Howdy folks, decided to make an account because - like many others here, I imagine - MTGS mods piss me right the fuck off.

Welcome to the browncoats, redthirst.
Thanks. I don't mind being on the losing side, as long as it's not the wrong side.

God, I love you guys.
Welcome, fellow Firefly fan! Tell me, are you a fan of Joss Whedon's other works as well?

No power in the 'verse can stop me.
Edit- all the way back starting with his writing for Alien, Manders. Buffy's my fav.

I watched a little Buffy but never really got into it or Angel. Hell, I didn't see my first episode of Firefly until it had been off the air for two years.
In my defense, it aired on Friday nights, I was 16 at the time, and the commercials for it were just terrible.
Still...
...the shame. It burns us.

Don't feel bad, a lot of people missed it or were watching Friends instead. Well, feel bad if you watched friends instead.

Oh God! I was!
I was watching Friends!
Nah, actually didn't watch too much Friends... speaking of good shows, though, I was a pretty big fan of MST: 3000 back in the day, Mr. Servo.
:wink

Shhhh! Liking mst3k is a bannable offense in some parts of the verse.

I threw it out there but I have no idea if there will be any takers. Would it be an option to get a sister thread over here? I honestly think the less PC enviroment, "big boy" attitude, and no word filter would suit us better in general.

We've held off on clans for now due to only having basically ten active members, but if you bring a clanful of people then we'll find a spot for you guys to do your thing, for sure!

it's up to him to decide where says the magecraft in me, the community part says bring.

It's hardly up to me. I'll let everyone know that "if we come, they will build it", but it's best to think of the FoS as a pack of wild housecats - the best I can do is point something out to them and hope it catches their attention...

Might as well tell us what upset you about the moderation style over at MTGS, redthirst. It will help you move past the whole mess.

It's fine, I've just been infracted for "tone" twice in two weeks in WCT.
What a bullshit thing to get carded for - especially since there's no rules regarding "tone"...

No no no no no.

protecting Teia, I doubt she cares.

I watched Serenity before I watched {some of} Firefly. Is it worth watching the full thing even if it never reaches a conclusion?
Why hasn't he finished it?

oh my fucking god yes. It is insanely good.

I rep a MTGS Clan.
I threw the idea at them and some people liked it, others didn't. It's going to be one of those things where I just have to put the invite out there, see if there are any takers, and let everyone know the door's open.
Also, you're going to want to watch all of Firefly.
Again. And again. And again.

Is Serenity the prequel then?
That's a dumb question now that I take a second to think about the plot of Serenity.
I mean as long as it's better then the Avengers I'll for sure check it out. I guess I just didn't get into it enough.

Yeah thought he was the GRRRR duder for some reason.

Serenity takes place after the series, but really it's pretty non-linear.
In case you still need more convincing:

Nice post, but I gotta disagree with it - River's def my favorite.
I guess I just love a girl that can kick my ass.

Welcome dude
Next they will be infracting people for.
-Posting the word "Oriental"
-genuinely thanking a post
-telling death threat jokes such as "he is in Newyork you should go get him, shouldnt be to hard to find"
Hell they might even go as far as telling meddigo to go round asking other sites for peoples email adressess so that they can hack into them.
Who knows.

It's that "Small Print" bullshit that gets me.
"Interpretation of the Forum Rules is always at the discretion of the MTGSalvation staff" basically boils down to "We can infract you for whatever the fuck we want".
If they decide what's spam then absolutely anything can be spam. If they get to arbitrarily add whatever "tone" they want to your posts then anything can be flaming/trolling.
"Nice list dude!"
becomes a flame if you assume it's sarcastic.

Zoe could probably also kick your ass.
I'm an Innara (sp?) fan m'self, I love almost every line in she says in the series, but I would also take Kaylee in a most manly fashion.

It's only flaming if you
tell them that you don't believe them.
AFAIK, Salvation isn't carding anyone for what they assume you're thinking...
...yet, anyway.
Scratch that - I've been infracted twice in two weeks for "tone" - they
are carding people based on what they assume you're thinking.
