Last post Caedus.

I am a teacher and one of the things I teach is vocabulary to students that do not have great vocabularies at the moment. We always engage our vocabulary with lots of other ways of using the word because a mere definition is not going to help since they, most likely, do not understand the words in the definition.

Here are some definitions of the word Opinion

a belief not based on absolute certainty or positive knowledge but on what seems true, valid, or probable to one's own mind; judgment


judgment or belief not founded on certainty or proof


Your opinion about something is what you think or believe about it.


a view, judgment, or appraisal formed in the mind about a particular matter


belief stronger than impression and less strong than positive knowledge


Now lets look at some synonyms and antonyms

Synonyms:

belief, judgment, notion, conclusion, feeling, estimation

Antonyms:

Fact, Truth, Reality


Opinions do not have facts.
Yaddle has facts. She had a life and she did certain things in that life. She is bound by her epic deeds and anything she did not do becomes an opinion or a guess. Designs have to be based on proof enough from the character to do what they are able to do in the game.

She did not know Shien style and she did not teach or help others know shien style (this is not an opinion). She did use a lightsaber but was more inclined to use the force (fact), her padawans where force user types as well so it is, at the very least, odd that her CE gives out Lightsaber assault. (it is a very large abstraction to truth to give her a CE granting lightsaber assault b/c we KNOW it is odd. We know it is odd because she was a force instructor and her padawans that we know of were force types. There can still be a small argument that since she was a jedi master and knew how to use a lightsaber and had to have taught her padawans how to use one that she could grant assault so it is not fact that that is wrong, just unreasonable, which is almost as bad since all the proof points a different picture).


Opinions are when facts are not present or knowledge is not present. Best case scenario is to use facts and proof to base opinions off of when you have to make an opinion or an abstraction when turning an event or action into an ability or function in the game. When it is done corrcetly you get something really flavorful and fun.

I'm not familiar with Yaddle, what styles did she know?
