I’m posting this as a spokesperson for the three MDS mods involved in today’s banning. We’ve been unbanned so that we can speak about today’s events.
First off, we would like to sincerely apologize to those who were hurt by the Hannibal thread. It was absolutely not intended to hurt anyone or make them uncomfortable. We are very sorry if that was the result.
Our absent responses from the thread once it devolved can be simply explained- we genuinely did not want to cause any more drama. In hindsight, we should probably have apologized, but at the time we agreed that to continue the discussion might cause further issues and we wanted to avoid being banned. That didn’t go so well did it?
We would like to point out that at no point were we warned that we were in danger of being banned, from either mod, on any social media site. We are also not aware of alleged prior “shitty comments” that supposedly contributed to our banning. As far as we know, we have been decent contributing members of this community up until 72 hours ago.
We have all been deeply hurt by the accusations of sexism and racism that were attributed to our actions. I, as a WOC, am particularly hurt by having been told that I was using white privilege to hurt fellow WOCs. I know that this aspect of my life was not widely known until today, but the assumption still stings. And the fact that we were never given the courtesy of a warning hurts deeper still.
I don’t think we will be back after this. I would like to thank you for the wonderful times you’ve provided me in the past. You have helped me through some truly dark moments. I’m sorry to have to leave this way.
I will be responding to comments on this thread. I am also available on tumblr at the same screename, if you would rather reply anonymously.

I've had this song stuck in my head for days. It's the most hardcore paean to chocolate ever devised, and it's ridiculously catchy. The world was always waiting for someone to mash-up death metal and J-pop. Always.

This is where Mark lets us know when the new videos are up (as well as where we flail waiting for him to let us know they're up). They're usually all available at the same time now, so there will likely only be the one comment from him, unless there’s some unforeseen change or technical difficulty.
Please do not try to buy a new episode until he posts here to say it’s ready to download.
Link exchanges and donations take place on the Black Market post. Below are links to the page for each show so you don’t have to search the store (just click on the show title), plus a list of the episodes that will be uploaded for the week.

So the new sitcom that created by Greg Poehler, starring him and Lena Olin among others and executive produced by him and Amy Poehler just premiered in here in Sweden on Friday. You guys across the atlantic will have to wait untl NBC sets a premiere date. Thoughts in rot13 below, I tried to avoid mentioning as many plot details as possible and focused more on the characters and actors:

Warning: Video has vague/OOC spoilers for the first 13 episodes
Overall this and the clips they've released sound really good. Excited for Eren's VA, since I've liked a lot of his work before.

(Please note that I originally typed Captain Soldier: Winter America.)
This post does not contain any spoilers. I ciphered because following my vague thought processes might lead you down a similar path. Or any path.

I have a few questions, since I've never done this before.... do I have to include the publisher or magazine in the 3rd column? Also, thoughts on reviews I should suggest for the example for Mark?
Finally, anyone have any last minute suggestions for Dramatic presentation (short or long form) or short stories?

Yep, I'm playing through these games and enjoying them so much!

I'm reposting this for those that didn't see it, since I put it up toward the end of the week last time. Sorry to be a bother about this.
I don't normally do things like this, but I'm trying to spread the word about my older brother's kickstarter for his card game. Him and his partner (who's basically a second older brother to me) have a small game company in Portland, Oregon, and this is their first attempt to kickstart. The game is seriously addicting, and a lot of fun (and that's coming from someone who normally doesn't like card games!).
The game itself is called "Madness" (sorry for the ableist slur there, but they already own the name and everything). The basic premise of the game is that a zombie outbreak has begun, and it is up to the players to find the cure! It is very fast-paced, with up to four players, and in addition to trying to create the cure first, one has to contend with action cards of varying kinds, and a cure that is constantly evolving to match the disease.
This is the link to the kickstarter, and I also shared the link on my tumblr, so feel free to reblog it there even if you can't donate. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/madness/madn...
More than just trying to ask everyone for donations for my brother, I also honestly want to share this game with everyone. Its seriously fun, and I love playing it, and I think a lot of people here would too.
Also, I would encourage everyone to watch the video attached to the "Madness" logo on the kickstarter page as well, if you want to see my brother Tyler being a total dork.
Here's the video showing how to play:
