The Four Main Ways To Succeed on the Eso Forums.

1. Post Gifs.

2. After reading someones very detailed and long post describing an idea they've had that they think would go well in the game, reply with the single word 'No' or a gif stating no.

3. Never write long over complicated replies to things as no one can be bothered to read them and then no one will give you 'Agree's', 'Awesomes' and 'Insightfuls'.

4. Make (Insert ZoS Balance and Gameplay lead Here) jokes.

That's pretty much it. Now you know how to win on Eso Forums.

    Partially correct. Clearly, the keys are:

    1. Snark

    2. Salt

    3. Snarking at the Salt of Others

    4. ...and Memes / GIFs

    ;)

    Living vicariously through my characters.

    My Girls:
    "If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"

    Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
    Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
    Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
    Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
    Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
    Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
    Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
    Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
    Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
    Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
    Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
    Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
    Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
    Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
    Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
    Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
    Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"

    (Signature idea shamelessly stolen from Abeille.)

    No.

    You skipped the first part to post a gif.

    (insert "no" gif here.)

    then the rest i didn't read either.
    an anonymous EP nightblade and Templar...
    also; a warden and nightblade of the aldmeri flavour.

    1. I don't post gifs
    2. Depends on the post as some are quite informative
    3. Probably true
    4. I am thankful that the subject header gives away posts like this so I can mostly ignore them

    @Mashille ...being as esoteric, obtuse and overly ambiguous as humanly possible is the real key to success here on the forums...

    for example - here's some super insightful and deep blah blah for ya:
    quote-life-is-not-a-mixture-of-matter-and-energy-but-energy-in-matter-bound-in-such-a-way-alexander-lowen-109-45-14.jpg

    even better:
    quote-since-social-relationships-are-always-ambiguous-since-my-thought-is-only-a-unit-since-my-ludwig-wittgenstein-355414.jpg

    delicious ambiguity works - everyone likes to fill in their own story anyway...

    I'm afraid you've failed here my friend. The thread has reached the point where the Gifs have gotten old so you won't be getting any likes on that post.

    You need to learn the dynamic and changing nature of these threads.

    I gotta be honest @Mashille ...I haven't quite figured out the whole "insightful" thing...my niche seems to be more aligned towards "awesome" and "agreeable"...

    my attempts at being insightful normally just come out as being weird :)
