[QUOTE="Cyclone_Joker, post: 6182215, member: 6750006"] Okay. I now officially rule that nobody can play anything with intelligence above three and any attack action that has an average damage different from 11.5 is prohibitted. Is that right? Does the system agree with that sort of play? Of course not. Your line of reasoning is inane. Oh, a "no u." Nice try, but it isn't gonna fly with me. Because it doesn't seem like it'll make a difference. Would you try to explain differential calculus to someone still learning basic geometry? Given I was being actively insulted there, I really have trouble caring. Funny, you were the only one to go anywhere near it. Right now? Calling out your crap for what it is. How about leave what's correct with proof out for observers to see, at least once I've determined certain other posters are inherently unreasonable. Because there comes a point when a statement is so downright wrong on such a fundamental level that any other type of response is insufficient. It's especially useful because it does a good job of highlighting exactly why it's wrong without giving an absurd argument the dignity of being taken seriously Or I just feel like it. Take your pick. [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law"]Poe's Law[/URL] Nonsense! You are obviously a genius beyond the ability of the English language to describe! Of course such minor things like "reason" fall before your brilliance! You obviously need no such minor thing to be inherently right! Why do you think sarcasm takes any effort at all? Also, as I've stated, you are being unreasonable. I have made a case, supported by facts and completely sound. You have done nothing to counter it beyond "Nuh-uh!" and "ROOL ZERO, MAN!" Not really, at least not mechanically. And I've already established that additional stuff is unnecessary to reach levels of damage he finds problematic. It doesn't matter. The game doesn't support what he's trying. As I've proven an NPC with one simple feat that any barbarian can expect to get in core is more than capable of reaching that damage, and can do more than one attack. His expectation and desires for the system don't match up with the system. Then you're wrong. The system simply does not work the way he wants it to work. Behold, the grand genius of Dwimmer! Let all bow before his brilliance! Making false claims using fabricated quotes is truly the shining pinnacle of a well-formed argument! Let his inherent rightness lead the way! I have done no such thing. I have used nothing but facts and reason to prove my case and you have done nothing but ignore it or just dismiss it out of hand because I'm obviously engaged in some "pissing contest" or am out to prove that anyone who goes against the "One True Way" is "stupid." It's bullcrap, and I will call you on it every time. Now either refute my argument or concede. This has grown tiresome. Then it's a shame how you're the only one arguing that. Could have fooled me. >Objecting to supposed antagonism >Entered the thread by dismissing those he disagrees with by claiming they're engaged in a massive pissing contest >[URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3fVj8A-K8E"]...[/URL] [/QUOTE]
