The Baron is the Id, the Castle is the Psychic Apparatus, the Lumberjack is the Superego and the axe is a defense mechanism. This is not a subtle game, nor is this a proper review. That something as crude and stupid as The Baron could win the Spring Thing is a testimony to the crudity and stupidity …

I’ll probably regret this, but what the hell. Where do I sign up?

Spammers get banned. People who post topical reviews of critically-acclaimed IF games do not get banned. Allow me to disabuse you of the notion that the moderators here do nothing. I spend 10-30 minutes a day cleaning up spam and banning user accounts. Sometimes I catch them before they post anythi…

I’ll probably regret this, but what the hell. Where do I sign up? Send me your address via PM and I’ll send you the game.

I wasn’t suggesting Pudlo be banned because he posted a negative review and you know it. I was wondering how many years he has to troll this place before you finally ban his sorry ass. Spam isn’t half as damaging as a troll who feels he can do whatever he wants because moderators aren’t prepared to…

Hahahahah! What?! And then being trolled AT HOME?! Sounds terrific! You have a point.

Hahahahah! What?! And then being trolled AT HOME?! Sounds terrific! You have a point. Aw common guys, I’d never shit in my own nest. Ask Adam Thornton or Dan Shiovitz or Graham Holden or Hanon Ondricek or anyone who’s tested for me and they’ll tell you I’m the perfect gentleman with my tester…

I think the implicit point was ban him for what? I’m curious why people get so worked up. If you don’t like someone’s posts, and you see they posted something — don’t read it! Don’t respond to that thread! If you see they jump in to a thread that you are already reading – skip over their post! Emp…

Banning his account would only inconvenience the people who have added him to their foes list. I expect he is savvy enough that an IP ban would not pose much of a challenge. The only way to keep him out would be to create a closed forum where new members had to be approved by moderators. That’s no…

Then ban him again when he registers under a different name and then again and again and again. Are you really saying you haven’t banned him yet because he’ll probably be able to fake an IP address and sidestep the ban? That’s a bit like a bank manager saying they might as well leave the safe open b…

You have a point.
