Divinity, you are salty! Wow! If you were pushed in to a slug infested swamp, you'd kill every urchin in there! I still can't extract anything useful from your arguments. Your thesis always seems to be. "You're dumb, I'm smart." And you're a broken record for that phrase. Well congratulations on having an opinion! Too bad it's only your opinion, and I think you should be exempt of the American freedom of having free speech. It'd be great if you and Melon had synergy with your arguments, constantly I'll mock you for some dumb thing you say, and he will react like it was directed at him. The teacher in my metaphor actually failed everyone in his class, remember? Obviously it's no longer the fault of the students alone if not a single person passed! Plus, the schoolboard has a quota most teachers need to meet, where whoever passes the most kids is honoured as teacher of the year. You passed no kids, I bet nobody even wanted to attend your class. So now I'm just going to show you mutual respect, Div, and selectively read what I want to... that being, mostly only Melon's half of your combined arguments. He's like the better half of your brain here. O.K. Mel, here's my rebuttal. I agreed that 'prepped runes' that had to be cut short would instead count as quick casts. I agreed on a way to apply the 'prep' concept to his runes, which really dulls the logic behind them, but hey. I said I agreed to T1EA (to my chagrin), but the minute I also said Myron can ready 2 runes, and count one of them as a prep the next turn, and 1 as a prep that turn, Div lost his shit. This is under the assumption that both count as preps, but they don't in reality, not in the beginning, both just require a set-up phase that comes before them counting as a prep, or 'powerful spell.' In a way, it reveals what I'm going to do before I do so every time. I was determined to agree with the 1 prep per turn idea, but because my character prepares all his spells, I'm sure everyone here got crazy fuckcluster confused due to the difference between 'prepare' and 'prep.' Honestly, you need a way better term to use instead of prep, maybe like 'prime attack,' or 'prime defence.' (Sounds way better, don't you think?) This hypothetical multiprep, I believe is a misinterpretation; all of Myron's spells require a setup before counting as a prep, but I never said each one would count as a prep with multiple turns power behind it. (I think I've gotten the handle on your rulebook and how it applies to my character, now... just in time for the information to be useless, eh?) You've held the only points I wanted to agree with, Melon, so I want your opinion on this. My biggest bargaining chip has been the fact I've broken no rules IC. I'm confident I have the advantage in this battle, and that I could defeat Divinity, and I want to, honestly. Have you ever taken down someone with such a huge ego, who was antagonizing you like a jerk final boss throughout the game? Isn't it the best feeling ever? I want that feeling, I want to lather it all over my body. Because the rules haven't been breached, and we came to conclusions on our profiles before any major fighting began, it should indeed retain the flaming symbol of a ranked fight. I'm willing to play by T1EA, and as much as he annoys me, I want to keep fighting Divinity, for a plethora of evil reasons. If he forfeits, I want it to count as his loss, cause it proves he couldn't commit to the shit flinging contest that we started with one another.
