I would have if I was 100% certain I could do so without any legal troubles. I've got student loans to pay and crippling medical debt. But there's no way I could reach absolute certainty with something like that, so I wouldn't have. I kind of think those who tried to sell their abused earnings might not have thought through how badly a criminal offense can [bleep] up your life.

He's not banned. But when we were removing the duplicate thread, someone accidentally flagged his account as spamming (which is ridiculously easy to do on this new IPB version >_<) and it had to wait until an admin got on to correct it. Sorry about that mess @_@ They're making money and controlling it to avoid mass market panic, so they're not harming their own gameplay. If you're going to try to reach out to those players, you'd have to connect to them on a different level. If they cared about the overall integrity of the game, this would never be an issue in the first place - so arguing idealistically is useless.

BK should be worried. They don't want another CD crashwar that the leader will have to apologize for.

Same for me and many others, wouldn't be suprised if odds are lowered as you get more pieces, just out of interest, are you missing the staff? The boots, actually. The Staff was the first piece of QG I ever received.

I've been stuck on 4/5 of the Queen's guard outfit, so I can't change color on it yet. It's starting to agitate me.

I don't think of you as a woman, or even a person. I think of you as Clam.

I'm so sad. Corruption on our map forced us to do a map wipe after the admins couldn't figure out a way to fix it. So the lead moderator recorded a tribute vid for it. I'm kinda excited for a new map but bummed, too. Meh. We're going to be doing Vech's new superhostile map though within the next 15min or so, so that should be fun. I love doing CTM maps with the server.

I got the Sunbathing Emote and Shark Fists 4 this weekend. The only good thing is that I'm now hiring a partner for a Street Sharks puppet show.

I would like to see what I said was false. You should try participating more in discussion. I can't very well read your mind, now can I?

Repeating what you said in the last post does not make it any better the second time around, again, when you've been maintaining that position (whether you realize it or not) throughout the course of discussion. Repeating this also doesn't account for the fact that your information was incorrect. You don't get full credit on the math problem by reaching the right conclusion in the wrong way. This is the nature of discussion.

Two lines on one post does not remove the position you've been arguing for an entire thread. I feel very sorry for you that your attempt to discredit an aspect of something you didn't fully understand crashed and burned like the Hindenburg. Sorry Faux. :/

Now you're backing out of the points you previously asserted as fact because you have nothing to counter them with. If you're making a claim that PC gaming is inferior in quality, cost, and product control, you should have expected resistance and prepared. Whatever crusade you thought you were trying to accomplish was muddied by your lack of proof for your outrageous claims.

I'm far from ignorant on the situation. You, however, seem to need a little schooling. Allow me: No, because gaming laptops don't cool properly and cause more problems in the long run. Furthermore, laptop PC gaming is far more expensive than desktop PC gaming. Most people refrain from doing that for those two key reasons. So no, while your example can happen, it's a far far far cry from common, whereas people owning two or more consoles to suit their needs is far more common. Numbers back me up. You're welcome to show contradicting evidence. Until then, you're grasping at straws with nothing to back up your biased opinions. And as a side note: you're implying I prefer PC better simply because I disagree with you - that's also false. For example, I have a mid-line PC and three consoles, and I spent just about the same so far on all of them. I use them all more or less equally, as well. Your position is not the only answer. Sorry to break that to you.

Most people also own multiple PCs. What's your point? Once we go into multiple things then yeah, obviously. But in terms of a 1 PC vs 1 console, you honestly cannot say with a straight face the console will cost more. So ridiculous. A decent pair of "gaming" KB+M alone easily costs more than $100 also. Luxury items are expensive ;) Show me a man who has built a PC - a GAMING RIG - and goes, "well I want multiple of these so lets go!". Show me a man who has both a PS3 and an XBOX360 to take advantage of exclusives. Which is more likely? Please use common sense here. Your biased opinions are clouding your judgement. At least try to approach this with an open mind.

You're assuming that people HAVE to upgrade with every version. This is not true. And upgrading when you also have a current windows key is often far less. For example, if you have Win7 (legit), upgrading to win8 will only be 40$. Also, most people own more than one console or handheld (Source: gamefaqs daily polls x, most even have every iteration of consoles from the same publishers x, x, x, etc etc etc) Not to mention that with add-ons in the form of DLC, accessories, repairs out of warranty (happens to everyone, PC or Console), etc your costs become less skewed than you can imagine. If anything, I'd propose that only an idiot would say they're any different in cost in the long run. When you're not comparing identical traits, it's apples and oranges. When you are, it pretty much all comes out in the wash. It's downright laughable to do otherwise and assert that one side is better than the other (be it in quality, cost, whatever) as if it were an absolute truth and not a matter of preference.

(Couldn't find a good clip to post of "Richard, hold me!" that was safe for work. lol)

One mage in your room and you're defenseless with lowered melee accuracy unless you're taking your hood off before rooms like that and removing it when the SSH effect is nullified.

I was okay until I heard that the Dungeoneering zoom bug got worse. Then I was livid when I saw the troll response. It's like hoping for a quiet relaxing day only to have a streaker run by your log cabin and shit on your doormat.

Defragging your harddrive won't do squat. Increase the RAM allocated to Java and see if that helps you. http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/760904-java-heap-size-increase-ram-works/ (don't do 1g+ unless you have the extra RAM for it; remember your system needs ram too. I set mine from 512M to 768M and I have 2GB ram in my system, for example.)

If they're mono by default it's because society sets the default (and our expectations)

Not in the least. The only reason why you would think that is if you've never used a good protection mod. Both LWC and Residence - hell, even Factions - can easily add other users to an accepted build/use list. When used properly, it has absolutely no negative impact on the community. Unless you're in a community of griefers, maybe... I personally don't see any use of restricting a persons ability to access areas or share items when with hawkeye I can look and see malicious grieving and revert it in a second. There's no need to restrict the players experience or detract from vanilla gameplay when simply having a dedicated admin or a few extra moderators (on a larger server) who are willing to fix issues rather than just shut everything off. I can do the same exact thing without "shutting everything off" AND allowing players to build in an area knowing that they're safe to do so. Coreprotect also lets me roll back anything done easily, which we employ on our server. And instead of being hyper vigilant and never getting a chance to enjoy the game or having a bloated staff for no reason, our staff and users can both equally enjoy the game knowing their belongings are safe should there ever be a time when another staff member isn't around. I really just don't understand your hangup with protection mods. I get wanting a pure-vanilla experience but just understand you're in a minority there.

I'd say for everyone who disagreed with you at this point, that this is not the case. So maybe you need to re-evaluate that opinion.

If you can accept that sometimes the net "value" of these conflicting feelings can be negative, you also have to accept that the net "value" of those feelings can also be positive. You can't have one way or the other. You can interpret the word to mean walking on the moon if you want, but your conclusion is still incomplete at best. Negative emotions are 3x as potent as positive emotions, so generally negativity is the outstanding quality when it comes to dissonance like that. Uh. Okay. That doesn't disprove anything though. You just said "this happens most often."
