I'd like to adopt the Mini-Boulder crystal skoal, the Mini-Rancor Darth Tyrannus and the mini-Missingno Pigeott, which takes the form of the Aerodactyl fossil.

CourtleyHades: Stop demanding others write missions. by

I saw your message on my Wiki page after I very clearly told you to not do that.
I will not write a mission because you told me to. So knock. It. Off. -
Does this make three requests to stop, or just two? by

Either way, one request should have been enough, and this is now getting into "violation of the constitution" territory. See Article 4 - Harassment; specifically, the part about pestering.
Also, wasn't classicfilmfan/CourtleyHades just recently unblocked on the wiki? Sure enough, they asked to be unblocked on April 2nd, less than a month ago.
So, taking all of this into account, I propose that CourtleyHades/classicfilmfan be reblocked on the wiki for some amount of time. This should give them time to consider listening when someone asks them repeatedly not to do something. If they persist in their pestering on the Board or in the Discord, it will be in the public eye, and should be accordingly called out and dealt with.
Does anyone else have thoughts on the matter?

I don't know the amount of requests to stop, but I think right now blocking on the wiki should be held off, unless this happens once more.
Classic, please do not excessively post on the board. Before you post something, please ask yourself: Do I need to put this on the board? And, as your last adoption post was not replied to at all, think about what you want your post to do. If you're asking a question which you think won't get answered/responded to, and isn't a very serious one, should you be posting it here on the board? Just be mindful, and respect other boarder's wishes. -

It could have been an innocent question. So I answered it in a relevant thread he'd started on the Board. Dunno if he actually saw it or not, though, since Thoth was the only one who replied.
It does rather smack of a boss demanding to know why his employee has not delivered that report to his desk as of four pm sharp, though. {= /
CFF/CH, let me explain the problem you're having: At the moment, you have zero social currency with any of us. Social currency is complex, but in simple terms, it's the unstated rule that, if you want someone to do something for you, you have to do something of equivalent value for them, too. In this case, you want us to write missions that would please you. Writing a mission is a fairly hefty investment of time and energy, so we're not going to do it unless we can count on getting something out of it. If we do a thing for you, what, exactly, are you going to do for us? Are you going to give us some enthusiastic conversation about shows we like? Are you going to give comments and concrit on our stories? If you tell someone you're interested in playing a game, are you actually going to engage with them when they start it?
'Cause you haven't done any of that so far, and the more output you demand without giving us any of the type of input we value, the more irritated we are going to get about it. And, because I feel like I have to say this, a one-line token effort isn't enough when you're asking for dozens of hours and thousands of words in return. You're only going get the equivalent of what you give.

Please don't multi-post every topic you wish to discuss on the Board in separate threads. I speak from experience when I say that it clutters up the front page and pushes more important threads down and out of view, and in some cases off the front page altogether. If you wish to talk about multiple topics, either put them all in a single post, or reply to the previous post you made to keep everything on a single thread.
With that being said, the only mini-Boulder I've adopted is Indania, which was technically the first of, oh, almost two-score little quasi-sentient rocks from my second published mission. As a general rule, if I discover a new species of mini, I only adopt the first ever instance of said mini, so crystal skoal, being neck-and-nonexistent-neck with ndiana jones for the second instance, kinda lost out on that dubious honor. Considering that nobody else as far as I know has adopted any other mini-Boulder except that coprolite one that was given away during the 2015 New Year's Gift Exchange (I think firemagic's Ari received it), that means crystal skoal is technically up for grabs. So congrats, you now own a little round rock!
I'm not sure who is responsible for the ownership/discovery of the other two minis, but I guess you can talk it over with those people. -

You've posted two threads in less than 12 hours and have two threads which you started by referencing Loud House on the front page. At present, you may have originated the most front page threads of any user here.
Relax.
Take it easy.
Give everyone else time to respond.
Maybe post threads a bit more conservatively.
