Fantastic word game

Anarchy was the furthest thing from the redneck's mind when this all started coming together.

I just like screwin' with WMC, and only because he liked screwin' with Stuart. I won't speak for Stuart, as he can (hopefully one day) do that for himself, but his only real issue was with the game was the "Game Czar" position, itself. I know that from his own words to me. I'm sure WMC meant no harm, but you see the result. A longtime player has permanently left us. Remember Plate Blocker? Another lost soul, chalked up to "The Game Czar". It was off-putting to a portion of people and, I believe, the very reason no one new comes here to try their hand at playing the game. WMC could be quite (unintentionally, I believe) overwhelming. I understand, because I obviously can be too.

I guess that whole issue is now fixed, lol.

Anyway, I hope (honestly) that WMC keeps playing. It's obvious he took our little jabs a bit too much to the heart, but the truth is that this game has never needed any one of us "in charge". It's a fun game that allows us to connect with and play off the thoughts of another person, many miles away, and keeping a chain of words moving along continuously and uninterrupted. If there's a better method for getting some joy from a little downtime for a nerd with a vivid imagination (like many of us here possess), I simply haven't found it yet.
 
Retreat to the new Illusions tonight as I'll be able to finally enjoy an 80s Rockfest as an everyday common person.

I'm still here, I haven't left. No one forced me to step down. Ok, maybe rosecity kind of forced me into it what with his promise of sending all of his imaginary friends away one second after I stepped down but he hasn't done that, he's still talking about them, so he lied which doesn't surprise me. But that's ok. It's a breath of fresh air to experience the game this way.

Me being 'Game Czar' is strictly part of the game. It doesn't say Game Czar next to my Radio Discussions profile picture. It's made up. I have no idea how that came about or how far back that started. I'm not going to scour the TFWG (as I prefer) archives to try to find out. Someone else can do that. If people are offended about having to follow a couple of silly rules, then so be it. I'm not the only one to enforce those rules. Everyone did. As for chasing people away, I would think that, lately, CT's demonic DoL role is a lot worse than my Game Czar role. I would think that being called out constantly for grammar issues would be far more nerve racking for newbies than anything I've ever done. I find it funny. I don't see you complaining about that, rosecity.

And, oh by the way, as far as being involved in the game, many of you (especially you, rosecity) are here much more often than I am. With me, during the week, it's 99% late night with the occasional early morning visit with more visits on the weekends. I'm sure all of your wrestling/rassling/cow/hen/chicken/hay loft crap is exactly what people want to read here. Yup, that's for sure.

As for Stuart, I did chat with him some time back, during one of his earlier sabbaticals, making sure he knew that stuff here was pretend and he shouldn't take it too seriously. He claimed he understood that but, perhaps, he didn't. I'm pretty sure that the only times I screwed with Stuart was over his pretend obsession with the guy who invented this game.

During my world-famous Welcome speech, I would always say to take us with a grain of salt and to ask any of us any questions regarding the game. I tried to welcome people as best I could. Someone else can do that now. Or not.
 
An everyday common person in the Director of Linguistics role instead of an authoritarian figure might be a refreshing change of pace for some, so if it means retaining some longtime players and possibly attracting others, I will resign from my demonic make-believe position on the make-believe board and concentrate on my less specific make-believe role in Washington, where I hope to eventually lead a make-believe demonic revolt against the all too real incoming administration.

It's hard for me to believe that anyone could take anything written in this thread seriously, to be honest, but if a swerve back to less provocative content is necessary to preserve the game, so be it.
 
Administration of this game, now consisting of dmargalotti, Miss Silkie, scanman, quadraphonic, and CT need to find a way to move the game along before it plummets to the ground.

CT, the board isn't make-believe. It's real. Everything else is make-believe. ;) Except for me. I'm a figment of everyone's imagination. :)
 
The ground is what's necessary to stop an electrocution.

An acknowledgement to the other players of the game that they were now put away due to your "resignation" does not make me a liar, and you are now crossing a line, WMC. Nothing I've said has been with any intent other than generating a little laughter. Either from the words I wrote, or how ridiculous I sounded writing them.

Until the Stuart and Plate Blocker part. That was the real deal.
 
WMC's abdication is quite shocking, even to the man himself, but it needed to be done for his own peace and quality of life.

Yes, I will still refer to myself in the third person. 😁

rosecity, "They were now put away"? What does that even mean? Are you referring to Post #49,246? The people I specifically mentioned are members of the pretend Executive Board. You and Ed and Kemosabe are not members of the pretend Executive Board. That's why I only mentioned who I mentioned. Don't get your knickers in a bunch. There were no lines crossed.
 
Quality of life for governors, board members, players and farm animals alike has been negatively affected by the latest TFWG kerfuffle, including a small misunderstanding by the outgoing (or maybe "out-already-went") Game Czar regarding my intentions.

I was offering my own resignation from the Executive Board, as Director of Linguistics, not endorsing WMC's replacement (by anyone) as Game Czar. It was my make-believe enforcement of picky linguistic rules that I admitted might be a wee bit authoritarian, or at least too authoritarian for sensitive present or potential players.
 
My intentions to resign as Game Czar were accepted by the Board of Governors so I'm already gone as an authoritative figure.

CT, my non-Game Czar opinion is that you should not resign from the Board. I was merely using you as an example regarding rosecity's complaining of me being authoritative. You keep doing you. Also, this being the weekend, and nobody else from the Exec Board has been around (which prob also means that nobody knows I resigned), that means you are in charge and it's up to you to keep the ship afloat. Make me proud!
 
An authoritative figure asked to see my ID at the doors of the new Illusions last night because he didn't recognize me without my former Game Czar credentials.

It was one of HOSS scanman's security guys checking ID's last night and doing a great job. Had a great time at the new Illusions last night. It was great to see everyone as kenny, Dave and I cranked up some new year's Rock plus your requests. At one point, the lovely young library interns, plus myself and a lot of others, formed a conga line and danced around the place. I would never have done that as Game Czar.

Just realized that I neglected to italicize my dialogue from my previous contribution. I'll accept those demerits anytime, CT.
 
Credentials were presented, but they turned out to be forged documents.
 
Forged documents containing the same error that WMC made two contributions back received no demerits, nor will WMC's, as the error neither occurred in the game sentence nor had anything to do with linguistics.

I'd forward them to the Game Czar for a final ruling, but there is no such person anymore. I'm beginning to think the proletariat may have had the wrong idea. And the cow, hen and redneck seem to have disappeared, which was never part of the plan.
 
Forged documents were used, as well as a padded resume, for WMC to have gotten the gig in the first place.

*puffing on a victory cigar*

You called me a liar in 49,424, deposed one. "They being put away" is saying, without actually saying, the farm animals won't be used in the game again. Guess that has to be spelled out for you. Unless you re-nig, of course.

I would, also, if I were you, minimize the amount of band camp, tasty tidbits, Denny's, new Illusions, mechanical bull mentions that typically come out of you, or you will be met with a long string of contributions from the Linguistics Czar and myself bantering back-and-forth about the Wonderful World of Professional Wrestling. There's no one here that wants to see that happen, but these are the spoils of war and these are the actions a militia of rebels perform.

Those are the list of demands that are expected met. Accept them, or the game dies. 😉
 
In the first place, CT beat me to a contribution, but mine was forging ahead with the calculated plan, so I'll leave it, accept whatever demerits are assessed, and turn the mic back over to the Doctor of Linguistics.

Sorry about that, Comrade Compadre.
 
Linguistics aside, rosecity, you said in Post #49412 that you would retire Constance and the rest of the critters from the game exactly one second after I stepped down.

But you didn't retire them at all. You still talk about them. Therefore, you lied in #49,412. That's the final statement I'll make about it. Have a nice day.
 
I stepped down to the arena floor and looked back up to the rafters to see Kayla standing in one of the luxury suites, a cigarette lighter lit in her hand, offering a nod of approval for the collaborative effort.

Mission accomplished. We did what others before us couldn't. 18 years in the history of FWG, as it's properly initialized, and it will now forever be known that it only took one dumb ol' redneck broadcaster from Texas, and one very well-spoken retired newspaper editor from Vermont, (by way of Connecticut) to take down the once-powerful dictator.

I'll have a tallboy Miller Lite on top of that nice day, hombre. I appreciate it.

Hey, CT. Maybe, next, we should take a long, hard look at North Korea.
 
The collaborative effort spoken of in the previous post is set to take an unexpected turn, as the well-spoken editor has taken his talents to the rasslin' ring, becoming the sanctimonious, devious manager of a masked man known only as The Czar.
 
The Czar would have to employ a golden scepter as a part of his gimmick.

We'd need to see you paraded around as "Sir Cerebral Heel", too. Complete with an authentic Grand Wizard-styled smoking jacket, as well.
