I agree somewhat. I do think Deja is very quick to call people on BS and isn’t afraid of doing it, and if you can look between the blunt-nosed tone of their posts, you’ll usually find good advice. I think the issue is people usually get prickly backs when Deja replies, and so spit back, and Deja is more than happy to do so in return.
I imagine if they worded a more diplomatic reply along the lines of “so what would you recommend?” they’d get a really good answer, i’ve seen them from Deja, but they don’t suffer fools at all and are a dab hand at calling out the “mid level elitists” who will attempt to crap all over other players until Deja links their shaky M+ records then they usually disappear lol.
So dunno if they’re a favourite, but the forums needs someone like that around, absolutely.
Most of the ones I think are great have already been mentioned, just missing Radium. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her toxic, mostly trying to calm the toxic people down.
A generous helping of words, actually don’t even measure this, there’s no such thing as too many.
At least one analogy, but probably best to add two or three.
Between 3-6 British idioms
One rhetorical question for every paragraph of words you’re using in your recipie.
Chuck in at least one anecdotal story about yourself or your mate for good measure
Not essential, but consider adding a pinch of indigenous mythos (elven folklore is usually a crowd pleaser) into your post.
Method
Begin by contemplating all your ingredients carefully. It’s very important you set the tone for your post with the first paragraph. So if you’re using more ingredients than less, probably best to pour them in first.
Fold the ingredients into your post carefully, assiduously and at-length using a rambling motion, don’t worry if you’re repeating applying pressure to the same point as previous, just give it a slightly different flair with your hands, spin it a new way. We call this poetry, or rhetoric.
Steadily introduce more of the ingredients as your progress. You can probably see your post is getting rather large now, but don’t give up!
Finish the post by inserting a flavourful parting shot, you can make it spicy or sentimental depending on your preference.
Serve
Note: If the guests do not like the size of your post, have prepared a retort card that makes at least one reference to their trepidation in engaging with the English language.
Enjoy!
This is all jest, I do love your posts really Brig as I mentioned in my initial Edit of my first post.
I just had a scene in my head where Retributor pops it, and sees the faint tease of the “Light” in the distance and appears to be heading there, and then is slammed down into a colourful spirit realm with masks, juju and whatnot everywhere, only to be greeted by Bwonsamdi who cheekily goes “You lookin’ confused mon? Dis where all trolls end up wen dey die!”
