Attention, Pie Warriors!
‘Way back at the dawn of history (April 2006, to be precise), your beneficent GAPAs proclaimed that “real” online wars would be banned from the blog but permitted MBers to engage in fantasy pie wars.
Since then, we’ve gradually relaxed that policy. MBers on “Pie War” threads have introduced swords, armor, explosives, and other accoutrements of warfare camouflaged with pielike names. Saying that a weapon is made of pietanium, however, doesn’t make it pastry — especially when the MBer bearing the weapon uses it to maim and slaughter. The results have been a steady string of duels, massacres, and assassinations on the threads and some nasty personal disputes behind the scenes — all highly unMuselike, and excruciatingly boring to anyone not directly involved.
Therefore, we are reasserting our original anti-war policy and taking steps to enforce it. The pie war thread in question will be closed to further comments. So will the hidden Jadestone and Glassboro Planning Thread (though we will still visit it occasionally to hear the singing bunnies). Attempts to continue the war or arguments about it on other threads will be ruthlessly suppressed. If you’re scrapping for a fight, go to World of Warcraft or some other site. That’s not what we’re about here. We have spoken.
