In the recent vote for the Sliske's Countdown events, suspect votes were validated by the event moderator and annulled if those persons were not found to have an active and participatory role in the RSRP community. Oh, shit. You dragged that E. Rend chick into this, didn't you?

-Waves-

Clarifying this, the only requirement to vote was to have posted in the RP forums before. Even once. I believe of thirty people who voted, only four votes were disqualified.

Time to throw my... 69 cents on the table. I have always, always agreed that TSG are roleplayers, and are a part of the larger Roleplay community. Dion has been both frustrating at times, and also very relaxed and cool to talk with.

Hell, when I passed the RP Guide Sticky along to Faeyrin, I did it because they come from the Textplay and Themeplay parts of 42. This is someone who I felt would support more than just the "rights" of textplay, and even went as far as to pioneer a roleplay format that merged the two in such a way that you could interact with anyone! Why did I do this? I am not a fan of mechanics play. But I had very good friends who incorporated mechanics into their roleplay and felt that the ideaology that they "don't belong" was, as the late Antonin Scalia put it, "pure applesauce."

So it's with that background of supporting TSG in the past that I will say I do not support them now. The practices I have heard of are ridiculous, And even though many members have been civil here, when a high ranking member threatens legal action, they should be aware the Wikia admins have total power in what does and does not get posted here.

Nobody is saying "wipe TSG from history." Nobody is saying "delete all reference of them." What do you take us for, Saradomin and Zamorak removing every trace of Zaros they can? Nope. Not here. What we're saying is, the page for TSG staying here, is connecting this site with practices the Admins aren't crazy about. Which they are perfectly within their rights as Wikia admins to deal with.

If a certain group tried to post a page here who spread a picture of a certain RPer's... Spread... I guarantee you there would be a similar response from members. But yet pages connected to said group have stayed on the Wiki. TSG would get similar treatment.

And yes, not every wikia will delete pages like this. Most Wikias only allow lore pages. SCP screens pages before they are even posted. RP Wikias... Well, depends on the owners.

Regardless, I think I've now shoved more than 69 cents into this conversation, and I've still not gotten my soda to come out yet. If you need me, you likely have my Skype. Ciao!
