EDIT: oh, I guess ours do too now.

APRIL FOOLS!!!

It's unfortunate when someone uses the knowledge of a language to try and further his personal agenda.

I am highly offended by this and abhorred that you would have the audacity to make such a petty and vitriol filled post.

Yes, I am for a death penalty. But that has nothing to do with the summary translation I gave in my original post. I gave an objective summary of things that were said in about 10 pages of the thread that I read.

You claim that the "majority" people in that thread are against a death penalty, and that the only reason there are a lot of posts by people who are for a death penalty is because they are a vocal minority. I didn't make a claim whatsoever. What I did say is: "They seem to be just as polarized as us. There are players that want no Death penalty, some that are fine with Yoshi's idea (this group is the smallest it seems though, which I found interesting), players that want SP penalties, players that want Anima penalties."

So get off the hate horse man. I'm offering to use my skills to help other people communicate and clear up questions they may have, and because you have some sort of vendetta against me for liking a death penalty, you create false charges and slander my character. That is beyond pathetic and I'm appalled that anyone would stoop so low.


EDIT: You will also notice that I've welcomed others to help as well if people have questions. So if I was just going to use this to further an agenda, why would I make false claims that would be spotted by others who can speak both languages. Again, you are being petty and pathetic.

You're very easily offended and "abhorred"
Especially considered the aggressiveness of your posts against people that argue against your opinions.

The sole fact that you state the division is even near to 50/50 shows me that you're reading quite selectively, ergo your summary seems quite biased to me.

Mind you, people aren't split 50/50 even here, so the selectiveness is even more evident.

Slander? I simply gave people a tool to read by themselves.
You say "trust me!"
I say "trust your own eyes".

It's that simple.

A) Tell me where I said they are split 50/50 in the OP on this thread. Oh that's right... I didn't.
B) If people aren't split 50/50 on the issue, then give us a number. You claim to know that it isn't split 50/50, so since you've obviously counted up every unique post you can tell us how many people are for and against a penalty.

You accused me of lying. You accused me of making false statements to further my own agenda. I did nothing of the sort. That is slander (possibly libel in this case, since it's written).

Get a room you two

I think its a great thread, we all are curious about the feedback, so cool down guys.

I'm not the one telling lies about him and I had to defend myself from his hateful, false accusations.

You told it in quite a few occasions in other threads, and this one you made quite an active effort to make the posters look very much split on the issue.

I would say less than 10% of the posters are arguing in favor of an experience-based penalty.
That's not having "a lot of people on both sides", that's having a few people overwhelmed by the majority.

You accused me of lying. You accused me of making false statements to further my own agenda. I did nothing of the sort. That is slander (possibly libel in this case, since it's written).

First of all, there's quite a difference between lying and being biased. And considering how spitefully aggressive you've been about this issue (and even here, mind you), yes, you are biased.
I might be too, that's why I encouraged people to look for themselves.

Hyperbole much?
Should I quote some of your spiteful responses in other threads? Maybe you should think about how you post yourself before accusing others to "hate" you

And Kaedan is right, in this case. He freely invited anyone to post, which hardly makes him sound like he's trying to be a lone hero. Plus, if you have used the google translator, you should know the translation it gives is hardly understandable by a fledgling Japanese student, much less someone with no idea. I look up stuff sometimes, but I don't have the time to struggle with every post with my beginner skills. Help from anybody with translation is appreciated from me.

Unfortunately with the way people are in this forum, radically biased towards their opinion, I would strongly discourage believing anything but your own eyes on this kind of reporting. Even if you can grasp only the general meaning of a post, it'll still be more complete and precise than having someone summarize a whole thread for you in a few lines. You're entirely free to chose the option you prefer too. I gave an alternative that I find more effective and unbiased.

[Anathiel]

seems like their number one concern is that all the area's look the exact same

I'd say our number one concern is the class changes

and there's only like 50 threads each on the french and german pages so I don't think opinion is going to sway SE very much.

[Anathiel]

wow some people get butt hurt realllll easy. if somebody insults me I usually just ignore them.

EDIT: but in all honestly I didn't see abriael insulting you in the slightest (well maybe slightly), he just gave us the tools to look at the japanese page in english, which I did. so yeah.

Exactly. I personally think that people should look with their own eyes if they are curious about the Japanese community. I find it an extremely interesting read, especially in the specialized forums, since they use them much more than us (people here seem to have a penchant for dumping every thread in general discussion). It's most definitely more precise and complete than a summary that can be quite easily influenced by personal opinion.

Google trans is quite a great tool, and gets improved daily. Even being able to read japanese quite decently, I still use it for cross referencing. Too few people actually know about it and use it.
