[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 8102969, member: 2525"] A bit harsh Flamestrike. I think what he's trying to do IS fun. And I don't think he's doing it just to "showcase how good" he is. This thread reads to me like a sports thread, like on a basketball forum. Sure, he's posting with some bravado, but that's part of the fun. He probably expects people to post back with a similar tone. It's just trash talking as people spar back and forth to try and outdo each other. Which is why I said it was kinda boring and weak when he decided to back off from the give and take of the play and retroactively changed his actions. That was kinda like cheating. And given the tone he set, I thought he'd appreciate my calling him out in the same tone. His response is essentially "Hey man it's not my fault my opponent sucks at this so much I can re-run the scenario instantly multiple times and still kick his butt". Which I think is not what happened, but it's a response in line with the rest of the feel of this thread. And pretty common for sports threads to not admit he messed up but try and redirect it back on the opponent. Anyway, I was enjoying the thread up until it went off the rails with this retroactive change in actions stuff. Maybe you should hit him with a classic Flamestrike! :) [/QUOTE]
