>>53298753

>>53298753
There's certainly more than one 40k thread going on.

>>53298753

>>53298753
Makes me wish they made /tgg/ istead of /qst/

I, personally, prefer it. It's far more useful than having 20 threads for the same thing(like anytime something new gets announced by GW). People bitch about them, but since when was organization a bad thing?

>>53298753
Go make another stat me thread, faggot.

>>53298753
bad. i never visit generals, even of games i am interested in, unless I require some specific information

>>53298931
This right here.

>>53299041
generals are only needed for highly popular games such as dnd and 40K. most other things dont need a general thread

>>53298753
Pretty damn bad. How am I supposed to find interesting discussions when they're hidden 300 posts into a general running so long overdue it even has its micro community of shitters. It sucks. I don't want to read about pathfinder or d&d 5th or 4th or whatever. Those are boring subjects. I want to read about and discuss fun ideas that I can use regardless of my choice of system.

this isn't as bad as /jp/ yet

>>53299131
I can see why Battletech, Flames of War, L5R and a few others have generals.

I would never advocate for like a Dark Age general as the game just isn't big enough, but that's what we have /awg/ for.

>>53298753
Generals are great for everyone.

>large games
Prevents flooding of threads that obscures all other games.

>small games
Combines threads so the community for that game can see anything relevant to the game instead of missing half of the threads.

>upstart non-general threads
Such as tg projects. These suddenly stick out and gain attention for being different.

>>53299214
Segregation is great for everyone! Having a /tg/ community was a mistake! We should never ever discuss anything outside of our walled microcommunities!

>>53299272
Because you totally can't like multiple things and follow multiple threads or anything.

>>53298753
There hasn't been meaningful or even passably GOOD content put on suptg in months, so basically fuck the mods in the ass for being worthless sacks of shit and thinking the board is better now. There is NOTHING good about it anymore.

>>53299272
>trying to bait /pol/ this hard
This is sad that this is the state of /tg/. What's even sadder is that people are going to actually take this bait seriously.

Diversity is truly cancer

>>53299272
In generals, they are bumped to all hell and when they die, a new one is created or is replaced by yet another general. This chokes out smaller, more focused threads out of the 1st page.

>>53299272
Segregation is great for everyone. This is scientifically proven. Fuck your egalitarian multiculti bullshit. Having said that, your completely retarded "comparison" isn't relevant here.

/tg/ is so diverse that it's a must and on top of that people who post outside the geberals and in the biggest generals are usually far more retarded then the more getto generals. I am happy about it.
I get that in a better world non general threads would be great, but currently nongeneral threads are like 60% greentexts and shitposting and even the other threads have many shitposters in them.

>>53299272
good point, you should go into all the generals and shit them up with your creativity

>>53299324
>1st page
Hello, new friend.

I miss quests.

>>53299378
Well, yeah.

Pathfinder General is a good example of why generals are bad. Generals form cliques and personalities that will dominate discussion. Magical realm and fetish shit fill PFG. 5e General I can atleast ask for advice and get some responses.

It's the how 4chan seems to be going now that everyone here is a redditor.

>>53299378
I miss /tg/ quests. Moving all quests to /tg/ was a big mistake, and moving them off was only slightly less bad.

>>53299356
The first page was something that used to be worth looking at years ago. I doubt any newfags even look at it over the (relatively new) catalogue.

>>53299417
That's probably the strongest argument about generals. If the duscussion goes to places you wouldn't want to go, you might as well hope the next iteration is better. People respond poorly to whining.

>>53298850
snap.
>>53298923
im kinda meh on the whole thing. I tend to like most of /tg/ threads.
Will admit im loving the "QICK I NEED PICS OF HAWT MUSCLE LADIES"

>>53299456
>relatively new
They had catalog shit in 2009. Almost 10 years ago.
>>53299478
The strongest argument against generals is the starcraft 2 generals.

>>53299316
So why are you here?

>>53299272
>>53299214
I like x subjects. I don't like y subjects.
>without generals
Have to filter out y subjects so I can spot x subjects. Probably going to miss some of them. In either case, I wont mingle with people in the threads I dislike.

Less enjoyable experience.

>with generals
I can easily filter out the generals relating to subject y. Like before, I am not going to wander into a genral of a game I dislike and chat with the people in that general. How sad.

More enjoyable experience.

>>53298753
Better than when it was quests the board

Hey mods are you there?

Can we get the two stickies combined into one now please?

>>53299654
you're not supposed to look at the first sticky, nobody listens to it.

>>53299549
Not accurate. Before generals we had threads divided by subject. I want to talk about a subject so I go to the thread about that subject.

Now we have subjects divided by system, so if I want to talk about a subject I first have to choose between that subject as it relates to pathfinder, or to D&D 5th, etc etc. After I've done that I have to pray to dear lord that the given general is actually interested in discussing anything but themselves at the current time. After that's done, I get maybe one or two replies and leave feeling no more inspired.

Generals kill content.

It's not so much about room for discussion as everything outside of quests and generals is shitposts.

I wish people would shut the fuck up about quests.

>>53299442
>>53299378
Yeah, it's a shame to see 'em go.

>>53299831
As has been proven by the whole fiasco, people will bitch about not having their way for literally forever until they get their way. And then they'll keep bitching about it even if they get their way.
So don't expect it to stop any time soon.

>>53298753
Beats the hell out of being drowned out by drawthreads and quest faggotry.

/qst/ was the best thing to happen to this board.

>>53299726
It's a shame that everyone outside of general threads is more interested in shitposting than making /tg/ content.
I mean look at this thread.

>>53299874
Actually the best thing that happened to this board was the removal of nazimod.
Anything else you could claim pales in scope, importance, general improvement in board quality, and universal at the time agreement it was an improvement.

>>53298753
Makes me want to fuck a girl wearing a goat mask

>>53299131
I dunno, it's been kinda fun to watch the uniformity of the 40k general collapse into a million little threads as every different tidbit of information regarding the new edition gets exposed and bitched about.

I mean, we had a whole bunch of celebrity threads not too long ago when the /pol/ invasion happened.
Who knows when they'll do that again.

And then there's that guy spamming APOLOGIZE, and bitching about various writers, and talk about tolkien.

>>53300082
I'm just saying, this entire thread is nothing but people whining.
Whining is basically saying you are powerless to change anything, but still want to voice the fact that you are unsatisfied with the situation.

The thing is, why the fuck do you personally care about the /tg/ community? If you want content more suited for you - find another community or start your own. It's not fucking rocket science.
Every community has its natural life cycle, during which it changes its course from the original one.
Complaining about shit won't make you more happy or change anything.

>>53300112
People whining is a powerful force on /tg/. It's gotten numerous things kicked off throughout the ages.

>>53300170
And yet it never added anything of substance. Just got rid of stuff.

>>53300184
Yes.
Which is what the whiners here want to do, it seems.
So to tell them to stop whining because it doesn't do anything is incorrect, because whining totally gets things removed around here.

Generals don't work for 4chan, not just /tg/. When faggots start feeling to comfortable they start spaming the same memes, it turns into echo chamber and people start tripfagging.
People should write posts when they have something to say, not because they have to talk to their "friends".

>>53298753
Nazimod removing lewd was always going to lead to this. Should be /tgg/ desu

>>53300711
That's why general Discords are a good thing.

40k alone has the 40k general, the Horus heresy general and the 40k roleplay general, and that's without counting the general for the nobledark AU. There's also one for Fantasy and another for AoS. D&D and co. have the fifth edition general and the pathfinder general as mainstays, and lately the fourth edition general as well. MTG between the different formats has at least 4 generals nowadays, and there was a "lore" general until a couple months ago.

Those are all relatively okay as they have a reason for existing and being on /tg/, something that can't be said of the CYOA, Jumpchain and Towergirls generals which are here only because the mods didn't have any other hole to cram them into at the time.

I mean, it's reached the point that several "general" communities have split and developed as independent organisms. There's no point in banning them now because it would be like questfags getting expelled except a million times worse

>>53300282
What a shame that some fucktard decided to turn that into a general. I actually would've loved an Endless thread but never knew about it existing because it got filtered.

>>53300775
Well, if you're a lazy, thin skinned enough baby to need to filter things, you totally deserve it.

>>53298753

It's great!
Not really.
I mean, there are barely any generalized D&D esque threads anymore, and it prevents dicussion of older editions, OSR is literally mostly non D&D systems, and people praise 4e-5e lore now.

Everything is casual, I am old, and no one knows who Kazerabet is, that 4e fucked Kaz the Betrayer, and other sorts of intrigue.

Oh right, then we have the anti board culture/memes we don't like blatantly not from here posters who will do anything to derail a thread by inventing stupid terms.

I literally met one faggot here who called my posts "effort posting" as if to denote it as a bad thing.

>>53298850
Please bare with us, going though an edition change with the entire rules being rewritten from the ground up so it's controversial times.

Most of us always prefer the community here to the dedicated forums.

It'll die down in 2 months.

>>53298753
Look at this thread. Look at what it's become. Yeah, we're technically allowed to have a meta thread, but in the same manner that the mentally disabled are allowed the right to bear arms, and the mods are sane enough to prevent us from doing so for much the same reasons we would prevent a retard from holding a gun.

Seriously, please, can I just play the retard? Blame me for everything wrong with the board. It was me, the deliberately retarded namefag called Wayne I did it, and I'll willfully be your scapegoat. Just blame me for everything and we can move on from there. It wasn't the other anons who did it. It was me, Wayne. Wayne is in charge of making all the bad things happen, and the other anons did nothing wrong.

There's nothing wrong with generals.

The problem is the attitude that some people have that you can't/shouldn't make posts about a game outside of its general.

Also how about instead of whining about the quality of /tg/, you contribute to making it a better board? Actually on second thought don't, you're all fucking retarded and will just post even more shit.

I don't have to bust my ass keeping threads alive over all the 40K/D&D/PF shitposting. We also don't have to resort to "My thing versus 40K" threads to keep topics outside of the big three alive anymore.

It's good.

Not that 40K or D&D or PF are inherently shitposting, but we certainly had our share.

>>53301249
>I don't have to bust my ass keeping threads alive
wew lad

>>53298753
PF general is good because it keeps all the annoying optimization shit in a single thread.

Warhammer generals are shit because they don't even work. There's constantly 5 different generals for each GW product and they still feel the need to make 10 separate threads for each of their beef mountain husbandos.

MTG generals suck for the same reasons as Warhammer. They aren't effective quarantines and the threads aren't interesting.

Star Wars general sucks because it tries to mash up too much shit in one place. I want to argue about bad lore opinions and talk about cool character/campaign ideas in the SW setting. But I don't care about the new cardboard discs you bought for your wargame, even if they have a picture of a SW character.

OSR general has the same problem. If you want to post about some interesting OSR system or adventure, I'd rather see it in a separate thread. Usually those threads get a good amount of replies.

GURPS general is fine. It's a fairly slow topic, so it's nice that it lets you discuss some GURPS thing without having to keep bumping a thread to keep it alive.

CYOA general just... doesn't make much sense to me? I'm not really sure why it exists, or why it belongs on /tg/. Seems more like the kind of thing that belongs on Tumblr or SA or some random webcomic forum. But they do a very good job of containing themselves, so I'm fine with letting them exist.

Worldbuilding general is usually pretty decent. Although it might be better if it was call "map making general". The typical "what is X like in your setting" posts work better in separate threads.

Board game general is good. Probably the best example of a general that consistently works well.

same. They're very good about not spilling out anywhere.

agreed

I do NOT frequent the other generals often enough to form an opinion.

>>53298753
I'm generally okay with it

>>53298753
Good. Everything is tidy now.

>>53301497
>Everything is Reddit now
FTFY

>>53301324
Star Wars General is absolutely hands down the worst general thread on /tg/. 90% of the posts are just completely talking passed each other and there's just no way to tell who is talking about what, and the majority of the time no one ever even talks about the RPGs and the few posts that try get outright ignored or get a single halfassed reply before getting ignored.

I disagree that OSR general is bad but do see your issue with it.

But otherwise I mostly agree with your assessments, and would like to add that Battletech General is pretty decent for similar reasons the GURPS general is acceptable. And pretty much all the niche game generals are like that, lets you discuss a particular game without having to keep bumping a thread to keep it alive.

Oh and there's also the long running Song of Swords General, which I don't dislike since it basically helped develop a game.

Otherwise
>>53301168
FUCKING THIS.

>>53300274
I tried hiding threads that didn't interest me.
/tg/ got really lonely. Lots of empty pages.
I don't bother anymore.

>>53301168
>The problem is the attitude that some people have that you can't/shouldn't make posts about a game outside of its general.
While I have to say that I don't want to see a hundred and one spammy 40K meme threads like we had in '08 shoving everything else off to the page 10 void, I don't think bringing up games outside of the generals is an issue.
More so when it's a conversation locked for that game specifically. Might as well be in the general.

Broad topic threads, sure. General purpose fantasy topics or talking about making terrain for your games...
One specific game only threads? Naw. That's just knocking one more thread off page 10 without good reason.

>Also how about instead of whining about the quality of /tg/, you contribute to making it a better board? Actually on second thought don't, you're all fucking retarded and will just post even more shit.

1) most questions people have are system related (and they are sorted out in their own generals). If everyone asked every single question they had in their own thread, the board would be a complete mess and you'd be lucky to get any meaningful feedback.

2) if you have any questions that are non-system specific, you can still make a non-general thread. If these questions are actually interesting, and not simply trolling, you'll get responses relatively fast.

>>53298753
Generals are a double-edged sword. For one they're usually the last bastions against the daily mad-lib shitposting and fetish threads that fill the board.

On the other hand generals probably contributed to the problem by focusing all conversation into single threads. But I'd call it a net gain since I can still find the stuff I care about and filter everything else.

/tg/ isn't so bad yet.

I mean there's a /40kg/ for example but if somebody posted a "what do Muhreens eat for breakfast thread?" it would be entertained and posted in probably.

Meanwhile on places like /sp/, there's no point asking a question about a Premier League team outside of the general, it would just go unnoticed. Only problem is that the generals are cancerous little rooms, imagine if in the /wip/ thread here, people were only interested in GW miniatures.

Nah, /tg/ is fine as it is.
Even the turbotistic sperglords that sometimes plague us at least bring some animation to the board.

It's the only place when you can talk about miniature games, rpg's, card games, or any sort of game period, while having random dicussions about MGS, fantasy mangas about cooking monsters, and random drops of /d/ tier fetishism, all of that amidst some delicious grade A weaponized autism.

Overall it still is, and it will always be, the comfiest board around in my eyes.

It is merely representative of /tg/'s main interests. This board did start as a cancerous emanation of 40k threads on /b/, after all.

Sadly, /tg/ isn't /b/.

But it could be more like it, if we spend more time posting cam-girl threads and dank /frogl/tier threads everywhere ! Also, let's not report and ignore random bait thread wherever they pops up anymore !
You are right - we should turn this pretty ok board into a real sea of piss, instead. Let's get to work right now !

>not complaining about the fact that we get dozens of threads about WH every day even though there are like four or five generals dedicated to it
In all fairness, the game's going through the biggest lore and gameplay changes it's seen in probably a decade. The story's actually going somewhere now and the rules are getting redesigned from the ground up. There's gonna be a lot of discussion on it, for better or worse.
>not complaining that the whole board was overrun by shitposters and it's almost impossible to tell nowadays when you're having an actual discussion with someone or you're just wasting your time replying to bait
I think a lot of it comes down to people willingly responding to obvious bait posts. Shit that would get sagebombed a few years ago now gets 200+ guaranteed replies of people who know it's bait and say so themselves, but feel compelled to keep fucking replying to it. It encourages more people to bait because they know they'll get a reaction every time.
>not complaining about the fact that /tg/ has become yet another insufferable /b/-tier sea of piss, because the community has become too big and there is too much noise
/b/ barely even exists anymore. It's all porn threads that would have gotten you banned five years ago. They basically have at least three constant furry threads that might as well be generals amongst a sea of facebook stalker porn threads. We don't have a newfag college anymore so they just swarm the rest of the site in droves without learning anything about site and board culture. It's a fucking mess.

>>53298753
>How does this make you feel?
It makes me feel great. /tg/ used to be all shit and now /tg/ is all shit except /osrg/ and /awg/, so this is a real step up for me.

Plus, this means some measure of containment of the Pathfaggots and GURPlords, which can only ever be good.

Jesus Christ this. Even a pithy response like "here's your (you)" is giving shitposters exactly what they want and encouraging them to keep doing it.

If people just ignored the post or better yet just used the damn report function this board would be a lot better.

Just about every single board on 4chan is /generals general/ now

The biggest issue with generals is the subpar moderation. They need to start actually banning people for flagrantly and repeatedly shitposting.

We need a good mix of everything. Generals, quests, discussion. First thing that needs to happen is to get rid of /qst/ though

>>53298753
Generals are utter cancer. They do nothing but bury actually discussion in a tide of shitposting and encourage people to post when they have nothing to say.

>>53304338
I disagree. I have nothing against the IDEA of quest threads, but before /qst/ there were maybe one or two threads on the front page at any given time that weren't fucking quests.

>>53298753
Honestly, this isn't different from any other board. The only difference is that /tg/ adds "general' to the title. It's really redundant to have multiple threads for the same subject, and in other boards if you create a new thread for the same subject another thread already discusses, you just get told to head to the other thread, reported 'n deleted.

>>53304616

The problem isn't generals so much as the weird tendency of people not to look at all of them. I make a point of clicking on damn near everything to see what going on in the game community.

>>53298753
Since the change I find myself frequenting /tg/ less and less.

The only reason I would visit a general thread is with a specific, probably obscure game related question.

And those don't really pop up for me too often since I can read and comprehend a rule book.

I mostly just popped in for a quest or two and perished the rest of the board while doing so, now my attention is split between two boards and thus I have less to contribute to both.

Of course, the remaining population of /tg/ likely believes that "a questfag had nothing to contribute in the first place".

It's just sort of sad. It lowers the quality of both qst and tg.

Quests aren't gone, they are literally still on this website you just have to click a different thing to get to them.
I really don't understand the problem people have with them having their own board.

Generals are fine as they are, they are just some clutter that is small and tollerable without the additional clutter we had when quests were here.

>How does this make you feel?
I've only been here for three-ish years so it's the same as always. I've filtered quests and I filter generals, So on some days the board just seems to be dead.

I've only seen /cyoag/ go to shit and if /tg/ at large went through a similiar process, the oldfags all have left long ago.
Dear god I hope they're not around to see this.

>>53306088
I didn't care about all the drama that happened back then but now that they are gone I don't mind the change.

Though I do have to admit that if generals got their own board and quests were here to stay I would have felt similar, the quests wouldn't be enough clutter on their own (even if there were overall more of them) for me to complain about them.

Now please explain to me what's supposed to be so bad about quests having their own board.

Right, because the generals aren't discussion of reoccurring /tg/ topics or anything.

>>53299666
>generals kill content
This is completely retarded. If you want to talk about a subject that doesn't fit into a general, or just have a thread all about a single issue, you could just MAKE a new thread that isn't a general.

No one is banning people for making threads on single issues that could have been included in a general.

>people bitching about quest removal

I don't think I'll ever get tired of your tears. Quests were not traditional game discussion and now they have their own board so basically I don't know who you're trying to convince. You'll never get anyone to accept your revisionist history, Quests were fine at first when they were rare, but after a while they weren't rare, they annoying, off-topic, and far too numerous.

I spit on Naruto Quest and Bleach Quest's grave.

I only frequent /awg/ and /hwg/, which is fine in my book because these games had absolutely no traction on this board. Their threads were just drowned out by gazillion 40k and quest threads. Now we have no quests, a bunch of generals and a million of 40k threads, so there's even space for the occasional different thing.
Could be better, but it's fine in my book, I just click on what interests me and ignore the other stuff, which is a vast improvement over two years ago, when there was absolutely nothing here that I wanted to read.

The generals aren't that numerous and the catalog mitigate this issue tremendously. If you are not using it and filters you are severely retarded and have no right to complain. These tools are for you and made specifically for this, use them.

And you guys really have to shut up about /tg/ ''clogging up'' with generals (and back then, quests). Your broad exaggerations are harmful, especially those first-page real estate rant.

>>53307183
The reason Qst is dead has to do with density and quantity.

Specifically when Quests were part of /tg/ there was a higher barrier to entry so to speak. The idea that your thread would be competing with both established quality Quests, and general board traffic mostly prevented quest authors from starting threads about moronic /b/ tier fluff. Mostly.

On /qst/ this is not the case. Therefore you have people posting whatever blatantly cringe worthy bullshit they choose. Because hey, there's an entire board after all.

This creates a situation where you either just follow the stuff you remember from /tg/, or you have to hunt through an entire board looking for gems.

It's more effort, and thus less people take the time. Hence slower. Slower posts and less participation discourages QMs who often drop otherwise good Quests because they feel frustrated.

This is made worse still by the sheer number of Quests. An entire board of Quests competing for posts and attention means that 6-8 posters is considered good.

Believe me, I dislike random anime quest 8 billion as well. But /tg/ isn't really enhanced by the loss.

This anon >>53306777

Hypothetically speaking, if you were a Vampire: the Masquerade fan, do you think that threads about VtM would be more engaging on /tg/, or on a special /vamp/ board to which all vampire-related threads from /x/, /tv/, /a/, and /co/ were herded?

Someone could technically make a VtM thread on /vamp/, but the audience on /tg/ will be a better fit. Similarly, quest threads are more fun on /tg/ than /qst/ because the users of /tg/ are more engaged in roleplaying than users of other boards.

This is why people have denigrating /qst/ since its creation.

There's anime waifu bait, and then there's shit like this.
>>>/qst/1448783

Or "be a shota" or "be a man-slave" or the like.

Qst has a lower bar than tg ever did. At least those anime waifu Quests had to have comprehensible grammar and spelling.

And the genuinely good Quests are being choked to death. House Malroy stopped running. It killed revenge and gold man. I don't care how much you hate waifu faggotry you can't agree with that.

>>53308482

to verify your claim, I went to /qst/, looked at the the catalogue and several quests that looked suspect.

there were a few minimum effort ones, although one of the ones I thought would be minimum effort from the catalogue actually turned out to be quite nice (deadquest)

However, by far and away there's tons of quality content on there, I do not understand or agree with your conclusion that "genuinely good Quests are being choked to death".

There's five different quests with over 700 posts. One has over 1000 posts. One has over 1500!! All over the post limit, but all still in the catalogue.

Therefore, I must conclude that your assertion is false, and urge you to have a tiny bit more faith in /qst/

Because /tg/ is under threat of being invaded on two fronts by the /sp/ and /toy/ menace. Soon /sp/ will start shoving us in lockers and /toy/ will steal our precious miniatures.

They weren't popular. They just got bumped all the time by three or four Magical realming autismos

>>53310180
The big quests regularly hit hundreds of unique IPs, anon.
As opposed to the anti-quest threads, which never breached around 12 IPs.

>>53310180
Why do antiquestfags lie like this, I wonder?

Why do questfags lie like this, I wonder?

>>53310299
Anon, even with diminished post counts, some popular quests are at over a hundred unique IPs right now.
And that's after more than a 30% cut.

Like, do you just do not research at all, or do you do research and then actively say the opposite thing to confuse people?

>>53304616
I am for quests being in their own boards, where they compete with related content

>on the front page
but this is fucking retarded m8, there's a catalog and archive one fucking click away

I mean it's got g in the name

>but this is fucking retarded m8, there's a catalog and archive one fucking click away
People who claim quest threads "clogged up /tg/" are obviously too retarded to use the native filter features.

>but when I filter all the threads I don't like, /tg/ looks empty!
That's not a problem?

>>53307183
/qa/ and propaganda. I didn't like quests being herded on /tg/, since it forced people with other interests here, but that's what happened.

It makes me sad.

>>53310526
/pol/ is a paper tiger, the best they can hope to carry out is minor raids and individual attacks. One guy implying that GW are Jews or that blacks aren't people isn't a threat.

>>53308482
>comprehensible grammar
That's a big claim here.
I remember checking OPs of quests at some point. 2/3rd couldn't distinguish between "its" and "it's"

>>53310681
Or shitting up threads that are actually good with their retarded bullshit.

>>53310526
>not recognizing humor

>>53310681
that's something about generals too. You don't need many shitters, /pol/ or not, to raise the signal to noise ratio.

>>53298753
I would take quests over generals.

Don't mind me.

Well, that's what happens when you make an offshoot board of a slow ass place like /tg/.

>>53306885
You are clueless about quests, both the size of their audience and why people play them.

So does quest have any rules system for playing a team game? Can I go on a dungeon crawl with others?

>>53299666
what

"muh system-specific general isn't the best place to ask about muh subject because it isn't a subject specific general"

That's literally the dumbest thing on /tg/ today. It might be the dumbest thing not on /qst/ too.

>>53300000
The projects were just a group of dedicated autists pretending they were all of /tg/ when in reality most of us were ignoring them and their "awesome" "settings."

You're waxing nostalgic for the Jetsons.

>>53312627
>>53312710
Man, they literally never stop whining about quests, do they?

>>53312701
Might aswell give a look to Gamefinder and find a game at this point.

>>53312757
Nah.
That's sort of their gimmick.
Bitch about quests for decades of their life.

>>53306383
Yes, we're aware quests aren't a self-supporting thread type and require more active boards to leech off of.

That's why we gave their own board.

We wanted them to die.

We wanted you to die. On the inside.

>>53312839
Well, yeah, everyone that wasn't playing dumb knew that is what the contention was about.

>>53312765
Thanks, I was hoping they copied the pastel horse board and came up with a system.

>>53312865
Too bad they had to be liars about it and drum up fake reasons like clutter.
Ah well, it was shown to work, so they're doing it as much as they can until it doesn't work any more. Time for a decade of bitching about generals!

>>53312865
The reason quest threads were quarantined actually had more to do with the fact that /tg/ was always meant to be a place to discuss traditional games. As something pretty specific to 4chan culture and, definitionally not traditional as a result, they were only marginally acceptable on /tg/ and that was only until they started overwhelming the actual traditional game discussion threads.

Yes, it looks like /tg/ is less active (it isn't), but that's only because the quest threads aren't multiplying like crazy, dropping general threads off the front page and then quickly off the board entirely.

We do have like 3 or 4 WH40k threads right now, but 40kids are a bit retarded and /tg/ was really created with them in mind.

We often have multiple D&D or "have you tried not playing D&D" threads going on, too.

Things we couldn't have when every sperglord with a bad idea was creating their own quest. Now we get to see all of those bad quest thread ideas over on /qst/ and it's clear we're not missing out on anything.

>>53312998
The reason quests were quarantined had very little to nothing to do with any grand reason, and everything to do with petty grudges and tribalism.

>>53298753
Anyone else notice that everything other than generals is pure shitposts on this board?
I mean, look at this thread.

>>53312998
The reason why quest threads were quarantined was because the mod who created /qst/ doesn't like quest threads.

Hopefully in the near future, a new mod will take over who likes having quest threads on /tg/.

>>53313011
"These are not traditional games and thus do not belong on the traditional games board" is not tribalism, anon.

>>53313040
4chan's on the downwards slope either way.
I mean, fuck, have you seen the ads we have around here nowadays?

>>53313040
The chances of that are nil.

You have at least 40 more years of quests being banished.

>>53313054

created.

>>53313081
>That bit was one of the smokescreens
Stop.

To say something literally isn't within scope of the board is not a smokescreen. It is saying something literally isn't within the scope of the board.

Stop trying to gaslight the decision to remove a disruptive influence that didn't fit within the scope of the board.

>>53313115
See, your argument about it not being within the scope of the board would imply those quests that were literally table top games being played would still be allowed.
The decision had nothing to do with whether they were related to the board for these reasons.

>>53313134
That's what's known as "collateral damage."

Before, playing RISK on /tg/ would have been acceptable because there was no other board, /b/ aside, where that would have been literally outlined as acceptable.

Now there's /qst/, where that's literally outlined as appropriate.

Do you not get how this works?

Are you the kind of anon who doesn't know how to zipper merge?

>>53313186
If things that are /tg/ related are booted off, we can deduce the change was not based on /tg/ relatedness.
You falling into personal attacks doesn't change this.

>>53313210
>If things that are /tg/ related are booted off, we can deduce the change was not based on /tg/ relatedness.
This doesn't follow.

If I run a bar that serves wine and decide to stop serving wine because the winos were ruining the atmosphere, it doesn't cease to be a bar. It ceases to be a wino bar.

I'm trying to figure out why you're so stupid, anon.

>>53313262
That metaphor doesn't actually hold any relation to or follow from this discussion.
If things that are /tg/ related are booted off, then that means the change was based on factors other than /tg/ relatedness. It would necessarily have to be.

>>53313262
See, the problem here is you are arguing wine isn't bar related, when it is.
What you should be saying is you just don't want wine even though it is bar related.
That would probably fix your metaphor, but would rely on you being substantially more honest.

>>53313284
>>53313300
You're not longer attempting to argue in good faith.

Enjoy your vacations.

>>53313352
I dunno, you're trying to argue against a pretty clear logical stance using false metaphors peppered with insults, and then jumping to announcing your reports.

>weaponized autism
We got civilian grade autism compared to /pol/ military grade autism

>>53312757
Wait, wait, wait. This thread is filled with questfags whining that they got shipped to the ghetto and you are attacking the one guy who says "Good riddance."

Cognitive dissonance much?

>>53313934
Questfags have a fresh thing to whine about, those guys have a thing they're still whining about despite already winning.

I have to keep updating their whine counter when estimating how long the questfags will whine for because they never stop whining.

>>53313934
Because the people that like quests are /tg/ posters and still use /tg/

>>53314266
Your point being? The same goes for people who dislike quests. You don't think the anti-quest crowd evaporated to /a/ or /b/ once /qst/ got made do you?

>>53314324
Not that guy, but they seem mostly interested in shitposting and bitching about generals now.

Good work going for the easier to dispute post though.

>>53313262
>Food analogies.
Fuck it. Burn this shitty board to the ground.

>>53313352
Announcing a report is against the rules.

>>53313934
>This thread is filled with questfags
That's because /tg/ is filled with questfags. Quests have always been very popular on /tg/.

>>53314324
The point being that you shouldn't be surprised when questfags protest their removal in a metathread because they were /tg/ posters and not some minority that stuck only to quest threads as anti-questfags were claiming during /qst/'s creation
