Yes, as everybody has noticed, GoatKiller is a new co-mod for GT. So now everybody can pester him, and if he deems it worthy of my attention, he'll enter a plea on your behalf.
He's also around to make sure people name their game threads correctly, and all the other boring stuff.
Thanks for taking the job GK. Have fun.

I'm going to protest the 'naming things correctly' bit. For archival purposes it makes some sense (for the few people that actually care about archived stuff), but in active forums it seems redundant and interferes with the aesthetic of the game. As I told Goat, I don't even like the way it looks separating Acropolis from Alcazar or Aesir from Vanir. If I could label the old threads and have them archived while keeping the names in the current threads how I want them, I could support it.

Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

So, at the risk of knocking my bosses, now that I've become an agent of "The Man", it's your game. Label them how you want to. At some point, the game will end, and when it gets archived out of the sub-forum... there will be some value to having the game's name in the threads. Until then, it's all you.

Ah, that makes sense. Of course, me being the lazy bastard that I am, I would just merge all the threads into one big thread with the game's name. The equivalent of stuffing it all into a single box, slapping a label on it, and then hauling it to the attic/basement.

So, in honor of April Fool's Day, and now that I have complete authority to make changes and deletions to any and all threads or posts in Gravin Threndor, I'd just like to just say that I have not deleted anything important.
I hope.
I wanted to use my powers only for good, but... it went to my head. And I might have been drinking a little. So I'm not sure what all I changed. But let me know, and I'll try to put it back or something.

Nah, then games couldn't be resurrected if necessary. And it wouldn't make sense to anybody trying to read them.Syl wrote:Ah, that makes sense.

(Not that any game has been resurrected ever, but that is not the point...any GM can continue his game at any time, if they ever want to.) (And I don't like throwing things away... )

You deleted the post which gave me several gens and a ton of freebie points. Please restore or reimburse ASAP.Goatkiller666 wrote:I wanted to use my powers only for good, but... it went to my head.
