The future of this game will very much depend on where we are and, most especially, where we've been.
rosecity, the stuff you mentioned above are not new. They may be new to you but they are part of the game (and this IS a game) for a long time before you came along. The jabs at Stuart (on my part, anyway) have to do with his frequent leaving and coming back again. It's happened a few times. Ask him. He'll tell you. We like Stuart. We really do. He didn't "get" it at first, for quite a while actually, but when he did, he was ok. And he has stuck around for quite a while this time around. We hope he'll stay. Stuart is an adult, by the way. If he has or had a problem with our "treatment" of him, he would let us know as he always as. But he plays along with it including his fascination with TheDude. Demerits and criticisms of contributions (most especially my dislike of ellipses) are a very long term part of this game. Early on, you mentioned you dug into the archives to see what we do here. If, in fact, you did that, you would have seen all of that. The rule is it's a one sentence game. Not two sentences. Not parts of sentences. One sentence. If there's an issue with that one sentence, we may choose to bypass the contribution and clue. It happens and it has happened many times. Again, nothing new. The game as it was intended has evolved over time. This is where we are now, whether you like it or not, rosecity. And who is the 'he' in "the game that he created in perfect harmony and bliss"? Are you referring to Stuart? Stuart did not create this game. The person who created the game was, at the time, known as TheDude. TheDude left after a long time and then came back again (kinda like Stuart actually) but couldn't and wouldn't adjust to the evolution of the game at the time. He very humorously tried to get the game shut down. We ignored him and he disappeared. So, rosecity, the game as intended evolved. We like it. Even CT likes it. Deep down inside, he really loves it. On the outside, not so much. It's all smoke and mirrors. So we will stay with where we are. We aren't changing because you think we should. Let's talk about something else. Such as, your previous incarnation (and banning) as cotton belt.
