  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hihiiiiiiii, Joi-san :)

I hear that you haven't quite sided yet.... on Le Great Debate. You probably like Joy, don't you? That's why you're not taking a side. But you should take a side! I like Joy too, but her taste in instruments is way weird. I think she's deaf towards the actual sound of le oboe. There's no other possible way she could've endured playing that instrument as long as she has. And to tell you the truth, she inwardly--she um, told me, kind of, this, well, she might have, or, she should have--prefers flutes to oboes.

And besides, you've played flute, you know the superiority of it! The silvery goodness is better than lightly toasted butter. So, yes. :) Flutes will conquer!

/me walks out, laughing wildly
*Laughs* Actually, I'm not taking sides because I haven't ever heard an oboe. Though I do agree that flutes are awesome... I sometimes miss playing flute, though I do like singing a lot. Speaking of which, voice lesson tomorrow!

WHAT????????? :swoon:

Well, at least you do have a good reason for it. I would've thought nothing bad about oboe had I not heard one either. But the moment you hear one.... especially a non-professional behind the helm--err, reed.... trust me, you would wholeheartedly support me. Unless you're deaf to oboe-badness, which should be quite rare! :p And don't mistake me, a professional oboist sounds completely different from an amateur, so it's not necessarily the decent(rare) and tolerable ones I am bandying against. It's.... very..... odd. >_<

Don't you have your flute anymore? :confused: Even if I quit like, orchestra, I would keep my flute and mess around on it occasionally! :D

*Shakes head* Unfortunately the flute I was using was rented, so I had to give it back :(

*Nods* I know what you mean about a professional sounding different from am amateur.

Or near-completely deaf, like I am. :sorry:

I like the oboe, gosh darnit! There's nothing wrong with the way it sounds! It's like a fancy clarinet!

Actually, my bro and I are quite different. ...Well, not TOO different, but we have our striking differences, that's for sure. We get along really well, though. Wasn't always so, but I'm glad it is in the last days I have at home.

Sam, that actually wouldn't be much of a problem. Go with something like a Nord, Imperial, or Dark Elf, take the Knight class, and bam, greatsword-wielding do-gooder.:) My Orc Barbarian is kinda like that, except he either uses a great axe, a mace and shield, or crossbow, and I tend to have little sympathy for unruly dark elves.:sorry: They're very much racist, and they're worst to Orcs, so I don't normally feel to guilty about killing slavers, ones who attack me outright, or even suspected criminals. I've really only killed one dark elf in cold blood, and that was because I accidentally just clicked my mouse after talking to him and ended up smashing him in the head with my mace.:doh:

No no no. It's quite different. I mean, an amateur flutist still sounds somewhat like a professional. The difference between the experience(and quality) of the oboist is night and day. Even Joy admits that she cringes on hearing newbies go at it! :p Seriously. It's whiny, loud, and can be heard over an entire orchestra. Trust me... I know. >_<

You haven't heard a real oboe, being played by a real oboist. Like, a normal person. (anybody who can play that instrument well isn't normal!) Anybody playing oboe in our age group (teens and such) sounds simply miserable. Because, I mean, experience and having an insanely expensive instrument really makes a difference! I have heard good oboe playing and it is simply amazing, but phew. Keep me away from the goose mating calls! :p

The flute sounds like a yapping chihuahua when played incorrectly, so nyah. :p

Awesome. This game sounds better and better. Now, the only problem I'll have with it is time and knowing when I've 'won'. I know you can't possibly do everything there is to do in the game, but is there anything that resembles an end?

*is suddenly reminded of Lego Star Wars, which he has beaten with lil bro several times over. Knows almost every quirk in game.

I... don't know. My Uncle, who has been playing for a few years now, said he's long finished everything there is to do, and can even walk about in daylight as a Vampire, he's so strong, but I don't know for sure. On Solstheim, there seems to be some "end" to the area, but not to the game itself.

It split?! Or maybe I'm just utterly confused. I'm on a really slow internet cafe computer.

And I never said anything about prefering flutes to oboes! OBOES ARE THE BEST!!!!! :D
I KNOW! I did my best to defend your honor, Joy! :p

Hi Joisan! :wave:
