Nice post rapier. It seems the two extreme groups are:
Group A: It's all about the fight
Group B: A kill is a kill
I'm probably somewhere in between the two extremes, but I love playing devil's advocate. I could just as easily tear apart Rapier's argument as I did shuffler's and corky's (please bite), but it would be just for show. It really all comes down to how you enjoy the game, and how you treat other players.
LOL God of the keyboard and the virtual skies too! I had no idea I got torn up. It's ok though. I can take it
We do need t work on your comprehension a bit though as you seem to want to complicate this far too much. I thought I'd made it clear the last time you wanted a specific 'law'. Oh well. Last try. I'm out after this as as near as I can tell this is about making this the longest thread possible.
One last try, with an illustration. Photo from the Minnesota Rennisance Festival last Saturday. I was working but my wife took our youngest, Matthew to see the sights. A bunch of the folks were dressed up as pirates. I liked this picture of Matthew meeting a cartoon pirate for the first time.
So lets apply this to the neverending discussion here. Matthew has just ventured into the cartoon pirate world for the first time. After wandering around in his stroller for a bit, Matthew (The noob) meets the veteran cartoon pilot. Matthew is all eyes at this point and has no clue how a cartoon pirate acts. The cartoon pirate is left with choices. He could dump mock ale on Matthew's head, tip over his stroller, and slash him with his replica sword to prove what a deadly cartoon pirate he is.(This being the Grizz pirate) Or, as this cartoon pirate did, he could remember his is just a cartoon pirate, and that there really isn't a pirate ship in the middle of Minnesota. He chose this route and spent time with Matthew and introduced him to some other veteran cartoon pirates, making the first experience in the cartoon pirate world a good one(This is how the Corky pirate would go about it). Is the veteran cartoon pirate a better cartoon pirate then Matthew? Absolutely. But based on his actions and those of the other cartoon pirates towards Matthew, I would guess that Matthew will be much more receptive to seeing cartoon pirates again and maybe over time learning something about real pirates too.
Instert cartoon pilot for cartoon pirate and you pretty much have it.
