Do excess accolades strengthen or hinder a respect thread? [PLEASE VOTE]

Please vote in the polls. Comments made below won't be taken into consideration.

Only thing that matters are feats.

And, didn't vote. **** the system.

There should be a middle ground. There are accolades which won't help you in a debate but give a good idea of what the character is all about, and build an image in your head of what they are intended to be. They're good to have in a respect thread for the sake of respecting the character and learning about their strengths.

Vague stuff like "he is a powerful Jedi" "he is well trained" "he is a skilled and feared fighter throughout the land" is just pointless excess.

I rather read Feats since Feats>Accolades. If the Accolade is something that we have a good idea on, like Nomi and Thon being compared to Yoda, those are the most preferred.

It's pretty much up to the author/creator of the respect thread i would assume, Nova and Silver don't seem to use accolades in their respect threads, Marco's Mace Windu respect thread highlights a lot of the more "important" stuff Mace has(Second to Yoda in duelings, second most powerful jedi council member etc etc..) In my opinion, there should be a nice combination of both[Feats & Accolades]

Nova uses accolades in his respect threads. Marco uses useless fluff and misinterpreted creator quotes.

And it was actually Nova, Silver, JXM ect who found and posted the "Mace is second only to Yoda" accolades in the first place, along with many others.

And hell, Nova actually created a better Windu respect thread than Marco's and it's jammed full of dueling accolades, with a better feat demonstration to boot:

Not being an internet knight or anything but people rag on Nova, Silver ect all the time on here (not necessarily you, Fated), whenever they get the chance, and it's usually unfounded nonsense.

Nova sucks.

It depends on the accolades themselves. Some are just pointless and can apply to any sub-par Jedi.

Lies. No sub-par Jedi can be "strong in the Force."

I never referenced that accolade.

None can be "powerful warriors" either.

Never referenced that either.

I know. :woah:

It's better if they are mixed in with feats, to strengthen it overall. Although those with just multiple accolades/char statements, when that's all you have and it's repeated multiple times, you can't really ignore that.

Use important accolades and disregard the rest, as I told you a while back. A lot of the stuff you include is dumb fluff.

Like, "it takes a strong man to unite the Republic and the Empire. Not a good man, but a strong one."

Seriously?

To be fair it only took a half crippled droid man to throw Sidious down a mine shaft.

That was my newest addition... 🙁
