My week has been too eventful.

Enough so that I actually did buy teddy grahams for myself.

what do you think of starting up the clan wars again? I'd be more than willing to help

I wanna kidnap you and eat goldfish and teddy grahams together.

I did not know that. XD

alright then point to Jason then.

omg
thank you for digging up that post
i lol'd so hard

Another mod on my last 30 visitors...

I must have been bad xP

It's cool. Thanks for responding.

I took the test and was placed in Nayru. I asked to switch to Din and got lucky. I don't think the current test is designed to give any sort of relevant summary of a test takers personality or interests. I think most new members are placed randomly based on the decision of the person in charge of placing the member. If you're going to force people to stay in a clan, or claim that the clan assignment is supposed to actually reflect the personality of its members, then you should allow the members of the clans to have a say in the types of questions that will be included. There should also be polls for the members to give their opinions on specific subjects or to attempt to identify the trending tastes of each clan. Assuming that the clan moderators and super moderators are keeping up with the trends of all of the currently active clan members is ludicrous.

I think that if the clan test were designed to actually summarize a persons personality and interests there would be more of a legitimate reason to deny people from switching if they don't think they fit in.


I probably am. It really came across as if Jason just said no because he didn't want to give me the time of day.

I prefer to stick to the forums for now.

My response to your post, you can at least take the time to respond to mine. http://www.zeldauniverse.net/forums/4221700-post37.html

Except that no one has actually taken the time to explain any of it in any of the threads.

You aren't going to respond to my post?

phenomenal eyesight you have there m'dear doggie :>>>!
*tickals** ^_______^

that is the most hysterical thing I've seen in a while

Well yeah, like I said, what I've seen of them from the outside has put me off of ever wanting to be in one.

That, and I don't tend to socialize on this site much.

I guess I have to give you that one.

Well I don't know how much of it actually gets discussed in staff, but I just see a lot that upsets people commonly. And sometimes even mods.
Well... that's a stupid argument to begin with so I'm assuming it would have gotten quashed if it got out of hand

Yeah, that's pretty much exactly why I knew nobody would bother discussing it civilly, even if I just asked about it like this. I'm not exactly hoping anyone will want to change it, because I know they won't.
Ha ha, that's my line.

Well in terms of encouraging separation, it's just something I've noticed.
I don't know, to someone who is actually in a clan, maybe it seems like much less of a deal, but since I've never been in one, I might just notice it much more often instead of viewing it as something that commonly goes on or becoming used to it.

But in my experience, from what I've seen others post about and from what people have talked to me about, it just felt like clan drama goes on a whole hell of a lot. With the drama I've seen, and with each of the clans' generally self-admitted attitudes, it's really made me never want to join any of them.

Ha ha, I do, but that's just me.
Again that's why I've never wanted to make a thread about it, because I knew nobody would entertain it and it would just devolve into arguments for no real reason.
But thanks again for addressing these VMs, it was always something I was curious of the reasoning for.

Well yeah, I get that, but most of the time all I see is people arguing about the clans they're in. I've seen tons of members all the time get pissed off at each other for clan swaps and the like, and it's ludicrous. To me as an outsider, it just seems to promote separation more than belonging. It's one of the reasons I am put off from ever joining one.
That's what I meant-- I meant that in many situations, it would seem that either the member wants a clan swap because they want to be with people they're more comfortable with, and if they don't, they stop posting in the clan that they're in. It just seems counterintuitive to discourage people from using those sections.
Yeah, that's basically my point, really. Basically the only reason someone would NEED a swap is if they know more people in another one/don't like the people they're with.
Again, that's just kind of why three doesn't seem worth the trouble.
That's pretty much exactly what I imagined they would be anyway, only maybe hidden to all but members so guests don't see that kind of clutter.

That's a legitimate point, yeah. But at the same time, there are many mods that (it seems) are only really active in the clans anyway (given that I have no idea who half the people are because I never see them post anywhere), so there are already people that specifically keep a tighter watch on the clans, but at the same time if it were all merged into one it would be messier.

In the end though, it still just doesn't seem like a good idea to me, it feels like it encourages being exclusive in a way that causes problems than anything. And that's from personal experience with what I've heard from others frequently, too. It causes a significant chunk of drama.

But that's just me.

Also sorry for stretching out your wall so much

Ah, thanks for taking the time for this VM. This is just something I've always wondered.
Yeah.... sorta. Most of the things I'll say fall under the same "problem" I see.

Pretty much all of those fall apart when the problems are brought up, such as the example you gave of everyone going to a specific clan because more people are there that they are comfortable with. And if there is a limit to prevent them from doing that, wouldn't that make them unhappy in the current clan and make them less likely to even be active in it at all?

I figure, the whole point of the clans was to be a big area for spam and things that are hidden from view on the main forums for guests/other members. If that's all they are, I see no reason to segregate them all like that. To me, it seems like we could well have one single one and just use it as intended-- as a spammier/less strict area more meant for that kind of socializing.

I don't know, I just always thought the idea of separating them into three was a bad idea and encourages exclusivity.

And I know tons of people will say this sounds like me whining, but in all honesty I don't ever expect anyone to take it seriously so I'm just asking this out of curiosity.

I thought you said it never rains there? And how can it not have hallways? That seems so strange.

I really miss geometry. It was fun and made sense. All of the triangles and laws to figure out angles... fairly useless in my life, but entertaining.

It didn't rain that much last year... I don't think. And either way, I pulled out my backpack and found an umbrella in the bottom of it. Something that could've been useful if I had known about it last year

My internet went down completely and then I went to take a shower, so sorry for no response after that. It's like we are doomed

Ok, as long as you agree with me then we're all good.
