[OOC Thread] The Lesser of Two Heresies.

[Silhar]

I've only managed to obtain Malleus, so far and yes, it's good. It's awesome, to say at least.

[Silhar]

Sorry to interrupt, but

As MkLear says that they are going to visit the seer, mercerenary mumbles something under his breath. You could not hear the whole phrase, but you think you've heard word "goddamn", and it's quite obvious that HexaDoken isn't fond of the idea of seeing the seer.

I wanted to point out that it's her name, not her job, so it should be written beginning with a capital letter. Just for flavor.

[Klear]

Hmm... l'll still treat is as a title, since if I didn't understand that, I'm damn sure neither did MkLear =)

[HexaDoken]

Oops. Edi- altho wait not, I'll leave that as is, because much like MkLear my character has no idea if that's a name :P

Also, apparently, something broke up badly, so I won't be away for 2 full weeks like originally intended. I will depart 9th and should get back around 16th. Woo for the game.

[Silhar]

Well, you still write titles in capitals. ;P

[Sylith]

Yeah, but you have an idea and you are the ones writing, not your characters, so what's the problem? It's not like you can hear capital letters in names. It's just about the narration's integrity, without it reading is uncomfortable.

[Silhar]

Hey guys, is anybody into this webcomic by chance?

[LuckyDee]

Hmmm, looks like a cross between Dork Tower and Cyanide&Happiness, hadn't seen it before. I'll check it out. Meanwhile:

"Everybody in this village is someone looking at they don't take kindly", replies Father Clem. "Beginning with mutated guardsmen, through renegade priests and witches, ending with Skitarii cyborg running rampant. Don't you think you'd stray from the crowd with these easily concealable quirks... We'd all end up against the wall."

I don't usually like to point this out (unless you ask for it of course, Sylith ;] ), but in this case the mistakes in grammar/words leave me unable to decide what it is you meant... I think

"Everybody in this village is someone looking at they don't take kindly"

should read "Everybody in this village looks like someone they don't take kindly to", but the actual problem is

Don't you think you'd stray from the crowd with these easily concealable quirks... We'd all end up against the wall."[/i]

since the way I understand it, Clem is telling me that although I'm just another mutant in a village of mutants, it's actually going to be because of me if and when the Redemption/Inquisition/other pious morons come rushing in... Can you either explain this one or put it in other words?

[Silhar]

What he meant was that if Redemptionists kick in, everybody gets shot and you wouldn't be an exception.

And no, there is no real mistake here.

[LuckyDee]

In the latter case, the mistake appears to be in my interpretation - with your added explanation, I can see what you mean. I still fail to understand how looking like a bipedal lizard classifies as 'easily concealable'...

Maybe I'm just overthinking this...

[Sylith]

"Everybody in this village is someone looking at they don't take kindly"

should read "Everybody in this village looks like someone they don't take kindly to"

Or maybe just...
"Looking at everybody in this village is not the thing they take kindly"? [I know, "something" would be better, but I want to point this out.]

[LuckyDee]

I understand where you're going, but in this case it doesn't make sense: the person(s) 'looking' are the same as the person(s) 'not taking kindly', which implies they're taking offense at something they are doing themselves. Or taking offense at 'being forced to look at a mutant' instead of simply 'seeing one'. It's a fine line, mind you.

I have/had no intention of turning this into English 101, but in this case I simply wasn't sure of what was being said, so I rewrote the grey bits the way I thought they'd add up with what I expected the post to understand.

[Klear]

Hey guys, is anybody into this webcomic by chance?

Crap. I've finished it already. How often does that update? I hope it's more often than... holy shit! Gone with the Blastwave has a new update!

[Silhar]

SotI updates every sunday, as far as I am concerned. Unless the author gets struck by OH HELL I'M SO LAZY.

[HexaDoken]

Departing right now. Will be back in a week or so. If something really important happens, feel free to knock my character uncoscious so he isn't staying right there like a zombie.
