Edition War Flowchart

Obviously 6E was the best, and anyone who claims otherwise has amorous relationships with wool-producing quadrupeds.

Needs options for Pathfinder, quitting after OD&D/Basic/1e/2e, and other games though.

But pretty awesome and fairly accurate, yes.

I once failed to get a warning on another forum for making a flaming troll post on someone who probably didn't need it but I felt like it and couldn't convince myself otherwise, after IMing one of the site's moderators and reporting my own post. I think they were so confused they forgot to give me a warning. That or they secretly agreed with me.

Liking D&D is treason.

Huh?

Exactly.

(Explanation in case my sentence structure was unintelligible:
- I flamed someone on another board once. They probably didn't deserve it, but it felt like they did at the time, and I didn't care if I got a warning for it, so I did it anyway.
- I then contacted one of the mods I talk to sometimes who happened to be on AIM at the time and linked them to the post, thus reporting my own post.
- Despite clear admission that I knew full well what I was doing and that I shouldn't have done it, I somehow didn't get a warning even though I probably should have.

Basically the opposite situation to the 'I didn't deserve that warning/ban!' thing. I *did* deserve the warning I didn't get. Which was, in fact, very much a 'Huh?' moment.

Just found this thread. Love the chart! Have an XP.
One comment. "Can you prove it?" needs a "Because it is!" response.

Seems that the Edition Wars have flared up again...people are getting angry, ignoring each other, posting about how they are ignoring each other, threads getting locked, and so on. I thought the forum could use a little bit of humor. So:

Bump!

Ironically, we're sick of the edition war meta-threads and are closing them. You've just bumped this up to be conveniently closed!

Funny chart, though. Feel free to link back to it in posts when it's appropriate.
