Heh, the two have very different posting styles and they even differ by their sentence construction.
Ghorak has a tendency to ramble and occasionally goes down the rabbit hole (sorry, dude, but it’s true). He also could be a wee bit lazy with his punctuation (and he likes to overuse ellipsis). Lastly, Ghorak has a tendency to type run-on sentences with a minimal number of commas.
Bepples, on the other hand, is a fan of ‘stacking’ his sentences. This is how he writes long sentences without having them turn into run-on sentences. He’s very conscientious about his use of punctuation; it’s a rare occasion that I would see him make a punctuation mistake. Lastly, Bepples favors the “1-2-3 punch” style as opposed to Ghorak’s gentler, slightly rambling approach.
…I teach middle and high school students. I specialize in teaching English to ELLs (English Language Learners). I pay attention to this kind of stuff.
If you insist, I can give you my analysis later at lunch.
Edit: Fineeeeee, here’s yours.
You’re pretty conscientious about your punctuation as well, although you occasionally miss a comma or two. You certainly like your conjunctions — your posts often are a good example of how to combine separate sentences. (Bepples prefers to use the semicolon for combining his sentences, as part of his sentence stacking.)
You’re usually pretty brief and to the point. “Brevity is the soul of wit.” You like to post the main point with one or two supporting points and leave it to the reader to connect the dots. (Bepples and Ghorak both prefer to thoroughly expand on their points.)
Funny, I just thought I should mention this, using the word “buttercup” the way you do, combined with how you tend to formulate your posts, your written language so to say, you know who else liked to go about the same way?
Some might remember this one from a year or so ago, a gnome warrior with the name Darkeforge. And what do you know, you’re both on the same realm as well. Ofc that character hasn’t posted anything in a while so, anyway…I SMELL CONSPIRACY!
I also appreciate how the only other person to also post in about the same manner, in this topic, using the same written language, down to the word “buttercup”, to be Rhande. I especially like how Rhande is in a guild called “Evolved Gaming”, while you’re in a guild called “Evolved”.
Anyway, this part is probably just a coincidence. But yeah, I appreciate the similarities either way.
Ah well, Watermist can probably correct me on that word association bit, in case I’m wrong.
This thread should be locked and you all should not engage with or respond to Bepples or any of the others again. It’s really cringe that this is still happening in 2021. Let him harass newbies on the forums all he wants, don’t engage with them and we’re good.
I don’t think it is. I don’t know that there’s any buff from SV being melee.
Back in time, pre-Legion, I used to play melee while specced into MM.
I equipped a sword and hot keyed auto-attack.
even if all the classes are perfected and everyone loves them, there will always be a least played spec. Its like you people think every spec will have the same player count or something.
