[quote=@Lugubrious] Yet nobody was instantly frozen or sleeping--because I gave everyone a chance to react, dodge, and do their own thing. I didn't say 'x is frozen', I said 'y tried to freeze x', leaving the response to the other players. Your attempt to vindicate yourself by pinning me as a hypocrite isn't working so well. Everything has turned out exactly as I predicted. Nothing has changed and the discussion is now over. @Everyone, this serves to tell about myself pretty well: yes, I can be irritating and antagonistic at times, but at least I'm not stupid. My aim is continuity and balance, and to that end, sometimes I will try and offer constructive criticisms and suggestions. Is it pompous of me? Maybe, but I'm not calling myself an expert, I'm just trying to offer another perspective. Even if I'm useless most of the time, if there's even the slightest chance that I can help someone else become a better writer, I'll take it. If you don't want me to try and help out in this fashion, just let me know, or prove that you are criticism-proof, and then I will stop. If anyone's wondering, I'm totally open to criticism myself. If anyone has a problem with a single word I've written, just tell me and I'll take another look and try to explain myself. If I can't explain myself, I'll make edits. I admit myself to be fallible. Nah, you go ahead. [/quote] the sleep cloud would be pretty much impossible to evade.
