Say whatever you want. The endgame for censorship types is to automate the process and remove the human element from online interactions.



We are in someone else's yard. One that mysteriously seems to feature players who interact solely through disembodied text, has a numbered scoring system and also at least one non-player character who fiercely guards a list of rules, and can alter everything.

Is obviously some kind of retro cyberpunk-themed text-based multiplayer D&D clone. So, personally, I try not to directly piss off dang, who appears to currently be the dungeonmaster here, just in case I then get eaten by a grue.


I'll take it, but would rather persuade you that the rules are worth following because they make for a more interesting game.


Our idea here is to try to enhance the human element in online interactions, or at least to prevent it from destroying itself. If that isn't clear from the site guidelines, I'm not sure what would persuade you? All of them are meant sincerely.
