Saw the game. That 2nd goal was a beauty. Couldn't help but be a bit pleased for this dumb French side. I don't normally root for the French but what they hey.

Sign me up, I don't know who's left but I'll be following the cup more or less.

Sometimes you can be probated for being right.

Other times, well.

Shadow0 posted:

I never ever understand how or why people get banned or probated on GBS. I look at their posts that get them probated or banned and can't figure out how it is any different than their normal posting. It truly baffles me.

I honestly really avoided posting on the entire forum for a long time because I was afraid of getting banned. It seemed like it was impossible to avoid for too long if you posted anything at all. (And alas, eventually even I did get probated. [I guess I deserved it.])

This is my new favorite out-of-context Kashuno post by the way.

Sorry these are all very old, but I'm curious; if you're still feeling up to it.

I didn't know these existed! Thank you for letting me know these exist; this speaks to me on so many levels (...two [probably for the same root cause])! Too bad it got used already. (I guess multiple people can be the same thing though.)

Your book is the Alchemist's Apprentice.

Do you wanna do the Copa America? A bit more relevant to the majority of Americans. I'm rooting for Colombia obviously. Love our current team, it's terrific.

If I would have been thinking before hand I would, but with five teams already eliminated (and probably a sixth before the end of the night), I'd feel bad that a good chunk of the field would potentially draw a team already out.

That said, I'm gonna go watch colombia vs costa rica tomorrow in houston :toot:

My lone probation came when the football subforum moderator came into the soccer subforum and probated me for an emoticon only response outside of GDTs, which was totally fine and cool in the soccer subforum then. Got a whole day for that.

The worst case scenario is that you post it and it takes a bit to fill, or it doesn't fill and you repost it in a couple of weeks.

Abridged thoughts from the game: Please don't call people a bitch (or just don't be a jerk) in the game, it's super offensive and doesn't help anything.

# ? Jun 11, 2016 14:50

Diqnol: May 10, 2010

Be as offensive as you want to be* but play the drat game and don't get too personal.

_{*There are lines you shouldn't cross and if you need them spelled out actually keep it to yourself you big lug}

if you find yourself needing to use personal insults to play the game you need to take a break from mafia for a while
