Yeah I thought so too. ;)

But I actually do find it really annoying that he doesn't say graphics. he says graphic. :( It angers the gods.

Or did you?








What?

Yes.








Because.

OKAY well I came in really late, but here are my comments on all this ****

Taking things personally----
First, Kinatt (I think it was kinatt?), when he said that that artists dont think and you took it personally, why? Don't jump to conclusions here and start complaining about how I don't like artists - I am one myself. Before he said that I heard a whole lot of pointless stupid and sensless comments. Alot of people on graal are dumbasses :whatever:

The IQ test----
Programming (or scripting) takes alot of problem solving and, as was said, just plain logic. Yes, you do have to memorize alot of commands, but it goes further than that. After that you need to know how to APPLY it. If you can honestly say that programming takes less intelligence (or equal) than drawing/pixeling/graphic work (yes, graphic with no "S" :D lol), then...well see the last sentence of the last paragraph -_-

Graphics vs Programming (...again, or scripting)
I don't find it hard to admit, YES scripts build the world. Also, YES having great is both, but scripts are more essential. People at first glance would go for the one with better graphics. Once they see it has nothing to actually do though they might switch to the next though (unless they use the game as just a chat room, then a nice environment is better). Use the graphics to draw people in, use the scripts to keep them.

......
Did you just now realize this?

Ha!

right

of course not

If somebody makes a ridiculous statement like 'all artists are stupid', it's safe to assume that they're exaggerating.

Yeah, I was just being pedantic :-p

Something like that isn't easily seen, especially with text messages. It's hard to strip messages of their emotional qualities and expect to know what the typist is trying to portray behind those messages.
