I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

Heh, that would be interesting idea to see. Not just Pinkie <-> Rarity, but any kind of body mix up with the mane 6.

Anywho, I'm up, and kinda not in the best mood. Harsh weather... college is still open, and a test to take today...

Twitch has been wandering around Vermillion City for over 40 minutes without healing. If they die and end up back in Johto I will laugh so hard.

@Story: Depends if the Four-Point Scale is in effect.

@Irish: Pinkie is going to be in trouble when the brain swap gets corrected.

Four-Point Scale is in effect. I'm not supposed to ever let my score drop as low as four.

@Dark: Many thanks. Something I can definitely say I approve of in terms of soundtracks. (Really, preferred music would be under classical, country, and videogame soundtracks, but the one genre to avoid is that cacophoniously loud rock music (No offense to anyone who likes it.))

That... makes no sense. I'm assuming this is similar to those teacher evaluations I have to do at the end of each semester, in which case a 4 is still good, while a 5 is reserved for those one-in-a-million cases they make inspirational movies out of. Really, it's like you're getting in trouble for your students saying that you're good at your job, simply because they're not saying you're the best teacher they ever had.

Seraphem Since: Oct, 2009
#57013: Mar 12th 2014 at 6:58:15 AM

That... is fucking bullshit. Why even HAVE 1-5 in that case? Just give it a straight yes/no

And yeh not quite as annoying or, threatening as yours but, my store doe the same thing for it customer satisfaction surveys. Our % is ONLY what % of customers give us a 5/5. And we all get bitched out whenever that % drops.

[up]No more like getting in trouble for his work using a fucked up system that doesn't actually measure what it asks, and isn't explained well enough, leading to people giving the 'wrong' answer when they think it's right, and fucking him over.

I guess you could try to explain the system to the students; it sounds like they believe that a 4/5 is good and don't understand that it implies that you're doing a bad job.

That's what you'd assume for a 1-5 scale, yes.

Ah, so you're familiar with what I have to deal with.

EDIT:[up]The students are supposed to know this. Most of the teachers score higher than me.

Well given the comments and the rating, seems a lot of them are simply going with 3 being "Perfectly fine and average" Then the few random 1's from trolls or students you probably pissed off somehow by not letting them do what they wanted.

You'd think the system would account for that, but nope.

Also, is it weird that I kinda want to see an episode where Twilight gets a less than steller (but still not bad) performance review from someone and freaks out over it? I mean, I know that logically her character has matured to the point where she would be able to handle it, but still.
