Toribash
Yes. As a clan, in order to grow and develop, some drama is needed. We have to be able to learn from each others mistakes to improve.

Maybe not selfish, but confident. Your average DSC is preeeeetty bad. The standard of *most* official clans isn't that much better. I'd say there's less than 20 (being generous) that actually deserve to be official based on their current state.

Confidence is a big part of my personality, so that might spill over into our clan's ethos. I think confidence is a good thing. Self-doubt doesn't look good on anyone.

I adjudicate (judge) for my state's school competitions. I've got access to a scoring matrix and I know how to use it. I basically allocate a score based off a standard mark (e.g. 20 points would be average, 21-22 Above average and 18-19 below average). I give three different scores based on three different areas and total up the scores to see who won. So I'd adjudicate/judge the Toribash debates the same way. But yeah, it's on the backburner for now.
I personally prefer robotic stuff. I think it's easier to have ideias for making textures. When I am lacking creativity I use to search through some draws on deviantart/other sites to get more ideias. There is a lot of great work there that inspires me haha

Here's a little something that could help you out.

WIP of Alteration's set


You do realize with your current progress, that's going to be one of the sets that will fly around forever unless someone wants to keep it forever.

Gj mate. It's looking really good.

I feel like the most effective way to achieve this is to try and spread the general consensus that the SandI section needs a rethink among as large a proportion of the community as possible. It is about influence.

Maybe I am over-romanticising the power of communities working together compared to that of single leaders of the community just pulling strings.

I think thats a fine idea. You should make a prop to them and explain what's going down. If more people who know how to post start working to change the section, the better.

Link is it ok if for the most part I just quote your explanation of the plan? I doubt I could do better

Sure thing. Just let them know Ele and myself came up with the post somehow.
