I could not understand Magnusâ post without transcribing it into words I understand.
I could not transcribe Magnusâ posts without adding my own thoughts, interpretations, and opinions to the transcription. (Because thatâs just my personality.)
Adding my own thoughts, interpretations, and opinions on top of transcribing archaic English to everyday English had cost me over an hour of my life. (Most likely because I added the âunnecessaryâ rant in the middle of the transcription.)
And all of that, was for a read Magnus made, about the potatocat⌠from 24+ hours / ~480 posts ago. Lord knows how outdated it might be.
The bbittiest part about transcribing a lengthy post that uses archaic words: Translation.
What does âyabba dabba dooâ mean? Does it âyabba the doo with dabbaâ or does it âdoo yabba the dabbaâ? For buckâs sake, I know language is bbit for each language, but there ought to be no need to make this more complex than it already is!
I donât know whatâs worse. The fact thatâ Yâknow what? No. Magnus said they will try to sacrifice âclarity of transparent expressionâ, so Iâll just have to trust that they will actually do it.
Hopefully their posting frequency can also go up in the process. You donât need to be a hyperposter like tutuu to have thread presence, but that doesnât mean you are easy to remember if you arenât posting a lot.
Then thereâs the newcomer (Camilleon15)⌠I wonder how sheâs doing. I feel like she lied about being a prodigy. She is probably not a total newbie, but given her actions (or rather, the lack thereof), she might as well be considered as someone who has never played the game before.
I already self-reported. It is resolved.
You canât deny it is understandable though.
Among the millions or billions of netizens in this world, the average user would not describe âI went back to the game thread to review thingsâ as âI returned to the game thread with the pursuit of revision roundaboutsâ.
Well Chomps isnât on the Chocolate list, so unless he is courting death like Hippo did, then him getting checked by Neapolitan should result in a greencheck. (That is, assuming Neapolitan checks Chomps in the first place.)
This⌠would explain so much.
Welp. I am letting the hosts do their own thing.
(Where is the next VC?)
((Do we even need a VC right now?))
(Itâs been over 6 hours. A new one canât hurt.)
Consider me uneducated.
What does âunalignedâ mean?
which. tbf. the magnus post isnt that hard to parse but the main issue i have with it is that it is apparently a read on potato but ends in a non sequitur and comments not on the alignment of potatocat (which imo reacing that wall makes me tl more)and instead offers a rather simple aligning read, despite the Tone of the post implying neutral to unfavourably on potato, and magnusâ vote is regardless on chomps. so . erm @magnus can i have a topdown readlist from u, no frills no quills?
i would just understand i think.
maybe they were getting jiggy with it. do you not get jiggy with it, Zone Q11?
im being intentionally ambiguious but regardless this doesnt matter. greenchecking chomps is a distraction imo. but whatever i dont hold any mech prowess here
tbf its an educated guess thats likely to be wrong but afaik shes around these parts and she had a MU alt that started w/ cam so⌠close enough xd
i would place my suspicions onto zone for completely misreading Magnusâ post and the things in question really not being villagery but like, idk what i expected from chat gpt
Good for you. I am ESL, and somehow interpreting Frostwolf -who is also ESL- was easier than interpreting Magnus.
I donât know what that means, so I will say no.
Pardon my lack of attention, but (1) who do you think should be checked, and (2) who do you scumread as of now? ((Are you actually scumreading Chomps?))
(That⌠is so counterintuitiveâŚ)
I see. I thought it just means they are not belonging to the same alignment. (E.g., V/W or W/V.)
