And yes, no incantatrix for you. Or anyone. That class makes puppies cry. Mostly because they are the former Big Bads who have been Baleful Polymorphed into said puppies. By you. Because you're an incantatrix.

Quote from Concerning breeding habits of humans in fantasy games »
I suppose it's true. Though the logistics implied in a human/Great Wyrm Prismatic Dragon pairing makes me shudder.
...Something tells me that even should all arcane casters in the world unite, that the Grease spell would NOT be sufficient.
So you've given me license to invade your country and murder Mams? I'll have to mark that one down for future reference in case you annoy me for some reason. A stored comment from an internet forum tops actual laws in an argument, right?
(SIDENOTE: I am also being completely sardonic, in case somebody actually thinks I'm plotting to kill Mamelon in a poorly-conceived vengeance pact for no good reason.)
I'm afraid I had to vote against you in the Funniest Member poll, though. I hoped my sterling act of self-sacrifice would be enough to convince the braying masses that truth, justice, and the Salvation way would be enough to triumph over the evil forces of the KoffeeHaus (being German makes it more evil, obviously), led by their wicked commanders who question the very boundaries of sexuality and gender.
I should hope so. After all, what happens on the internet is perhaps more real than real life, because in real life there isn't a little counter that keeps track of how many times you say something. And by all means, I would LOVE it if you would kill Mamelon. Even though I love her, I feel it is important that we do all we can to keep her from receiving votes and turning everyone into attention-grabbing nuts who only do these things because they seek to destroy society as a whole with their lunatic "gender" nonsense. Clearly, that is what REALLY is underfoot here. Either that, or some sort of Lovecraftian murder cult. Either way, someone HAS to die, and it might as well be someone in the noted minority. I would do it myself, but as we have all no doubt learned from X-Men, the powers of siblings do not work on one another, and as such I am impotent against her.
As far as voting, you'll find I don't really care. I've gone in and made my obligatory votes for family members and close friends (which, despite contrary opinion, is my freaking prerogative and entirely within my rights as a member of this site), but that's about it. I was sort of surprised to find I was nominated again this year, since I feel like I've shifted from being the sort of person who is known for being humorous and more known for *****ing and moaning about **** that doesn't really matter in the first place. In fact, I was actually a little miffed to find I was up for best WPL, since I honestly do not deserve it and knew that the fact that I was getting it would A) most likely generate drama in some fashion amongst the grognards of the Collo, and B) lessen Josh's chances of winning. Josh is the only DM in the PNPI to have a successful campaign last as long as Wasted City did, and I know for a fact that he stayed more on top of his campaigns than any of the rest of us did, and so I really feel he deserves his award- so to see my name up there, soaking up votes for others who by all accounts deserve them more, makes me a little irate.
But then again, everything makes me irate- traffic, weather, small animals, Alacar's posting, tiny sounds inaudible to the human ear...

To be fair, Josh, you deserved the WPL nomination if nothing else.
On another note, disliking someone for being transgender is like disliking a dead celebrity for being dead. You don't understand what it's like in the first place and derogatory comments like "well they only honored him because he's freakin' DEAD" just make you look like a jackass.
I hate the X-Men. Not only did they dare to spawn 3 films where James Marsden got paid (seriously, that guy must be good in bed to keep getting work, as my wardrobe has more acting talent)...
Well in that respect I think he was perfect to play Scott Summers
I was always busier looking at Hugh Jackman in a wifebeater to worry about ol' red-eye anyway. Seriously, he's an aussie, a really sweet guy, and is now the real-life incarnation of Wolverine in my imagination. This was candyland for my hormones.
I hate the X-Men. Not only did they dare to spawn 3 films where James Marsden got paid (seriously, that guy must be good in bed to keep getting work, as my wardrobe has more acting talent), but they go ahead and prevent me from getting someone else to carry out my nefarious acts of murder.
BUT THEN THE FORUM AWARDS ARE ALL QUESTIONABLE BECAUSE IT'S JUST A BIG POPULARITY CONTEST AND IT'S NOT A TRUE REFLECTION OF HOW IMPORTANT EVERYONE IS AND THE WORLD WILL EXPLODE IN A GIANT FIREBALL AND ONLY THOSE WHO FEED ON RADIOACTIVE HUMAN FLESH EVERY SECOND WEDNESDAY WILL BE ABLE TO SURVIVE.
Yeah, if there's one thing we can learn from the Forum Awards, it's that something rewarding Alacar for posting can only ever be considered as utterly beyond salvation.
(Did you all see what I did there? A clever Salvation pun? No?
I hate you all.)
I don't know, he looks like he would be good in bed. Rather, I think I would enjoy sleeping with him. Also, he has nice lips, but that's taking the conversation in a decidely "not-here" sort of direction.
Also, you may lose points with the cult, but you're gaining heavy favor in the anti-alacar faction. Well, it isn't so much a faction as it is just me, sitting around in my boxers and making nasty jabs at someone else because I was bullied on the playground, but you're still earning favor with it, so shut the hell up.
This was candyland for my hormones.

wow looks like everyone has been talking alot in here thats just awesome!
@zaphod: I really like the banner seems pretty awesome to me zaphod!
Here is another deck i have been working on its based off of funkbrew which my teammate and I have been working on for a couple of years. I threw this deck together and decided to give this a whirl and surprisingly it has about an even match versus threshold but thats' because discard hurts them considerably and this deck has a little more threats as well. Also in the side has gaddock teeg to nullify their force of wills which can be huge and as well as having krosan grips to cream their counterbalances. Without further notice here is my list.
Extirpate: Counteract cephalid breakfast and absolutely can nullify any blue control based deck.
Phyrexian negator: You have these from the board so you can outrace control decks and put a quick clock on combo.
Umezawa's jitte: Probably one of those mirror-breaker type of cards that can give you the edge versus most aggro decks.
Thoughtseize: Nabs goyfs and one of the best black spells we have today since hymn to tourach in my opinion.
Spectral lynx and river boa: Both of them have specialist evasion capabilities that make blue threshold unable to block these guys and you can pretty much go to town with jittes on them too.
Anyway just wanted to share with you that little project of mine it isn't much but I think it has alot of potential to be a good contender in a varied metagame in legacy. I just love throwing decks together though and playing against netdeckers.
This entire discussion has been the highlight of my birthday.
That's a comfort, actually, because I was honestly expecting the exact opposite reaction O_o;;
In other news, lookie here! It's the Obsidian Portal page for my new campaign. I was pretty slow updating it to begin with, but once the ball got rolling it got to be pretty fun to do. I have the whole story encapsulated so far as well as a lot of auxiliary data. People familiar with a campaign I ran in the Inn for a while will notice some similar names and places, I think, and that's all just part of the fun.
Also, if anyone joins OP, feel free to vote for my campaign. I'm not a fan of the voting thing, but I do like to be encouraged.
I just got back to college and am starting to do homework. I got to see all my friends before I left, so that was cool. Sleeping in until 10:30 is also nice. Very interesting discussion today, although I have nothing to add to it.
Happy Birthday Tanthalas, even if its a bit late.. Sorry I never posted that this morning.... My aunt actually took me out driving in her red porsche along the Florida coastline.. that was FUN...
I'm not used to doing that kind of fancy schmancy stuff, my aunt was a realtor and stuff so she was showing me all these fancy condominiums and how she worked for the Ginn company and all kinds of stuff.... then she showed me her old house by Flagler Beach, and we stopped for ice cream just across the street from the ocean... But yea, that was interesting, I've never ridden in a Porsche before.. let alone a shiny red one..... O.O
Anyway, how's life for everyone?? Sorry, I don't mean to seem to dwell on the stuff that happened to me today or anything, just kind of sharin' w/ y'all the experience.... I don't think i'll ever have that experience again lol... Well, unless i visit my aunt again, or she decides to take me out again.. lol.
My aunt was making a big deal bout the fact that I don't shave my legs.. I don't do it, because its just.... Its my decision, y'know?? But she kept harpin' on me, sayin' it was feminine hygiene, and I just... eh... I do it when its a real special occasion or somethin', rather than an everyday occurrence. I feel like its my decision, and I feel like I should do it when I feel it is deserved, or I especially want to make a very different impression than I normally do. I'm especially balking because I have only shaved once every 5 months or so, and usually only for special, special occasions, such as Ryan's and my anniversary, or a special date, or something like that... I just feel like, especially now, if I were to do it, I would almost be forsaking his memory... because at this point, i'm not looking for someone, and I don't particularly have anyone I wish to impress, and I feel like if someone is overly concerned about it, then they can just suck it up and not get to know me... I guess.. Do you understand what I'm saying?? Its something I feel quite strongly about, I guess.... and just feeling like the only time I would ever do it is for a guy, especially ryan.. I just don't want to throw that away on some random incident.... y'know? I dunno, maybe I'm seeming silly.
Anyway.. The Half-Life campaign that Alacar has up is going pretty quickly and fun, I'm excited for the way its appearing, and I like the way my character is coming out so far...
By the way, does anyone here frequent the Personal Writing forums?? Any thoughts on them?? Anyplace in there I should definitely check out, or should avoid??
I hope this was enough to get some conversation started up in here again;)
I had a really fun thanksgiving weekend, playing mass effect a lot (but not enough, because I had to work friday and saturday, and today I had to go to church twice. Now my friend who got the game yesterday is farther than me :(.) Keeping all of your party members is harder than I expected...

Hello coffee-things. *yawn* I need to get some sleep. There's not been a whole lot that I'd like to reply to, but I am glad to see Photon is still his same old self. I've been spending too much time on anime-planet lately, and even started writing recommendations. I might start adding anime to their database yet even, given that I have some of the series on their wishlist. Scary.
@Omna: I wouldn't worry about the shaving thing. There are times when things are really just up to personal discretion, and this is one of those. I wouldn't think it's really any of her business. I certainly wouldn't go around telling other guys how to shave.
yikes im in a close battle with iceman for hte extended nomination voting

btw kevin im really not sold on thoughtsieze in legacy, i still find therapy far better in most situationse
edit: sonata arctica has 2 songss i like "False News Travel Fast" and "Full Moon"
heh i never really compared thoughseize to cabal therapy I really meant on a first come first serve thoughtseize and hymn to tourach are the best. Besides why not just play with both therapy and thoughtseize its something that I was thinking about doing ever since thoughtseize was printed. Working 8 hours a day is pretty hard to find time to test extensively these days but when i was in college i would test for long hours everyday. However during the mid to late game cabal therapy can be strictly better then any other discard spell in the format so I agree with you in that case. I would very much rather take consistency over versatility though. Besides gaddock teeg has alot of the same functions as cabal therapy have against just about any combo deck in the format but at the sametime it can be better.
anyway i just got back from work and im going to go eat some stuff ill talk to you all later though have a good night everyone! By the way I would like to thank everyone again for voting for me it is greatly appreciated!

Omna-- Don't worry about it, it is your decision, and what you say makes complete sense. I would always walk home a certain way when I had my first girlfriend, and when we broke up, I walked home an entirely different way, because I thought of her when I walked home the first way. I think it's something like that. My life goes strangely, slow and fast at the same time. The days seem to drag on, yet this academic quarter has gone by really fast, it seems. It's over in about two and a half weeks, then a break of about three weeks. Never been to the personal writing forums, though.
@hunter44: well goodluck with your college course work!
I did some playtesting with my funkybrew zoo deck against the following combo decks in legacy. I find out that discard with gaddock teeg can do wonders as well.
Gaddock teeg versus iggy pop: Basically teeg can act like the potent meddling mage against this deck shutting off tendrils of agony and also the new addition of empty of the warrens. With discard and also extirpate/leyline of the void you can basically stop or at least slow down their ill gotten gains with lions eye diamond loop.
Gaddock Teeg versus Cephalid breakfast: Teeg prevents the breakfast player from doing a turn 3 dread return 20/20 sutured ghoul with haste. Which means that teeg can basically force cephalid breakfast to play a bad version of threshold until they can actually get rid of teeg but more power to you then.
Gaddock teeg versus the epic storm combo: This deck tends to not handle discard too well from my previous testing against this deck with funkbrew. Discard provides the role to give you answers to their outs against teeg. You can win games with the beats in this deck as well as stabalizing with teeg as in preventing them from casting empty the warrens/tendrils of agony as previously mentioned.
Anyhow I just wanted to say goodnight to you all and this will probably be my last post for tonight. Have a great night everyone and sweetdreams!
My husband ran, in his nice little world where the religions of the world have decided that anyone who isn't a straight wizard or sorcerer is practicing heretical magic and must be burned for witchcraft. Well, I play a warlock...Ouch, right? Well, this is set in the Realms, where one of our party (an NPC, technically, but still a member) got captured by the Zhents. So in our foolishness, the party of three plus a grimlock who wandered out of the Underdark decided to break into the stronghold. Plan #1 failed- I went on a window spree, firing random eldritch blast into the place. Plan # 2 was a bit more successful- cut down tree, use tree to batter door down- but it took so long that they were ready for us: ten fighters and three wizards (evokers?) who decided to triple-fireball the party as soon as the door cracked open. My character was safe from this, as I tend to stay out of melee (with an 8 Str I had better :() but the dwarf knight and the paladin failed the heck out of their saves, getting burnt as hell. One Lay on Hands later, they got whipped by the fighters...I had blasted 2 out of 3 wizards (woo hoo +5d6 EB) yet they all still fell. My character is CN. I respect the dwarf, though, think of him like a father...yet I still went invisible and ran like hell.
So it ended with everyone in the party but me being captured and enslaved. This sucks.
In other news, I still have the head cold from hell, I need to get my van fixed (temperature gauge on the radiator is shot) and my kids are currently complaining at me, so I'll go for now
And yes, no incantatrix for you. Or anyone. That class makes puppies cry. Mostly because they are the former Big Bads who have been Baleful Polymorphed into said puppies. By you. Because you're an incantatrix.

Wow that sounded like a fun but frustrating D&D day, quick nerdy question: whats the level of your Warlock and what Eldricht Shape+Essence did you use to take out the Evokers? personally im a fan of vitriolic+chain in group castings (if the level is high enough if not chain+either rime or the fire blast...feeling sleepy), and spear+X essence followed by the dimensional door invocation for long range encounters

I have been a member of this site since the "Great Migration of 2005" from MTGNews. I'm sure that many of you have been as well. At News and Salvation there were/are small groups of people that have come together through mutual interests to form what are known as clans. These clans usually consist of anywhere between 8-15 people, who then form a close knit bond with each other. This close knit bond unifies a team. The team would then work together and support each other in contests and activities. The closeness and exclusivity of the clan would be seen by others as something they wanted to be a part of. Not everyone was a member. Not everyone could be a member. Some people would form their own clan to be a part of the "Clan Forum". This created a healty competition. Sometimes friendly....sometimes not, but always fun. Since the creation of this Coffee House that you refer to as an "over-clan", that passion has died. It has become a 2-2 tie in soccer, "because we don't want to hurt the feelings of the other team, so everyone is a winner!!!"
Now....for most there is nothing wrong with that. It's nice that everyone feels included. But that isn't a clan. I read the opening page of your thread and I can't disagree more with your claim that these threads are spam free! You don't acknowledge everyone. There are people that post in here and never get a response. That isn't all welcoming....that's a high school clique that says "We're friends with everyone....but just don't talk to us when we're together." There are maybe six people that dominate the conversation in here and then ignore the rest of the posters who try to get involved. You even have an Admin in here spamming. And you can't tell me that post #1282 isn't complete spam.
I truely believe that this thread should moved out of the clan forums. It is nothing but a General Discussion thread that isn't involved at all with any of the clan activities on this site. I don't believe that it doesn't deserve a place on this site...I just think it doesn't belong here.
I'm not the only one with this opinion........

Hi Jonny, I really dont know what to say to your post man... its your right to see the clans in that light and no one can say you dont have the right to express your opinion about that house...
You say the passion of the Clans has died because this "over-clan" killed or muffled it, why is that? all the house does is offer a place where people of different clans can stop by, relax and talk to other people who either dont belong to their clan or to any clan at all, in a relatively calm enviroment.
Sure some posts dont get a follow up (I should know, it happens to me a lot), but sometimes people who post here are not expecting a follow up, sometimes they like to come here and vent out their stress in hopes of their friends support, and isnt a clan a group of people with either same interests or same views of some matters? You cant expect everyone to have the same interests or views, thats why theres so many clans, this House however is for people that share a similar trait, the desire to relax and enjoy a nice conversation.
That sounds like a clan to me, of course its a very broad clan and that means anyone can post, thats why theres regulations regarding the "dont insult peoples feelings, we are all winners" type of vibe. The house was founded as a Clan that does not contain an A-list of members and VIP's, it is a place where we do not discriminate people for their race, religion, sexual orientation, belief, or ethics, as long as we all agree in respecting one another (or at least being considerate) we are all welcomed here. This in my views is one of the best ideas for forming a community.
If this house is such a concern to you and others then you are in your right to say so, but to say we are the cause other clans have lost their competitive passion is a fallacy, if you want to be competitive nobody stops you, its each clans responsibility to maintain said passion.
If you believe the house should be move to the General Talk Forum then you can talk to mods and admins about it and let them decide, I however dont see how a place who brings people together in the essence of friendship to share their experiences and problems CANNOT be considered a clan, or community.
Just my opinion of course (which im pretty sure will get posted over :D)

But yea, that was interesting, I've never ridden in a Porsche before.. let alone a shiny red one..... O.O
Anyway, how's life for everyone?? Sorry, I don't mean to seem to dwell on the stuff that happened to me today or anything, just kind of sharin' w/ y'all the experience.... I don't think i'll ever have that experience again lol... Well, unless i visit my aunt again, or she decides to take me out again.. lol.
My aunt was making a big deal bout the fact that I don't shave my legs.. I don't do it, because its just.... Its my decision, y'know?? But she kept harpin' on me, sayin' it was feminine hygiene, and I just... eh... I do it when its a real special occasion or somethin', rather than an everyday occurrence. I feel like its my decision, and I feel like I should do it when I feel it is deserved, or I especially want to make a very different impression than I normally do. I'm especially balking because I have only shaved once every 5 months or so, and usually only for special, special occasions, such as Ryan's and my anniversary, or a special date, or something like that... I just feel like, especially now, if I were to do it, I would almost be forsaking his memory... because at this point, i'm not looking for someone, and I don't particularly have anyone I wish to impress, and I feel like if someone is overly concerned about it, then they can just suck it up and not get to know me... I guess.. Do you understand what I'm saying?? Its something I feel quite strongly about, I guess.... and just feeling like the only time I would ever do it is for a guy, especially ryan.. I just don't want to throw that away on some random incident.... y'know? I dunno, maybe I'm seeming silly.
Anyway.. The Half-Life campaign that Alacar has up is going pretty quickly and fun, I'm excited for the way its appearing, and I like the way my character is coming out so far...
By the way, does anyone here frequent the Personal Writing forums?? Any thoughts on them?? Anyplace in there I should definitely check out, or should avoid??
I hope this was enough to get some conversation started up in here again;)
Magic Coffeehouse!
Come in, sit down, relax, get to know somebody!

@Omna: I wouldn't worry about the shaving thing. There are times when things are really just up to personal discretion, and this is one of those. I wouldn't think it's really any of her business. I certainly wouldn't go around telling other guys how to shave.
anyways i just finished powering through macross plus the non-ova 4 episode version
yoko kanno should win an award. unreal
heh i never really compared thoughseize to cabal therapy I really meant on a first come first serve thoughtseize and hymn to tourach are the best. Besides why not just play with both therapy and thoughtseize its something that I was thinking about doing ever since thoughtseize was printed. Working 8 hours a day is pretty hard to find time to test extensively these days but when i was in college i would test for long hours everyday. However during the mid to late game cabal therapy can be strictly better then any other discard spell in the format so I agree with you in that case. I would very much rather take consistency over versatility though. Besides gaddock teeg has alot of the same functions as cabal therapy have against just about any combo deck in the format but at the sametime it can be better.
anyway i just got back from work and im going to go eat some stuff ill talk to you all later though have a good night everyone! By the way I would like to thank everyone again for voting for me it is greatly appreciated!
Love,
Cecilia

Lewis Black is awesome.
And I'm off to bed. Good night, everyone.
I did some playtesting with my funkybrew zoo deck against the following combo decks in legacy. I find out that discard with gaddock teeg can do wonders as well.
Gaddock teeg versus iggy pop: Basically teeg can act like the potent meddling mage against this deck shutting off tendrils of agony and also the new addition of empty of the warrens. With discard and also extirpate/leyline of the void you can basically stop or at least slow down their ill gotten gains with lions eye diamond loop.
Gaddock Teeg versus Cephalid breakfast: Teeg prevents the breakfast player from doing a turn 3 dread return 20/20 sutured ghoul with haste. Which means that teeg can basically force cephalid breakfast to play a bad version of threshold until they can actually get rid of teeg but more power to you then.
Gaddock teeg versus the epic storm combo: This deck tends to not handle discard too well from my previous testing against this deck with funkbrew. Discard provides the role to give you answers to their outs against teeg. You can win games with the beats in this deck as well as stabalizing with teeg as in preventing them from casting empty the warrens/tendrils of agony as previously mentioned.
Anyhow I just wanted to say goodnight to you all and this will probably be my last post for tonight. Have a great night everyone and sweetdreams!
Love,
Cecilia
My husband ran, in his nice little world where the religions of the world have decided that anyone who isn't a straight wizard or sorcerer is practicing heretical magic and must be burned for witchcraft. Well, I play a warlock...Ouch, right? Well, this is set in the Realms, where one of our party (an NPC, technically, but still a member) got captured by the Zhents. So in our foolishness, the party of three plus a grimlock who wandered out of the Underdark decided to break into the stronghold.
Plan #1 failed- I went on a window spree, firing random eldritch blast into the place.
Plan # 2 was a bit more successful- cut down tree, use tree to batter door down- but it took so long that they were ready for us: ten fighters and three wizards (evokers?) who decided to triple-fireball the party as soon as the door cracked open. My character was safe from this, as I tend to stay out of melee (with an 8 Str I had better :() but the dwarf knight and the paladin failed the heck out of their saves, getting burnt as hell. One Lay on Hands later, they got whipped by the fighters...I had blasted 2 out of 3 wizards (woo hoo +5d6 EB) yet they all still fell.
My character is CN.
I respect the dwarf, though, think of him like a father...yet I still went invisible and ran like hell.
So it ended with everyone in the party but me being captured and enslaved. This sucks.
In other news, I still have the head cold from hell, I need to get my van fixed (temperature gauge on the radiator is shot) and my kids are currently complaining at me, so I'll go for now

Wow that sounded like a fun but frustrating D&D day, quick nerdy question: whats the level of your Warlock and what Eldricht Shape+Essence did you use to take out the Evokers? personally im a fan of vitriolic+chain in group castings (if the level is high enough if not chain+either rime or the fire blast...feeling sleepy), and spear+X essence followed by the dimensional door invocation for long range encounters
I have been a member of this site since the "Great Migration of 2005" from MTGNews. I'm sure that many of you have been as well. At News and Salvation there were/are small groups of people that have come together through mutual interests to form what are known as clans. These clans usually consist of anywhere between 8-15 people, who then form a close knit bond with each other. This close knit bond unifies a team. The team would then work together and support each other in contests and activities. The closeness and exclusivity of the clan would be seen by others as something they wanted to be a part of. Not everyone was a member. Not everyone could be a member. Some people would form their own clan to be a part of the "Clan Forum". This created a healty competition. Sometimes friendly....sometimes not, but always fun. Since the creation of this Coffee House that you refer to as an "over-clan", that passion has died. It has become a 2-2 tie in soccer, "because we don't want to hurt the feelings of the other team, so everyone is a winner!!!"
Now....for most there is nothing wrong with that. It's nice that everyone feels included. But that isn't a clan. I read the opening page of your thread and I can't disagree more with your claim that these threads are spam free! You don't acknowledge everyone. There are people that post in here and never get a response. That isn't all welcoming....that's a high school clique that says "We're friends with everyone....but just don't talk to us when we're together." There are maybe six people that dominate the conversation in here and then ignore the rest of the posters who try to get involved. You even have an Admin in here spamming. And you can't tell me that post #1282 isn't complete spam.
I truely believe that this thread should moved out of the clan forums. It is nothing but a General Discussion thread that isn't involved at all with any of the clan activities on this site. I don't believe that it doesn't deserve a place on this site...I just think it doesn't belong here.
I'm not the only one with this opinion........
You say the passion of the Clans has died because this "over-clan" killed or muffled it, why is that? all the house does is offer a place where people of different clans can stop by, relax and talk to other people who either dont belong to their clan or to any clan at all, in a relatively calm enviroment.
Sure some posts dont get a follow up (I should know, it happens to me a lot), but sometimes people who post here are not expecting a follow up, sometimes they like to come here and vent out their stress in hopes of their friends support, and isnt a clan a group of people with either same interests or same views of some matters? You cant expect everyone to have the same interests or views, thats why theres so many clans, this House however is for people that share a similar trait, the desire to relax and enjoy a nice conversation.
That sounds like a clan to me, of course its a very broad clan and that means anyone can post, thats why theres regulations regarding the "dont insult peoples feelings, we are all winners" type of vibe. The house was founded as a Clan that does not contain an A-list of members and VIP's, it is a place where we do not discriminate people for their race, religion, sexual orientation, belief, or ethics, as long as we all agree in respecting one another (or at least being considerate) we are all welcomed here. This in my views is one of the best ideas for forming a community.
If this house is such a concern to you and others then you are in your right to say so, but to say we are the cause other clans have lost their competitive passion is a fallacy, if you want to be competitive nobody stops you, its each clans responsibility to maintain said passion.
If you believe the house should be move to the General Talk Forum then you can talk to mods and admins about it and let them decide, I however dont see how a place who brings people together in the essence of friendship to share their experiences and problems CANNOT be considered a clan, or community.
Just my opinion of course (which im pretty sure will get posted over :D)
