    All right everyone, here's the deal,
     
    I honestly hate getting upset about certain things, but it's come to my attention that some of you (whose names I will not name in this thread) have given off the impression that for some reason winning prizes or the prizes that were chosen for this giveaway are not to your liking. Normally that's fine, but in all honesty do you really think it's okay to complain to me about it? Have you ever gotten a gift from a family member or friend and said to their face, "well shit dude, this is a dumb gift and I don't want it?" I hope not.
     
    Before joining this activity, I gave you a list of what was available, where I tried (to the best of my ability) to pick a variety of prizes that would cater to all types of fans that are popular here on the forums of Fuwanovel. That being said, Keisuke (who contributed a pool of money to these prizes) and I went out of our way during the holiday season to get these things, and for some reason (though I seriously hope it isn't the intention), people are upset about how the prizes work.
     
    Some of you are extremely grateful, and for that I thank you! To those of you who aren't, perhaps I am reading it wrong, but the way some people have been coming off as of late is starting to annoy me. You literally had to do nothing to signup for this giveaway; if you don't like a prize, pass on it. If you don't want it, sell it on your own time or give it to someone else, but don't spit it in my face how upset you are and how you "want a different prize because you don't like what you got." Seriously, be grateful you are even getting anything at all.
     
    Again, I am sorry for getting upset, but a lot of people have come off with a negative vibe on how this giveaway is run, and it's annoying me. I hope it is a serious misunderstanding and I apologize if it is. With that, thanks to everyone that participated in the giveaway.
     
    Congratulations to all of the prize winners once again, and have a wonderful new year.

    Very disappointed. I didn't win anything.  
    I now hate all of humanity, because I clearly didn't before.

    There's a hard cap of 40 characters for some reason on the full form, but not on the small one, dunno why that inconsistency exists. I'll check the database really quick to see about DB limits (which are the actual cap).
     

     
    Edit: VARCHAR(255), so this is a really weird inconsistency. One I'm unable to fix without the ability to edit forum templates, unfortunately.

    This is probably really weird for a thread... But I don't know where else to report this finding. (I've decided to post here as per Tay's "Important Note")
     
    Anyway, I'll do my best to showcase this with pictures.

     

     
    But if I click "Use Full Editor" with a huge subject already inserted it doesn't cut it off. 
    Full Editor doesn't let me write subject bigger than a certain amount of letters, but it's fine if one was already there.

    i salute ur kurage

    if i was new to this site, id honestly have no fking clue whether a thread should be in general discussion, lounge, or coliseum of chatter.
     
    But enough of this. I don't really care for this as much as it may seem from my relentless onslaught of suggestions  . I'm sure a majority of the users of this site could care less too. I'll stop pestering, but I'll leave it in Tiago's hands to pursue my grand wish: Lounge->Fuwacommmuntiy xD

    "It doesn't follow the VN" isn't an argument against it at all. They announced from the beginning that new elements would be incorporated. As long as it's good it doesn't matter, in fact it brings some spice for people who read the VN and want a bit more than just what they read already with shiny SFX.

    Mr Poltroon reacted to Zakamutt in What Does Language Mean to You?   
    Practically everyone that's not at geezer-level here understands English decently and can at least hold somewhat of a conversation, but my relation to it goes much deeper. I got early exposure to the language as my parents spoke it around me sometimes (they're decent, especially my dad, but certainly not at my level.) I cruised through English lessons almost effortlessly compared to my peers thanks to the level of immersion possible on the Internet combined with reading books fully in English at an early age (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was taking ages to come out in Swedish.) Not to mention playing this Settlers II demo to death...
     
    It got to the point where I was annoyed at people who couldn't speak English, the master language and lingua franca of the Internet. I suppose the only part separating me from weeaboo level was (and is?) not caring much for England or America as actual countries. These days, I very rarely think in Swedish (I actually tried to think exclusively in Swedish yesterday for a while, and it was very difficult to keep it up), and I don't speak it all that much at home either.
     
    When speaking English, I am much more confident than when I use my native language. I have a good command of Swedish as well, but when using English, I can maintain much more of a distance to my emotions. Using Swedish makes me feel extremely vulnerable.
     
    This isn't necessarily a good thing - speaking English is a crutch which helps me overcome my social phobia, but I can't really use it offline in most circles (and even then, it can be obnoxious).
     
    I've lost most of the French I learnt in school (not much, really), though I can read very basic texts due to immersion from being in France a lot during holidays. I don't actually speak it there, though, so on that point I'm terrible. Ah well, I have Japanese to learn...

    Mod magic! I'm gonna start trying to apply something we discussed about with the board mods: make dedicated threads or merge with existing one some of the discussion that occurs in "What are you playing" (about the full game, the "while playing" thoughts are the purpose of that thread after all).
     
    So have fun, I'll bump this thread when I'll have read SubaHibi, everybody hypes it so much I end up being quite excited about it!
