Just for clarification, they also prematurely launched the original draft in an unfinished state when it had 5 hats, 8 bombs. They never engaged with people and flat-out ignored their suggestions. It seemed like they only want to get the trope out as fast as possible, regardless of the rules.

Right, I forgot about that part.

Why do we have Sandbox.Our Kobolds Are Different? It was originally created by Berrenta in January 2020, so I'm sure there's a reason, but it seems odd not to plop that information in a TLP draft in the first place.

Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty

I would guess someone reached out and asked for it to be salvaged so they weren't starting from scratch.

Has Zim actually done...anything to the draft? Add examples? Reword a description? They seem awfully possessive of a prospective trope that wasn't even theirs to begin with.

Nope, and they seem to think that a handful of bombs means the trope absolutely cannot be launched, ignoring that the bombs are because of their refusal to fix or change anything, and that plenty of people are giving examples...

Relevant new thread is relevant.

They're really trying to circumvent this whole... "listen to people and do the TLP stuff properly" thing...
