Oh lord, that game was a disaster. No idea how we pulled that one out.
Also Atos Bristle is LEGIT AS HELL
I've been playing with pros a lot lately, which is weird since my MMR has been going down more than up.
Ok sorry that was offtopic, probably should be in some offtopic thread in the Tavern.

Well I'm playing less with pros this week since C9 went to sweden so now aint a good time
+ Show Spoiler +see how ez dat brag was huehuehue
Also to me thats an example of the kind of thread that doesn't deserve to exist as a thread and is exactly the sort of casual discussion that GD fostered.
|
I'm not for or against bringing back GD but I think the current discussion although having derailed from the original topic is something I can admit to missing in the old GD thread. Like sn0 said, it's a casual discussion that's fun to have but doesn't necessarily need to exist as a thread titled "playing with the pros". That said, I think it's possible for the Tavern to fit itself in a good middle ground between having a casual discussion and not becoming overbearingly shitty like the old GD thread eventually became.
I'm pretty happy about the responses this thread received overall and I hope the discussion will find a way to manifest itself in making the site better.

Like I advocated for, I think a non-dota thread could be just what is needed. I do think it would be more interesting if we opened tavern to non Dota threads, but I could see that being a mess if not managed correctly. I still have faith in the mods and Admins though. I think they'll make the right decision overall.
|
uh, isnt tavern already open to not dota threads?
|
technically yes but threadworthy non-dota discussions usually end up in the shared general forums.
or blogs

Tavern is basically for non-esports discussion.

Sometimes I just wanna tell my buds at LD that I read a nice book recently and maybe discuss how the protagonist was a classic case of retarded ignorant for the sake of exposition but the setting totally makes up for it and I particularly liked how the cloning and time travel was done in it and the FTL drives were really cool...
But I don;t feel like posting in the book dedicated threads in the community section because people there talkabout weird shit all the time.
Also didn't actually read a book like that, I mean cloning and time travel done well at once, come on, where does that happen?
|
I think im gonna make a thread in The Tavern.
Thread made, feel free to close it mods if its not to your liking.
|
That thread is a bit weird. I see what you're saying, but it doesn't feel like an 'official' non-dota thread it's more of just a place where people have been going in order to shitpost.
