Its not up to the users to promote the game. On that I agree with Knecht and the Joker.

C'mon now...

While I agree with you and everyone else that the onus is on the BB team to promote the game, there's no need to disparage or mock others if they want to make an effort on that front.

Completely agree with this remark. I'm sure you'll have read this too.

Wow I woke up the negativity mafia!
All of you are entitled to your as always positive views on things. I would hate to be of that nature though and I won't join any of you in that.
Nor will I keep discussing any of it as it will just be a waste of time. Been there done that. There's no way of coming to any agreement.

Negativity mafia? I object to those words both individually and combined.

Damn, we have woken up the negationist GM/ex-GM mob!

Oh wait, we didn't do anything actually, they actually take it upon themselves to shoot down (or censor) anybody saying anything about the game THEY don't approve. And when confronted with their own hypocrisy, then whoopies, let's shut down the conversation. What a impressive bunch.

If you had any honesty you would tell us what you have done to promote BB like you demanded/suggested from others. I think we can all figure out why you are withdrawing while launching some more accusations...


I would like to point out, for the record, that:
1. This conversation is here and ongoing.
2. In the past month, 7 of the 74 posts in this thread have been deleted - 1 by the poster, two that were doubleposts, and three on a political tangent entirely unrelated to BB, and one that was a violation of the forum rules but not at all on the topic of the discussion either.

So to be absolutely clear, this discussion has not been censored.

To continue the trend of honesty and clarity, I personally entirely dislike your recent penchant of accusing staff members of dishonesty, hypocrisy and censorship (just to use three specific charges you made in the words I quoted above). It serves absolutely no constructive purpose whatsoever, other than to satisfy whatever personal animosity you have towards whatever members of the staff you're currently feuding with.

And yet, the post remains. You can certainly disagree with a lot of things in this game, as is your prerogative, and we in general bend over backwards to try to allow as much free discussion as possible. And part of that freedom is that we keep our roles as users when we become GMs. If you don't like the fact that we're not enthusiastically parroting your every word, speaking only for myself, please excuse me for reserving for myself the same right to express my opinion as I afford you and every other person who posts here.

Dishonesty. Censorship. Hypocrisy. Those are loaded words, and they're definitely things to shun. The fact that you're slinging them as carelessly as you are (pointed at Manon's post, in particular, which is far less sarcastic than anything you and I would regularly post) is not something I'd consider as an indicator that you're putting much value into the words you're choosing, and highly unlikely to make me consider the rest of the words you throw out alongside them as having any value.
