I think this is a contender. It hasn't even really derailed completely.

It would be easier if I wanted to wear things that did not benefit SMN functionality in any way, such as the RSE hands and feet. Those are too useful to a SMN to swap for the RSE. It took a long time meriting (you know how hard it is to get a plain old normal party with a normal SMN), it took a bunch of limbus runs for the Loq. earring, a year to get all the AF2, blah blah blah. So, its not that easy if you want to have the other stats that matter to a SMN, and not just MP.Originally Posted by balthy
I take insults as insults, because that's what they are. There is a limited amount of ways to convey tone in pure text.Originally Posted by Lordwafik

your other stats being str for melee? or dex and agi?Originally Posted by Tahngarthor
This could of ended a lot sooner if you could make rebuttals without using words like "retarded" and "unintelligent" and "lolmeleesmn". If you stripped off the crap, It would have been over a long time ago. A big chunk of this posting is pissing at your flames.
This does not reflect typical be havior on a typical day in the game. The screenshoted chat longs by ES were in reactoin to the BS going on here.I can safely say that we think slightly higher of eachother in the game than on this forum.
This forum is is just a game, first person to post LAWL WIN wins.
Stats like Perpetuation cost -, BP cooldown -, avatar accuracy +, etc. etc etc. Yes, I can see the sarcasm this time.Originally Posted by balthy
Common sense vs DumbOriginally Posted by Tahngarthor
you fall into the latter.
Yes this is an insult. I should not have said 7MP, because it seems more like your IQ is 7.
Actually, alot of these comments would not have been made if you had not been lying, you have yourself to blame.Originally Posted by Tahngarthor
Seems like, perhaps. Truly? no. You should have left out the crap, then this would have been less frustrating for me, less "dumb" and bla bla bla to you, and less entertaining to everyone.Originally Posted by Lordwafik
I err on the side of serious when I can't tell. And I will get flamed up the yinyang for saying this, but I have a social disability that makes it difficult for me to read into what people say, to tell if it's sarcasm or not, or to tell what they really mean if they're not saying what they mean, or whatever. So yeah, I have a hard time dealing with people. It's not about intelligence. (People with an IQ of "7" [yes I know you exaggerated] dont participate in the excel program when they're in grade school, and they dont go to college. I've done both. So enough shit about my IQ.)
Now you're all going to give a new reason to call me retarded, because I have a disability, but I had to say it anyway. At least most of the people I play with in the game understand why I take a lot of things too seriously, and are respectful about it.
Did you mean accelerated? like accel? or excel?Originally Posted by Tahngarthor
The problem is that some of us have actually THOUGHT about your claims, and come up with paradoxes -- like how you can consistently BP without a credible source of MP, and how you justify having anywhere close to 1.0 pDIF with only 292 attack.
And you simply disregard those arguments because you're sick of them. Well I can guess why you're sick of them, it's because you simply don't have any defense for them.
the "EXCEL program", AKA "Gifted and talented". Most of it I displayed with my computer capability back in the days when macintosh LC IIIs were the hot new thing.Originally Posted by balthy
I do have a defense for them. However- I do not mean to imply that I have 100% perfect MP management. I did have to stop and rest after a while (but at that point the chain had broken because there were other parties around, so it was no big deal.)Originally Posted by aurik
I'm not just pulling it out of a hat, and perhaps I did exaggerate slightly. I really dont want to discuss this part much more though. I've already lost, and you will have a counterargument ready anyway as well. You won, congratulations.
I'm guilty of typing faster than I think, which is another reason I end up with a lot of editing- I type something then realize soon after I should ahve said it differently, etc. etc.
While I'm not blatantly lying about anything except abandoning the thread, I have made some things out to be a slightly better than they are. It was a stupid move, I backed into a corner, and lost. Melee in a party can be at best amusing and pretty gimp. I just wanted to put the "you'll do 2 dmg every hit" exaggerated crap to rest. Ok? I concede.
why no posting?
It all makes sense now.Originally Posted by Tahngarthor
You are one of those "Special" people.
I think he should parse his melee on say, timmy or jormy, im sure its up to par
Wow, took a little nap and come back to +9 pages...Originally Posted by Tahngarthor
He is right, I do think higher of him than this thread shows, however, I do believe Claustrum is absolutely retarded and smn meleeing is stupid. When I get my Mandau if I have extra gil to throw around I'm not going to do shield for my pld, I'll most likely help a friend of mine upgrade their relic. Would be a lot more useful if someone with spare gil helps their friend out, imo.
Also, he is slowing down a friendly rivalry I have with another thf on the server, so he is helping me a bit with his upgrading :D
I'm glad you admit to yourself that you're a liar.Originally Posted by Tahngarthor
Exaggeration is not the same as lying. I am not a compulsive liar. I did make things seem better than they were. But I really did have those parties, and they really didn't go badly. Was it because I was in them, meleeing? Fuck no, I'll admit that. But it wasnt bad enough to get me kicked out, So that's something.Originally Posted by Lordwafik
