Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lordmon" data-source="post: 163814" data-attributes="member: 4323">Yes, but the mayor lies. RPG was prohibited in Vila Velha, a Brazilian big city. Thiago (the RPG player from the story) is going to see what happened, today.          If you see the RPG section at Brazilian bookstore, you will think you are seeing the horror section. 90% are Gothic Horror. It is dificult to explain that RPG are not demoniac/murder that way...          Fabiano.          "In Vila Velha (a town in yet ANOTHER state, some 400 miled from Rio), the local coucil prohibited stores from selling RPGs. A local RPGer heard of this and contacted one of the 3 council members who voted against such prohibition. She said that the motion to ban RPGs had to be vetoed by the mayor, and then the council had to approve the veto. Then the motion would be cancelled. She suggested that the RPGer gathered his friends and came to th next open session of the council, to represent RPGers in general. And so he did.When the coucnil met again, he was there with over 50 friends who played or were simply sympathetic to the cause. He talked to all 3 members who originally voted against the ban, and then went to each of the other member (some 20 or so) who voted for the ban. Most admitted that they had never even heard of RPGs before voting the ban, so they voted out of ignorance. By the end of the day, that RPGer managed to sway over 15 of the members into voting against the ban after the mayor vetoed it. His next step would be a meeting with the mayor to exlain what RPGs really are and convince him to veto the ban. "</blockquote>
