Its asking to lower drops or Get ride of alde, does it say

Option 1: Drop Alde
Option 2: Drop Alde

obviously not. It is also neutral in a sense, considering if you vote "no, trans woe is too hard" you are voting for no change. You could argue that more people could side with "no..etc" because it is 1 pure vote, not 2 split votes. You do notice no one can see who votes? Not even me, the topic creator? So even my own guild could be against it and I wouldn't know, whose going to know you posted "no" unless you openly said it?


Namine Wrote:Secondly, the wording on the last option is again providing hidden meanings. "trans woe is hard" itself implies that those who pick that option is in inferior position to those who choose the other two, thus asking people to only choose the other options as well.

If non-trans are inferior, it is obviously inferior isn't it?

you posted a flawed argument on a 'flawed dead topic', flawed logic anyone?
