Post self-sims of your favorite paysite creators

[Vrai]

Love your avatar Vrai, the borderline racist stuff, not so much. I don't like it when we descend into mocking paysite owner's ethnicity.

I tend to be a bit too politically incorrect at times. (No hate towards her /because/ of her ethnicity. Wanted to make that clear.)
I tend to be of the mindset that 'nothing is sacred' and rarely hold my tongue.  But my apologies to those whom it offended.  
Has been removed.

Can't really know what's allowed without testing the waters, can we?

Thank you sincerely for removing it - even dirty pirates have their breaking points.

[Vrai]

No worries. <3

I've known people to get banned on other forums for far less.

Thanks for the feedback.

BOTTLES OF RUM FOR YE ALL!

While you can post anything you want to here, there seems to be a consensus (through lack of vocal opposition) that it's best to keep the comments about paysite owners relatively PC so we can abuse them for things they deserve to be abused for (eg Peggy is a greddy bitch who makes shitty items and treats her customers with contempt) and not the irrelevant things (even though she is Chinese, it's not part of why we hate her) which will make people hate us. It also helps keep both sides of the argument more relevant.

Apologies for crappy, long sentence. I never did learn how to break them.

Thanks...err I mean ARRR!

Well, grammarians would prefer semi-colons and commas, but I'm a big fan of breaking sentences with an axe.

Whackity whack!

[Captain Feathersword]

Please feel free to attack my sentence with your axe. I am sure it can only be improved. In case you decide to put it back together later use these as liberally as you like.  ;,;;;,,;;,,

I'm afraid people would think you were me.  It somehow became my 'signature'..sort of.

Oh, I don't intend to use it.  I just like to collect stuff.

I don't like semicolons.  They're just icky.  Commas, on the other hand, are awesome and everyone should have one.

She looks like a cute little girl, ya know? The kind that ought to be chewing bubble gum and listening to the newest trash on the radio and giggling about boys. She doesn't look at all like the kind that would drain your pocketbook dry, but the old saying about judging a book by the cover applies...

[RedLove]

My english teacher got pissed at us for using commas. Mostly because half the freakin' class didn't know how to use them so would through them in there if it looked right. I never used them so I was good.

Paden, she reminds me of a Grimlin.

Commas can't be used every time. Commas can only join together an independent and dependent clause. If you use one to join together two independent clauses it is an error called a comma splice. Semi-Colons are used to separate two independent clauses. [/grammar lesson]

That's the only thing I really remember from English last year...

The Peggy sim looks nice. The real-Peggy picture really doesn't look like the essence of paysite evil, does it?

[Ensign EO]

I have no idea what you're talking about, you're an idiot.  :wink:

That's why I just use periods.

Commas are easy!

Among the many things I've done in my life is teaching English grammar and composition. Note that the following rules are for American English...they may be SLIGHTLY different for other forms.

There are four simple rules for using commas:

1. Use a comma to join two independent clauses when joined by a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so).
ex. I pillaged Atwa's stuff at TSR, but I doubt anyone will download it.

2. Use a comma to separate items in a series.
ex. My least favorite paysites are TSR, TSR, and TSR.
ex. I think Peggy is a greedy, uncreative, annoying creator.

3. Use a comma to set off 'non-restrictive' clauses. Note that these clauses can be within the body of the sentence, as in the first example, or at the beginning, as in the second example. Also note that these 'non-restrictive' clauses can be one-word interjections, as in the third example.
ex. Cardrew, who may be a man or a woman, is among the worst clothing designers in the community.
ex. When pillaging for the booty, be certain to hide your IP and regular email address.
Fuck, those objects by Buntah give me butthurt.

4. Use commas as appropriate in dates, place names, and salutations.
ex. September 13, 1998
ex. Round Lake, New York, USA
ex. Dear Fuctard,

See? Easy.


Semicolons are easy too. The one rule that really matters is this:

Use a semicolon to separate independent clauses NOT separated by a coordinating conjunction.
ex. I needed eye bleach after visiting Spicy Sims; the sex toys alone are enough to drive one to drink.

All the other rules are for minor uses; if you really need to know, Google 'semicolon'.

[HideTheRum]

I just love it how you smoothly managed to insert a Dear Fuctard in this absolutely perfect and polite little lesson of yours :lol:

[Ieliminate]

I love writing, and reading. But, I hate the English language and all its freaking rules. I also hate how it's taught different everywhere, because it's really confusing. In most forms of writing I find a semi-colon useless and hate how it's used. I only use one when Word tells me to (and I agree with it) or if I wanted to impress my English teacher.

Good Examples Hecubus, very true to life, unlike most found in textbooks.
