Woohoo, official off-topic thread!

Sucks, man. I almost dated a gal who was Bi-Polar. Couldn't do it, she decided to stop taking medication.

Bi polar disorder is a hell of a thing.

Yes it is.

And 99.999% of the time when someone "decides" to stop taking medication, there are very, very good reasons for doing so. I'd know, being unmedicated myself (though not bipolar).

I'm unmedicated, too. But bi polar is a different beast to tangle with when deciding not to take medication, especially when you're bordering on schizophrenia.

I think I'm about to date a girl that is [maybe] bipolar soon.

Aspirin and rum are the only medications I trust.

So All Star Superman was quite excellent.

I've lived with an unmedicated schizophrenic. It was not fun. 😐

Sorry I am only just now getting around to answering this, been busy.

A Battlezone is a type of vs. thread rather popular in comic versus. Basically, there are generally two different threads made, both the Battlezone thread proper, and a thread where people can discuss it (The last one is optional though). There are only two people who may debate in the Battlezone thread proper, the two debaters who agreed to it, each backing an agreed upon character/team/whatever. Along with the debaters, judges are picked to determine a "victor" (Basically, who they felt had the stronger argument) by the people competing.

It's all in good fun. Ideally, this could help foster more activity by bringing a new type of debate mechanic to the forum. Comic versus is the most active debating forum on here for a reason.

Are mods able to make new sections? 'cause that all vs all topic comes to mind.

No, they are not.

A family friend almost got killed by her schizophrenic husband. He's been locked up in an asylum for many, many years now.

Why does it sound like you're all trying to one-up each other with these stories of knowing unbalanced individuals?

I'm not asking for a Battlezone forum, that isn't strictly needed. Just asking for Battlezones to be allowed.

I only really ever knew a couple. It's just that one of them was really that bad.

So if you just arrange a match and judges and stress that you want it to be a one-on-one debate thing, couldn't you just start a Battlezone thread and see what happens?

I guess I don't really know how this forum works...

I would rather speak with mah mods first before just making a thread.

Not against any rules. And its not like personal/people specific threads haven't been made before.

But an all clear would be safe.

He is just being a kissass.
