"Garnascus agreed with Frances, this is not healthy for a trial mod." - Apparently Viking sees Frances as, like, heroin that can talk. Or Satan. Watch out, Garn. "Frances makes you rethink your opinion and that is bad." - No. Clearly, the real Satan here is thinking twice about your own opinion. Damn all people persuaded of different points of view in the past! WITCHCRAFT!!(!) Thundy wasn't demanding anything, but suddenly CAPS DON'T DEMAND ANYTHING OMGGG, just because she bothered to press Viking a bit more. I don't get it. Is he just lazy? No wonder he hates Frances, I can agree she is a rather tenacious debater. I've just skimmed this complaint, but from the byond messenger convo alone I'm ready to agree with Frances. But nobody listen to me - I'm suffering from agreeing-with-Frances-itis

It's only useless because you can't muster up a civil, rational rebuttal.

I did in my informative, yet sadly deleted, post.

Doomberg and I just attempted to yell reasonably at each other over Skype. I am looking forward to an official announcement about our new, fetish-friendly-as-long-as-they-don't-break-rules stance.

Doom. It REALLY feels like you misunderstand on purpose to be all heroic and protect your favourite people. But you just end up antagonising others through this attitude. U mad cos I insulted ur frends? Well stand back, you've just insulted mine. Do you really think of Enkas so poorly that you would actually think that he's attempting constructive criticism in his post just now (I assume you don't, but if you do, ignore this post by all means). Pro tip: he's not. He's frustrated that OTHER criticisms in the past have been dismissed. He's not even naming names with these half baked insults. But it seems not even expressing any sort of negative emotion is allowed on forums anymore. Again, it's not my fault the targets of the criticism are huge pussies. You 'will not allow anyone to be publicly shamed out of' brainless, reputation-damaging (that of your precious server), fetish-driven roleplay? Then get used to disgusted, excluded newcomers and veterans alike.

Because random criticism == aggressively confronting and insulting people, eh Doom? My big binned post didn't actively insult anyone. I even accompanied most criticisms with advice. If anyone was offended by the mere mention of their name alongside factual recall of what they did or do, it's their problem. Maybe if they don't want to be offended by their own actions in the future, they'll, you know, actually bother to consider why what they're doing might be criticism worthy.

Well, yeah. Harassment is characteristically repetitive. Openly disparaging popular, yet extremely flawed, characters over a long period of time is social suicide as far as aurora is concerned. There IS no harassment, or homophobia. Just straw men and butthurt, horny people constructing them.

I'm on my phone, so I can't talk at length here, but I must say this. What Skull just said is perfectly indicative of why deleting my post was bad. Ignorance abounds.

Yep. As did everything alluding to it. Watch out, your post might be next. Nothing is safe from The Ministry of Truth.

The possessive context is that the tentacles have a use (as Russians might have a dog; the Russians' dog), and there needs to be no 'action' other than the ownership. The case is genitive, not dative. You wouldn't say 'The Russians only dog is brown". You would say 'The Russians' only dog is brown". Hence "The tentacles only other real use is X" is wrong, and should be "The tentacles' only other real use is X". A clarification, perhaps. The use described here can be paraphrased as a function. A function of the tentacles is to help incubate shit. Yes? Also Gollee is correct about tentacles vs. tendrils.

Hi. I, um, replaced your The List topic. Sorry about that. You don't have to put any effort into that anymore, at least, yay...! I obsess over words. Boka's misspelling of soldier made me think of people chucking melted solder at each other. I once accidentally burned someone with a soldering gun, whoops. I like Skrell. I've been zealously pushing for a greater playerbase of squishies. There are new mechanics coming for them, courtesy of Skull - colour telepathy, fear fluid that actually does stuff, and bioluminescence. Read more about that here! I also like helping out with names, flavour text, and backstories. I like a lot of stuff, actually! Some of these things include languages, maths, music, afflictions, and art. My earnest gets me into trouble, sometimes. You should tell us about you, also.
