Welcome to Gaia! ::

You know what always annoyed me because it doesn't fit into the narrative, but everybody feels compelled to write it in because they think it adds power to what they're writing when...it doesn't?

"There was 180/230/600 pounds of badass put behind the attack."

I mean, if we want to get down to the nuts and bolts of it, no there wasn't. But just using such phrasing as a tool...It doesn't give anywhere near the same feeling as saying, "the hulking badass threw the entirety of his weight behind his blow."

I know why people do it. The former allows them to cop out when s**t hits the fan, but...Whatever, I shouldn't rant in public.

How did I know you'd be the one to get butt hurt? You didn't even get the point I was trying to make. Like, it completely and totally went over your head.

This is why most competitive RP is boring to read. But I guess most of us aren't really trying to be entertaining as much as we're trying to just one-up somebody else with our flawed interpretation of physics.

If you had simply wrote your character as being powerful and comparable in size you wouldn't have to rely on posting a number which in application isn't even being used in the right way.

Next time don't get so defensive when I wasn't even specifically referring to you.

Considering Darth and I went to school for virtually the same thing I can understand how our method of arguing our points might be similar.

But let's just look at it.

My point is about writing and stylization. I'm not trying to argue anything about physics. I instead post an alternative way of writing the same thing you did that I feel would be more fitting for reader imagery.

You respond with a quote about physics, which I was never arguing about, and inferring that I'm arguing against said physics.

In short, you weren't even on the same page. I'm talking about language, you're talking about, "wah wah someone hurt my feelings."

This explains so much.

It was Fagnus who got mauled. scream

I remember being there for that bear...

I remember trying to use Harmony to make everyone "STAHP HERTEN EACH UDDER!!"...

And then, I remember being ignooooooored. sweatdrop

Admittedly, it was a ******** bear...So, in the end, maybe things worked out for the best. pirate

Stay salty. Not my fault you can't read or you decide to make inferences and they happen to be wrong, as opposed to relying strictly on what's presented in the post.

Here's a more accurate breakdown of that particular instance:

"Point X."

"That doesn't happen with Y!"

"I wasn't talking about Y, I was talking about X."

"CLEARLY I KNOW YOUR OWN STATEMENT BETTER THAN YOU SO I'M TELLING YOU THAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT Y BECAUSE IT SUITS ME."

Yeah, still not my fault you can't read worth ******** fact that you're still salty about something that is basically nothing more than a misstep of an inference on your part is hilarious, because it wasn't really that big of a deal. People do it all the time - but for some reason you get vehemently defensive over it.

Even more hilarious because I quoted verbatim in my post where I was making my point and what it pertained to, and then, with absolutely zero evidence, your response was basically "NUH-UH."
