Community Statement regarding the recent doxxing of an RPG Codex user by the Administration

[Eyestabber]

Makes me really curious about how you guys would react in a Japan maid cafe, or any Taiwanese store in general.
Every breakfast shop there calls you handsome/cutie, it's like a tradition or something.

I don't really know how I would react.

It would be the very first time someone called me that.

 

[Joni Odin von Hassenstein]

Yeah, especially people in the Southwest and, to some extent, in California tend to be very friendly. East Coast not so much.

I'd like to add that most of the people in the South (geographically speaking: Southeast) are very friendly too!
Ach, Mississippi people...

But yes, coming back is always a rough change. I remember, the first time I came back to Berlin after a few years, and my friend wanted to buy something. She was taking stuff from the shelves to look at it, which quite obviously upset the salesperson, who was following her and moving the items back into the right position. Finally, my friend had two items in her hands, trying to figure out what to buy, which prompted the sentence "Do you now want to buy something or just stare holes into the air?" I found it really touching to hear this true classic on my first visit to a store. This was Berlin as I knew it.

I had to laugh so hard. Which didn't help the situation, but I found it really funny at that point.

It's as if store clerks in Germany want to actively make you not buy things. But if you talk to the manager in this country he'll say "go shop somewhere else if you don't like it." The only problem is, every store is like that.

(However, at least when it came to returns and refunds, even when they're not supposed to give you any because of stupid German warranty laws, pulling "I want to talk to the manager" does tend to work even here, though nobody does it much. I've successfully returned tons of things, like opened video games, movies, fans, by insisting I speak to the manager. Typically they've never been exposed to this kind of situation and will just make your problem go away, at least when it's of this nature.)

Oh, you wouldn't like me...

That's only because everyone over 150cm is a rarity and considered super tall and handsome to the locals.

Hell, even Phage would probably be considered above average height there, even without elevator shoes.

Glad to know I'm on your mind bb, 'cause I honestly forgot about you

Also, yeah, I would be fairly tall in Japan according to averages.

I'm always looking out for the little (hehe) guy.

Some day, we will build a nice farm where you can all live in peace. A very small farm, sure, with low ceilings. But still...

Ok, Janko.

I think DU should step down, but make himself a stretch goal for the next fundraiser before he goes.

Stop trying to derail the customer service thread.

So, about Dark Underlord and the future of the Codex...

Waiting for the new ToS I guess.

I haven't been following this drama, but hope that it ends with us forming a posse to hunt down Sawyer and make him answer for his... way of being.

Won't read the thread in fear of my hopes being crushed.

This is the Codex where all your hopes and dreams are crushed...

 

[Eyestabber]

Well, since DarkUnderlord saw fit to split the thread, putting it back on topic, I think I'm going to make a small request:

Now that the dust has settled, I hope The Management™ realized that more drastic measures (aka closing GD) are not needed. GD is mostly about silly fun, and the Codex would lose much of its soul if I could no longer read about Bratty's quest to convince his gf to dress like anime, Dreead's music PhD lady stalker friend or my own thread about lan parties being super awesome (BACK IN THE DAY IT WAS BETTER!). Every forum has an "off topic" section, so there is no reason why the Codex should be the exception. Also, the argument that forcing everyone to "stick to RPG, cuz this is a forum about RPGssssss" would solve all our problems is simply fucking retarded. Remember hiver's cage match with VD? Was it about politics? NO. It was about Wasteland 2. What was the CAUSE of that incident? The conversation topic (WL2) or the fact that hiver is like...LEGIT crazy?

tl;dr: GD doesn't kill doxx/stalk/harass people, asshole posters doxx/stalk/harass people.
