Damnit! Is it because I was a bit delayed by dinner?

My laptop claims to have 90 minutes of power left, and I could use my father's. So I'd be able to join today.

Way to go, me! I managed to forget my power supply at home, so here's me using the crappy browser of my new 3DS to inform you that I might not be able to join the session tomorrow, depending on whether or not disuse is enough to conserve the battery power of my laptop and phone so that they're not dead by tomorrow evening.

Cash or exp? And do they apply to each one of us, or do we have to stay in a group for them to work?

The fundermental flaw with that philosophy is that if everyone is doing what they do do if they were other people then all it really does is reverse the roles...Of course that assumes that men know what they would actually do...as well as what is 'good' for them. Many of the greatest tyrants and villians in history held that they must do as they do because somebody had to...indeed many envied their servants and slaves that they(the slaves) did not have to make the hard decisions that they (the masters) did. Doing unto others only serves to extend intolerance and hostility. I prefer Lao Tzu's "Simplicy, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures." Then why complain? Please do not compose arguments which are hypocritical, the only person they fool is the speaker. That I think little of people who are recalcitrant in the face of facts? That I bear no mind to defend those who are insulted by those who's arguments are fallacious and malicious? That I will use Irony and Wit as my sword and spear, as opposed to naked boasts of my fighting prowess, and rude hand gestures when that fails? That I, he who would spend many hours trying to run games for the Tavern while none else attempt to, am in fact not a source of infinate patience? That while I am willing to tolerate a great many things, to stomach a great many blows, and to withstand a great many diatribes based on half baked understandings of science, sociology and psycology, even I am drawn to trading hard words? You cannot further you moral high ground, because you cannot own morality. Any attempts to do so are merely ego. In each case you either observe morality, or you do not. If I took offense, I would respond in kind, whereas what I do is to explain that what you are doing is wrong. And you are right, no, you cannot own morality, for it is a trait, not an object. And here's another newsflash, karma cannot be held, for it is intangible. *gasp* And no, your games are not what's holding the Tavern together, if you haven't noticed, less than a fourth of the Tavern plays your current games. Nor are you the only one to host games, if you haven't forgot, I had a game recently, until I had to kick you out, falling under the three player minimum, because you were insistent on creating a flying city to mine out Mars' crust

Well, I just so happened to also be studying electrical circuits at the time (When you are studying a branch of Electrical engineering you tend to study electricity fairly often) and I was also telling you that you were spouting nonsense. While yes you could theoretically get infinite current, that infinite current would have no ability to perform any useful work, which is what you were trying to claim it actually did. Yeah, that current would not be capable of doing too much work (in fact the amount of work it could do would be the exact amount the charge of the capacitor amounts to). The only thing it could do that would not slow down the current would be to generate a magnetic field, which was exactly what it was supposed to. That field would barely last longer than the pulse, but in that time it could induce electricity into another coil, for example with much higher voltage if that coil had more turns than the first one. And if that voltage was high enough, it could cause an arc, which if the pulses happened at high frequency and someone was hit by the arcs could cause involuntary spams in say... their hearts.

Then let me remind you, Wyvren, that I was the one studying electrics at the time. And further let me remind you that it only appeared to break one of the physical laws because the explanation provided by my opponent only took account for one law. The circuit in question was a capacitor discharging through a superconductor. 100 volts passing through a conductor that has 0 ohms of resistance does so at an infinite amperage. My opponent claimed this broke the laws of thermodynamics, since it would equal infinite wattage, which according to him was infinite energy. Meanwhile what happens is that the charge passes at an infinitesimal time, which means that the energy is not infinite, but rather impossible to calculate based on wattage and time. You want some wise words, Archi? "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." - The Golden Rule. The fact that I make it easy for you to insult me says nothing about me, I could avoid them, but I do not bother, for neither do your words bother me. The fact that you use each situation I give you however says quite a bit about you. So what does it matter that I am open for insults? Each one you make only furthers my moral high ground.

I do not respond to objection by claiming the opponent to be my lesser, I disprove the objection, though in the process of doing so I may insinuate that my opponent is less knowledgeable in the matter in order to emphasize how basic the level on which the objection is wrong is. Though if you are referring to my statement regarding your formulation in the discussion of Construction, that had less to do with your objection than it had to do with the method you explained it in being illegible.

Archi, that doesn't even make sense. Just because I manage to repeatedly make myself out to be the antagonistic party in a discussion does not give you a free pass to make an effort to insult me. How I am: Morally self-conscious bezzerwizzer with lacking social inhibition. How I am according to your parodies: Inconsiderate bigot with Napoleon's syndrome. Does that really seem fair to you? To make me out to be the next Hitler when I am undeniably the most moral person in here. If Karma was currency, I'd be living in the lap of luxury while you'd be in an ally thanks to how you spend all of yours dissing me,

Well, I guess it could be called that since the four part episodes add up as 96 minutes. But it's split into regular 24 minute episodes, so it's not really a movie.

No, no. There never was any movie, especially not one made by M. Night Shyamalan that butchered the entire concept by leaving out major characters and plot points, mispronouncing Aang's name and turning earthbending into an underpowered dance routine.

Also that comment of yours about verbal assault. Try comparing my posts to yours and then see which contain more insults, name calling and offensive parodying.

In my defense I had no way of seeing that since it opened in this, pinned, tab, all I saw was "The Last Airbender" being used consistently in the site itself. Though saying it was the European name for it was still wrong. And it's not like Asia (apart from Japan) has a reputation for getting things from western culture right.

Archi, this wasn't even a discussion, I just corrected him. And no, the Legend of Aang is not a name given to it by the fandom, though I suspect it may frequently and erroneously be called that by people outside it. And there are no books, that's just what the seasons are called; Book 1, 2 and 3. Also there was never a movie.- The Back Room
It was called The Last Airbender in the whole world, dude, someone's just been [bleep]ing with Wikipedia. Ahhhh... my brain is flipping out just because I watched a shitstorm take place. I've entered a shock state without even moving my ass from the couch and my body is shaking like a hyperactive [bleep]ing chihuahua.- The Back Room

Right now you're the one embarrassing yourself, as not only are you now trying to explain away the fact that you claimed to say something by saying what you initially said was similar, but you also [bleep]ed up by denying that the construction area is huge and open. The construction area's size is level dependent, so after a certain level it can definitely be called huge (no, that is not lvl 80, at high levels it is actually excessively huge, my lvl is somewhere around 45, and my property is bigger than I could ever have use for), and it is empty and flat before you start building, hence open.- The Back Room
Initial question. Initial suggestions. Stating preference for an ambiguous trait, followed by incorrect statement and baseless statement. Stating that you do not want to play Minecraft. Contradicting your incorrect statement. Statement based on optional methods of performing what was claimed to not exist. Statement describing an other option of performing said thing. Repetition of statement with half of implication of the optional method removed. Explanation on how taking the other option nullifies another aspect of the statement. Stating discontent at the manner of conversing. Statement through another manner of conversing, explaining previous points. Partially correct statements. Statement of discreditation. Statement correcting previous statements. Grinding is hardly a lazy thing...just a boring thing. On top of that there is no benefit, or even mildly interesting thing related to construction. You go into a 'room'(or portal) and then you play the construction game, then you come out and go to the farming 'room'(or patch) and then play the farming game. Its just a series of games, with no real interaction between them...Except to make/spend money/items to advance within them. And as brilliant as changing the colour of your altar, or other very minor, asthetic, changes, its not like you can show off your house in any meaningful way...you might as well just be playing a single player game, like Minecraft... Unnecessary statement. False statement. Opinionated false statement. Opinionated statement. Statement defying previous false statements. Expression of disbelief at the obvious. Discreditation of game features. Discreditation of argument: "Stating preferred sort of game (first mention of the word frontier)." "Initial suggestion, now out of context and twisted." "Previously unused statement (second mention of the word frontier)." "Fact contrieved from a prior statement." Statement of acceptance and discontent. Maybe you can see it now, where it, unlike in your summary, is unmanipulated and each post has been drawn down to its most basic explanation.- The Back Room
Oops, it appears TIF only needed a few minutes to process my post, not that it was lost.- The Back Room
You gave me one description and a baseless claim. And with your description conflicting with your actual definition, that means it is not me who is at fault for a "lack of crosschecking". You are merely digging yourself into a trench with your words, then blaming me for the fact that there's a wall of dirt in front of you. Look, I'm no wizard when it comes to reading between the lines, but when such becomes as necessity because the lines themselves contradict the intended meaning, then you have only yourself to blame. Now I suggest that instead of telling me that I keep reading you wrong, that you instead work on making your formulation work in synchronization with the message it is supposed to convey, rather than against it as it currently does.- The Back Room
Manipulating the appearance of things with incomplete data sure works wonders, doesn't it? Actually, Runescape pretty much tops the list when it comes to immersive storytelling. If you play the game for its gameplay, you're bound to be disappointed. But if you pay attention to the story behind the quests and go searching for gags, it'll blow your mind. Some MMOs may have a history dating back up to a century, but Runescape has millenia of political and religious strife, lost, rearisen and hidden empires, technology both new and old lying around where you'd least expect it. RuneScape isn't intended to be seen as a game, it's an experience, a whole world, readable for anyone that has the patience to look for it. Also JaGEx is a master of clever easter eggs. Such as in the newest quest, if you use an abyssal whip or feather on the girl after tying her up, you get the message "Runescape isn't that kind of fantasy game." - The Back Room
