End of FFXI

[Ryko]

It clouds judgment. Caring introduces a human element, you can't act like that doesnt fuck things up the second youre forced to side with or ignore it.

[AkashiXI]

and a abstract hoe check

[Charismatic]

Having emotions does not necessarily make you weak, being unable to properly deal with them does.
You sound like a weak man, unfit to be king.

Being invested interests of the very people who allow you to be king is a wise decision.
Without his subjects, a king is just a man.

Same thing, different words... you're a moron.

[Ryko]

And a situation will come up where youre forced to decide against yourself, shit always happens. If you care youre more prone to not doing it when it counts though.

[Charismatic]

Unable to deal... weakness.
Kindness is not inherently weakness.

[Ryko]

Weakness? No, unnecessary obstacle when your goal should be doing the role and nothing else? Absolutely.

[Ryko]

Then people are left to speculate how much you really care etc and shit just gets mucky. King stays king, nigga hires a dr. phil if people wanna talk bout that personal shit.

You act as if this same scenario wouldn't play out regardless... how short-sighted.

[Charismatic]

The advantage you have as the king that was always there for the people is that they remember all of the times you were there and not all of the times you sent someone there.

[Kyo]

kings always take all the food.

[Charismatic]

kings always take all the food.

Those kings die by the hands of the people.

[Ryko]

Nah, eventually it blurs and they look at it as just another part of the job. It matters when youre developing yourself but later on hire a babysitter, fuck that.

[Howard Roark]

It sometimes comforts me to know that I stopped playing the game 2 years ago and I'm still king.

Nah going out as king means going out on your terms. Dont let that dying on the toilet elvis bullshit fool you.

And seriously what kind of self respecting king would still check in from time to time on a FF site after his reign was over?

safe to assume you're not self respecting?

[Ryko]

That's a pretty safe bet, but youre not supposed to take the obvious bait howie.

[Howard Roark]

also why is it that ryko is always on one side or the other of the longest, most tedious, most boring and relentlessly argumentative and nitpicky conversations?

makes me wish he'd post more brawl vids or bizarre comic quotes

[Ryko]

It's a gift.

[Howard Roark]

I just found it odd that the dripping irony (so sopping it had to be intentional but I don't get the motivation so...) was never addressed


like some sort of goofy oversized double edge sword prop used in a play of the absurd

[Howard Roark]

It's a gift.

you're just too good at arguing and rhetoric, the sheer attention to detail and speed of response and thoroughness of analysis leaves a reader like me too overwhelemed to go through all that crap (sorry but it's true) to fact check or see if what you're saying is relevant or accurate


I'd never want to get drawn into an argument with you -- that's all I can think about when I see a garbage like that argument between you and Ksandra

[Ryko]

I dont really need motivation for being self-deprecating

Well to be fair she is a terrible mod.
