Mmm... nice art... Rather too nice... Makes me suspicious. That's about it. It's not terribly original, not very thought out, or at least not presented completely. You could make it work, but you'd have to have an extremely tenacious grip on it, and I doubt you have it in you, frankly.
This is an attack on Proteous. First he implies Proteous plagerized the art. Then he urinates on Proteous' ideas. And finally, he calls Proteous' personal character into question.
This was an attack, as are many of Phinehas' posts. Last time Karyuu scolded me for pointing these things out. I don't know why this type of behavior is allowed and even encouraged. But it is.
His post is imflamatory and not "...rational judgements that have been brought forth by an effortful analysis."

Oh but I beg to differ. It's really up to interpretation. The way it was meant is first off to say that he had nice art. Yes, I admit that I had my suspicions. Is it wrong to suspect? Nor is "plagiarism" as you call it, such an evil thing, especially since this wouldn't really have been plagiarism. Also, you'll notice that I took his word for it completely as soon as he said that he made the art. I make no mention whatsoever of doubting his word that he drew the art.
As for "urinating on Proteous' idea", well that's just vulgar. I simply pointed out that it needed work. A lot of work. That is true. It was not nearly as brutal as it might have been. Also note that I did make allowances that there was more to it than what was shown to the public.
As for the thing about having a tenacious grip... You say that that's calling Proteous' character into question? That is just laughable. It's nothing of the sort, and you know it. I simply pointed out my opinion that it was not likely for him to hold on for an extended period of time to a guild that was not well organized enough to run without a driving, passionate leader behind it. That sort of guild can be a burden, as I myself have experienced.
My posts are actually "...rational judgements that have been brought forth by an effortful analysis." The only problem here is that I can't be bothered to post a full script of my thoughts on every single guild in every single thread. I don't have that much time. So I condense. However, if you would like me to post a detailed list of the faults I find in all the new guilds, then I'll do that... Oh wait, no I won't.
As for you, I think you're just angry that I don't follow the flowery, "Welcome to the forum, we're so glad to see you, may you have success in all you do and prosper in everything" approach to newcomers. Therefore, you have decided that you don't like me, and have decided to post personal attacks on me. So essentially you are even more guilty of everything you accuse me of, very little of which I have actually done.
I know that nothing I have said is going to change your mind, because you have simply decided you don't like me, and have no interest in being objective. However, I would suggest you would at least listen to Sangwa and Karyuu in this matter. They've known me much longer and better than you, and are what you would consider "nice" people, so they have a chance of actually being listened to.
