Conversely.
OP (generally a brand new alpha alt and thank god those get to post anywhere, wew): <A post asking how to beat an obstacle that they’ve met, be it a part of the game or other players. These are usually accompanied by questions about game mechanics and the willingness to accept that they may have made a mistake, and the belief that learning from their mistakes is a way to resolve problems that they’re having>
Basically everyone: So much help and information that the OP is overwhelmed.

English is full of amusing little nuggets and anachronisms, I like to use them to confuse and amuse people
My proudest moment was the successful use of defenestrated in a thread about whether Eve was a fair game or not.

Theoretical equal quality of outcomes is equity.
Equality meaning that everybody is treated the same, equity meaning that someone is given what they need to be successful.
Both are true of Eve, the game treats us all the same and the players often help others by providing them with what they need to be successful, in addition to what the game already provides; what the receiver does with what they have been given is where equality and equity get defenestrated.
Only three search results, the one from this thread included.

defenestrated
A defenestration caused, for a part, the 30 year war in the 17th century. Was the first time I came across the word when I read a book about the war.

Yeah the history attached to it is quite interesting, a defenestration was also responsible for the Hussite war; both incidences occurred in Prague.

Yes, absolutely! Your bio indicates you’re french?
Nah it’s just a couple lines from the song Reflektor lol. French has become something of a third language for me I guess, still improving on it.
And thank you
