<<I get a kick out of people virtually giving out demands to the Barbarian Liason and expecting him to be amenable to that.>>
No one "is giving out demands" to anyone. They are offering their opinions on this particular subject. There's a huge difference. Yes, people are aware of the answer of forging stamps being given after Forging 2.0, but that doesn't stop people giving whatever opinion they have. Just like it doesn't stop you from listing your opinion.

>No one "is giving out demands" to anyone
I knew it would be coming from someone (and it surprises me little that it's you, Simon, even though you were one of the few who couched it as a request rather than a demand), so I had prepared this list:
"Give Gurt his stamp back already"
- THORBURN
"Give him his stamp back!"
- APMILLER
"Give Gurt back his Stamp!"
- PUCKTIN
"Give Gurt his stamp back!"
- CUBE30
"GIVE GURT HIS STAMP BACK!!!"
- WITCHRAVEN
"Give Gurt his stamp back!"
- GRINOM
"Give him his stamp back."
- COVERG
"I agree, give it back to him!"
- MANESSC
"Give him his stamp back ... Geeezzzzeeee"
- MMGUY
"Give gurt his stamp back, you dont have to wait till after the rewrite unless your going to remove everyone's that currently has one."
- COUGAR2
"Give Gurt the stamp back!"
- YOUNG11
"Give him his stamp back,I would say time has been served"
- ZOULEN
More than a dozen people doing nothing more than demanding. Some gave explanations of why their demand seems reasonable to them, but that changes the tone of it little. "Do this!" is always going to be recieved more poorly than "Could you do this?" will.

Hahaha. Maybe if you'd utilized such blistering wit in the 'Give Gurt his Stamp' thread, he'd already have his stamp back along with a signed letter of apology from D.W. himself! I mean, seriously... you've put me in my place. I'm humbled, for real. Such a withering reply. Really. I'll never be the same again. Ever.

Such rancor. Hardly fitting for such a seemingly upstanding kind of guy.
Plat says, "Why use your venom on me?"
Seriously, though. Just because I don't like you and you don't like me, there is no reason to get catty over what instance of Dragonrealms is played by whom.

Rawr. Kitty have claws.
My point was that Plat and Prime have nothing to do with this dispute. I said the people in the thread would do well to remember they're talking to the GMs (who, as I mentioned, hold all the cards). Demanding is bad; requesting is good. You puffed out your chest, prompt to rise to the challenge, and declared, "No one was demanding anything from anyone! Die!"
I was right. You were wrong. Then the argument digressed to petty little jabs based on your percieved inadequacies of Prime versus Plat.
Translation: You hate me because I'm beautiful. This is not uncommon, and I hold no ill will toward you for that.

There is a difference between a demand and a statement. "Give him his stamp back" does not constitute a demand, unless screamed in an unwaivering tirade. Seems to me like you're grasping at straws to pick an unnecessary conflict.

If you believe that is the only way a demand can be issued, then that's your problem. I will say this, however. A "demand" is this: Give Gurt his stamp back. A "statement" is this: Gurt should be given his stamp back.
No need to thank me; I'm happy to help.
>Seems to me like you're grasping at straws to pick an unnecessary conflict.
There was no conflict until someone else attempted to assert that there was no demanding going on. If no one cares about my opinion, as Simon claims, then no one should have responded to my straw grasping. No replies, no conflict.
My advice to all those who disagree with my viewpoint: Ignore Author is your friend. You'll probably be much happier just not reading my posts than trying to argue against plain and simple fact.

I have to agree, although the punctuation could have been done better. I believe Gurt should get another stamp, but I doubt demanding will do any good. Take Valcer and the Thief guild for example....
