What the Eff happened to the Joining the Army thread?

Post by Lago PARANOIA »

So another person from meatspace about my opinions on joining the military. Since I typed up a bunch of shit giving my detailed honest opinion about the whole thing in the Joining the Army thread that ubernoob start, I thought I would reuse it rather than spending a couple of hours typing the same thing again.

And now the friggin' thread is gone. What gives?

Your freedom to run/play a game without needing to understand a complex rule system is in direct conflict with my freedom to play a character whose abilities and flaws function as I intended within that ruleset. Your freedom to add and change rules in the middle of the game is in direct conflict with my ability to understand that rules system before I decided whether or not to join your game.

In short, your entire post is dismissive of not merely my intelligence, but my agency. And I don't mean agency as a player within one of your games, I mean my agency as a person. You do not want me to be informed when I make the fundamental decisions of deciding whether to join your game or buying your rules system.

"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."
