Quote:Then don't bother listing so much detail. You don't have to justify anything fictitious, but Ryu seems to be having a hard time grasping this.*Check the wiki history, half that fine detail I didn't even write. And I've been busy going over the wiki the last couple of days trimming some of the fat that other people expanded upon such as...
Quote:leading to gems such as giving a blind race visually based augmentation...that.
That was not something I ever created. I have actually had to repeatedly explain that they do not have visual augmentation, because an audiocentric race would not have the mental "systems" to make a great deal of use of that extra input.
Quote:Ice shelf cracking. On a planet totally covered in ice. Or the low intense grumbling that exists in coastal ice shelves. That is all.Is that lore even still on the wiki? I retconned that ill conceieved bit of geography over a year ago, you of all people should understand why.
Quote:I noted this because Ryu thinks twitch nerve impulses mean total immunity. Also, sound senses are a hundred times more sensitive than optical, due to the way they are structured.And now you're the one trying to create extra detail where it doesn't exist. I have never explictly stated how the Avali auditory system is structured, it was never relevant to do so. Human auditory organs are very easily damaged, but what makes you assume Avali hearing uses the same structures?
Quote:"I believe your problem is, that on some level, you want them to be real. That's okay. It's okay to have some wish fulfillment and self indulgence, but you need to be aware of this and embrace it or overcome it, rather than trying to marry reality and fantasy together. If you aren't careful and don't know where to draw the line, it becomes hard to tell what details are needed and what is just excessive fluff."It seems to me you have your strawman of the author who loves over-fluffing content and bad science, and are hell bent on flogging it regardless of the facts. As in the example about about the cybernetic eye augmentations; a lot of this is not my writing. Check the wiki history closely and you'll find a lot of that fluff was not written by me. I havn't actually had a great deal of input in relation to the Avali in best part of a year, nor kept a particularly close eye on the edits.
Thanks to you bringing this to my attention I'm in the process of proof reading and adjusting the wiki and it's contents to reflect the actual lore and contents more accurately. If you come back in a month or so, you can come back, ignore all that and just launch another attack on a strawman
Quote:The only person I am truly being aggressive against is Ryu, admittedly, due to one very important issue that I refuse to elaborate on or ever make public. That issue is precisely why I have to be aggressive and well read, because his issue won't allow him to admit it otherwise.Just spit it out already, you keep dancing about saying you have some earth shattering revelation but refuse to say what it is. I can't possibly imagine what you have that is going to turn my world on it's head, and you can say it here in public, no need to go skulking about in private mail
