There are 42 'general' threads on /tg/ right now (the extra 21 are from repeats in the descriptions). 42/150 is 28%. Clearly general threads are overwhelming the board and displacing true /tg/ content.

Thus I humbly propose that General threads be banned, and possibly that a board be made for them, named /gnl/. Given their pervasiveness, it's obvious they have enough of a support base to survive independently from the proper /tg/ community.

And before you claim that I'm an idiot and that general threads would never survive on their own board, I'd like to say that I posted in a general thread back in 2009 once, so I clearly have a full understanding of the modern general community.

Let's make this happen, /tg/!

>>49281589
I'm aware. Given that quests never made up more than 8% of threads in the catalog but were given their own board, I thought that generals, making up 28%, should obviously be granted a board of their own.

This is now Savage Worlds of My Little Pony General.

How well does the Daunt mechanic work? Does it work well as-written or does it need a bit of GM oversight to keep things from being imbalanced?

Bullshit, it wasn't uncommon to see upwards of 20 of them.

Considering a lot of these Generals right now are very new threads, and ones I've never seen before (elf, peasant, etc) I think they were all made by OP just to make this thread more justifiable.

What a thoroughly stupid person you are.

Both untrue and significally fewer than generals.
Good show, generalfags.

Generals are way more board related than Quests though, dumbass. It's not the same comparison

Disgusting.

It's false-flagging 101.

Seen that exact shit when /qst/ began, and the same shit from anti-questers way back when quests started becoming common. And the same shit from people buttmad about any /v/ setting being on /tg/, like the Elder Scrolls or /tg/'s SS13 server.

I'm not defending generals, but that statistic is something that does not exist outside of your imagination.
>>
>>49281579
No. While some generals are undeniably clusterfucks, other generals are alright, and by making a new board dedicated to generals, you're going to encourage rampant identity fagging without an established community at the board's inception, which will turn it into a steaming turd.

There's nothing wrong with generals, would you prefer 10,000 threads asking "why isn't sol ring banned in commander?" and "X person in Y setting, stat me.".
>>
>>49281673
Now now anon, that would be silly. Who ever heard of making bad examples of a thing to skew statistics?
>>

>While some generals are undeniably clusterfucks, other generals are alright
You mean like quest?
>>
>>49281579
If you questfags wouldn't have created those [fantasy races] general threads, there would be less of them. And they are still more /tg/ related than quests. If you don't believe me, ask the mods.
>>
>>49281579
Right, because having 28 MtG threads instead of about 10 is a wonderful idea. Now let's expand that to 3.PF, board games, multiple flavors of Warhamner, and how many threads do you think we'll be left with?

As cancerous as generals tend to be, I'd rather have those topics contained and ignored than further shitting all over the place.

I think that GW content is taking up too much of this board and should be moved to /gw/. FFG should go there too since they're basically the same company.

Mtg could go to /mtg/, I'm sick of seeing multiple threads for that too.

I'm not a fan of Warmachine or Hordes so that should just be banned outright

D&D's big enough for it's own board, anyone who mentions it here's just wasting the time of real gamers

Personal anecdotes aren't really /tg/ either, I'd say any personal opinions or stories should move to /ane/.
>>
>>49281727
>this guy
False equivalency. Quests had little to do with /tg/ other than occasionally using concepts. Generals, on the other hand, are almost always related.
>>
>>49281731
I dunno, mods said quests were related for 8+years, but shitposters refused to believe.

>Thus I humbly propose that General threads be banned, and possibly that a board be made for them, named /gnl/.
Sure. I agree with this notion wholeheartedly.
We would name the board /tgg/.
And what's left would remain on /tg/.

And /tg/ would be to /tgg/ what /v/ is to /vg/ - a cancerous place where traditional games aren't actually discussed, instead overwhelmed by "elf slave wat do?" and other cancerous threads - basically, a containment board.

I support the creation of /tgg/ completely and absolutely.

Generals have more to do with waifus and monstergirls than /tg/.

>>49281758
So should Guild threads be banned too? They are roleplaying and don't even use dice!
>>49281769
But if generals get their own board you can have autosage after 5 days and forced IDs so people can't pretend they have more people on their side of an argument!

There was a successful motion not long ago, which resulted in the creation of a separate board, the Traditional Generals, /tg/ for short. Is this your fucking first day here or something?

And wtf are you even doing in the generals board? Mooods!

>>49281778
You mean a board where we could acually discuss tabletop gaming? Shit yes.

As someone who's loved reading quests, I'm glad they don't have to share a board with /elfslavewatdo/ anymore

You mean like how the /tv/ people wanted a celeb board and posted multiple generic images of generic white women who starred in some movie, screenshotted it, and said "THIS IS WHY WE NEED /celeb/" multiple times per week?

Also, I can vouch for Peasant General being a thing, but also very uncommon so yes, the false-flagging is happening. There are people SO AUTISTIC and SO OUT OF CONTROL they do this because they're told "Use this board you were given, faggot".

Wow, this thread totally proves that questfags are not just worthless shitposters who want to fill /tg/ with crap. Good job OP.

Nope, they're useful tool for certain kinds of threads, like Quests, where the identity of the OP or contributors is important

I will never understand this no matter how you phrase it.

>>49281769
IT'S. NOT. BETTER.

Being on /qst/ is being on Christmas Island and with only shipwrecks to boost your population. Quests do not a board make, they are an activity not a community. Almost no one takes part in more than 1-2 quest over as many years, there's no core demographic so you can't simulate the pick-up and play experience on an isolated board with no exterior traffic.

I unironically love the Mods on this board.

They got rid of ERP, and are getting rid of Quests.

/wsg/ was okay, because often enough it contained all the fetish threads that remain the only real problem on this board.

Once we find a way to get rid of fetish threads, this will be a golden board.

Nobody was breaking the law before the new law. Some people were just complaining until the government started to listen to those people.

Why are there so many fucking morons on this website who have a problem with generals?

How is it better to have every single Flames of War idea, discussion or question in its own thread instead of in one place? To use just one example. I would assume they are all trolling if this nonsense was not bandied about so often.
>>
>>49281849
>running games isn't /tg/
It began as /tg/, as most things on /tg/ do, but then it quickly devolves into non-/tg/, and people fight back about why it was /tg/ by trying to make it /tg/, followed by people fighting back against the people fighting back, trying to make it not /tg/.

In the end, you're left with something that is sort of /tg/, which, by definition, is not /tg/; Thesis, Antithesis and, Synthesis you dolt.

Generals are a large part of the threads on /tg/ at the moment, and they frequently end up being less about the topic and more just a chatroom for bullshit.

That's exactly what I'm talking about.
No more shitty fantasy racism threads, no more filename threads, no more stupid greentext one-liner threads.
/tgg/ would be a glorious place.

So, this is a good place to discuss it.
Anyone else worried that the policy of 4chan can now be changed if you break the rules to shitpost for long enough?

It seems like any autust with a grudge and the ability to ban evade cam get his way as long as he is dedicated.

To the mod that keeps deleting these threads. It's not going to solve anything. You need to let people vent for about a week or so before things calm down a bit, and the /tg/ ecosystem returns to stasis.

Wow that sure is a whole load of words that mean nothing Mr Mod.
>>
>>49281882
I'm tempted to make a new thread for every question I have until this thread 404s just to prove how stupid OP's idea is
>>
>>49281879
They were explicitly getting repeated bans for their shitposting against quests for a period of eight years.

It seems like that is the way to go about it. Break the rules, get banned, do it again.
>>
Sticky this thread Mods, let us get it all out here. Let this be the battlefield where the Questers realize they've already lost. More threads will inevitably pop up anyway. Leave this one here til everyone gets tired of arguing about it and getting their Quest threads moved.

But on a more serious note Generals aren't Traditional Games. Quests aren't were 'groups' of people partaking in a 'quest or adventure' like you'd do on a table top or hell even Roll20.

>>49281778
I agree. They should get there own board. Clearly they are sufficient in numbers.

Oh CYOA books those things that have NOTHING to do with traditional gaming of course!!
