 You're on!


EDIT: Is gambling against the rules?

QuoteThese rules can be changed at the whim of the admins and mods.
From The "Forum Rules" topic. You know, I think we've probably forced a new rule unintentionally. (Asuming it's not there.) We are now officially famous! *Celebrates*

(Should I be hoping they add that?)

 Gambling on Mod's choices? Hmmmm Hmmm, I hope not, it's so fun!

 Yeah, but unfortunately, there's no "RWL Gamblers Helpline" yet. I think we should wait for one.

I feel like upping the ante (or whatever the word is. Help me out, someone). Let's throw in that cool rat that makes all the towers...

 Oh all right.... They can't ban gambling, I mean it's supported by the game!

 *Thonks head* Of course! Good show. I've heard rats are avid gamblers. You know, Luck of the Devil an' all.

 The first flush toilet was invented by Sir Thomas Crapper. I bet his ancestors really love how his name has been immortalized.

The United States Supreme Court defines Speech is obscene: "if it describes or depicts sexual conduct that, taken as a whole, by the average person:  Appeals to the prurient interest is sex and patently offensive on a community standard and lacks serious value using a national reasonable person standard."

However, knowing there may be a 10 year old reading this forum. How hard is it to say ?gee," ?gosh?, ?dang it.?

 I would sooner be castrated than resort to having to say "Golly gee! You're [edit] tootin' mistah' Wolfie!".

Thanks for the definition of obscene, though, that further confirms that some of the aforementioned words are not profance.

As for gambling, heck, there's a Lottery option, guys!

  :rolleyes:  You could say that I'm "offended" at some of the harsher words. However, it would be more accurate to say that I'm annoyed by them more than anything.

 *laughs* You have a point there, Raine, but you're exaggerating what Wolf Bite said.

Since I read this topic, I'll be keeping a close eye on all of you... :blink:  ^_^

RWLers, your wish is my command...as long as it complies with the rules.


Stormclaw

 Hmm. Reading this topic, it would seem you guys would favor a return to the 'iron fist wrapped in a steel glove' style of administration.
A Departed Hero...

The First Emperor, Stormclaw, called by history The Noble, Longest-Ruling of the Eight.

Look at what happened to Terrouge.

Vengerak

 ...We never had an iron-fist-in-steel-glove style administration.

 Terrouge seems very alive and hopping to me, so having strict rules can't be such a bad thing.

The way I interpret the profanity rule is as follows:

The H, D, S, F, A, and both B words (Geez! I feel like a little kid.) are prohibited and will be edited on sight.

Any religious groups' leaders' name being used as profanity (not in context) is prohibited will be edited on sight.

geez etc. are not considered profanity and will not be edited.

If you want to use the word for an illegitimate child in context, go ahead. It won't be edited. Though why you would be talking about illegitimate children unless it was in a story is beyond my comprehension. The same goes for the place where the devil lives. Why do you need to use the A word instead of just saying donkey? It's only 3 more letters to type. Not too hard to do that.

Swearing is not vital to the meaning of a sentence. If you're so hard-pressed to find adjectives, read the dictionary.
