"aaarghhh lag" - classic death sentence of failing wannabe pk
This is actually a reasonable excuse because of the occassional, but horrible moonwalking animation played right at the most crucial life and death moments in the game that seems to only happen to you and you alone. ;)

Yet you decided not to use a single one? A wise decision, my child.
We've been over this... twice.
I don't see how helping new players could be ruining the player base, but I'll try to address that point anyway. Do you really think that if a person gets killed a few times and immediately after that rage-quits, anything of value gets lost? Because I certainly don't. You see, in the world of online games it's survival of the fittest, and some people simply don't have what it takes to play them. Let them enjoy playing Tetris on their mobile phones, and just leave them alone.


You really want to embarass yourself that much? Because personally, I can play along and I promise, 3rd Reich Fuhrer wont be the best example I can come up with. I'm not saying whose dad I would like to include, but there's gonna be one of the famous dads there!

Also - 90% of people using sentences like "[....],my child" in the interweb are proud of beeing 17 years old, when they feel the power of beeing almost super adult. The rest ten percent goes either to old pricks like Wichura or poor old women who lost their child thus see their child everywhere due to enormous pain.

Theres nothing to be proud of when you are the first case, since age doesn't really matter. You're trolling style isn't good enough to write it as some older folks who ACTUALLY dont care bout internetz so second case ain't working either. That left you with the third option - and I don't believe people loosing their close one are wasting their time arguing on internet, so... dude... really not cool!

I'm afraid that you'll have to do *much* better than that.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductio_ad_Hitlerum
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law
To paraphrase what you've just said... do you really want to embarrass yourself even more? I am certainly looking forward to it, go ahead and deliver all the examples you have.

Also - 90% of people using sentences like (...) are (...)

[citation needed]

Plus, don't expect this sort of "arguments" to elicit any reaction from me.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_personam

Also, 81.476% of all statistics are false and 74.451% are true. What now? And how is that relevant to the actual content of any of my posts?

There is one more option: I'm not 'trolling' at all, and you're making a fool of yourself by, among other things: 1) comparing me to Hitler, 2) persistently attempting to invalidate my points by resorting to arguments ad hominem and, while we are at it, 3) using in writing incorrect, slangy contractions such as "ain't." Frankly, whenever I see a person, particularly a learner of English (you'd think s/he'd know better) using all these ain't's, wanna's, gonna's, etc. in writing, I truly feel like slapping them, and I don't mean giving them a slap on the back here, in case you wondered.

I believe this concludes our little discussion.

Oh shit, I think I started arguing with way to intelligent guy... After all, he's able to use wikipedia.

Also, I wrote, that Hitler comparison won't be the best one I can come up. How come, the only thing you understood from it was "Oh shit, he's comparing me to nazis! Im gonna paste some links from wiki!" ?

I should start the next sentence with "Kid", but I'm not that kind of guy, so:

Dude - We were discussing something here. It''s actually you, who changed the subject into more personal ones. Also - you're the one who actually included Adolf into conversation, making a big deal of the part bout 3rd reich. I think if you had some more distance to the whole matter, you would see it wasn't used as a serious argument. Closer to the joke rather, I don't expect you to undarstand it anymore though. Also - it's not very bright idea mentioning the second point, if you can't undarstand a simple joke and didn't actually get the part where I tried to indicate, that it's not very fair move to use sentences like "[...] wise child" in annonymous conversation. Especially - since I'm pretty sure I'm older than you.

100% of all statistics on the other hand, say that guys that take everything so personally and bark at everyone who tries to start discussion with them are deuchbags ;) 100% can't be wrong.

As for my english. I'm not sure if I should even comment it, but I'm glad you did it. You can check on wikipedia what language is used in Poland. One little hint - it's not english - so before you get any more cocky about it, tell me how well you speak polish ;)

All in all - Im pretty sure you're able to argue about stuff that really doesn't matter for hours. Especially since you tend to take it way too personally - I'm going to suggest to switch to actual subject and start discussing like a healthy, adult person should :)

And the winner is... TommyTheGun!

The discussion has changed into an argument of 2 people <deep sigh>

Off-topic (?): Actually moonwalking is a big threat, because it can screw you badly, mostly in encounters against critters.

Shuuush... it's getting good. I've had occasion to talk with Startion a little and I know TMG good enough to know that's not something that you want to interrupt. Just get some popcorn and watch world burn.

There's no flame at all :P But after you exchanged your views you gonna just argue now, but none of you gonna accept each other's opinion, so it's endless "text fight", until one of you get bored with it. Everyone already agreed that Startion is "supa evul PK" and he will pwn everyone on sight without any remorse, even friends, innocent children and women, so there's no point in this conversation, in my opinion :P

Let us quickly, point by point, where one point relates to one consecutive post, recapitulate what's happened in our discussion so far, before I proceed.

Now onto the meat of this post.

Oh shit, I think I started arguing with way to intelligent guy... After all, he's able to use wikipedia.
I tried to make my message as short and clear as possible. Wikipedia came in handy, saving me a lot of trouble, and allowing me to present what I was going to present in a fairly concise manner.

Also, I wrote, that Hitler comparison won't be the best one I can come up. How come, the only thing you understood from it was "Oh shit, he's comparing me to nazis! Im gonna paste some links from wiki!" ?
*sighs* I am still waiting for you to pull those excellent examples you've been talking about for several *days* now out of your sleeve. Will I live to see the day when it finally happens? Let us wait and see...


I should start the next sentence with "Kid", but I'm not that kind of guy, so:
Of course you're not. Just because you compare random people to Hitler, use imaginary statistics, change the topic of your conversation whenever you like and try to insult other people's parents (as listed in the SPOILER above), it doesn't mean you are 'that kind of guy.' Not at all. Not you, the cool guy, no. Keep telling that to yourself, and everything's going to be fine. Just fine.

Dude - We were discussing something here. It''s actually you, who changed the subject into more personal ones.
Wrong. See SPOILER, and follow it to your own post where you did exactly what you're now trying to accuse me of.
Also - you're the one who actually included Adolf into conversation, making a big deal of the part bout 3rd reich. I think if you had some more distance to the whole matter, you would see it wasn't used as a serious argument.
Are you serious, or is this another 'joke?' Go back to your previous posts and read what you wrote.
Closer to the joke rather, I don't expect you to undarstand it anymore though. Also - it's not very bright idea mentioning the second point, if you can't undarstand a simple joke and didn't actually get the part where I tried to indicate, that it's not very fair move to use sentences like "[...] wise child" in annonymous conversation. Especially - since I'm pretty sure I'm older than you.
Well, if you're older than me, that certainly makes you right! I suggest that, instead of desperately clinging to the phrase 'my child,' which was used in a harmless manner, and only to indicate that it was, perhaps, high time you had realized that you started running in circles, you should try and address the actual *content* of my posts, rather than their wording.
100% of all statistics on the other hand, say that guys that take everything so personally and bark at everyone who tries to start discussion with them are deuchbags ;) 100% can't be wrong.
It's not me taking things too personally here, and trying to insult my interlocutor. Take your time, read through our conversation once again, and realize the terrible truth.

100% of all statistics on the other hand, say that guys that take everything so personally and bark at everyone who tries to start discussion with them are deuchbags ;) 100% can't be wrong.As for my english. I'm not sure if I should even comment it, but I'm glad you did it. You can check on wikipedia what language is used in Poland. One little hint - it's not english - so before you get any more cocky about it, tell me how well you speak polish
I merely made an innocuous remark concerning an issue in general. In short, I criticized a tendency rather than any given person. Of course, you mistook it for an invective, as would be expected of someone who, to use your own words, takes  everything so personally and barks at everyone who tries to start a discussion with them.*
All in all - Im pretty sure you're able to argue about stuff that really doesn't matter for hours. Especially since you tend to take it way too personally - I'm going to suggest to switch to actual subject and start discussing like a healthy, adult person should
Here's one more Wikipedia link for you, enjoy.

I still have good experiences in Wasteland.  Be simple bluesuit HtH, find enc... It's a vs! SMGguy is waiting nearby, too, though. Not one word is spoken. And neither is any attacks exchanged. We work together and kill entire enc, loot and leave without an issue.   

Happens rather often to me, always considered myself lucky in the wasteland. In all seriousness I have more friendly interactions out there most of the time than in a city. You'd think not, with the player paranoia, but it is One of the main things why I like wandering for player enc on WM(and also miss Tracking   >:(  )

There are so many readily accessible articles on "how to not suck," both here on the forum and on our wiki, that anyone smarter than a mutated brahmin can easily educate themselves and, guess what, not suck when playing the game.

Therefore, there's no justifying NOOBS who let others enter their tents, attempt to strike up conversations in random encounters (both with players and NPCs), do not move away when someone tries to steal from them, etc., etc.

I mean seriously, these guys should just not play, I mean if your not serious like us then don't play fallout. You see us PROS spend countless hours memorizing the wiki for a game made 14 years ago. You see us PROS sit in front of computers with tubes in our mouths and asses hoping we wont have to get up from a 12hour streak of playing fonline. Us PROS are soo badass because we understand how to play video games better than others
JEeez noobs just gotta stop being noobs, I mean you should just start as a pro!
