread doing in this section of the forums? Clearly it states that this section is for City of Heroes and City of Villains game-related discussions ONLY, not discussions about the postings on the forums. Just because your friends post things in the wrong section of the forums you think you can to? If they jumped off a cliff would you follow?

I will, however, let it slide if you pass the M&M's and tell me where you got that hat.

I'm still wondering what exactly "GR hubris" is.
