All I see in the comments here are a bunch of haters that wouldn't know the majestic graces of an actual-real forest dryad (horse) if one frolicked with palpable yearning right in front of them! This "camel - toe"
you are all speaking of might just be the threshold to each of your respective infinite bliss. Nature!

Lord Tywin reveals his knowledge of Arya's ruse - S2E7

radx says...

@MilkmanDan

A) "Lord Tywin might rule House Lannister, but Lady Joanna ruled Tywin."

Just paraphrasing, of course, but Joanna was not just Tywin's wife. It is said, she was the only one to ever make him smile and his trusted advisor and companion. Kevan took her spot as Tywin's trusted advisor, but her death left a void, never to be filled again.

So Tyrion didn't just "kill" his wife, his birth marked the end of Tywin's only connection to a life beyond his cold, calculating self.

B) Tywin had plans for his twins, yet the tourney at Harrenhal put an end to that, sort of, leaving him with the Imp as his heir and only bargaining chip for alliances through marriage. Nothing to condemn Tyrion for, but I would assume it turned Tywin even more bitter than he already was.

Most importantly though, I think Tyrion's marriage to Tysha broke the camel's back. In the eyes of Tywin, Lord Tytos, his father, brought shame upon House Lannister by parading his lowborn mistress around Casterly Rock, wearing the garments and jewelry of Tytos' deceased wife, Tywin's mother. To see his own son with a lowborn girl, just like the father he had despised to much... it's a wonder he didn't put Tyrion into an oubliette below the Rock.

I'd say Tywin knows very well that Tyrion is much more like him than Cersei and Jaime could ever be. Tywin's sister Genna had the right of it when she proclaimed Tyrion to truly be his father's son. And as much as he follows Tywin's lead, Kevan must have told him as much as well.

But between Tyrion's marriage to a lowborn girl, his whoring, his loose tongue and fondness of japes and quips, there's too much about him that rubs Tywin the wrong way.

Group Work Kills Creativity & Brainstorming Doesn't Work

00Scud00 jokingly says...

Too late, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Also, how is a camel a horse designed by committee? A camel is simply evolved to live in drier environments where horses would die of thirst, seriously, wtf?

I would say something clever here, but I don't want the group to evaluate me negatively.

Beggar and his - camel?

Let's talk about *Promote (Sift Talk Post)

dag says...

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I would say that we have been as inclusive in the development process as possible. We had several rounds of feature request discussions, we let testers in as early as possible and we implemented *many* features directly from ideas thought up by Sifters. The maximum power points by year limitation, for example.

I don't know how we could have been more inclusive. At some point Lucky and I have to make decisions and implement.

No, we did not implement everything that everyone asked for - a camel is a horse designed by a committee. We were going for horse - not camel.

we do have a couple of guiding principles though that we use for making changes:

1. Changes should promote altruistic social behaviour and limit self-interest (that's been with us since the beginning)
2. Changes should increase the usefulness of the site

I'm not saying we succeeded on those points - but that's what we're always going for.

@dag I commend you for letting the users have so much influence over the site, but I don't agree that this was a very inclusive development process. A selected few was allowed to test the V5 beta, and that was with 3-4 months old data, making the use of the site practically meaningless, as far as I understand. Of course you are going to get an overwhelming amount of feedback from the excluded users, since parts of the website have gotten less functional.

But a little more on topic, I'm disagreeing with the reasons you and @lucky760 are changing the promote system. The "bigger picture" seems to be that you and @lucky760 have some issue with it. Nobody else seemed to complain. If you have any good reasons for changing it, please enlighten me, but so far I haven't heard any.

Also, I don't care how reddit looks. I don't chat on reddit. I don't know anybody on reddit. I don't have anything invested on reddit. And I haven't put any money into reddit.
I care about the sift. I've been here 6 years. I hope I'll stick around another 6. That is why I'm voicing my opinions, concerns and possible solutions.
