Dumb question of the day (because I haven't seen anything posted around here):

Do we now have a Baby Darren?

we do, but darren hasn't made the public announcement yet, so i won't say anything more than yes, we do have a baby and we'll have to wait for him to give all the nitty gritty details

[FoolishPleasure]

Thanks for the info.

Hey mods, just thought I'd post this as I got on quickly: Do I get any new goodies with 600 posts?

I'm afraid you have at least 200 more posts to go.

[immhotep]

yeah its 800 and you get i think an increased PM inbox ( from 10 - 30) and i think access to some more avatars. i think they include the 'bonus' main character and specific enemy's/ allies, instead of just thwe origional 'stargate enemies'. dont quote me on that though because im not totally sure.

Oh Great Moderators
We have a thread in the Role Play section which does not belong to us.
http://forum.gateworld.net/showthread.php?t=20737
We're not sure how we got it but, can it be relocated to someplace else? Please?

[GateGipsy]

I've moved it to the General Stargate Discussion folder.

[immhotep]

Here's a question: Is the RPG folder open to everyone, or are only people playing Gen Blue's game allowed to post in there? I understand the whole issue of not wanting to confuse multiple games, but does that mean that NO ONE is allowed to play there if they aren't part of "the" game?

[GateGipsy]

No the folder doesn't 'belong' to General Blue.

That said, it is the RPG folder, so if you're going to play there then you'll be playing in the games. And of course the off topic rules applies - if someone goes posting away in a fashion that mucks up the games then naturally that's not in keeping with the thread's topic/aim, therefore that poster would get modded.

If someone was going to start a new RPG game, then they're welcome to, but it would make sense to clearly mark the threads for that game so there's no confusion between the ongoing games.

The thread that was moved in there, then out again, wasn't technically an RPG. But then it wasn't quite right for General Discussion, nor was it quite right for Fan Fiction, nor does it fit in Fan Fiction...we moved it back to General Discussion while we try to figure out if there's an appropriate home for it.

Sometimes it just happens that there are threads that don't quite fit into any part of the forum. The RPG games used to be like that until Darren kindly created a folder to house them.

Point of fact - it's not MY game. If it's anyone's, it's Colonel Sharp's. Thanks, Sharpy!

I'm not the original General Blue. That was Proxy Blue who developed the RP along with Colonel Sharp.

Just wanted to set the record straight. I didn't want to usurp credit where credit wasn't due.

Thanks for moving the thread. The creator didn't know why it had been put there either.
(Poor, homeless thread. )

[immhotep]

just want to emphasise that, proxy and sharp have set up multiple RP and have had other people in ( like me ) but its always been those two. even though i dont play i thinks it fair to say its proxy's and sharps game.

I can understand that, but I think there's a difference between "Hey guys! If you're joining our game, here are the rules. If you're starting your own game, remember to keep it clearly marked so no one gets confused." and "Read our rules before you post here again."

And yeah, I thought the game was sharp's, but from the set-up in the RPG folder and the tone of the replies to the homeless thread, I suddenly wasn't sure.
