yay domer! anyone who grows or changes can be dismissed for having no credibility

Given the arc of the thread, I think people who enjoy the contest need to ready ourselves for its demise.

The regime appears to be hostile to the exclusive celebration of female beauty, feeling animals and men (and possibly inanimate objects) are all being slighted.

The hour reaches nigh where anyone participating will be declared an unperson, a sexual deviant, or worse.

Nominations will now need to be made in encrypted codes and messages.

Votes will be cast in hushed tones under cover of darkness, lest any of the mods or their loyal henchman discover the plot.

Anyone found to be participating will be banned on sight.

Even the winner must be kept a secret; the regime can never discover it.

Miss POG in Exile may be the title henceforth...

Filthy, it is amazing how much you "grew" after a single post.

that's exactly what I said

the politics thread should definitely be closed, if only so the mentally ill regs of this forum might seek treatment instead of wasting time yelling at clouds in there, before inevitably dismembering sex trade workers
(but they totes deserve it amirite)

those comparisons are almost as silly as the comments about thought-crime and orwellian nightmares

While I must say I am not very happy with how MB handled this so far, I remain reasonably confident that he will see that there is no overwhelming majority that wants this game gone, and will not bar the game from running. I think he is a reasonably reasonable person.

And it's not his decision alone anyway; there are other green mods out here.

It's funny how the same people who might call fascism for over-policing re miss pog, call for the closing of the politics thread.

well it's not a game or puzzle

and it offends me greatly

so shut it down posthaste

you disagree? how dare you!

One is a game, the other isn't. But of course,I said that before.
And, answering to your "what does it matter to you" question: I think that thread makes the forum extremely unhealthy. As an active POGger I am interested in POG being a fun place to visit.

fwiw, the birth of Miss POG was "Well, since NSFW pictures of women are no longer allowed on OOT, this contest will replace the Miss OOT contest, only on POG."

And it is your opinion that the inactive poggers like myself who post in the politics thread have made pog a worse place...

I have yet to see anyone provide any substantive arguments that challenges the notion its not a game.

It has all the elements of a game:

• Players
• Competition
• Strategy
• Winners and Losers

I find Sheep offensive, as a family member of mine died in a horrible sheeping accident. Let me create a thread to bitch about it and allow the division and your unfounded accusation of irrelevance to merit banning of the game.

Maybe we shouldn't allow irrational butthurtness to dictate the games we allow in this forum?

Ok...
...
And as per usual on this subforum, no one takes the effort to challenge the substance of my posts.

I've written a lot about feminism, fairness, and the benefits of freedom of choice in this thread, and instead of challenging the merits of my prose, you're basically just trolling me.

Pro-tip: Games INHERENTLY cause controversy. If this bothers you, maybe you should try reading, coloring, or pottery.

Do you have any idea how many werewolf games have caused all sorts of controversy, infractions and bannings? Do you watch sports or competitions at all? All kinds of controversy, rule-breaking, challenges, and arguments about fairness and legitimacy. If you don't like controversy, dont ****ing play games.

Apparently soah thinks this is a good post.

trollololol

No, I said as much prior to you ever calling me out:

Anyway, there's no doubt that my views on topics relating to feminism have become more liberal/radical/whatever over the last few years, so guilty as charged.

the fact that offtopic community threads exist in a forum is completely irrelevant and posts mentioning them as either a defense or point of attack are stupid. use better arguments

VR is awesome and I am glad she posted her thoughts in here.

If you post in the politic thread and don't treat it like a game you have issues

The way these commercials are sexualizing women is disgusting. I hope the anti-miss POG crew has turned off the game

i never turned the game on. i have no interest in the billion dollar distraction.

what do i care which band of muscular millionaires is better at moving the football into their goal

LOL, you don't have a TV to turn on.

i was gonna say "well i could have gone to friend's house to watch" but i don't have a friend either

i can summarize the events of the game in an ongoing pog "game" thread

i'll join in

"the millionaire who raped several women in college just moved the ball! now, they're playing an ad for beer and an ad for the military of usa empire"

i thought that budweiser commercial was really well done actually

dammit, that's more or less what i was going to type!

a millionaire ball smasher just smashed a ball through two posts, some people were happy and some were sad

also coming up a woman will dance around scantily clad and possibly sing about acceptance and diversity
