*staring in mute horror*
Dragon Ball: After the End
I edited in "another thread" as another solution. And here's the thing, I looking at all sides, and I suspect there's some fundamental misunderstandings, but that's okay, this how people are, and only by rubbing up against each other can we learn.
My "solution" was not what I want, but based on what I know of Poptart, and what they want. And from what I know, Poptart wants a thread that blessedly free of heated arguments. Or at least ones that are more directly on-topic, like whether or not you think Kakara would be aware of such a thing and oppose it on those grounds, or doesn't care about such things.

Panties, Revolution. Big Drawers. Parachute.
This kind of answers my question and a few others I didn't know I needed answered until now. Thanks for your response.
You know I'm surprised nobody so much as mentioned that social pressure is turning something Kakara likes and wants to do, on top of being politically advantageous into this horribly awkward thing. Its a dance equivalent, not a take home to meet parents equivalent.
Kakara loves fighting as much as any Saiyan, but her pacifist values and her high power makes it difficult to get any kind of a decent match without being abusive to someone.

Thread unlocked, there was some internal staff discussion over the recent "end of discussion" post by Orm and we decided to uphold it. If you want to discuss that tangent somewhere else then you're welcome to start a thread about it. If you think anyone broke the rules during the course of the discussion, then report them.
Carry on.
Carry on.

Oh Good... but...
Are you not on leave?
The thread was locked and given over to the Admin staff, and I wanted a swift resolution so that it wouldn't be locked for a week and the quest massively disrupted.

We've had like a dozen different staff in the thread today. Is that ever normal?

Probably when a mod is called but not as a mod, then another mod comes to watch them then reports come and all the mods start to scurry?
It was most likely a cluster fuck in all likelihood

There are quests and other threads with multiple staff as regular participants. Partly depends who you class as staff, mind, but in some threads seeing three or more mods is just 'and there's the regulars'.

Eeh. I think you overestimate the significance of Cetashwayo posting. I've seen him do perfectly ordinary mod actions, such as giving a friendly warning in an RP thread about spaghetti posting. Now, this was in a higher than mod capacity, but having a rank higher than mod posting doesn't, necessarily, mean they are acting as anything other than an ordinary mod, even when it's not as an ordinary user.

This is wrong. Kakara doesn't like fighting and has never liked fighting. Her recent trait evolution just means she doesn't consider it morally wrong to defend yourself. She's still the same girl who evolved rather than got rid of the Gentle trait. She likes winning, so she only likes fighting if she wins.

Ok, so you support the Yes option then?
Because were guaranteed to win

No I don't. Kakara won't automatically like something just because it involves her winning. In this case, she doesn't want to fight this kid for reasons beyond simply not liking fighting in general. Why she wouldn't want to fight has already been stated by others in the thread and I'm not going to get into cyclical argument.

Well that contradicts what you just said but ok.

No it doesn't. If the kid challenged her to a "who can kill the most Saiyans" contest she'd win that too, but it doesn't mean she'd enjoy the activity.

Whats that got to do with a Sparring match though? I mean there are some good arguments you could have said but making a false equivalence between murdering lots of people and a friendly sparring match isn't one.

Again, if it was just a friendly sparring match, Kakara would probably be ok with it, but there's more to this fight than just a fight.

Explicitly untrue - we've overcome our distaste for fighting, to the point where she gets excited seeing good fights, and no longer have a malus for fighting-related actions. Kakara doesn't like hurting people, and has been aware of the difference for several years now.
Or do you actually think we're going to beat this kid into unconsciousness?
