EnWorld: The Non-Profit Society

[TiQuinn]

I got an even better idea!

You heard of this thing, the 8-Minute Abs?

Ok, well this is going to blow that right out of the water. Listen to this: 7... Minute... Abs.

 

[Tom Cashel]

I think it's a GREAT idea!

I volunteer to be Supreme EN World Intergalactic Emperor and Pope in perpetuity.

Now send me your money.

<sigh> I give up. You're all anarchists!

My next trick will be hanging upside down using only my toe nails for support. Yes, gentleman, toe nails.

Please, don't assume I'm an anarchist. I'm not.

I simply don't think that ENWorld (Or, indeed, the gaming community as a whole) needs to be unionized and orginized to leverage our collective wills, nor do I think that such a thing is by any stretch of the imagination feasable due to the wildly differing natures of opinions withen even a semi-homogeneous gathering of gamers such as ourselves (Homogeneous, in this case, is in comparison to, say, RPG.net)... For anything that the collective would want to support you could probably find nearly as many people against it. It's just the way we are.

I give up. You're all anarchists!

BU, you have tried to organise the party in D&D haven't you? It takes 15 minutes to agree that we're going to break camp, and another 45 to decide in what direction we go afterwards! Getting a group of role-players actually 'organised' is kinda like expecing a sack of ferrets to be peaceful!

My next trick will be hanging upside down using only my toe nails for support. Yes, gentleman, toe nails.

We shall expect to see photos of this.

I second Tom's nomination.

Yes and proudly so

as the great philosopher Gnome Chomsky said "ack laddie yoo be leavin thaat fer der Bignobs Wahoot Wahae!"

 

[diaglo]

there is a woody allen paraphrase quote somewhere in all of this i know it.


sorry, i don't want to join this bandwagon.

Why would it be a breeding ground for hard feelings?

That's very simple - while we are all gamers, we are not all united in any particulars. As soon as "initiatives" come up, there are going to be harsh disagreements, that those lead to hard feelings.

You say we could affect the book and TV industry? Have you actually seen what gets said around here? There's no agreement on what's good in books or media or anything. How in the world can you have initiatives to improve something when the group as a whole cannot agree on what would be an improvement?
