sk starting points

[Jimjam]

I'm not saying your experience is worse than mine, merely ours are different. We clearly play and gear differently, which produces different results.

By combining our experiences we have a bigger dataset. I in no way meant to demean your experiences, particularly because I've been actually looking at your experiences you've reported and seeing how they match or mismatch my own knowledge and experience.

I never said starting stats don't matter. I was explaining the context of something which you keep getting hung up on, and tbh you seem to be saying it about dumping str.

You keep telling me to stop participating in the discussion, which is the forum equivalent of telling someone to shut up.

Imo the entire point of discussion is to explore and argue ideas, it would not be ideal for people lacking knowledge to take part. In fact, such participance is a great way to have a fresh set of eyes, ask questions and improve knowledge. I mean you don't know the full code of the game, yet keep posting. Should you relent posting just because you don't know the full details of how str impacts the game? I suggest not. You clearly have a lot of knowledge to share and it would be a shame if you weren't to ever post again!


Perhaps I made a mistake to have mirrored your language in the use of the word 'guessing'. I didn't mean guess as 'completely fabricated from nothing'. TBH I feel a little bit like you may have set a trap there by using the word then latching on to it so hard after I repeated it.

For clarity, I meant guess as 'make an inference based on the limited information we all have'.

Edit: i don't mean to denounce your parses - I'm not saying they are worthless, merely acknowledging the limitations. That is normal to do when discussing a dataset. Don't take it as an insult as your parse is very good. As previously mentioned I can get a parse to you in maybe a month. Remind me.
