I don’t even know how to go about answering this ask. The character has existed since late 2008 and I’ve been RPing him since 2009. I suppose they have some similarities (big guy with a messed up cheek, result of scourge experiments, big fuzzy cloak, ??? they have a red dragon friend I guess???) but like honestly pro tip don’t send artists asks like this.
“oh we want people to spend more time exploring the world!”
“so we’re not going to give them flying!”
“or any reason to go out into the world when it’s approximately 100058954% more convenient to sit in your garrison and gather things that way, because the gathering system is only efficient in competition with garrison buildings if you can fly!”
“and the one thing that made people go back out into the world in Cata – because they wanted to unlock little lore tidbits, earn money, get a chance at rare mounts and pets, and so on?”
“YEAH THAT’S A PAIN IN THE ARSE WITHOUT FLYING because I guess we didn’t tell the people in charge of designing digsites for Draenor that we weren’t going to introduce flying at all. Also you can do it by sitting in your Garrison and collecting minecarts once a day.”
“But, um, jumping puzzles! that you can only complete for any reward once per character! SUPER FUN GAME, RIGHT GUYS?”
“I know people went out in the world in MoP to hunt rares to get mounts and items to sell on the AH, but we’re going to overhaul that and make the first kill of any rare the only one worthwhile on that character. Ever. And maybe it won’t even be worthwhile! Because the drops are set and you could kill a rare as a priest and get a fist weapon.”
“Also: we’re not going to tell the overworld designers that we’re not going to put flying in the game. It’s not like they’re going to put tiny items with collision geometry everywhere so that if you try to go off a pathway (which are obviously going to be straightforward, direct, and clearly marked because we’re not going to be putting flying in the game and nobody wants to waste their time when they just want to get from point ‘A’ to point ‘B’) you end up running into a million items that you then have to run around!”
lmfao just end me my parents are talking about LGBT month and how there should be a White and Conservative AMERICAN Month
: ^ )
every fucking time they say shit like this it feels like a knife in the heart
Good thing they have:
January
March
April
May
June
July
November
December
Actually, they would not have November, as it’s National Native American Heritage Month. I know, the whole Thanksgiving thing falling in that month throws me off sometimes, too.
al•leg•ged•ly- (adv) used to convey that something is claimed to be the case or have taken place, although there is no proof.
Sometimes they say “allegedly” specifically to avoid potential legal issues. In the USA you’re supposed to be “innocent until proven guilty” so “allegedly” is safer to use, as it avoids most legal issues.
(Even though he clearly pulled something on them. One could argue it was a water pistol replica or rubber training gun or something, even though the chances of that are next to none.)
Reblogging this again as I have done some research and have more information. (Note, it is also possible he had pulled a taser gun. Regardles….)
Most places are trying to say this is a race-related incident. From what I’m seeing, it isn’t. Here are the facts.
This happened in a Home Owners Association community where there is a community pool. The pool allows TWO guests per resident – this is a rule you abide by if you live in this community. However, a teenager living in the community and a DJ who set up by the pool invited people on Twitter to a pool party. The teenager did NOT request or obtain permission before doing this. The teen also charged people $15 per person for entry to this unsanctioned party.
The invite went viral, as these sorts of things tend to do. The resulting hoards of teenagers damaged property, and were being rude to the people who lived there. They were told to leave, and, instead of leave, they became aggressive. What you don’t see in this still image is an officer who was being surrounded on all sides by people. His reaction was to defend himself, and he pulled a weapon. Upon pulling it, the surrounding people scattered (you see /some/ of them in this still image).
So, it’s still allegedly because court case and all that, but, even if he did pull a taser or real gun, I would say he was 100% justified as he had reasonable belief his safety was in danger.
I’ve seen this spiraling out of control yet again, and I did the same research you did. My mom was like “I’m going to that protest” and I was like, why? And she explained and showed me the full video of how freaking neglectful the kids were of not following a simple rule. And making cash off of it. The didn’t behave at all when police confronted them. They ran around screaming and scattered without following order. I personally disliked the way the cop shoved the girl to the ground and pulled out supposed gun, but there’s not much else I can say on that.
He gets just as close as the kids do, and in fact he gets closer. Compare this:
Where he’s literally stepping over the girl, to this:
You can’t say that the cop that the cop couldn’t have noticed him either. The same guy is actually in the frame above, right next to the girl in the top pictures. Meanwhile he does not get a gun pointed at him. There is a definite difference in the way the cop treats the black bystanders as opposed to the way he treats the white ones.
