    Guilty Gear: Scaling Revision (Part 2)

    I'm finally out of my exam period, so I have the time to implement these changes. Given that there has been no contention in over 2 weeks, and there is sufficient staff support, I'll go forward with the revisions now. Thank you all for your input. I may make a Part 3 in the future for matters...

    Rule Violation Reports (New forum)

    I stated this before - I would like this to be a lenient, short-term ban intentionally. I want this to be a chance for them to take a short time away and see if they can improve once they are back. I'm aware these are not as strong punishments as certain aspects of the context may warrant, but I...

    I would advocate for lenient bans for both. I would prefer to have this be short-term see if the issues brought up here will improve after that time, in place of a harsher punishment we might normally apply in a different context. A month for Strym and 2 weeks for Fuji I believe would be acceptable.

    I don't know what you mean by this. StrymULTRA's comments have, as far as I can see, been treated as more severe by every staff member who has evaluated this situation. The staff members who have advocated against Strym's comments have either advocated less against yours, or just not advocated...

    Rule Violation Reports (New forum)

    No, of course it is not. I've made it very clear that I also believe Strym has committed a ban-worthy offense. I'm advocating for a ban for both you and Strym, as I have expressed - because whatever comparison you might make between you two to justify yourself, the fact is that you have...

    So, this is obviously a joke on the kinds of rants people will make on transgender/homosexual people, yes. It's also incredibly short-sighted to make such a joke in the context that it was used in, and was evidently made with full awareness of and intention to rile up drama and hostility to the...

    The commoners thread: Discussing Ultima's "On the Many, Many Incoherences of the Tiering System"

    I don't agree, frankly. It seems best that, if the tiering systems revisions are going to have a general discussion platform at all, that it may as well all be kept in the same place. Evidently, the order of this thread has not been well-maintained, especially in the past page or so. We don't...

    The commoners thread: Discussing Ultima's "On the Many, Many Incoherences of the Tiering System"

    The Dread Tiering System Revisions is still presently open, and this thread has been used for some time to discuss the string of connected threads to this matter. Provided the above innuendo-laden discussion ceases, I think it would be abrupt to close this thread now. People may still have...

    My stance is not much different. I don't believe a warning would be in-line with how we have acted on such matters in the past, especially so with the suicide comments (even with full consideration to the mitigating factors; I don't find the apology scans provided nearly as compelling as others...

    Profile Deletion Requests Thread (New forum)

    If this is true, then this was obviously far, far too abrupt of a timeframe to delete the verse. Just passing a single revision for a verse is a 48 hour period for on-site discussion minimum, for the express purpose of giving adequate time for all supporters to provide their input - deleting an...

    You made a message wall post with a bleeped n-word. You know very well that's not appropriate, and that anyone else would be reported and reprimanded for such behaviour. The rules continue to apply to you when you are an administrator, so you should act like they do.

    LET US BRING SHINZA BACK Part 1

    The general issues with making a verse that would likely end up in tier 1 during a time when tier 1 is being heavily revised have already been brought up. I would like to note a separate concern I have, however. Could you substantiate these statements? You've not linked anything along the...

    I'd be happy to include that as a detail while rewriting the Power of the Verse section, though I currently have nothing drafted as it is.

    Guilty Gear: Scaling Revision (Part 2)

    Yeah, I have no gripes with this. Though if we take the 8% margin as the upper bar, they would still be High 5-A (just at 266.4 ronnatons), so neither the tier nor justification would change. It's just a matter of how the profile is interpreted, not something to adjust about the profile changes...

    There is no ambiguity here. It's not that you had some poor choice of words that made a 'normal' comment unintentionally look like an offensive one.

    Guilty Gear: Scaling Revision (Part 2)

    I do remember looking over this when I was handling the blog, but there's a couple issues I have with Bridget scaling to Johnny. 1: As far as I can tell, this path is non-canon (as Bridget's story in XX Accent Core follows on from Path 2 of XX). 2: If it is canon, then it is still questionable...

    Guilty Gear: Scaling Revision (Part 2)

    That is true, but his rating is primarily for the Bedman scaling. Fighting alongside Ky in the past is just a supporting point.
  35. DarkGrath

    Guilty Gear: Scaling Revision (Part 2)

    We don't have to assume that - the game is fairly explicit that they shouldn't scale. You can't see it in the scene itself, but in the dialogue surrounding her fight with Ky (even in the variants where Bridget "wins"), it's framed as Ky intentionally holding back in his spar to help Bridget see...

    This is fine. If the river Lethe is what erases memories, and this ability is indexed due to erroneous information that he entered the river Lethe, then it should be removed. Yes, this should be fine to remove. It's not a completely implausible interpretation of the ability, but it'd be a...
