It's called suspension of disbelief: phrase. a willingness to suspend one's critical faculties and believe the unbelievable; sacrifice of realism and logic for the sake of enjoyment. Word Origin. coined by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.


I like visual puns.

If that's the case, then I implore you practice what you preach by sincerely taking into account this point of view: you're the only person in this RP who gets worked up and makes a big deal about nothing in a confrontational manner. I don't know how you alone picking on me for something utterly insignificant and me not caring means you've got the moral high ground.

If you weren't offended, you wouldn't have written up a paragraph calling me names and trying to tell me the right way to treat people.

If this is about being right, then sure, you're 100% right. I was wrong in my statement about fire and wind, but if the people who are directly affected by it don't think it matters, and I don't think it matters, why is it worth pursuing? Just let it go. You can rest assured, however, that I would not offhandedly dismiss anyone else in the RP.


I don't mind being the only person in the RP that gets worked up over "nothing", I believe that a story is in the small details. How much attention is paid to tiny insignificant details separates a bad writer from a good one. Anyone can write a story few can write a logically sound story.

That aside, I do not believe that I presented it in a confrontation manner, I presented the original issue in a way to provoke only discussion. If you took it any other way, I'm sorry, that was not my intent. I did take the moral high ground. If the other option is to rage and flame at someone over the internet, I will take the moral high ground every time. Pointing that out like it's something I did wrong makes no sense.

Again, calling the the fact that I wrote a paragraph like it's something I did wrong is nonsense. How else am I to express how I feel? <sarcasm>Y U NO CARE?!?! </sarcasm>

I did call you names. I called you names pointing out what you were acting like, and I stand by it, you are acting childish. Does make you a child? No, it means that at this moment, in this regard you are not acting mature enough to have a simple discussion over a point I raised. Don't believe me? It's why we are discussing this in the first place.

Me being right about the physics is a moot point, I'm more concerned with with way it seemed like you just laughed it off without any stuctured argument. It probably doesn't matter. In fact, I like the idea of creating a mobile fortress by putting a tower on a whirlwind. It's cool and creative.

As side note, we are having a discussion, not an argument, I will be civil while we sort this out, and I sincerely thank you for being civil and ask that you continue to be as civil as you have been.

Yes, I wrote paragraphs, I am a writer at heart and that is what I do. It is my passion.

While that does apply, I chose to interprete suspension of disbelief as being for the plot elements, for example, magic. I'm not questioning their ability to use magic, or the more outrageous uses of magic, I'm not questioning how she know how much lift she needs to move the tower, or how the magic is working in the first place, (is it creating a massive low-pressure area? Is it pushing the wind along? Ect.) But for the details, small or large I will not suspend my disbelief because to ignore it would be to ignore fundamental forces that effect how everything interacts, i.e., physics.

I feel like I didn't explain it very well here, but I hope you get the gist of what I am trying to say.

@Crimson Raven Nah I get it. The definition was mostly for anyone else that perhaps would not get the visual pun or know the term. However I could have just said, "Suspension of disbelief" and probably put the image and it would have worked just fine. But I digress, I wanted to post the image because it was the first thing I thought of when @Lugubrious posted the video and it seemed relevantly silly.

I specifically didn't mention anyone in that post because I wasn't directing it to anyone in particular, merely the situation at hand gave me the opportunity.

Sure. That should be amusing what with her and Nolan's sudden shift in behavior.
