The Revan Respect Thread: Update Thread

Started by LadyKulvax47 pages

Nice thread, very cloistered though.

You're argument is pretty respectable :hmm

I feel some holes can be punched into it, especially in regard to him using force powers on korriban and the Star Forge, but the majority of your post is fairly solid.

Wookieepedia-adapted Revan Respect Thread - Coming Soon.

I've been polishing the respect thread / adding more content pretty much daily.
If you haven't checked it out in the last month, I suggest strongly you check it out again.
Sure, it's a pretty long read, but you can break it into parts or just skim over it.

Still TL;DR.

I'll be making a TL;DR version for Wookieepedia soon, tbh.

Good luck with that

IIRC, their editing guidelines are anal retentive

The best respect thread ever made if I do say so myself, despite our differences, credit where credit is due.

One of the reasons I asked him to help me get into making respect threads.

It's also anything but readable.

Would be really good if you could make a smaller RT of his best feats, instead of a huge one with all of them. I feel like your thread is great for us in debates but is way too long for anyone who ever wants to just read a respect thread and figure a placement for a character....

Eh, I read it all the way through. Guess it depends on your attention span and desire.

The thread is structured in a "best-to-worst" fashion which allows readers to be able to quickly check out Revan's best feats without them needing to go through all the minor stuff as well. If you want just "his best feats," you should look at the first couple feats in each section for his greatest displays of each ability. No one is forcing you to read through all the twenty Telekinesis feats.

Revan isn't the type of character who has a lot of "meh" feats also. Most of his feats are pretty fantastic - hence why he has the giant fanbase. I feel every feat brings together another part of Revan's power, and nothing should simply be ignored because it's "not good enough." I can't stand people who make respect threads that intentionally leave out content. Leaving out shit is a giant middle-finger to all the work and effort put into finding it in the first place, and sometimes even gives the reader a false impression of a lack of feats. I understand your concern though, and I feel Nephthys and The_Tempest feel the same way. Like I said, I plan on compressing my thread into a paragraph form summary for Wookieepedia (and the summary will probably also be featured at the very start of my respect thread). Perhaps that can satisfy your laziness.

Frankly, the fact that he's as complete as he is in terms of info is why his thread is so good

It puts everything out on the table in plain view for everyone to gauge

Not just a small sample

Just putting out his or any characters "best feats" can become disingenuous... especially if you're unfamiliar with the series and lacking any real context and want a quick glance at the character in question

Tangent

But

How's that Yoda thread coming? :hmm

:maybe

👆 Thank you, Chaos.

What's there to thank?

Just figured it'd be common sense you want all the information available

Lest you get ****ers treating Spider-Man vs Firelord as a legit Spidey showing for example

Extreme as hell example, but the point is kind of made either way

I'm not debating that at all, no one's saying to cut content out of his thread. 😕

I've read the whole thing.

Not everyone however has the willpower to read that, and not everyone actually cares anywhere near as much as us. A smaller respect thread would reach out to the more casual debaters from other forums, that's all I'm saying.

Eh

Suppose I just don't care to appeal to the "casual" (subjective term too really, I hardly consider myself all that "serious" :hmm) debater

If I did?

Wouldn't do as many stupid high school physics calcs for fiction as I do in the OBD for fun
