B!tchfest: a healthy release for our non-roleplay annoyances.

Static mesh hitboxes.

Quit blocking my bullets with your air, god damn it.

Mahz's Dev Journal

@Ellri

You already quoted that and I am not arguing against it.

@Frizan

You are still cherry picking what I say. I already said that what people write in PMs are their business, but when the concept is brought into Interest Check, an open forum, it becomes everybody else's. Whether or not you agree with what I say does not change the fact that successful argumentative discourse requires an argument to actually be made against the claim, lest it devolve into juvenile "I'm right and you're wrong."

@LegendBegins

"Argumentative discourse" first requires an argument to be made in the first place. All I can see is you pontificating about what you FEEL is the case. Feelings are not arguments, they are opinions at best. I responded to your opinions with opinions of my own.

As for the Interest Checks...buddy, they're just Interest Checks. The RP isn't going on IN the Interest Check more than likely. And even if it were, one is not required to read it. If you need to be ABSOLUTELY SURE about the contents, you can open it up, skim a few posts or so, and decide whether or not it caters to your delicate sensibilities, and act accordingly.

<Snipped quote by Frizan>

Analogies exist in order to make concepts simple and easy to understand, and the Dev journal does not exist to be hostile to other RPG members. My entire point from those words is that the simple fact that something is an established genre does not mean it needs to be encouraged or given easy access to for minors. It also has the potential to hurt the reputation of the Guild, all of which I outlined at the top of this page. A rule of thumb is that if a line cannot be drawn so you can point out a clear difference between what should and should not be done, the movement that requires that line should not be made in the first place.

@LegendBegins

Except that what Ellri and co are proposing is not to explicitly bring easy access smut to minors, it's to give the people that wish to participate in such things tools that would make the process smoother. Will some of these people be minors? Possibly. I'd wager it's a very, very small percentage of users though. It's impossible to tell real age on these forums anyway. I could be six for all you know.

And the reputation of the Guild as perceived by moralizing, busybody soccermoms(AKA the only people that would care about smut being on the guild via PMs) is on nobody's mind. Not even Mahz's. Why? Because they don't matter, and are not the kind of people the Guild was made for. It was made for people that like to write stories. Are some of these stories a tad raunchy? Yeah. So? They're still just stories, floating amidst the vast ocean of other stories on the Guild, smut or otherwise.

@Ellri

That really has nothing to do with what I said.

@LegendBegins

Then cut the "analogy" bullshit and speak plainly. What is your point?

I think very negatively of people

Something something crawling in skin something something I should go see a doctor this seems pretty serious

Moralizers piss me off to no end. They often just nitpick at some random out-of-context statement and go off on a several-pragraph tirade, like about what is "truly" "mature" or "right", as if they are the world's sole arbitrator of these things. Though really it seems to be that a moralizer doesn't moralize to possibly inform someone of right and wrong, but to feed their own ego and ride their high-horse into the sunset.

Doesn't help that most of them are complete hypocrites, ready to throw insult after insult(mainly passive-aggressively) at people RIGHT BEFORE/AFTER castigating someone for those very same insults.

<Snipped quote by Frizan>

I wasn't sure who goes next in our collab, me or Schaft? I assume Schaft? But I can smuggle in a quick reply if need be for Sevine.

@MacabreFox

I think either would make sense at this point in time.

The Elder Scrolls: Fruits of Contention - Chapter 1 (Completed)

I guess that would explain why it's gotten so quiet in this bitch. Anyhow, I'll have a reply up after work.

@Leidenschaft

Any chance on that reply soonly, mang
