I'd hardly call a single thread wishing to not have a dozen warlord threads all cross-talking at odds cloggin up the 5e discussion board a "campaign to banish the warlord."
But I appreciate the amount of clout you seem to think I possess around here. Fear me. FEEEEAAARRRR MEEEEEE!!!! BOOWAHAHAHAHA!
I am also not aware that having one's own subforum specifically designed to discuss exactly and only what you want to talk about a "banishment" to a "ghetto."
I'd be THRILLED to have Homebrews/design threads divorced from the General 5e forum again...in which, incidentally, I'm pretty sure there was a 5e warlord designed... by moi.
So, in closing, Hussar...you can fill in some blanks.
Not sure what blanks you think need filling in?
The argument, as far as I can tell, is that we get threads like yours because people are cluttering up the forums with warlord threads. I pointed out that at the point where you had created your thread to say that we need to push warlord discussion into a sub forum, we had exactly 5 warlord threads - 2 actually directly discussing warlords and three complaining that we were discussing warlords.
IOW, there aren't a proliferation of threads. There are a couple of threads and then a proliferation of meta-level threads talking about whether or not we should actually be talking about warlords at all. Now, subsequently, we have a number of other warlord threads, that's true. But, Imaro's list is actually out of chronological order, so, it's rather difficult to parse. You can list threads in order of original post date, which is how I could construct the actual timeline.
And, you can't really have it both ways. You can't, on one hand, tell me that WotC shouldn't waste it's time making a warlord and I should be happy with a home-brew version of a warlord, and then turn around and bitch about the fact that multiple home-brew versions are being talked about. If you (the general you, not you specifically) want warlord fans to be happy with home-brew, then, well, suck it up. We're going to have to actually take a look at a number of versions and compare and contrast and find ones that we personally like.
Since there is no unifying baseline version, them's the breaks.
