[@Starfall] React and retract are just words, and ones you seem to think can be applied with positive or negative connotations at your leisure despite the circumstances. I proved that I didn't retract at all, and that you were the one power gaming, reversing actions, and misreading just about everything whilst sewing poorly veiled insults into every post. But since you are so bad at reading my posts, you probably just skimmed over everything so far and intend to again try to twist my meanings around. Good job on that, and whatnot. You started insulting me first, forget that not, and only because I attempted to accommodate your power trip. Do you even know what hypocrite means? I'll bite though. Let's address your "proof". [color=fff200]"This already constitutes an etiquette issue because you are indirectly stating that your character is so fast you can actually charge into my line of fire and still have time to dodge, effectively making Satori look like a retard."[/color] Go look up what a "slip" in boxing is, a word I described Pater's action with. Okay, crushed that point. Side Note: Just because I avoid an attack easily, you take it as a personal insult? I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do for you about that. [color=fff200]"After that you don't really describe anything about these swings. I get that they're wild and uncontrolled, or at least they were meant to appear that way, but as a roleplayer if I am to react to you properly I need absolutes. When you don't provide those to me I make them for myself and as you learned they don't always turn out in your favor. That said when I think reaping I think scythes and you don't collect with a scythe by swinging up and down, you reap with a side to side motion, which fits with him looking to pass her by. And if you are passing someone by and swinging from side to side it looks a lot like a clothesline"[/color] I said what I meant and meant what I said. If you can't comprehend what wild swings are and your first instinct is to redefine them as a left clothesline, then well... Honestly, you reasoning has me baffled. [color=fff200] "That didn't matter anyways because you were actually going to fling snot at her head, which you forgot was defended, and then became its own can of worms. But that was a single set of actions in a single post of yours that was vague and dismissive at once. A very impressive feat to pull off considering how little you write on average. I could continue, I could sit here and build a case against you so absolutely destructive towards your roleplaying ability that the jury would likely swing in your favor out of pity, and I would enjoy it because it would be an act of justice. But I wont because well I just don't feel like it, because I put a lot of effort into rolling with your nonsense and now some part of me is holding out hope that you are actually just too dumb and/or drunk to realize how much of a turnoff the way you treat others is, so sit there and think about it."[/color] You do realise that I've reached that conclusion already, as pertaining to you? Perhaps I'm just not used to someone that can somehow play a character with autoblocking powers whose only technique consists of swinging a blunt object really hard, and yet still consider them self sane after dissing an opponent that was actually trying to be creative. At any rate, I've already went through the trouble of constructing that "absolutely destructive" argument you have theorized about. It's the one with all the pretty screenshots, and I gave no qualms about posting it a second time. [b]However...[/b] I must concede to you on one point. It was dickish of me to hog up the roleplay and shift attention away from the plot by trying to fuck with everyone. I can only hope that I didn't wind up killing this thread for Thantos. Hell, I probably did.
