Title: The Grammar Empire (now officially disbanded)
Post by: Izeroth on August 31, 2014, 02:52:33 PM
 I, Izeroth, have ascended to the throne as emperor of the grammar empire. My first decree is that all users of bad grammar shall be executed! Go forth, my troops, and purge the world of the enemy!

How am I playing Hitler? Hitler's views were unfounded and prejudiced, while mine are rooted in fact. There are simply far too many grammar mishaps!

I was thinking as I read that "Why is Rach using a form of Toka's title?"

Well, yes, but. . . . .

So, basically, you're going to start another war. . . . Because people sometimes forget to capitalize? Or are too lazy? (Yes, yes, I know that's not the only problem. Deal.) While I've corrected plenty of people in my time, and once even used really, really, really bad grammar, do you see me killing people? Or even myself? First you started a war on all the non-mustelids, because they (Or their favorite animal) aren't mustelids (Which wasn't a good time for me, being a squirrel/opossum), and now you're getting on to people about the way they type? I'm sorry. . . . That's just the way it seems to me. Yes, I do agree that good grammar is wonderful, but. . . . .

 You want to know why I started the war on non-mustelids? Because everyone ignores mustelids! People love the canine, felines, and rodents (well, some rodents), but do the mustelids ever get any appreciation? No! Besides the occasional remark on the importance of sea otters or the slight appreciation of pet ferrets, mustelids are a largely overlooked and underappreciated animal family! Even if mustelids are featured, only the "good" ones (otters and badgers) get noticed.

 Alright, alright... I may have overreacted a bit when I said I would kill anyone who used bad grammar. I sometimes -gasp- mess up my grammar as well, and it was sort of a power struggle thing. I wouldn't really condemn me for killing, Rachel, considering that your dragon attacked my empire for no apparent reason other than the desire for mindless killing! Estimates are still pending, but you killed about a thousand people! Am I really the barbarian here? ??

Post by: Rusvul on September 01, 2014, 04:07:12 PM
Have you seen HIAG? He definitely doesn't underappreciate mustelids... I really like ferrets, personally. I wouldn't say they're underappreciated at all, they're in the Redwall books as a large part of most vermin armies and while there might be other species that people roleplay and such, Mustelids are played a lot as well. Leatho, HIAG, Lutra, Firedrake (To some extent), and many others. Now, if your complaint is about 'vermin' mustelids, that's an entirely different set of criteria- 'Mustelids are underappreciated and overlooked! Except the otters and badgers that everyone loves!' First off, that doesn't make as much sense. Secondly, that isn't quite true either. You have to keep in mind that because most of the other mustelids are classed as 'vermin' in Redwall, there aren't going to be as many people to roleplay them and such. Thus, you can only fairly compare 'ferrets, weasels, and stoats' (And then a few species that I'm not counting here because they only show up sporadically and aren't ever a large percentage of a vermin populaton. Narrowing it down because at this point that's what you're talking about, not mustelids in general) with creatures such as rats, wildcats, foxes andd... Actually not that many creatures that aren't mustelids. Mustelids make up a large part of vermin armies, rodents are a large part of goodbeast groups. If you see someone whose username is 'Sam Squirrel,' there's not a very good chance a mustelid was EVER a consideration for him- Unless he was to play a  or a badger, which apparently doesn't count. People who play goodbeasts as a primary thing are not nearly as likely to play as a vermin.

Aside from mustelids not being underappreciated, what does it matter if people's favorite animals aren't of the same family as yours?

Post by: Jetthebinturong on September 01, 2014, 05:21:50 PM
As I have stated before, Mustelidae, aside from Felidae, is my favourite animal family and I've played more mustelid characters than I can count and written about many more

Kogane
Bai Huan
Trang
Drohi Sajjana
Umbra Skia
Duniya Treestalker
Myrlon
Arden the Unseen
Hash the Warlord
Salinar the Mad
Verde in his weasel form
Dai-San
King Aramis Devereaux
Selwyn Mabon
Alwyn Mabon
Lumikko
Svek Varelse
The Kurai Hana tribe
Yanshi
Banbo Pimao
And probably more besides

I'm not necessarily talking about Redwall or this forum, I'm talking about everywhere in general.. But I digress... This thread was not created about the mustelid wars, this thread was created about the current grammar kingdom! I could have been peaceful, and I would have been peaceful. Sadly, CERTAIN PEOPLE  *looks at dragon* wished to cause conflict. Because of this I was forced to shut my borders off from everyone else.

The baby turtle wars are over now and I surrendered in the mustelid wars. Anyway... Isn't the whole point of the cellars to post nonsense?

Pfft. Diablo was based on D&D. D&D is the origin of nearly all RPG's. That and Tolkein, who is mainly a thematic influence.
