Hence it is Wrong!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUNNER Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 And all I was saying was lets make it so not just 4 people can play. I'm taking Electrical math at Devry and the last thing I want to do is more math. Why not movie trivia or SW trivia , something that more people would know and enjoy. It's been a long day so I'm sorry I jump on you but please choose more wisely who you tell to stop whining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a long day so I'm sorry I jump on you but please choose more wisely who you tell to stop whining. Did you ban me for a couple of minutes or something? Look I know your a moderator and all, and I mean no disrespect but Lexx made the post in a way that you could post trivia on any subject and if you got it right you would pose the next question. Being that we are in Yoda's swamp why are you forcing us to make it Starwars Trivia? Couldn't you just as easily start your own starwars Trivia post? I just think it's unfair that we would have to all ruin our fun because you said so, I know you have that authority but do you really wanna impose that on people in that way. This may get me perma-banned or something It's just I thought as long as we stayed in the Guidelines of the golden rules we were allowed to post what we wanted.
