What does this term mean ? It's the first time I see it as that.
And what does "popamole" mean ?

Take a wild guess.

Not sure if serious.

Take Whackamole. Switch the hammer for a gun. Popamole.

It works even better if you also switch the holes for waist high cover and the moles for futuristic space soldiers, if ye get the drifting drift.

Better be back, this place is terribly dull.

they'll be back

its the last stand of true RPGs………… with superior console controls

Let's hope it's only a joke…

Okay, I'll translate it as "trigger-happy" for me now.

I guess the scale could be relative but I wouldn't know without better data.

The Alexa score is worthless because it includes measurements like bounces that we don't care about - we could deliberately design the front page to encourage more page-views (like, say, GameBanshee) but we deliberately want an easy to read site.

Anyway, carry on!

[For those fools who are genuinely concerned, this is undoubtedly a joke message]

Yes, that is exactly why the text on your forums fills up exactly an eighth of my screen, and doesn't really expand much beyond that. Easy to read, indeed.

All those people happy to see the codex down.. Its cause they are delighted at the thought of codexers coming post here right ? righ?!

Back up at last. Took DU long enough. Not sure if I like the new look, and I hope he gets rid of the whole "must be on at least 3 bro-lists"-rule. Kinda quiet without the morons. Probably just to beta-test the new soft-/hardware with low loads.
Though, I suspect he'll keep it like this for a week or so, to see if some simply stay on the Watch and stop bothering us.

It's something more than that though, it's a word perfectly summing up the gameplay of an entire genre, you sit behind cover, and you pop shots off at moles(npcs), who mover between cover to cover.

Gears of War
Mass Effect 2
Deus Ex:HR department.

What do you do, you sit at your stand and just pop at moles, it's all 3rd person shooters have really become now. With a few noted exceptions, IE that of Dead Space. Failure of a horror game, but it at least lacked a noticeable cover mechanic.

But gameplay wise, outside of dialogue in Mass Effect 2, and similar games, you just sit behind cover and popamole. Occasionally this is broken up by moving to new cover, and you again, sit behind that cover and popamole.

Good thing they reserved the rpgcodex.net domain:

Don't forget regenerating health/lack of medikits and inventory limited to two weapons only, no matter what.

The removal of General Discussion is the biggest surprise, without a doubt. The Codex just won't be the same without it.

The Watch is very lax with its rules and as long as people don't post outright racist, aggressive, slanderous things and so on, the moderators let it go.

No pornographic material is allowed either.

So basically, if you act like a normal human being, who swears once in a while and complains about lots of things, people here won't mind too much.
If you start to go crazy and insult people for the heck of it you'd get banned.


While I find a lot of Codexers irritating, I wouldn't ban or kick them. They have the right to speak out too.

Clearly you have not looked at the recent postings in the refugee thread.

Yes they do but they should conform to this sites tempo and tone, not the other way around. That was my only point.

You're right. I hadn't gone through all of it and some of it is clearly out of line. Those posts should be deleted and the posters warned.

I'm guessing though that the moderators who have real lives too do not have time to check that thread as it went from 15 pages to 50 in 2 hours…

That's why we allow the Refugee thread which is supervised by senior admin Jaz. We try to keep all Codex posting in the one place!! This is holiday time and we all have families.

And that's fine and quite understandable, I was simply making a point to my statements so they could be addressed. No need to shoot the messenger Pladio.

I wasn't trying to be offensive to you. Just trying to explain my point of view.
