@kviiri please, don't get this wrong, but the ".ru" domain on a site for "free games" always trigger my malware sense

Like, you're looking for a version of the conversation where someone says "my pronouns are she/her", and the response is "so is it okay to keep using 'they' for you?", and the short version is: probably not, unless they specifically tell you that it's okay when referring to them.

@GcL sure there is. do what you normally do: address people by their name when you would and, if you'd use a pronoun, use a gender neutral one or guess, and be open to correction. if they do correct you, work with it, using the same energy as if someone had corrected you on how to say their name.

I'm very disappointed this was a pleasant discussion. Shame on all of you.

Too many things I don't agree with. I'm just sticking by Rules as Nautarch Interprets and Make Tableplay Fun.

@ThomasMarkov objection!

@Medix2 Notions. A slowly moving line of them. A loco-notion.

Whoever flagged the post in here, please be aware that we have a strong and good culture around RPGSE of using our words, often and patiently and kindly, and of asking others for help, well before resorting to the badly-designed mechanical tools for moderation provided by the chat interface.

@Ash Well I think you've done plenty to contribute great things and vibes to chat so I wouldn't say we "let" you do anything. You've earned your place in the community as far as I'm concerned.

Flee, fools, before the darkest pits of the Abyss of SharePoint engulf you.

@vicky_molokh I prefer for the work to happen on meta. Chat is fine but is entirely parenthetical to the operation of the site.

Is there a place to get stars? (going to rpg version of verified hat)

There are going to have to be "diplomatic balancing acts." That's not an option moderation gets to take or leave if it's really serious about fixing this. The tightrope has already been rolled out. It's there, and it's not going away. If we're not going to attempt to cross it, the show will not go on.

episode three of the mandolorian came out today and it's making want to be a mando in a starwars campaign even more

@jgn I mean, making a video game that works consistently fine is also a pretty daunting task for all but the simplest games.

@kviiri The DM could be several weasels in a trenchcoat. Look carefully next time!
