This Thread is a response to YouCan’tHandleTheTruth, The Ambassador, and anyone else who thinks the Forum needs to be devoid of anyone related to HQD.
First off, we aren’t bots. Just wanna throw that out there. The mods already investigated this and we cleared it up months ago. Yes we have similar names as a bit of an inside joke and we make the same general jokes, but we aren’t bots, just good friends.
Secondly, if you don’t like spam, sure we’ll stop. Not even joking. I don’t think we’ve really spammed that much since the first couple threads made by us other than making a few joke threads these past couple weeks, but if that really grinds your gears we can stop. I’m speaking for most of us here, obviously I can’t tell people what to do, but I know most people I speak for will have the common courtesy to not spam anymore.
Third, understand that this is a website for a game. Yes, it is a board game. Yes, you are very serious about the game, we can all see how serious you are about this game, good job you. However, this does not change what it is. I know a lot of people can get extremely attached to a game, like all of those pro chess players and so forth, but not everybody is as serious about this game as you are and you need to learn how to deal with that.
If you expect every new player to take this game as seriously as you then you end up pushing new players away from the game. If that’s what you’d like to do, go for it, but it’ll end up being the same people playing over and over again until they all stop, in which scenario nobody will play it anymore, which I think would be extremely sad to happen to (almost) any game out there.
Fourth, I want to point out that the “HQD bots” are not the only people that have left joke comments. I’m not going to act like we aren’t the most frequent offenders or inciters, but we aren’t the only ones. And no, I’m not just referring to those people that also know us but chose not to put HQD in their names, I mean that there are other people who have done it that we know not at all, so I know there are some people on the website who can distinguish between malicious chaos and a joke. I’m not saying this to say that you are unjust in calling us out, nor am I trying to use it as a way to excuse our actions, all I am trying to say is this:
For nearly everyone who has asked us to stop I have seen someone joining in, so that’s a little conflicting obviously. However, recently, I have seen a lot more people asking us to stop, so therefore I will.
Finally, you can ignore these threads just as much as we ignore the vast majority of you guys’ threads. There have been more threads as of recent that we have commented on since it is the end of school and we have much more freetime, but we have mostly ignored the walls of text from large, serious threads like Variant Tournaments, 1v1 Tournament Rules, and I’ve Been Boursed!!! I don’t feel the need to commend “Muted” or anything like that on them, so I don’t see why you do.
TL:DR: We won’t spam anymore and if you don’t like our jokes, that’s fine with me we’ll take them to a different game and “POOF” you now have less players. Congratulations :D
PS: Most of us basically won’t be using this website by the end of the month since Summer Vacation is starting up and we have better things to be doing than playing an electronic board game, so you won’t even have to see us after that. (Mods, don’t think this will affect us quitting games or whatever, most of us are dead or dying already)
