alright now that I got your fucking attention

does anyone actually fucking play cricket like what the fuck why are there so many fucking books on this dumbass sport?

the bat is a cross between a boating oar and a sex toy

not at all ideal for knocking over mailboxes in a satisfying fucking manner

not that baseball's that fucking great either tbh like all sports are kind of shit change my mind

don't suppose any of you have ever read a book on crickets the fucking bug not the fucking bat and ball game

that isn't like

the very quiet cricket?

god fucking knows cricket ain't quiet

ps Imelda is the enemy by design only. poor woman has to deal with so fucking much as this fucking floor's RA we're a plethora of asses so go easy on her when it comes to the rebellion ok?

there's a ban??? (⊙_⊙)

Is it a REAL ban or a don't play loud music in common rooms ban?

un: i.rivera

[no_dejare_de_quererte]

You don't even live on this floor.

[hippocarnival]

what if i visit?

un: weaseling

[deuteranope]

I also want to hear this answer

un: i.rivera

[no_dejare_de_quererte]

Have you heard the phrase When In Rome?

[hippocarnival]

yeah

so I'm asking to understand ┐(‘～` )┌ what if it's in someone's personal room? what if it's headphones?

[no_dejare_de_quererte]

If you are on this floor, you will abide by the rules. If I hear any music, I am shutting it down. Period.

[hippocarnival]

that's kind of controlling, isn't it?

[He'd completely understand if it was a politeness thing, but this doesn't sound like a politeness thing.]

to take that away in people's personal spaces I mean.

Unfortunately, sound does not abide by "personal spaces". It easily goes through walls, and it's a nuisance to other students who are trying to study.

[hippocarnival]

but these walls are WAY better about keeping sound in! is your power superhearing (°ロ°) !

did the students decide this rule? σ(￣、￣〃)

[no_dejare_de_quererte]

No, I decided them. That's part of my job as the RA of this floor.

[hippocarnival]

maybe... but this doesn't sound like a fair way to use your power

if your floor didn't ask for this rule and are arguing it and there's no compromising doesn't that mean the rule is really just for your sake?

[no_dejare_de_quererte]

And if it is? Don't I deserve some peace and quiet in my own living space as well?

If another student had a problem with snakes, I would ban those too. We live here, and as such, we should be able to live with peace of mind. If any of my students have a problem with that, they're free to apply for a room change.

[hippocarnival]

i don't mean that you don't. but you should be honest about your reasons if it's really just for you

[There's more about that that doesn't quite sit with him, which isn't even about the music specifically. He can't combat that. But the absolutism...]

what if someone on your floor had a problem with lycanthropes? would you ban them too? a lycan that's a snake?

[no_dejare_de_quererte]

I've never been dishonest about my reasons. But it would seem that some reasons are more valid than others among certain students, despite all of my reasons being applicable.

And to answer your other question... If a student had a problem with lycanthropes, and a lycan was also living on my floor; then I would request that one of the two be moved. It wouldn't be fair to put either student in a situation like that if it can be easily avoided.

[hippocarnival]

you'd actually talk to them about that, or you'd just make one of them move?

this place is full of a lot of different people, and we're all weird to each other (or just weird (⌒_⌒;)) so we have to learn to live with each other. maybe some reasons are more serious than others, but if we're here then we can't just find ways to control each other for our own comfort. everyone has to compromise!

also i don't think other people's rooms count as your living space? Σ(°ロ°)

[no_dejare_de_quererte]

I agree that everyone has to compromise, but everyone should feel comfortable in the place that they're living. If there are problems that aren't easily resolved, that's not a healthy living situation.

Would you rather have one student or the other avoiding coming home to their own bed for fear of running into the other in the hall or the common room? Not everyone responds well to being thrown in with their discomforts and told to simply deal with it. Things are often much more complicated than that.

[hippocarnival]

i wasn't thinking of being thrown in with their discomforts as compromising at all. (￣～￣;) isn't the point of that both sides giving a little so they can take a little?

are you afraid of running into music?

[no_dejare_de_quererte]

How is either student supposed to give and take if they're forced by the school to be neighbors?

Also, isn't that a personal thing to ask someone?

[hippocarnival]

maybe

you have to have really strong feelings about it if you want to keep it off a whole floor, right? ┐(￣～￣)┌ I don't think a normal noise rule extends to other people's privacy, like rooms

[no_dejare_de_quererte]

If you're going to insist on ignoring the fact that sound travels, including through walls, then there's no point in continuing this conversation.

The rules are the rules. If you don't like them, just don't come upstairs.

[deuteranope]

like a real WHOLE ASS ban

if you're on lumi3 anyway

[hippocarnival]

(｡•́︿•̀｡) maybe you can request to move to another floor? there's lots of space on floor 2! our only rule is not to hurt other people

[deuteranope]

nah this rule is more fun to break than that one.
