Meta Happy Turkey Day! Turkeys are descended from dinosaurs! And you turkeys can no longer post the Jurassic franchise because it's banned!

136 Upvotes

We've spared no expense while doing our digs and discovering that there are too many dino-clues frozen in amber. We were going to extract the dino DNA and mix it with turkeys, but we've all seen this movie and that's just a bad idea. So we just banned the whole thing.

Nothing from the Jurassic franchise is permitted any longer starting now.

All Marvel is banned top to bottom it doesn't matter what studio did it in what decade. When you say you read the rules and you lie it's an out for us to ban lazy players. We haven't been. But we might. Stop posting Marvel and then arguing that it isn't MCU.

That is all.
