Giving Toneri a Second Chance (Obito Style)

Not open for further replies.
This is untrue, and a childish accusation.

I don't know why hostility is the modus operandi for your debating style, but consider this an official warning to stop. You're a grown up, people are going to disagree with you sometimes, and that is not an excuse to mock them, sarcastically dismiss them, make weird accusations, et cetera.
I disagree with your assessment, and I'd say the same back to you, but I'll cease responding to you to avoid this useless back and forth we have cluttering the thread.
 
Is a very adamant notion of someone attempting to wank a calc
It is, but what he said wasn't about this calc, but his relationship with Naruto on the site in general, which I know literally nothing about. I am pointing out that we are literally coming up with even more ad-hoc headcanon to smooth over the roadbumps with the current ad-hoc headcanon being written to legitimize this calculation. That warrants pretty serious consideration.

Sir, the calc is for Naruto, so by extension this implies he wants to wank the verse

And rather than focusing on motives, it'd be best to actually focus on the argument itself

No, it doesn't. I'm not extrapolating his stance towards this calculation to an attitude about the verse at large.

What I said wasn't an accusation of motive, but function. The alleged off-panel events and character motivations imagined therewith literally serve the purpose of legitimizing a calculation.

It doesn't exactly contribute to the discussion though, any way you slice it, and it comes off as such regardless...

Either way, it's best to leave this be, I just find this very distasteful tbh

It does, though. It's pretty significant that we are writing even more things into the movie to validate this.

There's nothing distasteful about it, and I really don't see why this back and forth on the matter was necessary.
 
It just doesn't very reasonable that the most likely explanation is something we don't see happening. No sign of Toneri reacting to the Moon's drifting apart, no sign of the Tenseigan being activated to bring them together, no sign of the Moon halves in motion...
His plan was to throw the moon at earth not one part of it

The moon started moving the moment his tenseigan became active and didn't stop until he was defeated

There's no need to show that the tenseigan was activated post GWRE when it has always been active
 
  1. We don't see the split fully closed. If he brought it together, wouldn't logic deduce that he'd pull it together instead of holding them in the air?
  2. We see it split, move apart, and stay apart. We see the moon halves initial distance larger than the later instance, yet we don't see it coming back together and shortening the distance? If "inconsistent size" was countered by "it was moving together", then why wouldn't it move together later?
This was after Toneri was defeated
No noticeable split from that distance
 
Cash you move me back to the Disagree list?

Also, i know that the topic if this thread is concerned with a calc, but as it is still primarily a revision thread, I believe that the votes of the Calc Group Members shouldn't be technically counted in the OP. This isn't a case where we're comparing two different calcs.

I admit I may be wrong about this, but just wanted to point that out.

given that i haven't formally made a serious reply to this thread, this will be my one and only contribution, i wont respond after this or engage with the thread further. I'm not keen on Naruto' CRTs in general let alone one like this but here it is.

The arguments that we shouldn't use this because it's "head canon" is extremely disingenuous.

we can all agree the distance between the wide shot and close up shot are vastly different. but there's absolutely nothing wrong with using the information within a text to deduce a conclusion. literally this is the building blocks for some of the most widely accepted models in our world let alone a fictional stories. even more egregiously is that this kind of argument spits in the face of or own calculations which even the most simple versions require us to make assumptions. in which case you can go ahead and throw all that away if you want.

This is even more hilarious when the argument of inconsistency inherently relies on presuming a strict contradiction in causation, the same causation these preponements suggest we cannot know. if you cannot qualify what happens between when the moon is cut and when we later see the gap then you dont to have the luxury of saying it's inconsistent. saying nothing happened isn't a better qualifier than saying something happened.

On top of that i still think using a secondary scene where the split isn't the focus and putting that on the same degree of importance as when the narrative and feat do take precedence is bizarre, its even weirder because there's no sense of discussion between which of two is more consistent within the narrative its just assumed the later is more important or positions are taken that seems to be neutral "they both inconsistent thus we shouldn't use it" which isn't neutral btw because that position inherently requires you to presume both scenes are of equal importance.

There's also the fact that the novelization supports the split being large enough to see from earth, and the novelization is literally written by the same person who wrote the screenplay of the movie, so there's no discussion to be had in terms of conflict of intention.

If you dont want to agree with OP's conclusion then thats fine, but you dont get to stand on a soapbox and act afsif the opposition is unreasonable

You're correct as far as our current discussion rules are concerned:

In order to ensure that all revisions are thoroughly reviewed and approved, it is necessary for a minimum of two staff members to sign off on any proposed changes. The concluding evaluations must be handled by Thread Moderators, Administrators, and Bureaucrats, who should make an effort to base their evaluations on valid arguments, not personal opinions.

This whole discussion is on the validity of a calc so no, I’d actually say the CGMs are most needed here

Not the accuracy of a calc, though. The actual calculation is not in dispute, it is whether or not it can be applied to the profile.

This is just entirely wrong. The thread is to determine the validity of the 5-C+ calc (specifically the split of the moon). Similar threads have required CGM input, and this is no different
 
.....

Whu....

Our entire debate has been on the validity of the calc itself, not if it's applicable to the profiles or not....
Pardon? No. I'm not disputing how the calc was done, the actual measurement of the scan in question or the scaling used to reach the conclusion. I have no quarrel with how the calculation was performed on that scan.

The debate is on whether the width of the split is valid, and yes, you have very much taken issue with that. That is a very calculation-focused thing. So yes, the opinions of CGMs are important here.
 
This thread was made to discuss precisely the cornerstone assumption of the calc itself. The split size. It is most certainly about the calc. The arguments I’m making for using the wider split size involve the narrative for sure but the underlying basis is 100% about the baseline calc assumption.

"Valid" is muddying the waters here. I am not objecting to how the 61km number was reached or how the calc was done, but whether it should be applied. It's a valid calc, it's just dependent upon an inconsistent scan, and therefore shouldn't be applied.

A problem of “inconsistent visuals” is very much a calc thing, I’m literally in another thread about such a thing and it’s very much a calc thread.

I don’t think I should have to continuously stress that this will continue to count CGM votes. No ways about it

You bring up a good point I should have made this a CGT rather than a CRT since I’m trying to reinstate a calc on the Naruto verse page. But hindsight is 2023 or sumn like that.

Whether the calculation is a valid calculation is one topic.

Whether the calculation should be applied to the profiles / the verse page is another topic.

The Calc Group Members are to address the first topic, not the second. And unless I'm mistaken the focus of this thread is going to be the second topic.
 
There’s no need. You’re the one going against how things are handled by wanting a thread about a calc to not count CGM votes. If you have an issue with how things really should be, then I’ll extend that offer to you
I can't speak to this vaguer notion of "how things are handled" but I can speak to the actual rules on the wiki, which are public knowledge.

Better yet, just shift the entire thread to Calc Group Discussion threads. Honestly should've been a CGM Discussion thread to begin with.
You would still have to make a CRT after the CGM consensus is made.

Precisely. I have no issues with the validity of the calculation, I just don't think it should be applied. That was AKM's point as well.

Damage, this premise is very similar to the MHA Star and Stripe calc thread you made: a problem with a calc via inconsistent visuals.

This is very much a CGM job

Yeah, which includes the fact that calc based threads like this are CGM territory

Sure, but that was specifically a Calc Group Member thread where I sought input from Calc Group Members.

I'm not disputing the Calc Group Members getting involved with the 1st topic. It's it all being handled as a Content Revision thread I disagreed with.
 
As an aside:

@Mr._Bambu @Wokistan You guys both agreed with the initial revision that this thread is attempting to reverse. It'd be helpful if you indicated whether you feel the same way or changed your mind.

Mr. Bambu does not want to get involved with HST threads as far as I'm aware, so best not to tag them.
 
And this thread has a very similar basis, so if you’re suddenly not seeking out CGM input, that comes off as incredibly dubious
I added a second part to that post:

Fair, though this was his comment on the first thread:

Because AKM asked me to, I'm going to briefly break my rule about speaking on HST threads. This ain't happening again.

I agree with the OP. I don't care that it was shut down previously. If the split is constantly shown to be far smaller than 61 km (such as being small enough for individuals to carry on a conversation across it), then it shouldn't be considered 61 km based on some massive outward view. We can get a much more exact measurement in the micro than the macro, that's always the case.

Downgrade away.
