Need to tone down the military awards

Stop. Most of your posts could be done in private messages. Please, stop.

 

troll?

 

I fully respect those who serve, and see no disrespect in having a realistic approach to RP. Were staff to approach and say to remove them, I would. I'm giving you the benefit of a doubt with a serious response, but your posts are spotty and misinformed.

 

None of them are campaign ribbons. The closest thing we have is the Expeditionary medals. I hate to sound like an asshole, but if you served and earned said ribbons you would know what they looked like and understand the difference between a campaign ribbon and what we use. Furthermore, we have and have had active duty service members in this faction. They have not said a thing.

 

Most of the award bits are being used in a fictional sense with fictional meaning attached. There is no intent to use or display them as if they have been earned in real life, this is similar to an actor in a show/movie carrying a purple heart. Its all fiction and the resemblances are there for the purpose of the story.

Personally I find them gaudy and clashing slightly with the look of the forum but thats my aesthetic preference.

 

He doesn't use the xenforo style.

 

lol my aesthetic preferences dont count for shit though. Otherwise the forum style would be derped. But anyway, my point? Mountain out of a molehill at worst
Because I can't fathom how pretend time, is offensive. Now if they went around making characters called Sgt Fobbit who did nothing but sit in a storage unit fapping, and make referenvea to conflicts that are in extremelypoor taste, then I could see it. But using a handful of ribbons not so much.

 

The only issue I see with stuff like that is that it oversizes the signatures of people. But that can be said about anyone who uses signatures that are really large.

 

shit how did you know about my next plot

 

Well I mean, even then all they have to do is put it in a spoiler tag and the signatures fine, theres really no issue with this and the OP should've taken it to whisper, end of discussion from my point of view, sorry OP.

 

I think this thread should be locked before it goes any further downhill.

OP shows signs he doesn't know what he is talking about in his posts, and even if he was an army veteran I'm inclined to value more the opinion of the many members who have served in duty and rped here as opposed to that of some random guy who saw a forum signature and got 'offended'.
