We're not campaigning for the current RPG forum, just the one that's currently under construction for DG3. The RPG no longer consist of simple posts, but of complex storylines in which all can get deeply interested.

Vote YES (and hide the postcount while we're at it!)

Because a large portion of it is just silliness.

I see hundreds of posts with things like "I want to buy a musket" and "OK here is your change". It might be a fun thing, but it looks like a chat room to me sometimes. Some posts may be lengthy and whatnot but the vast majority are not.

Go to almost ANY other forum, and you will find even more pointless threads and posts. I can link you to a few in C&C (the main place I go) if you'd like. :)

According to Shaitan, the original setup of the DemoGame RPG encouraged short, simple posts -- a situation very similar to the chess game -- something which has now changed. Even if that had not changed, people should not be penalized for posting in a manner which is appropriate for the forum in which they are posting.

Excellent wording there. I think this sums up the argument for allowing Demogame posts to count. So far the poll lists it as 21-8 in favor (counting my yes vote).

Thank you Thunderfall, for hearing our voices and making it happen. :)

I certainly hope that it works.... Remember the old addage "Don't ask for it, or you might get it"? I certainly hope that this doesn't have the effect of creating an outlet for thinly disguised spammers.

Reason being that it may not be much fun anymore.

Shaitan has already said that it has matured (which I interpret, rightly or wrongly as having beomce more interesting / fun) since the postcount was eradicated.

Before, you got people participating simply for the enjoyment. Now they have another reason.
 
A little late, but I agree RPG posts count as much as posts made on any other forum.

Its still sitting at about 6K at the moment. I don't think he's restoring post count for previous posts, only for new ones made there.

Based on:

it would appear that he is only talking about the new RPG forum, and not the old forum.

Thank you Thunderfall.
 
What about, "I'm not sure"?

I don't venture out beyond GD, Strategy & Tips, and gotm, so I can't decide.

XIII, does the username signify the third time you have changed your username?

Thanks TF! :D

Half way there. What about DG2 RPG?

Actually.... I see this as a great victory... I could careless about the other RPG forum... Just as long as the new one counts, but.... If there are people who wish's to try to get DG2's RPG to count also... I'll stand behind them.
