Shouldn't this forum be under Fiction?


While computers and electronics are decidingly nonfictional, the bulk of this forum is used towards gaming. So it would make sense to either split the forum and move gaming threads to a Gaming forum under fiction, or move this entire forum to fiction.

Are you out to make an example of yourself?

Riddle me this. Is Assassin's Creed III a fictional game? Are the statistics in World of Tanks imaginary? Is my gamertag invented?

Maybe people would post in here about anything other than shitty F2P MMO's if it were.

Discussions about game universes are in fiction, because they aren't real.

Games are quite real, as is the play of them and critique of their design elements. So, this is in non-fiction.

If you want to talk about, say, Halo from a story perspective or to calculate its JJJJIGAWATZZ, go ahead and waltz on thataway to the Sci-Fi forum. Want to talk about WoW as a work of Fantasy? Go to Fantasy. People have done this, and the discussions look remarkably like any other kind of discussion of fiction. You can also extend this towards other games like D&D that get discussed here and in fiction, because its a Fantasy game.

Want to talk about, say, StarCraft II as a software program that is actually on your computer, and how well it functions? You talk about it here. Other programs that get talked about on this forum include Windows 8, because holy shit, this forum isn't just for discussions of computer games. In fact, you can also talk about the hardware on this forum, or so I've heard. How does one talk about the X-Box 360 or the Nintendo DSi as a work of fiction, again?

Aaaaand that would be the distinction between this forum and a Fiction forum. Want any more explanations of the obvious?

Everyone posting in this thread should be ashamed of themselves.

Shame on you Zod, shaaaaammmmeee.

ryacko, the proper way to raise this issue would be to PM a mod.

The rest of you, who the fuck appointed you judges of what and how these decisions are made? Fucking morons, the lot.

And in order to improve the quality of this discussion, we shall end it. Thread locked.
