Calling all Charm Killing Pro's

[paulgiamatti]

Although it primarily deals with political beliefs, here's a related article just published today: http://www.nature.com/articles/srep39589

And in case anyone else has completely lost the plot like the unfortunate poster above, I haven't been talking about game mechanics for the last six pages. Being able to have sober discourse, even when it comes to elf sim, is far more important than being able to blow your contemptible load over "winning" an argument about the minutiae of its game mechanics. I don't post to "win" arguments. I post to participate in discussion, and if you've been paying attention I haven't once pressed forward with a claim when confronted with counterevidence. There isn't the slightest doubt in my mind that no amount of counterevidence in the world would shake people like Soeki from their beliefs. They're not here to have rational debate; they're here swing their e-penis and derive personal value from being able to swing it the longest.

Tecmos weighs in. Chances of this side of the scale being accurate just had a dumbbell dropped on it.

Will still test later for the inquiring minds.

Don't get me wrong. I have not fornally tested this.

But there's no way I would have been able to tolerate the amount of cleric+enchanter duoing I have in the last few years if each mov were giving me only 1/4 the XP it'd give me if I killed it solo with a nuke.

Hats off for being willing to do a test to prove things. Unfortunately you probably won't change minds of anyone.

IIRC I proved that charmed pets wear two rings instead of just one once, giving 55 HP rings to a lvl 1 mob to show its max HP increased by 110 not 55. Screenshots, math, etc. Some other 60 chanter refused to believe what I was demonstrating. Catherine I think?

Lost the plot? This isn't RNF. I'm still taking about the original topic. What the fuck are you talking about?

Again, someone who can't handle culpability won't be able to prove anything. Whether he's right and whether his results are accurate is completely beside the point - no sane person who cares about these things will be able to trust him, and for very good reason. He isn't a rational actor, as made abundantly clear in this thread, therefore his results aren't worth anyone's time of day.

And from the sound of it, you might be in the same boat.

You don't seem so rational yourself

[paulgiamatti]

Yes, to someone with no concept of rationality that would indeed be the case.

Right, because we're obviously all the irrational ones here. Not you with your six pages of forum posts arguing about how to argue about an elf sim. In fact, in one of your posts, you yourself said something along the lines of how you haven't been addressing the topic for some time now. That sounds less then rational to me.

[paulgiamatti]

Not quite as irrational as the person who thinks when someone refers to six pages of a thread, that they themselves authored every post in those six pages.

I mean, do I really need to give you guys a course in reasoning by analogy? Like, topic is to setting as plot is to discussion at hand? Please at least reassure me that I can post on the P99 message boards at more than an elementary school reading level.

Why in the name of dear lord baby Jesus are you still talking?

Let's straighten a few things out for you big guy.

Thread post #1: I asked two questions. The short versions are
1) How many people must be in a group to negate pet exp penalties if this is even a thing?
2) Regarding damage, is there a difference between doing 1 pt or no pts of dmg when calculating how much exp the pet takes?

Your first response, was to Expediency citing that someone in the group needs to do player dealt direct damage for exp.


Your next response was to Dreenk317, reinforcing your argument that players must deal damage to get exp.


My response to you beginning to dump misinformation and nonsense into my thread where I'm seeking factual answers:


Politely debunked your corpse poofing fuckery, redirected the thread to the original questions that I asked in OP, and asked you to please stop guessing. Clearly it was a guess, because had you actually done it, like I have and literally every other person in this thread who contributed had, you'd know there's an exp messages and corpses certainly do not "poof." Blatant asshattery going on here.

Trollhide also corrected you.

Instead of "You know what, that's right, maybe I forgot or it was different on live, you definitely get an exp message and lootable corpse when the pet does all the damage," you choose to backpedal and attempt a jedi mind trick to alter the questions asked:


Tuurin has also politely corrected your original shit-for-brains post about corpse poofery. He even called you mate, isn't that nice?

This is me again, attempting to course correct from you continuing to throw the thread into a tangent.


At this point, you are officially butt-hurt.


Out of courtesy, I did reread your original post. It's still idiotic. Now you've started with the name calling, because you feel the tears swelling up.

I poke you back, with some fire, because I don't particularly appreciate being called a dick for trying to keep my own god damn thread on track.

Your reply:


Again, attempting to reinforce your original argument. Which is the antithesis of accurate (I know SAT words too bitch, I just don't need to plaster them all over a message board in an attempt to sound smart to cover up for my Freudian slip of stupidity).

A few more folks make some posts. Outside of your tummy sticks partner, nobody agrees with or appreciates the nonsense oozing out of the two of you. In contrast, I know NONE of the people that were posting in opposition to you. I don't have to link arms with my fay gate ass pals to try and salvage my e-reputation, cuz quite honestly I could give a fuck what you or anyone else on here thinks about me <3



To quote one of my favorite movies, "Uhhhh, yer chart says yer shit's fucked up... and... you talk like a fag... soooo..." -Dr. Lexus.

The REST of us WERE having a discussion. If you actually read anything besides the shit that set your panties on fire, you'd see that. There wasn't a dick swinging contest, there was a "You're wrong, stop," directive sent your way. I'm wearing a blue tie. You can argue that my tie is red until you're blue in the face (get it?), but it's still not red. This is not mechanics nor objective nor philosophical/religious/whatever other irrelevant word you'd like to slap in there to sound fancy.

The tie is blue. You're a moron.

More back and forth.


Maybe he'll go away? Hooray!

Nope, here we go again. Has to chime back in multiple pages later.


I'm not even going to pick this one apart, because I'm exhausted from this much so far. The entire point of the thread was to get the right answer. When the right answer was not able to be provided (we have a probable answer, technically still unconfirmed) I volunteered to take the suggestion of another contributor and go figure it out. Which will be done, regardless of your nonsense.

You have gotten better at TryHard (200). Seriously. Masking your moronic commentary with moar SAT words you're probably googling? More syllables doesn't make you sound more intelligent.

We'll wrap it up with this:


You're giving yourself far, FAR too much credit.

I'll put it to you like this.

If you were to hit the lottery

Or die in a horrific car accident

Right now

Nobody would care. With exception of your pillow pal, and that's a maybe.

You are not important. You are not a unique snowflake. Nobody cares. Since I can't tell you to quit while you're ahead again based on the ginormous sized hole you've dug yourself, just stahp.

We have tons of actual input and contributions, so thank you to everyone else. We seem to have arrived at just needing to test it for those of us who want to know, which I've already volunteered to do. It should be done tonight assuming I can get around to logging in.
