The Orb

Okay, Boom-chan.

 

Fine by me.

you did not hyphenate "little-known"

this entry now must contain small yet obvious facts about you.

#25: Dok knows how to type

What she said.

That's what she said.

He doubts she did what they claimed she had.

For the life of me, I just do NOT understand why one wouldn't just buy a cheapie mp3 player and ditch any thinking beyond that.

 

I want to listen to music, not be a guinea pig of market analysis for some nerd at Apple.

That's what I did. Only problem is that the earbuds stopped working after about a week.

Yeah, but BIONICLE never starts a name with X.

Xia.

Which is why you shoulda went with an Aho-Chan-style upgrade *flicks her new tail bells*

[questionable image]

 

I hope that's allowed.

You should edit that image so it doesn't have the language, and remove the link at the bottom. Even though the site's really funny, I don't think BZP would permit it.

 

Bunda's a pokefreak! D=

DO NOT QUOTE AN IMAGE IF YOU THINK IT MAY BREAK THE RULES

I miss Pluto being a planet, as it makes the "My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas" acronym completey obsolete.

My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Noodles.

Steal $90, then donate $10 to charity so you won't have a heavy conscience.

LISTEN TO THIS MAN

Random suggestion:

 

Most sequel guys would leave out stuff from the prev RPGs to 'give newbies a chance to integrate better.' Bad. unless you make it against the rules to speak about stuff happening in TFD1 and 2. SO yeah, add stuff in.

We aren't removing all of that from the canon. We're just not going to make it all about the previous games. We're kind of putting things back where they belong, just so that it's easier to navigate the universe as a newbie.

Hey so like:

 

If it's fifteen years into the future, can I have Hauntare changed from like, what he is to an old, angry samurai helicopter whose rotors turn into swords?

Nope. None of the characters from TFD really aged much in TFDO, and robots probably wouldn't age anyway. So to do so would be against canon and stuff. You could make him all samurai swordcopter and grumpy whenever you get an upgrade, but random personality switches are frowned upon.

3. And a practice in writing. Additionally, there's a difference. When you write a novel, the only thing you can do is irritate the editor(s) with your inevitably many, many grammatical errors sure to result from writing a few hundred pages of stuff. Here, you're writing for the benefit of others.

 

The average guy goes:

"Yes."

 

I think a little description would be in order. Like so:

Jack frowned as he contemplated Joe's question; sure, the prospect of a free orange soda was tempting, but he had a lot of homework to do, no? Thought about it for a moment, before deciding that he needed a break anyways. "Sure."

 

4. Yeah. By people who're paid to do it.

3. I completely agree in that situation. But that's what most RPGers do as well. At least 60% do what you did in that situation. Also I believe you misused a semicolon in that post.

4. And chances are, you'd get proto points. Still, I concede that point.

@ The Orb:

 

4. And I'm fairly certain every other person on this site was taught to read and write as well.

Well of course. But I was making a comparison, not a point.

It hurts my eyes to read this tripe. Please, if you are so filled with hate for those who can't spell or write good posts, go teach them to do it better. Stop sitting on the sidelines, screaming your hatred for those who don't live up to your standards, and just try being nice. A helpful piece of advice and a kind nudge in the right direction will help far more than a hateful, rage-filled rant. Do you think these people wake up, say "I'm going to write a stupid post today, just to make others mad"? They don't. They try to express their ideas. They may be a little childish, but they'll grow out of it. They don't write bad dialogue or use incorrect puncuation on purpose, they just don't know how to do it better. It is people like you, who harm rather than help, who condemn when you could nurture, who truly harm the RPGs of BZPower.

Alright, going to address this in points here.

 

1. And in turn, it hurts my eyes to read your poor choice of a font color. That makes us even.

 

2. Alright, going to subdivide this.

a. Called spellcheck, anyways. Most computers come with a word processor.

b. But nice is boring! Alright. Fine, where did I say about people, by dint of not speeling rigt (Yes, deliberate typoes here), fail?

 

3. It appears like it, yes. But as for expressing ideas, we seem to be at a slight impasse here: what is an idea here?

 

I feel that an idea is something that takes time. Time to think up, time to run through, time to digest, and ultimately, time to decide whether that idea is worth posting. Such a lengthy process should take at least a few minutes. Now, while I do realize that secondary sources are not that reliable in general, taking Necro's example of a post being outdated because he types it up for a few minutes suggests obscene progression, which in turn, would require a lotta posts, which then leads to seconds to think it up and type. So tell me, are they bringing forth ideas or spewing out the first thing that pops in?

 

Cuz the latter doesn't count.

 

4. I'm not babysitting them. I had do it myself.

 

5. Again, not babysitting. Heck, 'tis called harsh loving.

1. This is irrelevant. And you probably just have your monitor contrast set too high.

2a. Spellcheck doesn't really work for some people. It can give you words similar to what you typed, but if you couldn't spell it the first time, you're likely to choose the wrong word too.

2b. You didn't, but it's been said before, and it's an arguement fairly simila to this one.

3. This is true in general. BUT IT'S JUST AN RPG. Were I writing a novel, I would definitely take time to plan out everything I wrote. But RPGs are games. Things are generally more fun if it moves faster, and short and quick posts are easier to write and far easier to respond to. Not to mention that occasionally there's really no point in writing a long response. If I asked you a yes or no question, would you take a half hour to carefully word your answer?

4. So basically you're saying you don't want to make an effort to help? And I'm fairly certain you were taught to read and write.
