What would you do?

does the term prohibiton mean anything to you

This sort of happened to me when the my community college banned any kind of gaming in the student lounge. No more bridge, spades or hearts, no more magic the gathering or other crappy collectible card games it spawned, no more tabletop rpg.

My friends got all pissed but didn't want to do anything, so I went up to the enforcer and asked: where did this rule come from, why was it enacted and what can I do about it? She told me, and I told my friends, 'look, if you want to do something about it, this is what to do.' and then I started playing something else, somewhere else. They petitioned the student body and stuff, but nothing ever came of it.

So I guess if video games were outlawed, I would play something else, or move out of the country.

What was the reason?

We were loud.

Apparently, people were trying to study in there, and there were complaints. Which should have been ignored, because our cc has a huge library with comfy chairs, computers, and several rooms bigger than our lounge where they could study in a group without having to be quiet. No one wants to leave gamers anything.

i seem to recall in your first post it was called the "STUDENTS" lounge not the "STUDY" lounge

Immagrate. (I know I can't spell it.)
jks, btw I would probs just stop playing them, I bet most people would.

Would never happen.

But if we're being all hypothetical... I guess I would protest it. But then, how the hell would they enforce something like that? considering their track record with things like War on Drugs etc

That was, I believe, one of the points the group made to the student body officers, fat lot of good it did.

Start a secret underground resistance that will fight back their oppression, fighting for honor and justice and video games for all.

If you have the proper qualifications.

Absolutely, but first you will have to break the spine of the current media aparatus. So yeah, just let me know when I can start.

Pursue one of my other hobbies as much as I pursue playing video games.
