    Noia: Look two posts up from yours, MsMittens already said that she'll make it sticky.

    zigzag_8336: Haven't you read the FAQs even though you replied to one? This ViktorKaum's post doesn't actually underline the fact that one should never publicly complain about AP assignments oneself has got. Just take 'em like a man. Complaints usually get you more and more negative AntiPoints. About your question (which is in wrong thread/forum), maybe that negger entered a space or two so the reason just looks empty? I didn't even know/remember that empty reasons are prohibited but maybe it is so then.

    VictorKaum:

    I hate to piggyback your thread and I don't want to post thead in a forum that it doesn't belong in...

    While on the plane this weekend I had a little idea that I'd like some feedback on.
    I just wanted it to be in a more visible place that people would see.

    Here is my idea. Let me know if you want me to delete this post that piggybacks your thread.

    Any/all feedback welcome and appreciated!

    Excellent work VK, glad to see it's become a sticky topic. Short and to the point, so perhaps newbies will actually *read* it!

    Don't get me wrong, I like the post but isn't this a contradiction:
    I got inspired to write this by someone (can't remember who) proposing to write the unwritten rules for AntiOnline (AO in short).

    Lol, yes this is a contradiction.

    In fact I expressed two things with that title, first it was a sort of internal language joke, write unwritten things?
    Second it expresses some openness. I mean everyone with (a little) AO experience could have written the unwritten rules, that's why they are open. So in fact even by writing them they remain unwritten cause they are, offcourse, not (that would be enormous pretentious) exact. They remain unwritten cause the implementation is still open. I said: keep in mind the 'feel' on AO and that it can change, like the microcosmos Negative described once. Well in such a microcosmos the unwritten rules are dynamic, and that's the most important idea behind it, that they are dynamic. When you encounter them as static things go wrong.
