Why do you spend so much free time checking the forums?

There are like 10 or so other the people on here that reply to nearly every forum post and are active here daily. You know exactly who you are, yes I’m talking to you. Haii!

Why?

When work is slow, i genuinely have nothing better to do.
healthier than twitter and reddit for sure at least.

It is not like i just stare at the forum and reload every 5 minutes, i just keep it open in the background.

Thats kinda where I am.
Whenever i get 5 mins and go on my phone, checking this is wayyyy healthier than twitter or reddit.

How is the species design doc going?

Depends on the thread,
Ban appeals I read cause they can be really amusing at times or other times really shocking so thats just entertainment, sometimes I use reactions to show my feelings on the matter as well.

I like to contribute to discussions to help improve the game as I enjoy it greatly. I often refresh the forums either between rounds on MRP (as thats a 5m window ish) or between other things im doing when I happen to be tabbed to my browser anyway.

I feel like I give the MRP perspective as thats the only server I play on wizden that can give counter points to the LRP focused half of the board and hopefully aim the experiance upwards for all.

I generally dont read the Whitelists or the dev stuff unless I feel there is a way I can input constructively to a topic.

I have to admit ban appeals are a guilty pleasure.
It is specially amusing when people go “Yeah, i broke this rule, but this rule actually makes no sense and it should not exist so i did not actually deserve to be banned”
I am VERY sure that you are meant to make that case BEFORE breaking the rule, lmao.

when i get bored, i just read ban appeals and sometimes they are so funny that i get myself hurt laughing and type on post or two while i am here

if i’m on here it’s because i’m trying to resist playing or am completely unable to play.

im here for the drama by those who were banned

well suited name then

I’m here to pass the time. Also as mentioned previously, ban appeal drama is mildly entertaining. This appeal is one of my favorites.

I can’t afford to miss golden posts like these. I’ve never met this man, but even I got sad that the “best shitter” isn’t with us any more lol.

And sometimes you just see an absolute banger of a ban appeal like this one. Where the dude has receipts! Like I gotta know how this ends. I’m invested now.

I occasionally post on here. Like asking questions about the inactive patreon (that no one seems to care about) or asking for a shit ton of rule clarifications because I want to be a good noodle while I’m playing sec. (like seriously how hard it is to decide what level magical contraband is. I gotta treat it as minor contra until i get a ruling)

ooh that first ban appeal was amazing. im just sad they didn’t get unbanned so we’ll never get a sequel. Reading it had me laughing out loud.
(though if your considering making a ban appeal and want to get accepted i strongly recomend not doing that)

I like to think that people like that are good natured shitters; a nice chaotic neutral alignment. People that cause just enough mischief to keep the rounds interesting. One that does enough funny shit that everyone watched with bated breath to see what he does next. The kind of person that wakes up and thinks “god’s graced me with another day on this planet and I’m going to make it everyone problem”. The true spirit of a tider. Someone you don’t know how fond of them you are until they disappear. It seems like every time you lose a person like this; a star vanishes in the night sky. But anyways, yeah not a good idea for a ban appeal, but it was funny.

kinda became a ritual before going to bed to read forums and look at PRs on Github, like to stay informed and read questionable ban appeals

your post should be pinned for future entertainment sauce.

Also, they should make a thread for the top banned-shitters hall of shame. However, it kinda worries me that people would purposely try to get banned just so they can be put in the hall of shame for attention.

It’s fun and I’m bored.

Because I want to read all the things
