Welcome to Gaia! ::

It certainly made me laugh.

More because it was an algebra joke than because it was actually funny.

Algebra isn't supposed to make people laugh.


It certainly blocked that face-hit well enough.


It's no different than if you brought a sword in with an 8" blade and four foot handle... that could detach a foot off the handle and make it an 8" blade with a 1 foot handle and then a 3 foot stick.

But that really makes no sense at all to me. He just seemed to be able to just slip the thing on and off like magic. If it was really attached, it'd be screwed on or something. If it just slid off easily than it would have gone flying the first time he thrust the spear. And if it had one of those 'depress the button and it will slide off' things like any cheap, plastic piece of s**t, it probably would break really easily and could never be a 'main' character weapon due to that.

No sense at all.

Fight's been over for a while.

None.

I don't know why I should get DQ'ed. I got him into a situation where he couldn't avoid a neck stab, yet he continues to fool around by not taking this so seriously. I was going to call it on him, but I decided to just go with it and use evidence to back him into a corner of logic instead of trying to increase arguments any longer. I would ask for you to do something about it, but it seems like you're already frustrated, and possibly everyone else, at this long-going match.

All I have to say is, I fought the wrong person in terms of a smooth-going match.

You took 26 hours to reply to my last post. By any rights that's a DQ by the rules.

As it falls on me to advance, I choose to forfeit on grounds of that match being a sin against god. Thusly, Shouyin and Reiko for the finals.


I hadn't taken it seriously from the start. It declined from there when I realized I was dealing with a know-it-all who doesn't actually know anything.

Didn't care for your attitude, so I stopped caring about your feelings.

But hey, nothing to complain about, right? I let you have your way with those last few posts, didn't argue a thing other than repeatedly asking "DID MY ATTACK HIT?" and getting nothing back in reply.

Of course, I can't make a real post response until I know whether my attack hits or not. Saying 'delayed' doesn't tell me anything. Nor does ignoring the issue by saying "you died before it happened" when I quite clearly did not.

...using the very same grounds you established early on in the fight. "It doesn't happen because I don't really care to have it happen." Except with, y'know... logic and reason behind it. Timing is everything, after all, and you 'd been 2-3 chancing your defenses for the whole fight.

I just decided to call you on it.


I can see that ending well for you.

Yeah, since the fight's over my earlier statement about sarcasm doesn't stand anymore.


More or less. It's against my religion to let things slide when someone tries to bring in detail to make up for lack of skill, but then messes up the detail something ungodly like not even knowing that he was using a spear when he had 'halberd' listed in his entrance profile.

It's against my religion. To quote one of the commandments:






...convert and ye may yet be saved.

There is no lesson more deserving to be learned.

That fight hurts me inside. Thank god it's over.
