IMO no need to shut it down, just stop posting only tanks and lightsabers, it sucks. I liked this thread because of its randomness and it being kind of a chat thread to talk about everything, but you two are effectively shutting it down because now it is only tanks and lightsabers which is boring.
In fairness, a couple of hundred pages back we had people literally posting single characters and symbols like ".". Lightsabers and tanks are an improvement on that. Also, as stated in my previous post, if one accepts the literal meaning of the original post, than boring posts are actually the goal. Interesting posts spawn conversation, which works against the goal of being the last poster. Better than a lightsaber picture?
It's more "we can post some random stuff once in a while whitout caring". If in a 24 hours period we have a production of 5 pages of two alternate memes, preceeded by other similar pages… well, it's no more fun. In the same way, "I win" once in a while is acceptable, but 5 pages of it would be boring. Now we can proceed with our standard random schedule.
No Problem. It was just a bit monotonous that's all. I don't mind a tank or two, just post some planes, vegetables, clocks, kitchen appliances or animals as well. As for my picture, @NIGHTBRINGER Yes. Definitely better than another lightsaber picture. The important thing being that it is different. Random stuff = nice. Always the same stuff = make a thread specifically for that. Which you did. Just post the Star Wars stuff in the Star Wars thread. Everyone who wants to see Star Wars stuff can look at it there. (EDIT: Also clicking that Indiana Jones video points to a suspicious site)
An interesting (but unfounded) RAI interpretation. In high opposition to RAW in this case, but I relent. On a dedicated warhammer (now AoS) forum website, that is probably untrue. There exists more AoS content on Lustira Online than Star Wars content (though probably by not nearly as large of a margin as one would expect... yes, yes, we all know who is to be blamed for that). While there are several threads dedicated to Star Wars there is an entire sub-forum dedicated to AoS. Pay no attention to me, I'm just being difficult and having a little bit of fun. A little bit of Chaos mischief to appease the Dark Gods. Just debating for the sake of debating. In any event, you guys might be interested in this.... The Random Thread of Random Randomness
For the record: I very much enjoyed the tanks. I would check this thread once every 8-36 hours and scroll through the pictures... So for me it was... Tank!! Lightsabre... Tank!! Lightsabre... Tank!! Lightsabre... Tank!! Lightsabre... Tank!! Lightsabre... Tank!! Lightsabre... Tank!! Lightsabre... Tank!! Lightsabre... Tank!! Lightsabre... Tank!! Of course, I am that Odd sort of Heretic that can’t find anything bad to say about any Star Wars character (...but full disclosure: I have never seen that Xmas special folk speak of in hushed tones...).
There is more to a thread than just a name, so no, not going to post/read in yet another spam thread in addition to this one. This one is fine. It has an incentive to post something ("winning") and by its nature it is random. It has also been pretty random for most of its posts, which is perfect. No reason to reinvent the wheel.
Hahaha... fair enough... to each their own. Personally I like Lightsabers more than tanks, but the opposite view is just as valid! Well the other thread will always be available to you should you change your mind. And if not, that is okay too. If you enjoy this thread, then by all means you should continue to do so. As for the incentive of "winning"... good luck....
Ah, OK. That's sad. I am excited for historical swords (hence the link to the YT channel above) so everytime I see one I am curious about its history. EDIT: did a reverse search to find out. It is a replica.
