I realize it's another spin-off, I know what "異聞録" means (lit. Strange tale record), if the whole "DEVIL SURVIVOR" part wasn't an indication.  sweatdrop

I just wonder if a similar naming scheme indicates any other possible similarities between this new game and the first Persona.

Yeah, I don't have a DS myself but I'm thinking of getting one somewhere down the line.  I have a bunch of import Advance games that are just sitting on the shelf in my room.  face15

I am really really really curious about this game though, especially with the "Megami Ibunroku"-prefix.  If it's anything like the first Persona at all I am so buying it.

Great information about the Civil War that fits into no particular category!

Which describes an organizational policy rather than the word 'potpourri' itself.

Famitsu magazine recently unveiled a two-page teaser ad for the new Megaten game to be released for the DS.

There aren't any screenshots afaik, but here's the advert anyway:

Are you arrogant enough to declare this website (http://www.civilwarhome.com/potpourr.htm) in breech of the potpourri laws?

Actually, their usage is correct, but again, 'potpourri' describes *ALL* of the articles on that page, not just the ones that don't fit into other categories.  I just said it was anecdotal not incorrect.

I agree though, this probably should have been through PMs.  sweatdrop  We all get carried away now and again.

I'd like to apologize if my conduct is discouraging other potential or existent members in anyway though.  I don't want people to feel like they don't have a voice.

Thing is I don't care. I dunno where you're getting these ideas in the first place. If there isn't a section on a word in an English textbook then there is no sanctified usage of it to speak of.

I know how people use potpourri, and what they mean when they do so. It's that simple. If you think it inappropriate fine, but it isn't incorrect.

Great, glad we could establish this.   doh  It is totally incorrect but whatever.  You're "always right," remember?  biggrin  Fucking thick as a brick, that's for sure.

I've pointed to plenty of English textbooks, remember?  And I just provided usage.

AT this point though, it's so not worth arguing about because I already know you won't change it.  Whether it's not to look like a moron or because you just can't be wrong for any reason, I don't really care.

Better get "facilitating," that page then, because I'm surely not going to do it.  I don't want my handle anywhere near it.

You're being a fag cause your making a big todo about nothing...

I haven't seen you prove anything, yet I've provided incontravertible evidence up the wazoo.

You're just not helping at some point (generally after the 3rd post)

No, you've provided nothing but anecdotal evidence used out of context.  You're just fucking wrong.

And plainly, you've been a huge douche about this from the beginning.  I'm just trying to help you, but it's clear that you don't want or need my help.
38  Post Apocalyptic Hellscape / The Underground / Re: SPLIT: Potpourri is the devil and other offtopic classics on: October 27, 2008, 02:53:49 PM
If you say "A collection of articles about a potpourri of Megaten games," you'd be referring to ALL of them.  You can't pick out an individual sub-classification and call it "potpourri."  It makes no sense.

If you say, "A collection of articles about miscellaneous Megaten games," that actually makes sense.

Seriously, if you don't get it by now then you're pretty much hopeless.  redface     
39  Post Apocalyptic Hellscape / The Underground / Re: SPLIT: Potpourri is the devil and other offtopic classics on: October 27, 2008, 02:45:51 PM
Just because I disagree with you doesn't mean I'm being adversarial.  If you can't deal with the honest efforts of someone trying (probably in vain) to correct a mistake you made, that's your problem not mine.

It does concern me slightly that the site administrator tells me I'm "being a fag," because I don't want to the site to use an incorrect word though.  If anything, you're the one being adversarial.  You're refusing to change one stupid little word because of your baseless insistence that it's appropriate even after I've provided numerous examples as to why it pointedly isn't.  You're just throwing stones from a glass house.

For fuck's sake. This is place is pretty much turning into the Haven........

Nah, this place lacks wacked bondage angel-wannabes and associated parroters.

I don't understand why people can't disagree on something on the internet without someone (who usually is not even taking part in the argument in the first place) being offended.

So, yeah.  You're still wrong.

I never said I was right. I said "I thought". I'm always clear when I don't know what I'm talking about rolleyes

You're making a pissing contest out of thin air. Sorry, but I'm not gonna defend a mispelling to the death.

Then don't.  Don't back-peddle now.  Just because you said "I thought" doesn't excuse the fact that you used an out-of-context quote from Wikipedia to back your false idea of what the tenor range is.

Quote
That's not true... you're just pulling that out of your ass. First you've never heard the word used before, now your an authority?? It basically just means "stuff" ...it's not hard to figure out rolleyes

No it does not "basically mean stuff."  doh  You are pointedly the one pulling stuff out of your ass, or random, unrelated websites as it were.  I've never heard the word used to describe an alike subclass of elements that don't fit into main categories, no, and I know you haven't either.

That's just the way Wordpress organizes itself. There's no real way to get around it for now. Besides I think it's a natural way to organize things when dealing with a lot of information. And it should be applied consistently.

I'm not saying it shouldn't be alphabetical, I just think you're being unaccountably anal about the occurrence of elements within that list if it is alphabetical, I.E. insisting that the "Spin-offs" section occurs last.

All the games are spin-offs. Well technically except for the ones in the potpourri section tongue

 doh doh doh doh doh doh doh doh doh doh doh doh

Where you got that from, I'll never know.

Please for the love of god no more goodnight

Oh, please.  It's just because you know you don't have a leg to stand on.  Just change it already.  razz

Wouldn't the text above it be the header?

Anyways, kinda moot since I can't edit my news posts.

The only reason the images in my posts aren't center aligned is because the Word press doesn't like it for some reason, hence the white space.  It appears to work fine on Tony's posts for some reason though, so I'm probably doing something wrong.

I don't know it just seems more trouble than it's worth really.
43  Post Apocalyptic Hellscape / The Underground / Re: Time to get up and move! on: October 26, 2008, 07:00:29 PM
You probably turned that on yourself, but I could be wrong.

Twasn't me.   sweatdrop  I didn't even realize I *had* a profile in the WP.

The tenor generally sings in falsetto voice
I thought that was true, but what do I know.
I do one round of bullet point replies then I'm out of the ball game.

Do you really think using out-of-context quotes proves your point?  That's only in BARBERSHOP.  If you bothered to read further:

Quote from: wikipedia
The "lead" in barbershop music is equivalent to the normal tenor range

So, yeah.  You're still wrong.

If the game was called Jack Boarders and didn't feature characters from other games equally it would be Megaten enough.

Well, considering the enemies aren't Megaten related at all...  I mean have you even read about the story to this game?

Quote from: wikipedia
In English, "potpourri" is often used to refer to any collection of miscellaneous or diverse items.

You're just being neurotic and childish, and if you can find any instance where I'm technically wrong you win a prize.

Look, you don't have to call me names just to justify your erroneous choice of words.  A "potpourri" used to describe a miscellany of things describes the whole, it does not describe individual elements.  All the game articles would have to be "potpourri," for it to actually be "potpourri."

Wanting to be correct is hardly being neurotic.  Insisting on the precise order of elements within an alphabetical tree however probably is.  dazed

If you're offended by a French loan word or the cut of it's jib or whatever, ok. I'll consider suitable replacements as they're presented. But the usage is not wrong by any measure... you however are on this petty point. Give it up confused

I'm not offended, you just plainly are wrong to be using it in this context.  "Spin-offs," is probably the only real choice.

edited: What do you have to do to play with the hoodie? I take it isn't just an option from the start??

You have to have already beaten this edition of the game and be on your second cycle.  I mean, you're wearing it at the beginning, but you lose it after you run into lil' Lucifer and get your first Magatama.  I guess it grants some minor stat bonuses of some sort.
