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.
