Darko - Apologies for the delay, I've tried to incorporate all our insidious dealings. If anything needs changing let me know.

Well this isn't going to be tasteless and offensive at all.

Nepty, Darko, Warork, admiral9,@klimino Alright, a bit of outsider mod intervention. As i understand it this game is a fun nonsense game where 40k armies wage war in a house at their beloved miniature scale with much high-jinks and misunderstandings and so forth. However, i know that 1980s Mujahideen is not a 40k army and considering what that force turned into and acts they committed i'm putting my foot down and interfering in someone else's game on moderation grounds. There are any number of 40k themed forces that could be modified into a rag-tag resistance force instead of simply forming a group of modern day terrorists for shock factor. I suggest it be changed to fit with the tone of the game before further moderation actions have to be taken.

I suggest it be changed to fit with the tone of the game before further moderation actions have to be taken. The Mujahideen of the 1980's are radically different from modern day militant groups, considering they no longer exist and have not existed since the 1990's. There's no shock factor here. They are a fun force and pretty interesting overall. There's also Soviets and what appear to be WW2 era Germans in the game. You know, the rapists and the mass murderers? But, if this it to be ignored, can I play some Waffen-SS up to some wacky hijinks? Or some CSM's, or something.

I suggest it be changed to fit with the tone of the game before further moderation actions have to be taken. While I do find the inclusion of the Afghan Rebels to be tasteless. Lord Harrab was not involved in a number of discussions made at the beginning of this particular Toyhammer, which established that there would be a slightly more serious tone and greater variety of army choices, hence the inclusion of the Wehrmacht and Red Army factions. As for whether or not to include the Afghan rebels, myself, admiral9, and Warork all stated how we felt on the matter and discussed the issue with Nepty, after some discussion it was decided that Nepty did not feel that the inclusion was outside the tone of this game, and that with both Wark and Darko involved directly in the game there was enough moderation in game to ensure a certain level of post quality and content. Edit: Upon further reflection I realized that the wording I used here may come across as hostile, argumentative and generally nonconstructive. In order to address this issue I would like to issue a heartfelt apology and have reworded it.

While I am of the opinion that objectively speaking there is nothing wrong with the mujahideen being in the game, I would say that it more depends on the direction the posts take.
For example my 1942 wehrmacht (which contrary to your empty accusations were not "rapists and mass murderers" to the man) have been all but forced to abandon most of their believes and I've made all of like 2 references to Hitler.
Now if those mujahideen did something similar then I would be completely fine with it, but if they went to the task of well continuing their jihad and act 100% like they did IRL then aside from it just reeking of edginess I'm not sure it would be very fun for all the other players involved.

I was contacted by someone who felt the inclusion was in poor taste especially right after the anniversary of a horrific terrorist attack caused by the decedents organisation that still sticks in the minds of some people. However, i do see your point and if Nepty, the GM has ok'd it then i will retract my suggestion and allow things to continue as they are, and think Admiral has the right idea of things. I will be keeping an on things myself though.

Well, I can assure you that they will probably lose their beliefs upon seeing And contrary to Harrabs example, the Mujahideen had some pretty good guys among them. And of course, I doubt anyone's going to keep their beliefs when they find themselves in a giant house, maybe except for references to Charlie Wilson.
