Is there a phrase for referring to yourself as me than one person (e.g "we")

Google only returns "Illeism" which is third person

bobble

I've heard it referred to as the "royal we"

There's a character in Saga (the one that's a sequel to Epic and precursor to Edda) that is waaay too into themselves who uses it

That last message was extremely useful information, I'll have you know

Ben

1:26 AM

I suppose that fite ("I say we but I actually mean I")

bobble

fite who? why fite?

Ben

Fee-fi-fo-fite?

AncientSwordRage

@Ben probably not what you're after, but there's one, as in oneself

Ben

Yeah... It's no big deal, was just curious.

Streamers and YouTubers do it a lot "We did it!"

They do that to include the audience, but you can imagine what it would be like to be sitting alone in a room talking about yourself as a group of people

AncientSwordRage

@Ben ahhh

We

In Modern English, we is a plural, first-person pronoun. == Morphology == In Standard Modern English, we has six distinct shapes for five word forms: we: the nominative (subjective) form us and 's: the accusative (objective; also called the 'oblique'.: 146 ) form our: the dependent genitive (possessive) form ours: the independent genitive (possessive) form ourselves: the reflexive formThere is also a distinct determiner we as in we humans aren't perfect, which some people consider to be just an extended use of the pronoun. == History == We has been part of English since Old English, having come...

@linksassin Upon review, I feel like there might be another reason as to why people might "question" mod intentions. For example, I personally am always interested in how best to manage a site (as you may know I have put my name in for mod before), so questioning certain actions may not always be "double checking" on a mod's choices. I certainly learned something, and I agree with the intent. It makes sense.

However, I'm not exactly sure how that might come across in some situations. We can't always assume the best, or worst intentions in every case.

linksassin

@Ben That's true. And definitely something I have done in the past. I'm not implying that isn't the case here. Just that I would prefer it doesn't become a regular occurrence. Happy to answer any question someone has for me, so long as I don't have to justify everything I do.

Ben

Perfectly understandable :) I've been in the same situation many times... It's always a matter of how you're feeling, how they're behaving, etc. that can play a part in how you respond. And as a "catch all" statement, it stands very nicely :)

Okay, so club day was today, and our rpg club got a page and a half of sign ups!! We actually ended up putting dice on the table, along with our trifold (which I didn’t have to do cause I bugged the other officers into getting it done on time so that’s good) and a few other things — a copy of traveller mongoose and an old DCC free rpg day thing (both mine), and one actual d&d book.

Also, a mini of a griffin that I painted a while ago and brought today. And my friend’s character sheets with all her art on them

It was nice to see interest

BESW

Nice!

Bardic Wizard

Also, it was hilarious because at one point I said “come check out rpg club! It’s fun! We play games and roll dice and argue! Mostly we play games and roll dice though!” And my friend said “no, we mostly argue”, so I said “no we don’t! You’re wrong!” Which then led to her saying that I was proving her point. But it was funny

The unofficial officer (her frosh brother) called it “a prime example of what happens in rpg club”

Medix2

10:17 AM

@ThomasMarkov I mean, the Blindsight Q isn't a dupe because it also asks about Trusight and Darkvision and just alternative vision in general

Thomas Markov

Looks like a dupe to me.

Medix2

But your target doesn't mention Truesight at all?

Nowhere in there can I see an answer to the question "Do Blindsight and Darkvision count as seeing?"

Thomas Markov

“a creature with blindsight can still do anything that requires sight”

Maybe ask them to restrict the question darkvision and truesight?

Medix2

I meant Trusight not Blindsight mb

Thomas Markov

Because “does blindsight count as seeing” has unambiguously been asked before.

Medix2

10:22 AM

I really don't think that changes anything. They ask, explicitly, about at least three different kinds of vision and whether they count as seeing, and you closed it as a dupe of an answer to one of them

Thomas Markov

Q: Does blindsight or tremorsense count for line of sight?

If I have tremorsense or blindsight, do I have line of sight if I'm otherwise blind? In particular, would this allow me to teleport out of a Stinking Cloud?

Then the question should be closed for needs more focus.

Cuz we’ve got a question already for tremorsense too.

@doppelgreener Good thinking.

The only issue is that he designed it in 2015, so anything published after it that changed things isn't part of what he considered.

But I had a pretty good time running it.

I also briefly considered Mutants and Masterminds, but it didn't fit the theme of the campaign.

Sep 5 at 13:30, by AncientSwordRage

It makes me think the best system for a m&m character I made years ago might be Fate? It was one of the few characters I made without knowing the system first so there's not a perfect match between how I imagined them and how they work in that system

Sep 5 at 14:29, by AncientSwordRage

They were a take on Spider-Man, but they turned into a tarantula person... Instead of Spidey sense they had a fear inducing power. And instead of webbing they had different poisons. Also really good at grappling.

it's a good system, but felt very complicated to make characters

play wasn't too bad from what I remember?

@NautArch it's v. good

AncientSwordRage

12:00 PM

I don't know how it compares to Masks: A New Generation

NautArch

With my upcoming TPK, I'm thinking about adding a twist. Unbeknownst to the players, they are actually all under a true polymorph. At some point much later in the dungeon if they experience an anti magic field they'll find out. Good idea / bad idea?

The "new characters" will wake up with no memories in the drow dungeon.

AncientSwordRage

@NautArch seems little too much like DM fiat I guess?

fiat <- wrong word

NautArch

Yeah, it very much could. Probably a bad idea.

doppelgreener

That's a hard reset and a hard story change and a hard retcon. This is now a story about people waking up in a dungeon trying to understand what's happened and how they got here. Also, it tells the players: whatever backstory and life you had made up for these characters was basically lie.

Thomas Markov

I'll reopen this and yall can close for "needs focus".

AncientSwordRage

12:03 PM

unless you start off with them being uncovered by the drow, and they know in advance

@doppelgreener if they buy into it, great, but not good to 'spring' on players

doppelgreener

If the players confront a TPK is reached, I would present that as one of the options: "so where do you all want to go from here? New story? New characters in the same world? Also I've got this wacky idea that's an option, but we don't gotta go with it, here..."

AncientSwordRage

@ThomasMarkov (PSsssstt.... or flag it for a mod to sort out)

Thomas Markov

@AncientSwordRage I dont think that's necessary lol

just VTC it and it'll go into the queue

NautArch

@doppelgreener this group would very likely not care about that. But I still think it's a bad idea.

AncientSwordRage

@ThomasMarkov it seems to be asking a consistent question though about different forms of sight?

doppelgreener

12:11 PM

This seems like one clear coherent question to me. The subject is clearly defined: alternative forms of vision that aren't mundane eyesight. That we've covered some of this in other questions doesn't mean this is any less of a focused question, and doesn't mean the querent has to reduce their scope on account of those—just cite those past questions in answering this one. Requiring querents to ask a different question specifically because part of it has been asked before elsewhere isn't how we do things here. — doppelgreener 39 secs ago

@doppelgreener Im not expecting them to ask a different question...

AncientSwordRage

@ThomasMarkov I don't think the SE model always maps neatly to people real world problems unfortunately?

doppelgreener

Usually we don't like to have multiple questions in one, and, in particular, we already have questions on this site addressing blindsight, blindsense, tremorsense, and creature sense. I think it would be best to reword this question to specifically ask about either Darkvision or Truesight (not both) and to explain where the confusion about whether they actually count as seeing stems from. — Medix2 2 hours ago

Both you and Medix2 suggested that the question should be altered to fit into the scope around past questions.

Thomas Markov

12:14 PM

Yes? You're explaining how Im not expecting a different question...

doppelgreener

I'm saying: that doesn't make sense in how we operate.

Question A having asked about Z doesn't mean question B ought not ask about the broader picture of X+Y+Z.

Thomas Markov

@doppelgreener My understanding is that is always how we operate...

@Someone_Evil thoughts?

Someone_Evil

Is the question problematically broad? Is there a reason the more limited question can't just be a good resource for an answer?

NautArch

I think it would help to define the vision types they are interested in. NOt quite sure darkvision is the same as truesight.

doppelgreener

@NautArch alternative forms of vision. it's quite clear.

Thomas Markov

12:21 PM

@Someone_Evil It's asking about several different senses that all have their own unique rules, and several of those senses have already been covered in other questions.

NautArch

@doppelgreener I just want to avoid "what about...X"

Maybe it's not necessary, but I think it'd be helpful.

Someone_Evil

I'll admit I'm a touch rusty on the visions thing, but doesn't it have a pretty general answer?

doppelgreener

@ThomasMarkov This means those should be easy to cite.

NautArch

@doppelgreener sight?

doppelgreener

a good typo

AncientSwordRage

12:23 PM

@Someone_Evil no, but they're all highly related

Someone_Evil

Does taking out blindsight reduce the actual scope of the question or just the number of question marks?

Thomas Markov

@Someone_Evil No, I don't see how a general answer is possible here.

NautArch

@Someone_Evil I think so, it's more of the outliers like blindsight.

or tremor

AncientSwordRage

@doppelgreener they typos was ex-sighting

doppelgreener

@ThomasMarkov that's answer material: it varies case by case, here's the examples the question mentioned.

AncientSwordRage

12:24 PM

@ThomasMarkov I'd love a question that just said "Alternate forms of sight - how do?" even if the answer was 2/3 links and summaries to other questions

Thomas Markov

If I were to write an answer to this as written, I would have to include a section for each sense.

doppelgreener

@ThomasMarkov sure, and that's fine

AncientSwordRage

@ThomasMarkov but a small amount could be just a link and a summary

doppelgreener

what part of that is problematic such that the format doesn't work?

just ... write that for an answer. we've seen more complex answers to simpler questions.

Someone_Evil

If it varies by case, can't an answer give the general criteria and then show for each case, that doesn't sound too broad

Thomas Markov

12:25 PM

@doppelgreener that's basically my working definition of needs more focus

doppelgreener

@ThomasMarkov that's the wrong definition then

"you need different sections in this answer to cover a few different things" does not make a question too broad

Thomas Markov

This just seems to me like a pretty open and shut "needs more focus" question, based on how we've used the close reason in the past. But I don't have a vote any more, so it doesn't really matter.

Someone_Evil

And I don't think it's obvious from the question why they're different, and I'd like to give an answer the opportunity to show why

doppelgreener

One question can ask about a single multifacted thing when it actually makes sense to ask about them together and consider that a single multifaceted thing. "How do melee weapons work against different armor types?" for a theoretical small game could have a different answer for each melee weapon and each armor type, but that's on answers to tackle, and doesn't require the question to be split into individual one-to-one matches.

But "How do melee weapons work against different armor types? Also, how does a fireball work against cloth armor?" is two fairly distinct separable questions that don't have much connection and don't really have any case for being asked together; they can be asked separately.

Thomas Markov

(also the title doesnt match the body question.)

Medix2

12:33 PM

@doppelgreener That is not how I meant that to be expressed. My idea is that the general case is too broad and a specific should be chosen

doppelgreener

@ThomasMarkov the title adequately describes the various questions asked in the body, of which there are multiple

Thomas Markov

@doppelgreener No, the title is a much more general question, part of which is not covered in the body at all.

doppelgreener

oh, you're right

Medix2

@doppelgreener Voters could disagree with one part of the answer, which, as far as I'm aware, is something we try to avoid

doppelgreener

well, it clearly indicates the topic and is clearly coherent with the body

Thomas Markov

12:35 PM

Fixed the title to match body scope.

NautArch

@Medix2 Thats a solid point.

doppelgreener

@Medix2 Not exactly: answers can always be a good answer but have something in them we disagree with. I can always get some part of my analysis wrong as part of answering a super standard question. That's not the trigger for separating these questions. The trigger is that the question has an entirely separable topic that doesn't make sense to be asked together, such that we'd be packaging multiple totally unrelated answers into one answer.

In this case, the facets of answers on alternative sight are in fact very closely related.

Thomas Markov

@doppelgreener "I disagree wth your analysis of truesight and tremorsense, but I agree with your analysis of blindsight and dark vision" How should I vote in this case?

Medix2

Well, each one relies entirely on the wording of the feature, which are all different

doppelgreener

@ThomasMarkov The same way you'd vote if someone asked me how fireballs work against cloth armor, and I got my section about attacks right but my section about critical hits wrong.

Medix2

12:37 PM

But I can see how they're all a big related concept. I might just port over my other answer tbh

Thomas Markov

@doppelgreener confused thomas noises

doppelgreener

You gotta use your considered personal judgement here.

Someone_Evil

@ThomasMarkov I'd assume for the hypothetical system in question critical hits are a thing with fireballs. If that was the cause of the confusion

doppelgreener

@Medix2 right, that's true. to a querent, they seem collected and it's reasonable to just ask about them broadly. the fact they're different and case by case is in the domain of answers to point out—teach the author how to distinguish them.

Medix2

Yeah I'll probably just get ready for today, pack for my trip, do homework, and if there's time left, start up a lengthy answer

doppelgreener

12:39 PM

@Medix2 I suggest using that but defintiely not porting it directly.
