Nah mate read you plain and simple. Good luck finding people, prepared to take you serious.
Re: I recommend shorter titles
It's also used informally when a person refers to their own opinions as if they are some sort of group consensus. "Of course we don't want to" when what you really mean is "Of course I don't want". Incidentally I've seen you do this a fair bit yourself.LienRag wrote: ↑Tue Jul 13, 2021 7:16 pmOh, then you have a (spanish) point (a punto then ?).

Never "I" since the point is to politely/hipocritically put himself in the action but actually not doing anything, only the others.
It has nothing to do with actual royalty. I think it's the same in English.
But it's not the same in French, and as I wrote above, apparently not in English : Royal pronoun is literally the plural that monarchs use to design themselves.

Please stop, this thread is not for discussing the use of the word "we"! It is very rude to spam someones serious thread like this.

Same in German as in French it seems

Re: I recommend we disable species moving for much greater game simplicity and reduced micromanagement.
I was using "they" etc. as gender neutral pronoun, I am told that is proper grammar/use of the words. I have also used xhe etc as a alternative but either way requires explanation. And the "we" is speaking for the group interested in the game FO. Now would you please stop!
I am surprised at you Ophiciuchus, spamming my thread like this, including using layered quotes for all this off topic shit! Would a mod please cut all this talk out and make it into it's own thread in the appropriate forum?

Sorry for the small detour. I think the problem is that everybody interested said everything they could regarding the original topic.truepurple wrote: ↑Wed Jul 14, 2021 9:27 amNow would you please stop!

If I or others got more to say on the topic, I should be able to say it, and not have people have to hint for it among posts of some inane "we" topic.
Re: I recommend shorter titles
Indeed. I believe though that I do that only when there is actually some consensus (making the game more strategic, diversifying gameplay, ...).
And that consequently I started to use that formula only after learning about what the few consensus in the game actually are.
Imho it helps separate what are my personal opinions on a topic and things that are quite agreed upon.

Maybe take a hint there ?
(I didn't intend to flood your topic, even this quite pointless one, but the conversation got out of hand; yet the result is the same)

Oberlus could you please move the topic cutting at "I recommend banning this guy" ?
