PMD: Seventeen Plates DT 3

So it would seem @15253 is falling right into my hands without any urging from me whatsoever. Oh, I love it when things go my way.

@AstralHunter and @TheSilverFox: Thanks for the tips. Becoming a Mod is something I now strive for.

Actually Im lying down on a carpet right now so not so much the falling. Especially not into anyone's hands. You'd have to have big hands to catch me.

@Buggiedude2340, @15253, these are not bad puns. These.... These are beautiful. I am so proud of you two. *much cri of joi*

Aaaaaand I vanish from YWS for like two weeks again. Why do I keep doing that? Ugh, MUST MOTIVATE SELF TO STAY HERE MORE!

You know, I've been kinda considering shooting for moderator myself. I've never been a leader of a site before, so I think it would be pretty cool to try out and a great learning experience. Unfortunately I feel like I'm not around or involved enough to really be in the running. Oh well, no gain, no loss. ^^

Also, CONGRATS SILVER!!!!!!!

@Charizard821 I'mma gonna be the French Grammar Nazi here and say that "joi" is written with an "e" at the end. So "joie".
French is a tricky language, my friend. Full of useless twists and turns apparently made only for the users to ragequit and break their controllers.

@AstralHunter Well that... is a monster of a list indeed. Good luck tryin' to become a Mod, @Robusto! That may just happen at some point. Also, you talked like a Mastermind again. Scary you's back.

@15253 I'll... safely take that as a compliment. Also, just read your post! It was longer than usual, but then again Ren talked a bit more than usual, too. And Darn it, Absol sounds liek a freakin' mosnter of a teacher D:

I will be the grammar nazi debunker, for that was actually supposed to be wordplay on the English word "joy", not the French "joie". Aussi, je sais comment difficile la langue peut-y être, je l'avait étudié depuis onze ans. <;

(Of course, grammar in French was never my strong suit, so let's hope I didn't butcher that just now, eh?) XD

Excellent post, @15253! As usual, it is a display of your masterful characterisation skills. I speak the truth when I say I learn a lot from Ren's posts. Keep it up.

@Robusto, are there any other islands besides Zero Isle surrounding Terraria (perhaps also to the east) on which there could possibly be a few towns and a fort or three?

@Charizard821 The wordplay has been acknowledged. The Nazi Grammar French army still wants to attack however, as the following French sentence wasn't perfect, but as their temporary captain, I told them to back off.
I'm pretty sure the English Grammar Nazi division is still knocking on my door, after all XD

(you totally butchered it :p And the beginning of your sentence makes me believe that you probably studied the language from Canada - just a statement, is all. I just love how Canadians kept a lot of Medieval terms and expressions in their vocabulary)



Edit: WOW. ME and Astral synched. Again. He beat me by two mins and a half. Darn.

Aww thank you all I'm really happy you liked it.

@Tortwag it was definitely a compliment

@AstralHunter you have no idea what that compliment means to me

I have some bad news though. Verser will not be online for a long while. He may be here once in a blue moon but don't count on it.

...oh. That is a bad news. Did something happen? Too much schoolwork or something?

If it's something concerning personal issues (or otherwise), please tell him he has our full support and will be in our thoughts.

Yes, I know that I probably should've said this sooner, but I've been incredibly busy these past couple of days, and have been running to and fro working on writing stories, essays, and keeping up with my mod duties. But, then again, the busier I am, the more I seem to enjoy it. XD

@Charizard821: Thanks!

@15253: Well done with the post! I did read it shortly after you posted it (again, my timing is impeccable. ), but I wasn't able to make a comment because schoolwork started distracting me (as usual. XD). Once more, you captured Aegeas's personality perfectly, and the dialogue between the two was fantastic. It's definitely a dramatic post, and the way that you explain and provide so much emotion in so few words always manages to stun me. Great job! This has certainly given me some ideas for my next post.

And Verser's going to be gone? ;-; I hope he's alright, and, as Hunter said, I'll keep him in my mind (not literally; that'd be weird. ).

Well, there goes eleven years worth of my pride down the drain. XD

Yep, Canadian French is what I've studied. Aaaaand apparently none too well. ^^;

@Charizard821 Thought so. And hey, I said that the phrase was butchured, not unbearable!
If that cheers you up, I know French people who have worse sentences than the one you wrote.
I... I'm serious. And it keeps getting worse.

"Well, there goes eleven years worth of my pride down the drain. XD"
↑
It's funny because that's exactly my reaction... When I logged in YWS for the first time, that is.

"Oh hey, I'm so good in English that I joined these awesome international English classes with actual English/American/Scottish teachers! And now I finally get to share my sp-called writting talent with other people in this YWS thingy thing! How wonderful!"

*Writes first couple of pieces. Gets reviewed*

"...Well... That random person I don't even know analyzed me like a boss. How did he even guess all of these thigns just from reading my-"

*reads random writting pieces from other people*

"...Oh."

↑ Aaaand that's how seven years worth of my pride disappeared down the drain. Refreshing, isn't it? XD

XD Oh, so language pain is universal then.

What I don't get though is how one can be so successful in school with a second language, and then when put to the test, are about as useful at it as a Magikarp is out of water. (And no talking about the jumping over a mountain thing!) Like, honestly school system, are we good at the language or not?

This has been a Char rant session.

I am pretty certain it is, lol.
And again, I really wouldn't dare blame anyone for having trouble in French, because as I've mentioned, it's full of stupid exceptions and silent letters all over the place that make almost every word hard to handle.
(mastering those is SO much fun, though)
