    Default Conflict is for the birds

    O, Rilley.

    The Woodpecker
    Removed hotlinked picture

    The Woodpecker is always right.It is either his way or no way to solve an issue.He is strict, he is authoritarian.He is always trying to impose his view.
    An example would be daddy who forbids his daughter arriving from a party later than 9 PM, and his daughter not saying anything, thinking that no promise means she can come later.

    Expect a hostile reaction.Use it only in vital problems where you are right.

    A bad use of this tactic was shown by Tribesy lately.

    The Owl

    When faced with a conflict the Owl strives to understand the other party. He will ask again and again "Why?" "Why?" and annoy you with that kind of questions.He is just like a parent who asks his daughter "Why are you so upset today?" despite no replies.

    If the other side is patient enough you can use this approach.It will yield the best results.It will also make you look hesitant.

    The Parrot

    The Parrot strives for relationships.If conflicts arise he shall be espected to give up his turf just to make you happy and prevent a PR nightmare for him. He will always emphasise on similarities.

    A good example might just be a poster who diverts a talk with a "Ad Creditum" fallacy so the conflict is extinguished. He is more likely to be a pushover and people will begin to disrespect him. He will even take the blame on himself.

    Use only when the person is important to you like a modeller when you are supporting historian in a mod.


    The Hummingbird

    The Hummingbird strives for compromise. He quickly moves from one point to another with impressive speed.

    A good example might be the XX Mod fans who seek to push their faction into the final version and rapidly change horses.

    The Ostrich

    When faced with a hostile thread the Ostrich will scream joycamptour and bury his head in the sand.

    Should I use spoiler tags Banquo?

    You might prefer the good old Flame warriors.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?
