Turf War

[eastsidebagel]

If the different boards on CFC were gangs, what would they be like and which one would you like to join?
(It's gonna be the last new thread of mine for this day, I promise!)

 

[The Fishman]

Site feedback?

 

[plarq]

Dice Wars ÿ

 

[Crime Doesn't Pay]

Sid Meier's Pirates! ?

Well, the fiftychatters would obviously be one faction, at least the dedicated followers (not just the hang-outs). The mods would probably stick together. And then all the teenagers. And then the conservative people, the European liberals, the Euro-fascists, and then everybody else on the board. The Nazis/racists and the Socratic people would be killed in the anarchy by whoever saw them first.

... And then the conservative people...

All three of us !

But I think he means like all of OT is a gang, forum games is a gang, Civ4 is a gang etc. Meaning that the different subforums are gangs, not factions of OT. I probably hang out most in OT so I'd be in this gang I guess.

 

[Bigfoot3814]

Hey there's more than 3 of us. There's me and you, and VRWC, Mobboss and Ecofarm, Labtec now, and some others too I can't think of right now. Plus you got bigdog on your side with the whole abortion thing.

Oh and another gang... the marijuana smokers will be forever solid.

Exactly. You have to know that I got this idea by browsing on ***** where they asked the same question.
I imagine the "OT gang" as a liberal, weed-smoking bunch of college students BTW, whereas the NES forums are cocaine-snorting, chain-rattling nihilists. I don't know why I'm thinking so...

FFH forum, all the way.

FFH forum, all the way.

OT, dude! That's were all the real players hang out, bro!

 

[salty mud]

Humour and Jokes forum. While everyone was fighting and killing each other, we'd be having a good old laugh.

Let's consider the question this thread raises as an experiment on how we picture ourselves inside a defined group in a completely virtual environment like those forums are.

 

[BirraImperial]

I don't think OT would hang out as one gang. There are too many discerning opinions (neocons, liberals, commies, etc.) around.

 

[Brighteye]

We're all one big family.

 

[Aramazd]

Computer Talk! Then we'll work on assimilating the rest of the board.

***** is seriously the only website I've ever visited that genuinely creeped me out... anon ruins people's lives. If it was CFC vs *****, I'd head for the hills.

But to answer the OP question, I would join the Humor & Jokes forum.

Just remember:
Anonymous never forgives...
Anonymous never forgets...
Anonymous never regrets...

And besides this, ***** is a very good alternative when the CFC forums are down.

 

[Catharsis]

I'd throw my lot in with Apolyton, and pick your bones clean once you'd all finished fighting.

 

[Dachs]

I would be in the World History gang but there really aren't enough people in it.

And then all the teenagers.

What did you mean by that?

I don't know why you're thinking of that either. More like perpetual thirteen year olds.

 

[Bigfoot3814]

What did you mean by that?

Me, salty mud, D'Artagnan, possibly mythmonster, choxorn... mostly the teenagers from random rants and raves, though they may fall into other categories separately.
