It's amazing how Yo Sushi gets away with charging for tap water. xD
Go back to page 9, when Tash and the others were first joining.
See how few of them stuck around.
Fuck it, we are too cliquey, guys. But how do you prevent cliquey-ness settling in when dealing with a small group of friendly acquaintances?
This'll take some thinking...
BGBW - how much free time do you have, generally? I wonder if we set up in the OP a rotating game section, every two months playing the game the gaming members of BritGAF will play together, and as we start each new game we send an outreach to the particularly sub-community of that game to recruit new members?
Like say, for the next two months we all play L4D2. We make a post in the L4D2 thread seeking new British players. Then after two months we pick another available-on-steam-for-cheap, runs-on-any-machine game?

Before we leave someone check under the beds to make sure j tourettes isn't hiding.
And just because this thread will be over soon and we can forget about it, I'll post this here:

Simples. Someone new turns up, you welcome them and talk to them. At least for long enough to work out whether they are a twat or not.

It's fair enough. Probably they are doing the same to us, which is also probably why so many of them vanish so damn fast.

Let's mix it up with some new silly/off beat questions in there.
And for title, I like "It's good but it's not right".

I got in trouble for tweeting that once at uni. It led to a meeting in which it was read from the dictionary with definition. I had to stop myself going "See, it said mild swear word, that's not bad."
You got in trouble for tweeting it? How'd they find out? Sounds like there's some Orwellian surveillance shit going on there.

Jon tweets person B telling them not to get wound up about Group C because they're twats.
Group C thinks Jon is a bad man so raises this tweet, although it never named said group, to the uni.
I'd say there are areas where my now current employer could... Work on things,but now will have me hauled in for some meeting for not raising these concerns internally as prospective students could see it. So hey guys the department I'm in itself is great, don't worry about that come for an open day etc that'll cover me.
Really like that L4D2 suggestion.
Another way to avoid clique-ness:-
I might post a (non political) news article that we can all post our opinions on. That way, other users can freely contribute in a conversation that doesn't revolve around a topic that relates to another user.

Twitter is a scary place. I keep bitching about others in private, or under an alias, just so nobody can rat me out.
A friend actually caught me doing it once on Twitter, which lead to me making my Twitter private for a while. That was a scary time, because she actively stalked my Twitter without following me and just kept making reference to shit I tweeted the previous day.
Social networks, man. They're bad news.
Tash trying to make it out that a female member is sending him provocative messages. Tut tut.

I try not to bitch about people like that, it was a pretty pathetic thing all round, but doesn't scare me off Twitter etc. Just have to remember it's no longer an obscure thing so just have to adapt what you say and not say some stuff. But... Absolutely love it. Slagging off TV shows with the world.

I think all of these things are cool, but to enforce will be a bit difficult, the gaming rotation for instance.
The news article thing is cool
I dont think we're going to be able to totally stay cliquey free..
Unless we all become hostile and hate each other

A good contender, doubt the lore will let it pass
Best one by far.
I just realised I called the Steam group UKGAF instead of BritGAF. Whoops.
I'll guess a gaming rotation thing could work. Guess this is something to discuss in the next thread and if we do get around to doing one it can be added to the OP.
Quite like "It's good, but it's not right." Mostly because it doesn't sound like an in-joke.

ITT: so cliquey that talking about the clique has become one.
We need to go deeper.

Fuck, I want a carvery meal now. Gotta use mash potato like cement.
It's the best.
Yeah, mash is a perfect barrier so you can fill your plate without risk of overspill.
They let you go up and get more veg as many times as you want, but I struggle to see who could possibly eat more than a plateful of roast dinner. We ate at 3, but I'm still uncomfortably full.

I had a king size Christmas meal there last year with ice cream for dessert, never been so full in my life.
I can eat two, but I'm just made of bricks or something. I love roast dinners so much.
