:yeahthat:

You really think most people are going to bother looking that shit up just so they can picture your character correctly?

Gotta keep a few things in mind with this being a text game.

Accurately wording things can be good. Correct terminology, placement, materiels, etc.

Using words that just look wrong (siglatoun, baudkins, botews ) just make most people skip over you when somethinga little more easier on the eyes could have worked just as well.

It is an outfit for court...not every day attire. So those that would be seeing it, obviously are those in the know. Thanks again everyone for picking apart my alters.

No one is picking them apart. They are good, what I would say is, wearing so many obscure termed items that everyday people are not going to know, is in fact probably going to make them skip over you. I would suggest one or two uniquely phrased items per outfit, that's what I do...because then said item stands out.

Don't get so offended, if you feel so strongly, don't post.

Simple as that.

Seriously. No one searched you out to purposely piss on your wardrobe. If you post, you're inviting people to comment. Your 8 posts and the time you spent reading these boards in order to make that many are PLENTY enough to realize it's not always sugary sweetness and ass kissing here. Some thicker skin wouldn't hurt.

Heh, I thought he was being sincere.

I mean, isn't that why we post here? To have people pick apart our alters?

I guess for some? I dunno, it seemed like he was looking for nothing but praise and got mad when he didn't find it. Without hearing tone I guess you could be right, I didn't read it like that however.

Not looking for praise, or criticism. Simply sharing what I was wearing, because after all, the thread did ask me. "What are you wearing?" Not "What are you wearing so everyone can tell you why they think it is wrong". I appreciate feedback, as it was the feedback that helped condense down his normal every day wear. And as far as the thick skin comment....This is a game...not life. I don't care if everyone in the game thought everything about me was crap. It's not that serious and it surely wouldn't hurt my feelings.

Hey bud, my post wasn't meant to crack on your stuff, just give you a suggestion or two to keep in mind.

And it was a friendly comment. If I was wearing something horribly crappy or something I had didn't make sense, I would want someone to say something. You obviously DO CARE or else you wouldn't be so touchy.
