Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments V―On a Saner Forum, We Wouldn't Need this Index
Just noticed this in the rules:
Rule E: Quotes that contain redundant information need not be included. This reduces clutter. The quote should only be included if it provides new information or clarity, or if it expounds upon information included in a prior comment. This reduces clutter. The quote should only be included if it provides new information or clarity, or if it expounds upon information included in a prior comment.
Also :
Rule F: The index-keeper (Jasdoif) has the job of updating the index in keeping with thread-goer consensus.... (currently Jasdoif) ....

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments V―On a Saner Forum, We Wouldn't Need this Index
Okay, so we'd be looking at....
Reading Too Much Into It 🍌The Colors of the Council of Clans' Barriers Are Not a Portal Reference
"I've never played Portal and forgot it existed until you just pointed it out."#1157 2019/03/01
(Reminder to self: alliteration or not, "Councilor Cloistering Constructions" is way too unclear compared to "Barriers".)
I checked with the Department of Redundancy Department again, and their stance hasn't changed (though they were perfectly happy to repeat what they said): The Index guidelines aren't presented in quotes, so the repetition doesn't violate the rule that applies to quotes.
But I am the Index keeper...to exactly the same degree as ThePhantasm was. (Admittedly I was wondering if anyone would notice when I simply changed the name with the new thread when I took over curating...five days away from five years ago. I'm marginally disappointed that it took this long for anyone to say anything )FeytouchedBanana eldritch disciple avatar by...me!

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments V―On a Saner Forum, We Wouldn't Need this Index
Seems like a quote worth including; I certainly would have been swayed by other posters that it was a Portal reference otherwise.
This sensible proposal seems like a proposal which is sensible and should be voted on without delay. All in the name of reducing clutter, of course.

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments V―On a Saner Forum, We Wouldn't Need this Index
It's something that is arguably not a coup, and might be seen as not a coup in court of law, but is very much like a coup and occurs in a coup-like fashion, though many would claim that it is actually a group of people with a pork roast being eaten for dinner with a side of carrots.

I'm planning a coup once Ron Miel and Squire Doodad execute their plans. A blitzkrieg immediately after their milquetoast fomentations with an iron fist guiding everything shall bring a swift victory, along with the ability to withstand further insurrection. It shall be swift and ruthless. Unless any Ruths intend to join, in which case it shall be ruthful.

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments V―On a Saner Forum, We Wouldn't Need this Index
First one is a reference to Garland the decent guy (tm) of 8 Bit Theater fame (he's called Jim W. Garland at some point, and he runs a campaign with the motto), while the latter is more of a monarch being terrible in virtually all ways. Really just put it there for a comparison and to test out a pun of a name.
Also, yes on the sig?Last edited by Squire Doodad; 2019-03-26 at 08:29 PM.

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments V―On a Saner Forum, We Wouldn't Need this Index
Oh, my bad, I have a standing belief that anyone can sig anything I say anytime. I don't really see it as different from being about to quote me via the forum quote function, and I figure it's a good way to help make sure I don't make an ass out of myself (or at least be a reminder if when I make an ass out of myself so I can try to be better). Someone, I think maybe dtilque (apologies to the real forumite if I got that wrong!) actually has my standing permission in their sig, so I just assume most people know. And you know what they say about assuming, it's easy and I'm lazy so that's a match made in heaven there.
Also, I like 8BT Garland. I'd probably be a less competent version of that. I think everybody would appreciate it.Last edited by Peelee; 2019-03-26 at 08:34 PM.

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments V―On a Saner Forum, We Wouldn't Need this Index
Former Royal Knight means great pension benefits, well liked by the populace, friends with the king and great knowledge of various culinary skills. What's not to like about Garland?
I'm confused as to how you plan to go about the "less competent" idea, but I think we're using too much space on this thread that seems fairly serious most of the time.An explanation of why MitD being any larger than Huge is implausible.

In what's not surprising....

In what's kinda surprising, that quote has made the "Story, Plot and Characters" too big to sit side-by-side with the "Writing" spoiler in the same post....While it's certainly nice to see my auto-paging and auto-table-of-contenting code handled this without intervention, as intended, the middle post having a single category suggests it's time to talk about making new categories and/or recategorizing and/or moving (sub)categories around. Especially since....
...the "Story, Plot, and Characters" and "Writing" categories each have about ten subcategories.Last edited by Jasdoif; 2019-06-10 at 11:32 AM.
