    A couple of questions

    Anyway, to stay "on-topic" (as so very narrowly defined) and address the original point, publishing and even writing serial fiction which changes, depending upon feedback from readers, is a tradition in which Dickens participated and which continues even today. Authors as prestigious as Margaret...

    A couple of questions

    I am replying to a statement made in this thead. If I quote that statement in a new thread, the context will be completely lost. But since you are clearly acting as a moderator, I shall abide by these rules. It might be helpful to note, however, that it would assist the new member if such rules...

    A couple of questions

    Where can we read examples of your own long form and finished fiction? It would be helpful to see your own long and completed work in action, as it were, so that we could the assess merit of your criticisms and the credibility of your claims.

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    Yeah, I've played Oblivion and Morrowind so I know how those stories begin. And I don't care for Ulfric and his xenophobic nationalism. I'll give you that. But I must agree with those who say they're troubled by the opening sequences because, let's face it, innocent people will be affronted...

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    You know what? Fair enough. I can appreciate what you're saying. I'll be honest, I didn't know what the hell was going on when I first started the game. I wound up following Hadvar and ended up joining the Legion. In Helgen, we're shown a sympathetic Hadvar who appears in direct contrast to...

    Favorite/Most Hated Sound Effects ?

    I hate frostbite spider noises. They give me the chills every time. But I love the sound of walking on creaking boards, and the sound of creaking wood and water rushing when I am on a ship.

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    Yes, let's not single out one pesky Nord ego as worthy of blame. Only one ego and you have annexation. War requires more than that. There are many egos in Skyrim. Elenwen's is massive. But about that chopping block.... First you say that you cannot prove your innocence, then you condemn a...

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    On what basis, though, can you say that Firebeard, or any of the Solitude court for that matter, might counsel Torygg to support a bid for Skyrim's independence? The fact that Firebeard is more loyal to Elisif than to Tullius? If Firebeard believed in Skyrim's independence, why would he support...

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    PC: Does General Tullius respect Elisif? FF: Of course he does. What sort of question is that? Maybe you've been listening to Erikur. There's been some loose talk aong some of the Thanes, and I suspect he's the cause of it. You'll pay those rumors no heed if you wish to retain your welcome in...

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    Do you have reason to believe that Falk Firebeard might counsel Torygg to join a movement for independence? When we speak with him in Solitude, he is very stern in his absolute support of both Elisif and Tullius. Even so, the only reason (I have observed so far) to believe that Torygg would...

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    Torygg was loyal to the Empire and always had been. Also his counselors, including Stentor herself, clearly feel that remaining part of the Empire is the wisest choice. One could suppose they would not hesitate to voice that belief. Edited Also a leader who is known for giving long, boring...

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    So it is a 50-50 proposition at best. And if we accept Stentor's assertion that she didn't think Ulfric knew how much Torygg respected him, this lowers the odds even further in Ulfric's eyes. Therefore, I wish to challenge your statement that: Because it is not clear to me that Ulfric would...
  13. Jackanapes

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    I was not correcting your spelling. I was asking about the probability of Torygg supporting Ulfric. So far I have seen you say that it was "more than likely", that it was "very likely", and that it was like a "toss of a coin". I would like to ask you which of these propositions you actually...
  14. Jackanapes

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    I am just trying to get you to be precise in your wording, something which is important in serious debate. You agree that you were mistaken on Stentor's wording, but you still maintain that: But I am not sure yet where you get the impression that Torygg would have "more than likely gone...
  15. Jackanapes

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    Yes, I do. Thank you for offering. When I note what looks like a logical contradiction, I like to look into it to and get to the bottom of things until everything is much clearer, and, yes, even much simpler, if you like to put it that way. :)
  16. Jackanapes

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    So you disagree with DrunkenMage's assertion that Torygg was very likely to want to help Ulfric with Skyrim's independence? So it's not really "very likely" any more, but more of a 50-50 sort of proposition? And Stentor even says herself Ulfric probably didn't even know how Torygg felt, so...
  17. Jackanapes

    Imperials or Stormcloaks, what one?

    So which is it? 1. Torygg was likely to want independence because he believed it was best for Skyrim to leave the Empire as Ulfric wanted? 2. Torygg was unlikely to want independence because he believed that Skyrim was best off staying part of the Empire?

    Things people say on gaming forums that really piss you off

    People who make grammar mistakes when complaining about or correcting someone else's grammar. People who believe they have the monopoly on truth. People who take disagreement personally. People who are far too emotionally invested in the social aspect of a forum because they have few/no offline...

    PC Do you prefer a controller?

    I get a kick out of the vibrating controller. Then, when I'm done with that, I turn that feature off.
