The Last Person to Post Wins - Balius

[Hakuteiken]

Oh, no no, it's perfectly fine. It's good to see debates like these from every person every now and then.

And welcome to the thread o/

Thank you \o

The last time I posted here, I got kicked by an admin, now I'm being welcome.

It was necessary since at the time it didn’t seem like you had anything new or significant to add which was either already said or just going backwards.
Thanks for the friendly advice, will keep that in mind.

It's my personal take on the matter, and a matter which is not particularly branching that deep. Nothing wrong with you seeing it as a rehash of other posts, as I pretty much agree with them most points.
Ad hominem is never a necessary debating element, by the way. There are always other options, including not wanting to further debate to avoid repetition.

I never said it was the root cause. This discussion was primarily about whether people can or cannot whine about breaks in those chapters, not an analytical breakdown on all the problems in OP. It is but one of the many reasons people are throwing in to complain about. Which you seem to agree with.

Yet the discussion I have read seemed to delve into different topics for some reason.
If the entire discussion was about whether people can or cannot do something, it seems there wasn't much to it in the first place.

 

[Copy Panda]

someone care to tldr this conversation for me? :>

 

[Riku]

So you acknowledge the breaks affect the chapter quality

No. I do not. I do however acknowledge it affecting the readers experience. Kinda like binge watching a show vs watching it weekly.

Why were you kicked by an admin? Did you spam a lot here?

Meant the readers experience, poor choice of words on my part.
Though the point is, I really don‘t think you can complain about other people complaining about things which are reasonable to complain about from the reader‘s perspective.

Yeah, I haven't seen you for a while?

Was it that bastard Kaiten? He always liked to kick us around

Fair enough, should just ignore when things get repeated.

That’s because there wasn’t much to it, it was but a simple thing, yet branched out because of disagreement.

No, it's a bland joke I have been making for years, because Gary said "Who invited you to this thread once" jokingly and I responded by not coming back and bugging him about how he kicked me from win thread every once in a while.

On another note, we were on good terms with Kait for the most part. If anything, I might be an exception.

Yeah, read your previous post. Seems like the poor wording you mentioned led to a broader discussion, but it is now pretty much resolved with clarification.

On your point, you can complain about other people complaining, but that wouldn't amount to anything, either, and is mostly pointless.
I'd consider it similar to the frustration the readers get when hiatuses happen. Some people want to emphasize art, storyline, characters and manga pace, and seeing others putting the emphasis on mangaka taking breaks takes away from their discussion experience, in a sense.

Oh, yeah, one of the few. I was actually buddies with him at the start, we got along great together in the Otaku Café forum, but I don't know.. he changed a lot. Especially when he came around this place.

That's basically where Hyst and I started a rebellion of some sorts.

 

[Holt]

"Notice me, Holt-senpai!"

But I did that already

I saw it all

Saw what?

Btw, to think Haku came in here...not sure I have seen him anywhere apart from his thread since Bleach

I don't know how he acted around this place. We mostly interacted in moderator section and otaku cafe. I mostly respected his way of handling things, but I don't remember talking to him just before the time he left, so I didn't notice a particular behavior change myself.

I have made brief appearances in otaku theater and mafia game sections, but aside from that, highly unlikely you saw me around.

They are imho not reasonable. I can understand the anxiety, but it still Doesn't justify taking a piss at someone known as hardworing taking a break once a month.

It is childish. And if everything is subject to criticism, then is criticism itself. Or whining in this case.

Ah, this was far before he left though

 

[Holt]

Ah yeah Haku, there was that one MG you participated in, not in Otaku Cafe much so I'd miss that too

Was it really once a month? Could swear it was a bit more often and during rather unopportune times in the fight.

Sure but complaining about whining you perceive as childish can easily also be perceived as nothing more than childish whining, with which you add nothing but more of the same thing to it.

 

[Hakuteiken]

Ah, this was far before he left though

I see.
I wasn't close enough to him to tell the difference, to begin with. I just remember our few interactions becoming really sparse in during his last six months or so. Perhaps what you say dates back to way before, since I never knew how he was acting in casual places like FF.

Food with rice is never bad. Though I almost always need some sort of sauce for the rice else it feels a bit too dry. You don't have that problem with your meal there?

Ah that MG had a rather sad end. Where town lost because he had like 3 penalties from inactivity and mafias just openly laughed and locked on him to end it.

Nah, it's greasy (I guess) enough. As soon as I start eating I stir it all up, so there's barely any 'blank' rice.

I can't really recall that one...not sure I even played..though missing an MG game sounds weird

Embarrassingly low quality game in terms of discussion, people getting lynched for saying nothing or saying too much, purely based on random whims and inactivity leading to the end.
Still acts as a great deterrent to keep from me ever trying to play in another one of these games.
