It's the difference between quietly taking some office supplies home with you from the office, and walking by your boss's desk on the way out to say "Thanks for the free pens, man!"

Wouldn't the Astro Zombie be the creature in the pyramid that was chasing the protagonist and trying to eat him?
The earth-destroying evil was a team of archaeologists.

How long would players have to debate and vote on each turn? No time limit? I'd be interested in playing if I didn't have to commit to spending a certain amount of time every day.

hopefully nipping this in the bud
I can kind of empathize with bruce here, because I've been in situations where everyone was insisting I was wrong, and I was just so highly annoyed that I kept trying to explain what I meant. It was obvious that there was something fundamental that was missing in our communications, and I really wanted them to understand what I was saying, so I kept trying, but my increasing annoyance was making it harder and harder. bruce doesn't seem like he's making much effort to understand what people are...

Wow, I used to miss the image tag, but threads like this make me think it would be hell in this post-LOLcats world.

Bunnystock II hits Virginia Beach, VA
MetaChat used to feature bunny rabbit imagery. A lot of people feel that the fluffy nature of the bunny accurately captures the "please keep virtual bloodshed to a minimum" culture of MetaChat.

I can't be the only person who wants this
I know a lot of people have suggested making all favorites non-public. I always thought that seemed like a good idea, and I've always wondered what exactly Matt likes about public favorites. Has he said anywhere? Matt?
(The idea was that public favorites seem to encourage jokey one-liners by commenters looking to build up their numbers. On the other hand, someone pointed out that the favorites have almost eliminated the 'X wins the thread' comments.)

Dude, nobody is moderating?!!!??
Great meetup moment: blacklite walks up and introduces himself. He's standing near an actual black light, and the name 'blacklite' is glowing on his white nametag. Real-life eponysteria!

Moderation needed
In fact, let's just stick to the weather and the state of everyone's health.
See a doctor. Now.

Wow, OmieWise. I always look forward to reading your responses because I've found you live up to the "wise" part of your name, but I'm a little surprised this morning. Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed?
I speak here as one who reads MetaTalk for the cruelty... I agree with carmen that the jeering seems a little unnecessary in this case. Isn't it enough to note that the question was unclearly worded? It's hilarious when everyone abuses a self-linker... [more]

C'mon, you guys are jinxing the real flameouts.

dame, here's another way to read it:
A. Guy posts that a family member dies.
B. Everyone complains about his wording, makes jokes.
C. Guy says, "Crap, my family member died and you're nitpicking and mocking me?"
D. Everyone says, "You're a prick!"
I'm not actually reading the situation exactly that way, but it seems about as fair as your restatement.

What it looks like to me:
A. Guy posts question that is somewhat poorly-worded. Not catastrophically so.
B. People discuss in MeTa whether it's poorly-worded. Some do so in a civil tone, some in a lighthearted or snarky tone.
C. Guy who is obviously not having a good day gets offended that someone has specifically selected his question as so bad it needs to be highlighted as an example of misuse of the sight. He is also... [more]

Some of these are pretty good!

This bugs me. It can't be coincidence, but what...
Here's my take on it:
Posadnitsa enjoys posting questions and then answering his own questions. Maybe he took some flack over it when he answered his own Google question three years ago. Or maybe he's just been feeling guilty about it. But for the last three years he's been filled with a desire to post the question again and answer it himself. So this time he used a sock puppet, and figured no one would be the wiser. This is ernestworthing's first question, after all, and posadnita... [more]

"You already made this a favorite." Well,...
The problem, as I've noticed it, is this: I add a thread to my favorites. The page reloads. The favorite count has not increased, and when I show the users who have made the post a favorite, my name is not there. Doesn't matter if I refresh. But then when I go look at my favorites, the post is in fact there.

As a sensitive, caring, intelligent, non-lecherous male, how do I fuck the shit out of anything that walks, regardless of race, religion, income, social stigma or species?
So can we get an answer to this question?
