Actually, since I'm in a pretty bad mood at present, I'm going to be draconian. Take all discussion of this issue to the PMs or I lock the OOC thread until I see fit to re-open it.

Yay!

Yay, a reduction of the GBD!

[Akroma]

GBD ?

[Xantalos]

Gross Bitching Deposit.

[Sanure]

That seems unpleasant Xantalos.

[GreatWyrmGold]

No, nobody wants your examples.

And people say I'm abrasive.

We still call cobalt, cobalt even though we know know it has nothing to do with kobolds. We still call atoms, atoms even though we have shown that they are not indivisible. You merely selected cases that support your argument whilst ignoring ones that do not.

The difference? We don't use "cobalt" and "atom" to refer to something other than the metal or the submolecular particle.

Also, we do indeed call orcas killer whales, and the magic world is fairly stagnant.

Not much, and this world developed exactly as the real world did so you can't say "magic makes it stagnant!" because...it didn't.

Then lock it. See if I care. Lock the in-character thread for all I care. Do you have any idea how much I've been considering leaving this thread just to avoid Akroma?
A lot more since he called you an ignorant asshole for calling a spade a spade.

That seems unpleasant Xantalos.

He is, but it's impolite to say so.
I AM JOKING! IT WAS A JOKE!

[RangerCado]

Please calm down. Akroma, GWG. You both disagree with eachother and neither of you are going to backdown as this just goes down to petty name calling and insults. Just ignore eachothers OOC posts if you have too! I don't want you to fighting every 2 days over something stupid!

[RangerCado]

Gotta go guys. ciao!

[Xantalos]

That seems unpleasant Xantalos.

Yes it is.
Well, the fact that we have one in the first place.

[Sanure]

Go ahead GWG. Leave. No one is stopping you. All you've done is pick fights with Akroma. Hell, you even caused my first forum game to die because you wouldn't stop fighting with one of the players over a stupid little thing. Yeah, Someone has a different opinion than you. So what? Everyone's opinions differ. It's called being human. If all you do is fight about opinions, what does that make you?

Also, that ignorant asshole remark was directed towards you, not Elf. Wording is still important and you obviously chose to ignore it. Please read the entire sentence and it's accompanying sentences before you make assumptions again:

it's not an arguement you ignorant asshole, there is no right and wrong about this in any sense, I stated several times that I chose the name simply because I think it's a nice name, that fits nicely into the lore, and is purposefully chosen over accurate names. You continueing to call it stupid is offensive, and if I didn't have respect for Elf and this game continueing, I'd be raging rather hard.

Notice how Akroma said that If she didn't have any respect for Elf and the game continuing that she would rage hard? That sentence itself says that she was talking to you and not Elf. Makes you saying she called elf the ignorant asshole kinda look silly doesn't it?

Point is:

Elf said take it to the PM and both you and me completely ignored that. Both of us should be quite ashamed for our stupidity. And yes, I did call myself stupid. Fair is fair. I'm off for the night because arguing is stupid. Yeah again, ashamed for arguing.

[Projeck37]

:l
To this whole "argument" for being stupid.

[Sanure]

Agreed Projeck. And now, I'm off for really

The difference? We don't use "cobalt" and "atom" to refer to something other than the metal or the submolecular particle.

Cobalt is based around the idea of kobolds. Atom is based around the idea of being indivisibility. The Wall of Stars is based around the idea that it was a bunch of stars. I don't think anyone would use "The Wall of Stars" to refer to anything else either.

Also, we do indeed call orcas killer whales, and the magic world is fairly stagnant.

Not much, and this world developed exactly as the real world did so you can't say "magic makes it stagnant!" because...it didn't.

He was referring to the magic world not the entire world. You cannot argue that well against something declared with GM-jurisdiction.

You are aware that you are resorting to such a juvenile retort when arguing about the specific naming, not the actual lore, the specific naming of stuff inside a game that seems to be primarily comprised of light-hearted LGBT-based RP where the Grim Reaper is an embodiment of economics and taxes, right?

Cobalt is based around the idea of kobolds. Atom is based around the idea of being indivisibility.

No, they aren't. They were named for that, but saying they are that is like saying that I am a minor Biblical figure. Or my grandfather, if you look at my middle name.
And, again, "star" is still used to mean what it originally meant. "Cobalt" isn't used to refer to kobolds (which, let's face it, aren't usually referred to by people other than low-level D&D players, DF players, and sometimes those who study ancient Germanic cultures), people never use "atomos" to mean "indivisible," and "star" still refers to what they always did.

The Wall of Stars is based around the idea that it was a bunch of stars.

Again, no it isn't. Especially since--as has been repeatedly stated--they are not stars. Saying that the Wall of Stars is based around the idea that it is a bunch of stars is (slightly) more like saying that I'm based on the idea that I am an ancient saint, and also a girl.

He was referring to the magic world not the entire world. You cannot argue that well against something declared with GM-jurisdiction.

Did I miss something? When did a "magic world" come into being? Can you name a single magician that wasn't inextricably entangled in the non-magical world? Very nearly every character who has showed up has come from a nonmagical background.

1. Juvenile retort? No, that was an expression of irritation. The juvenile part was Akroma using ad hominem when Elf was calling our argument an argument.
2. It's a "light-hearted LGBT-based RP where the Grim Reaper is an embodiment of economics and taxes" that I've been part of (and adding to the lore of) for months...pretty close to a year now, I think. If I want it to make sense, I will do my best to make it make sense. Besides, what was the point of posting that cosmology if we weren't supposed to point out issues with it?

[Xantalos]

Hey. Hey.
Why not have Will point out IC that the name's inaccurate? Seems like something he'd do.
