Board Thread:The Last Sovereign Discussion/@comment-2804:431:B700:C9A:B50A:FE8F:B64F:B932-20180705000151/@comment-31763506-20180705205049

First let me apologize for being cranky, I've been having some personal issues lately that shouldn't be inflicted on other people.

The time consumption critique is fine, but some people might like that strategy enough that it justifies the extra work. It somewhat clarifies the apparently flip "I don't like that."

Let me just be absolutely clear.

It matters whether the topic of discussion is:

"This is MY list of characters ranked by fighting ability, anyone have any critiques?"

or

"This is THE list of characters ranked by fighting ability, anyone have any critiques?"

If the topic is the former, saying "I don't like that method" is completely valid. If it's the latter, well then that argument is very invalid.

Calling the thread "Character tier list" has very strong connotations that you are making an authoritative THE list, especially since the language that clarifies that it's a MY list is only found in the first and last sentences. So someone skimming the OP can conclude that you are arguing for an objective ranking, which is what I did.

Renaming the thread something like "Character Strengths and Weaknesses" or "My Character Tier List" would reduce that assumption.

I hope that clarifies things.
