Not much happened today. I didn't feel too well. I think I had my blood sugar drop too much and I was weak for a few hours. And just when I'd gotten Illustrator opened too. I have a new project I plan to work on tomorrow that should go up the same day. I'm going to make an Arvyre growth guide. I think it's lame that the forum only has a partial guide for the common pets but won't show the rare and paid pets. Not only that but all the images are currently down because the idiot ran out of bandwidth on photobucket. Sigh. Why is it always up to me to fix these things? So for something that will work for a change concerning Arvyre I'm putting up all the stages of all the pets that I've seen so far along with commentary. It's my way of saying, up yers. And it will be helpful. Once agan when it comes to these matters Dragon Adopters is the best. They have a wonderful guide run by a fan who's also a mod there. Good job again guys. You're the only ones that can do anything right on these pet sites.
Speaking of Dragon Adopters, Thaz actually responded to me. I was surprised and hadn't expected it at all. I knew he'd see my suggestions and was just happy with that. He said he's going to put most of my suggestions for better navigation into place in the next update. THANK YOU! Again, just proves Dragon Adopters is the best and knows how to take sound advice. DC and Arvyre should learn from them. Don't get me started on DC, I'm pissed at them too. I found the person that made the DC growth guide. I've spoken to her on Dragon Adopters. I shall pass along the link to my guide and we can probably do a link exchange. I commended her for her work and standing up to the wave of stupidity.
Speaking of stuidity. I had my first flamewar in Spanish the other day. If you could even call it that. Some stupid girl from Chile swipped Silvolf's animation she made of Zorak on Youtube. We both told her to take it down and she ignored us. So Silvolf reported it and down it went. Well that finally got her attention and Silvolf asked me to translate this thing that was left on her front page.
ya borre la wea no me wuei mas, porque zorak es de cartoon network y no tuyo, pero
lo baje no me wei por mi otros video ya vale ty subiendo weas mias ahora pk perdi lacontraseƱaOk her Spanish is horrible!! No captials on proper nouns or beginings of sentences. Also it's a huge run on sentence with slang and words I don't think exist. Last time I checked Spanish doesn't have W's. Here's an attempt at translateion.
"I deleted the (video?) don't (bother?) me anymore, because Zorak is from Cartoon Network and not yours, but I took it down don't (bother/reprot?) my other videos that's enough and uploading (videos?) my now because I lost ????"
So I decided to go over there and give her what for. Here's what I said.
Mentiras. Tu no lo quitaste. Los administradores the Youtube lo quitaron porque no tenias permiso de usarlo. Si, Zorak es de Cartoon Network, pero Silvolf es animador y dibujo ese video entero entonces es de ELLA. Anima uno tu embes de estar robando do otros que metieron el trabajo. Y sabes otra cosa? Yo fui la que te reporte. No me sorprendiera que varios allan echo lo mismo. Si encuentro otro video de mis amigos que usaste sin permiso lo hare otra ves. Eso es justo. Y aprenda a escribir mejor. Yo sindo gringo escribo el Castellano mejor que ti. Por lo menos yo tengo escusa por mis errores.Translation:
"Lies! You didn't take it down. The Youtbue admins took it down because you did not have permission to use it. Yes, Zorak belongs to Cartoon Network, but Silvolf is the animator and drew that video in its entierty, therefore it belongs to HER. Animate your own instead of stealing others' that put in the work. And you know something else? I was the one that reported you. It wouldn't surprise me if others did the same. If I find another video from my friends that you used without permission I shall do the same again. That is fair/just. And learn to write better. I'm just a Yankee and I can write Spanish better than you. At least I have an excuse for my errors."
I must explain to you why I chose the words I did as Spanish is much more complex and poetic than English. Spanish is also more blunt and in your face. So instead of saying "That's not true." Which is kind of formal we just say LIES! It's like a smack in the face. Gringo is slang for American. Usually it's derogatory. It's equivalent to Yankee and means an uneducated person. By saying Gringo and not Gringa she'll assume I'm male because I used the masculine. And by insulting myself I gave her nothing to throw back at me racially. The fact that a Gringo can speak better Spanish is an insult. Also I didn't use the word EspaƱol but Castellano which is how the Spanish from Spain say Spanish. That's like using British English which here is considered high brow or of high class. The whole thing is written in the formal but I refer to her as Tu or Ti not Usted. Tu is the familiar form of "you" the way you talk to a child or your peers while Usted is
used formally for people that are repected. Basically I'm showing no respect. Ah, Spanish you can say so much just by what tense you use. Gotta love it.
Oh I must end this on a halarious note! Back to Dragon Adopters. The other day I was trading on the resource page and some moron put up a trade of 100 in exchange for 1!! I don't even remember what the resources were and it didn't matter. That's one of those times that if you think you lose out. I GOT IT! Boy I bet they were kicking themselves. I got 100 and only gave back 1. HAHA!! Talk about an awesome profit! I refresh for such mistakes. May-be I'll get lucky again. Be careful what you type folks.
