A lot of poggers already post in politics fwiw. Sometimes you’ll see like 4 poggers post in a row in threads, which is always kinda fun.

On second thought, I don't really care if there's a POG politics thread or not. The only reason I opened this new thread is because the title caught my eye. I'm perfectly happy ignoring this thread 99% of the time and only opening it when I have a question or want someone's opinion.

CYOA is not ruined. Everyone is going to play and it'll be fine. POG is doing fine. Sometimes people just get....salty.

So congrats. You made your point and caused enough collateral damage that I'm ready to abandon the politics thread--something that I have really enjoyed over the years.

i LOVE talking politics with birdman, eyebooger, kokiri, herbie, crossnerd, booker, soah, chim, bigger, well named, sun tzu, bloo, mark, vr, ak, uncled, uglyd, chips, bobo, wahoo, even TL and amp occasionally wander in

pwns, luckbox, ianaww, master, slighted, and mets i rarely see eye to eye with, but still enjoy posting with them.

seems to me the downsides of the politics thread are few and far between, and very easily avoided.

this

I'm not really interested in the politics subforum but I have enjoyed discussing politics with my pog friends and family

it was in the politics thread i learned to be more self aware of trans issues. and i learned to be more aware of women's issues too. the whole thing with kavenaugh, and miss pog.

i learned about the law of value, and how capitalism needs to go. i think before birdman and the politics thread, i thought capitalism could maybe work.

it also helps me talk to my friends who want to vote for joe biden.

How many players do you think you will need? Maybe ask Thingyman to help you with advertising. Or advertise yourself in the MU server and try to get some people that both on POG and MU to vouch for you (I will be one or them, but IMO you can get many more).

If you need designing help, HMU.

As for CYOA, VR still has a few days to get more players to join.

Is this all a promotional stunt for a new Politics Mishmash?

Kokori doesn't even talk politics, he basically just says things are obviously correct or obviously incorrect and calls you a robot or self delusional if you disagree.

it's cuz the masks and 9/11 and mass shootings. i might have you confused with someone else, but did you want trump to win last election?

and your tolerance of hurtful attitudes like kelhus. that guy who doesn't post in politics thread, but quoted a bunch of kelhus posts in this thread, and you said you didn't see anything wrong with them. they were really hurtful imo. that is a big difference between us.
