What, no time for a picture of something from the 80's with a snappy line like "Rodney Rude says down with Ameritards!" ?

Take your recycled shit back to cats in gameboxes land. I'm certain they will appreciate your "genius" much more.


Well since I've heard the word "genius" aimed at me more than once on this site. I guess I'm fairly well rounded.

Can't we just all be friends now?

Seriously though, while I'm all for giving Chapel's genius a witty response, I also think we shouldn't shoo away users like that other boardgaming site.

Back on topic: Is this the proof that Aldie is controlled for an Old Guard?

This list a great example of making a mountain out of a molehill.

I hear that Octavian is trying to patent Stealth Locking™.

EDIT- Presumably %u2122 means you cannot display the superscript TM symbol. Bizarrely it doesn't show up in the preview but does once submitted! If you're going to ban a symbol, shouldn't it be "€" AKA the Euro?

There is a new sheriff in town Gents, the name is Moon, Alan Moon and it is my pleasure to announce we bagged Mr. Weeks.

The usually quiet and "above it all" Alan Moon weighed in on Aldie's decision to ban me permanently from the site. Alan thumbed up the decision.

This my friends has to be one of my proudest moments, to see that thumb from Alan!

Think about all the time Aldie put in to moderate that website with features like "plonking" and hide threads but you could still not silence the truth because what made them the most angry was that I was telling truth! I was holding the mirror right in front of them and they couldn't stand what they saw! I did it without an ounce of profanity and without an ounce of hate. Maybe as time passes they will see the folly of their ways and realize that they are not the best guys to be at the helm of the hobby.

I'm in agreement, and sent Aldie a note claiming it. He set up a site with PLONKing, hide lists, flagging, etc etc. Does he need to wade into every fucking argument with the banhammer? Can these guys not just blot out Steve from their site? There's at least a dozen posters that are on my killfile and the site is WAAAAY better for it. Jesus, what a bunch of babies.

I agree that the banning is stupid. He wasn't nasty or profane; it was diplomatic trolling, if you will.

Steve, what I don't understand is why you care so much about what goes on at BGG. Why go over there and start trouble? You certainly did it in a non-threatening manner, but why do it in the first place? What's the goal?

Ameritrash gaming is healthier than ever, but will always be under-represented at BGG due to the sheer volume of euros that comes out every year, so you're not going to change that. Aldie owns the site and controls the content, so you're not going to change that. Thornquist and Schloesser don't campaign against AT - they just happen to have different tastes than you.

I am honestly curious - why do you keep poking the hornets nest?

How dare you disrupt commerce over at the other site.Instead of clicking on those Tanga,Thought Hammer and Boulder Games buttons people are reading your "Pot Stiring" posts and not buying grossly discounted games they will never play.The discounted games must flow....so Aldie can eat.

Not on my watch, he doesn't. I greasemonkey'd/Ad Blocked Plussed all that shit off. If I need TH, Tanga, I'll do it from a bookmark; not an ad click on that site.

Who bought that $500 copy of RISK: BLACK OPS that the webmaster at that site put up for sale?

Yes!!! Its not enough that Aldie has to beg his users for money he has to go and list his FREE copy of Risk Black OPS and make a quick buck!

ATTENTION!!! Whoever bought Aldie's copy of Risk Black Ops please contact me immediately!~ I would like to interview you on my next podcast. I want to know how much Aldie charged you for shipping and if it was reasonable, did Aldie autograph the game, what was the total price for this free gift that Aldie hocked?

Well, damn. Being on your pod-show might just be worth the 400 bucks plus shipping and handling. I wonder how much it would take for Aldie to throw in hotel fare for BBGcon....
