We haven't gotten a clear answer on this one either. Someone mentioned earlier proposing that what you're asking would be accurate. 50% of remaining HP vs total HP.

I'm skeptical on that, so I plan to check it as well. Someone get me a lab coat, I want to feel smert.

Damage dealt is remembered by the npc. If you're an necro and you do 95% damage, then FD and wipe the mobs aggro and the pet does the rest then the pet takes 50% exp.

Same with charm.

so your assuming things from live apply to this home made server?

Yes I've done a lot of cross checking. The majority of things are the same as live. That's the whole point of P1999 after all.

Yeah no sane person who cares about objectivity and accuracy in a million years is going to accept testing results from someone as susceptible to emotional appeal and confirmation bias as this idiot. This thread is obviously just an exercise in masturbatory narcissism - he doesn't actually care about things like "data" and "facts", he just wanted to play dress-up as an intellectually superior polymath who brow-beats and condescends to everyone who doesn't immediately agree with and cater to his obviously more advanced knowledge of all things elf sim related.

Someone so fragile and incapable of culpability would be an absolute nightmare to deal with in the real world - imagine trying to confront this guy about a minor mistake he made somewhere along the line. When you try to engage with someone in friendly conversation and you're immediately met with, and I quote, "Quit while you're ahead," there's really nothing else to discuss. At that point everything else that comes out of him is at best highly suspect if not a complete fabrication of his own reality.

Still the truest thing anyone will read in this thread.

This thread reminds me of this:

Sane people don't GAF about the numbers. They want to log in and relax and play a game.

I mean, I could go through his wall of verbal diarrhea and methodically annihilate everything point by point, but good lord, it's just such a waste of life at this point. This is a case of someone who is simply impervious to evidence - it'd be like trying to reason a scientologist out of their religion. The bit where he refers to anything with more than three syllables as an "SAT word" gave me a laugh, though. So I'll just keep pointing out that someone like Soeki surely isn't capable of conducting meaningful research of any kind based on his erratic, anything-but-reasonable way of "arguing", and his completely false inerrancy, but actually engaging with him at this point is just intellectual suicide.

Your original comments have been refuted by literally every other person on this thread. I have to disagree with you again, and let you know that it would not be a "waste of life at this point". I, and probably everyone else that has called out your misinformation, are very curious to see this "evidence" that you are holding so dear. And why the hell didn't you provide the evidence 8 pages ago so we could have all eaten crow pie. Must be another example of my human rationality getting in the way again.

Another side question; Do you believe that up to this point that your contributions to this thread have been worthy of your precious time?

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.

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

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

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.
