Alola Exeggutorhouse Quoting Challenge
The Quoting Challenge! August 21 - September 2nd! It's time to stop post-and-go-ing and start conversing! It's easy. Just quote people and comment on what they've said instead of just posting your own reply to any thread. If you're lucky, they'll quote you back and you'll actually have a conversation in the thread omg. So cool. As long as it's somewhat kind of related to the thread's topic, of course. Somewhat. Now you have a golden opportunity to motivate yourself to learn to quote and converse with people in the Treehouse! Or whatever the name of this place actually is these days. Enter The Quoting ChallengeTM! It's easy: Click on threads from the index to enter them. What prizes? For 10 quotes: Receive a somewhat lukewarm emblem to show that you at least tried! What are you waiting for? Get quoting. <3 |

A contest with prizes at stake, yep, I'm in {:3}. Some quick questions though (I'm allowed to ask, right?) 1. Seems obvious but just confirming, do only posts made on/after 21st Aug count? 2. If I quote more than one person in a Post, do I have have to post the link as many times or can I do something like this (in case I quoted 4 people):- [Post Link] (4 Quotes) 3. I Quoted u (& Castform) in this Post, does this also count? 4. Can I Quote myself? ;) Unrelated Spoiler:

Only a few more days to go and LegendChu seems to be getting that pink username.
I honestly thought some more people would have thought it fun to participate, haha. Not amazing enough rewards, or too lazy Treehouse regulars? (; |

I see. I assure you the intentions of this event were good; I genuinely only think Treehouse is fun when there's conversation. Simply replying without reading responses of others is like taking an online quiz. I thought some carrots could make the people who agreed with me quote more, I didn't realize that it could repel them :s
|
I haven't gone out of my way to quote people during this event, just when it happens naturally, I add it to my master post.

Tbh I don't care whether I get the pink username or not, I don't even know what that is, or what perks are associated with it, I'm just having a good time, enjoying competing in the Event, so as long as the host doesn't have a problem, I'm okay I guess. But alright, cool, thnx for the advice, will look into it. |

Just to clear things here, the rude comment was made in the Edit, after, I repeat, after colours decided to snip my post. I never said that her whole post was rude. Maybe one of my comments was rude as well, but I edited that out. Okay, it might seem like I'm contradicting myself, but the point I was trying to make, when I said I'm taking this seriously, was that I acknowledge the fact that someone made the effort put up an Event & I'm making a serious effort from my side to participate & give it my best shot, while following the rules. And just to add, Rika did not have a problem with what I was doing either, till those comments were made, so I don't think I was wrong. About that link, well those were replies made on my Thread, so I was just trying to acknowledge them, by trying to reply back (I do that on other forums here on PC as well). Okay maybe I quoted too many people in one post, but at least I was making an effort. And I did get a few replies, so if the aim of the Event was to strike conversations, wouldn't that count that as moderate success? Maybe I was overreacting in places, admitted, but then again, isn't PC all about freedom of speech, as long as its within the rules? How come my comments are termed overreaction, while all the comments made on the Forum Frontier (just citing an example here), are part of a discussion? I wanted to make a few points, I made them, which as someone who has been here for over two years, I feel I have the right to. Is there a certain criteria I need to fulfill, before I'm allowed to do that? If there is, I'm not aware of it. And in between all that, there was a query in my post - what's a pink username, you missed that. You also missed the fact that I did acknowledge & respect the efforts Rika has put in. So all in all, although I respect your position, as the Mod of this Forum & believe me, I do, sorry to say, I find your rulings very one-sided. And I hope I'm not reprimanded again, just for giving in my views. Quote:
Since you are the Host of this Event, tell me what I need to do. Although I'm the rabbit in hot pursuit of the carrot, if I'm not wanted here (I'd still like to participate though), I'll graciously withdraw from the Event, just let me know please :) Edit: Just wanted to add, that I do not want any kind of animosity, as I don't come to PC to make enemies, so I'm willing to have a more tranquil line of conversation & try to iron out differences if any. I would want to make a peace offering from my side, so if colours wants, we can talk this out :). Pika Pika :chu: |

We'll just try something different next time, don't worry about it (:

I'm not being defiant here or something, I'm just trying to put forth my points, but for some reason there's a big communication gap here, so I'll try to be more precise.

Plz see these posts:- http://www.pokecommunity.com/showpost.php?p=9382510&postcount=6 http://www.pokecommunity.com/showpost.php?p=9382566&postcount=7 Me & Rika, are the only ones who were having fun here, so again, why say this to me? The way I see it, Rika made a harmless joke about "lazy Treehouse Regulars", which didn't go down well with a few people, which of course is okay, coz people have the right to their views. But somehow it seems to me that I became the soft target. I wouldn't have had a problem if colours had taken it up with me personally (PMs/VMs) & since she is also a mod of another Forum, I'd have actually listened to her. But doing it on the Event Thread, is like calling me out, which felt very bad. And I don't even know her so why would I have a personal problem with her? But snipping someone's post, especially someone who's been honestly trying, is not only rude, but a bit insulting as well. And I'm feeling very insulted here to be honest & it isn't a good feeling at all. Also, one one hand you say:- Quote:

And before you say I'm misunderstanding things, don't you think you are doing the same as well? And yes, your rulings are not just one-sided, but a bit biased as well, because you completely omitted the positive points I made, especially this:- Quote:
I usually do not have a problem striking up conversations, but all you have managed to do now is make me a lot more conscious. I'll now have to think a 100 times, before I even try to have a normal conversation with someone. I took part in this Event, for the sake of competition, but honestly, this turned out to be one of the worst experiences on PC. And believe me, I'm feeling really bad saying this, coz Rika has been one of the sweetest & nicest hosts on any Event I've been on & we were genuinely trying to make this Event fun. That's all I got to say on this & I hope my points are much more clear now. I'm not expecting a different reply from you anyways, so I'll leave it here. |
This is my favourite thread of all time
|
Why so serious ;;
This has gone on for too long already xD |
Drop it before this lovely challenged is derailed anymore. Nobody has said/done anything remotely offensive and yet these posts still keep getting longer.
tldr; have fun in the challenge and don't milk quotes. |
Oh well alright, I was having a lot of fun here, when I joined this Event & seeing that I've already made my points, maybe I should get back to that ;).
Okay so let's summarize the Event here, Rika offered this:- Spoiler:
I'm aiming for this:- Spoiler:
But the situation right now, is this:- Spoiler:

For the record, snipping a post is not rude, it's a way of keeping thread pages from becoming endlessly long. Have you heard of scroll bar implosions? There are only 25 posts here (soon to be 26 with mine) and this is how the scroll bar looks:
