The people who are Making Fun of Goko are not seen on these forums very often.

Ventures in maths are often misunderstood.

This thread is strictly worse than all other threads on the same topic.

Ventures in maths are often misunderstood.

It's been a while since the last thread on the topic, I'm sure blueblimp is missing the good old times of posting the same mathematical explanation to settle the issue. Who wants to start a new one?

The thread is here. You should read it, it's worth it.

So, I thought we had kinda concluded that nobody involved in that thread was cast in a particularly positive light, nor does the thread present this forum as an open rather than elitist place. Not sure if that part of our history deserves to receive more publicity... Just my two cents, I won't bring this up again.

we absolutely did not conclude this. one guy said it, I forgot who it was, and I immediately answered that I think this thread shows pretty much all of us in a really good light, as we were all really patient with him. we didn't reach a cohesive conclusion either way.

Infinity - Whenever someone mentions "infinity" in a thread, that thread is pretty much done.

Butts - The 206th card thread was hijacked by butt jokes and now any bad butt jokes will get you respect. Watch as I demonstrate.

Ahem...

Butts.

Visit the forum games: Initially, whenever someone introduce themselves, there was some forum game enthusiast that invited them to the forum games subforum (subforum games?). This has gone meta, with people warning newcomers that they will be invited to forum games, saying that they should stay away from forum games, and endless variations referencing invitation to forum games.

For a while I would always reply to not look at the forum games thread because there is nothing there to see. However, now that I post there I stopped having the right to say it.

I just realized...  Butts, for some people, can be the butt of all jokes...

One time I was playing "Would you Rather" and somebody had to make one up, and did this: "Would you rather have a face for a butt, or a butt for a face?"  It's actually a pretty good one...

First, I feel I should explain this thread for everybody...  In order to ensure these refenences remain as funny as possible, I feel strongly that a thread explaining any and all posts, comments, phrases, words, etc. that could be considered within the f.ds lexicon needs to exist, and it now does.

I was going to respond to this part specifically, but liopoil beat me.  Instead I'll link what is almost certainly the oldest in-joke on f.DS--old enough that it predates the forum entirely:

http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/index.php/Blue_dog

Which part of this joke do I not understand? Bluedog is Trader is Hinterlands, and the forum is certainly older than Hinterlands.  The post is Oct 2011, evenn my account is from June, and if I remember correctly it wasn't me who started this forum...

Apparently I thought the forum started in 2012, not 2011.

It would have started in 2011, but then you revealed a Trader and... something...

I would suggest that this thread has gone off the rails, but I'm not sure it was on any rails to begin with.

Would you say that there has been a decline of civilty on the "inside joke" thread?

No, but I would say we need a "inside jokes [serious]" thread

[Watno]

How about "Decline of Civility on the "inside jokes [Serious] thread" [Serious]"?

[Witherweaver]

Decline of Seriousness in the [Serious] Threads.

Too many posts here are lacking explanations.
