I'd like to be serious just for a moment, maybe it is time to begin again, and draw up a fresh start for NESing as a whole here on CFC. We've always been given incredible amounts of leeway here with what we've been allowed to do, say, and write in our NESes, and I've never once been disturbed in any of the NESes I've done. I look at the threads and see a bunch of "going to move my NES" posts, and become a bit saddened by them. What makes me sadder is the thought that all of our history could be lost should the community die, and worse, if it failed to die here, instead dying piece by piece on god knows what forums. Personally I think we should do what we should have been doing from the beginning: Moderating and Playing in NESes. That's all that should take place in these forums, nothing else. I've very little interest in playing political games that are outside an NES, and so if it comes down to it, I'll be keeping an NES open here by myself if I must, and I have no intention of abandoning the home of NESing in search of a Promised Land. Call that "Vichy" if you'd like, but I will do whatever it takes to keep the fire burning. /endserious
finally, eq gets his time in the sun. its 2003 all over again viva la eq
Everyone here is of course welcome to join us at Imperium Offtopicum, where we play similar games to yours, and we aren't moving.
It happened several times, and in previous ones I was on the side of moving, to have our own home where NESing is the central idea. But this time, this time the moving isn't to put NESing in the front, it isn't even for the improvement of NESing.I understand EQ/Erez's position. If this happened a year ago I would be devastated. But now I think its the best thing. Change happens!!
Posting to confirm the annexation of NES and the reformation of the remaining NEses into Vichy NES for the purposes of giving IOT more lebensraum. All NES GMs must use at least five spreadsheets to track stats and NESers must solve complex quadratic equations to send in orders. All RP must be less than one paragraph and may not contain any words with more than five letters. All dissidents who do not comply with these rules will be executed. EQ, I assume you will want to be High Marshal yes? Your G*rman officer's uniform will arrive by mail tomorrow.
Gentlemen, it is a brave new world. HEIL SONEREAL!
