    Emotions are going to run high no matter who wins and loses. So, consider this a warning to everyone in the D&D. If you come in here taunting or cursing or insulting opponents for losing or winning, you will very likely get kicked. Period.

    If you cannot be a gracious winner or loser, don't post in here tonight. This place is tough enough to deal with without that.

    Thanks.

    Most of the time, I don't really care. But, these are the situations that make people act dumber than usual.

    actually, i have high hopes for everyone tonight. certainly there'll be a lot of gnashing of teeth and rending of garments now matter who wins or loses, but it's hard to get too upset w/ someone just because they outplayed you in the end.

    I agree but it's only the first game of the season. If we can keep Ben Wallace from beating Yao and Mo down the floor for easy buckets, I think we'll have a better........





    I'm sorry, what?





    Ohhhhh, you mean.....



    Sorry, nevermind.

    Dude, you need to take your head out of your a$$ and post in the right forum... ;) j/k

    I, for one, will watch the entire game before going to the bedroom to see the Daily Show coverage in its entirety.

    No matter who wins hopefully both sides can get out and unit behind the winner. Not very likely though.

    You know, the only thing I've feared this entire election cycle isn't the candidates choices, the war on terror, etc.. it's the post-election brewha between the two sides.

    After such an ugly, knock-down, drag-out fight.. I'm not expecting much civility from either side, no matter who wins.

    I don't get the feeling the D&D will be any less mind-numbingly arduous and painful to scroll through in the coming weeks.

    After the election results are in, I promise to:
    : Support the President, even if I didn't vote for him.
    : Criticize the President, even if I did vote for him.
    : Uphold standards of civilized discourse in blogs and in media while pushing both to be better.
    : Unite as a nation, putting country over party, even as we work together to make America better.

    http://www.buzzmachine.com/archives/2004_11_01.html#008331

    Sounds about right.

    I prefered the statement a few lines down..

    I hereby pledge that after the election is called, I will run naked through the streets, smeared with war paint, stinking of Jack Daniels and screaming obscenities at my neighbors.

    I will do this even if my candidate wins because drunken, naked cursing is fun no matter who the president is.
