Are you implying that parody and impersonation can be used interchangeably? Because nothing could be further from the truth. I'm not trying to assume your persona. I'm merely trying to show how out of touch it is with reality.

I'm implying that parody is a form of impersonation. You implied that parody wasn't impersonation earlier.
You tell people to learn definitions but it seems you have a hard time with this too. Are you a parody of yourself?

Just like almost every TMO suspension ever.

Sure demonstrate your point, or do you find this too difficult considering the lack of evidence to support you?

I think if the ruling went the other way, this could have been a potential result.

Agreed this is an issue. Until recently guilds have been easy to define. I have to agree with Alarti that the current system has all sorts of unintend consequences, such as having to redefine guild so it is more than just a tag (although I believe that was already a slight issue with the problems of 'alt guilds' in the past).

It's certainly an interesting discussion to read as someone completely outside to the guild scene.

Hello! New player here and forum junkie. As an outside opinion it looks like TMO had a problem with their leadership and took the opportunity to restructure. During this restructure they took advantage of an unclear section of the raid rules combined with a Sirken post to change raid classes. Now that newly restructured guild is playing the Tiny Tim with no Soup ploy to act like they're being discriminated against even tho there is evidence (via a forum screenshot) that they AT THE LEAST knew they were doing something questionable.

Why didn't this new guild just contact the staff for clarification? If the raid force was 95% TMO members, wouldn't they be familiar with the possible repercussions of gaming the system? Sounds like they went for forgiveness instead of permission.

Asking for clear cut cases of precedent like its a courtroom is scary. How would all of that information ever be catalogued? The staff would have to maintain an archive of people bitching with detailed information on everything from characters present to guild rosters.

IM A LEVEL 9 MIN/MAX OGRE WAR IN EC!
As a side note, if you're complaining that this suspension is going to make your guild any less ready for Velious after you've farmed Kunark for years....uhh lol

Exhibit A) How can you insist words mean the same thing when your own definitions show no overlapping synonyms? They both may be forms of imitation, as you pointed out, but they clearly branch in two different directions.

parody .. also called spoof, send-up or lampoon

Impersonation .. synonyms: impression, imitation

Exhibit B) My Clooney is a much older and wiser Clooney.

I'm not sorting through the TMO suspensions again. There are way too many of them.

If anything, Samoht is repairing the damage done to Clooney's visage by Alarti.

Your circular logic is strong. Your reading comprehension isn't. Go read those definitions again. You aren't making a parody of a subject?? you are making a parody of a person/identity. Impersonation is assuming an identity and imitating some traits. Parody just adds another layer. They are't divergent concepts at all.

parody (/ˈpærədi/; also called spoof, send-up or lampoon), in use, is a work created to imitate, make fun of, or comment on an original work, its subject, author, style, or some other target, by means of satiric or ironic imitation

im·i·tate

verb
take or follow as a model.
"his style was imitated by many other writers"
copy (a person's speech or mannerisms), especially for comic effect.

Poor kid.

He is afraid of the facts because they will disprove the points he tries to make.
