I'm typically against cancer, and I really don't know Dogberry very well, but I'm all for him spreading.

Along with "We have a means of making this work RP wise". There is nothing for anyone to even criticize off of!

It's as ludicrous as critiquing someone for roleplaying as a Sultansworn. Just on the fact that they said they were a Sultansworn.

Eh, it doesn't take nearly as much suspension of disbelief to accept someone role-playing a Sultansworn as it does to accept someone portraying a character able to take down a named lore character (which is essentially what a Primal is, even with the angle of them being summoned more than once). The degree in which suspension of disbelief is required differs from concept to concept. 

Plus if people can't handle any criticism then it may be wise for them to avoid latching onto a concept that is going to be seen as controversial if they're not willing to back it up. That's not to suggest that they're forced to accept anybody's opinion but at the same time they shouldn't be surprised when criticism emerges.

...and not to poke the hornet's nest but just because a particular event is well received by certain aspects of the community it doesn't mean it can't be subjected to critique. Popularity doesn't always equal something being amazing.

I actually just made an account to make a post after reading this thread, but I'm pretty sure this covered it far better than I ever could. IMO? Criticism is just someone's opinion at the end of the day, and if you don't jive (Much like the criticize-er... Person thing) with their opinion, sometimes you just have to shrug and move on. No matter what you do, there's going to be at least one person out there in the world who will dislike what you're doing.

Welcome to the RPC, where we don't care if you don't approve.

Shut this thread down.

We've officially hit the point of no return!

I'd like to say, admin left so fast Sad They're not on to deal with the spam??

Let's strive to avoid getting another thread locked due to thinly veiled insults and image spam, eh?

Seriously OP...you rant in another thread about this topic and you go and make a thread about it because your feelings are hurt and you need people to back you up. GG.

If that was really the intent, it backfired pretty spectacularly, didn't it?


RE: In response to people taking Primal fights ICly... - Cato - 02-02-2015

You don't have to agree with the OP's rant. Though nobody gets to dictate how somebody else feels about a particular concept. Was it tasteless posting a rant in an event thread? Maybe so, but it's not more tasteless than the not-so-subtle snipes being directed at anyone who attempts to play the role of devil's advocate and point out that things aren't so black and white in a community made up of all sorts of different posters from various different backgrounds and communities that do things differently.

If people want to salvage things and turn this back into a constructive debate, that'd be great - if not, maybe it'd be best to avoid the image/meme spam?

I haven't loved a thread so much since The Christmas Miracle.

He's right. 

This entire thread is a waste of time.
