@jgn Well, there isn't a singular thing called "rules as written", and while lots of people use it they each have their own interpretations. People can't understand your problem because they don't share your interpretation of the rules, and your questions are getting downvotes because both the question and the way you want it answered aren't clear.

I mean, that's a possible explanation that doesn't involve a hostile collusion, anyway.

@Glazius I am fine with people not sharing my interpretation of the rules when I am asking for them to interpret the rules. However I think that being dismissive or hostile towards questions about the rules is totally uncalled for. I think the meaning of RAW is well understood, some people who are perhaps against the concept of RAW like to say that because others don't agree on some particular rule that means that RAW as a concept is invalid. That isn't the case, RAW doesn't mean no arguments.

I'm not sure characterizing the alternative as "hostile collusion" is very fair.

@jgn You don't think hostile people are colluding against you?

@Glazius Not as far as I know if... Are you trying to imply that there are?

@jgn So, who is being hostile to your questions and downvoting them, if not people colluding against you.

@Glazius I'm not sure if you are trying to lead me somewhere or try to guess what I'm thinking. I said that people are hostile towards question askers and perhaps in particular/exclusively towards questions about RAW.

Where did you get this idea that there are hostile people colluding to downvote me?

Were people talking about that in chat or something..?

You're talking about it right now.

@Glazius Yes? In response to you talking about it @_@;;

At this point we're dissecting the conversation about the conversation, and that's not likely to go anywhere productive or with good feelings.

@Glazius I'm not sure what your point is, is this some trick like when someone hard of hearing says "Huh? Apples? Whats this about apples?" and people respond "No, no apples" "There! You just said apples again!"

Glazius's first message to you in this conversation is pointing directly at your earlier comment about feeling "this site" is "hostile" and has "general hatred." No tricks, just responding to your original choice of words.

@BESW There's quite a logical leap to get from there to "hostile people colluding against you"

May I borrow your Jedi mind reading for a second? I think that perhaps you disagree with something I said and rather than say that you find it easier to frame my statement as some crazy claim. Could that be close to what you are thinking?

@jgn Seems reasonable to me. Again, "this site" and "general hatred" are good "people working together" phrases.

@BESW Perhaps you see a lot more conspiracies in life than I do.

People like chocolate, but I don't think there is a conspiracy to pretend chocolate is amazing. People just individually like it.

Maybe you're reading the word "collude" differently than I am.

And they certainly aren't pretending to like it just to spite me or something!

Collude means to work together deceptively, what do you think it means?

Regardless, you can take what I said literally, it was not supposed to imply a secret conspiracy behind individual peoples actions......

But I'm just here to say, if this is going to be about dissecting peoples' terminology rather than talking about the site, please take it out of General Chat.

@BESW You know that it is my terminology that is being dissected by you right..?

@_@;;;;;;

Yes, I got caught up in it and I shouldn't have. I thought maybe it could be clarified quickly and easily. I was wrong.

Sure, I'm game. Can you transfer this over?

hello

Hi

how is everyone

I'm feeling a bit run-down. But on the upswing

How are you

I'm okay. I finished my animation

I'm really happy with how it came out

Nice. What kind of animation?

It's an animatic type thing

@AGirlHasNoName wanna see it

yes I would

@AGirlHasNoName drive.google.com/file/d/10Dph7xgzJ_Px2iNxbkoYacBHR8z28GBA/…

here

sorry if it's not very good

No it's good.

I like it.

How long did it take you to make.

I've been working on it since the beginning of fall.

ahh not bad. I feel like it would take me years to make something like that.

(It probably would because I would need to learn basic animation first)

Um the part that took the longest was designing the characters as I had to learn how to draw believable humanoids

also um photo shop made it easy as I could pose my characters using puppet warp.

And if so..., have you written it yet?

not sure. I might make another animation

Also Yeah I haven't written it
