That's probably your problem right there. The only quest I'm on is for the truth. I can't help but argue. Ridiculously preposterous arguments are the chump change I chew on while the true hard and important problems (homework, private hobby/research) get worked out in the background. You should try it, it works great.
Let's take what's left of your last post after you consider what I wrote above:
It's not an arthurian quest.
It is a quest of sorts but I don't take it seriously, other than the challenge in either staying sharp in ACM SA etc, and working out new ones to then stay sharp on. I suppose it's a similar dynamic with written arguments on the forum. It's not personal if I slice and dice your posts when I see they're erroneous, no more than when I pwn someone in the game's virtual sky.
I just wrote what specifically is my personal satisfaction from success in the game. But I do have a competitive nature but it's mostly self-sustained. I don't thrive in seeing other people less well off than they could be. It's certainly why I enjoy helping my opponents be at their best; which isn't what you would be (if you so choose to be opponent) if I didn't set you straight on a couple of matters, this one being one of em.
I frankly don't give a rat's bellybutton if you have fun or not with the pigs, if you're with the pigs, who the pigs are or what they do in their pen, or anything else piggish. I only care about digesting things and pooping them out successfully. So far I'm having no trouble except your complaint that your input doesn't come out unchallenged after my digestion. You just don't seem to get it. I don't take offense at that either. I simply assess it as inability to concede plain sense.
In your last sentence you explicitely admit the premise to the point I developped.
This is a game. It's meant to be played. Its purpose is to offer the player as much freedom in his actions as possible so as to maximize the potential for gameplay. My interest is to have playmates who partake to the fullest in this judiciously named "gameplay", and seeing no downsides to enriching their gameplay toolboxes, I champion the cause of richer gameplay. What goes around comes around: Their improvements are my improved adversity and worthwhileness in playing this damn game I get such a kick out of even after 10 years. Fortunately enough I'm not the only one who's been in the same warbird-infatuation boat for a decade+.
Now. Do answer the questions in my previous post. Connect the dots.
And stop wasting your time trying to convince anyone that I'm doing all this to gain some kind of cred.. Cred is meaningless on this forum. Barely anything I do is conducive to cred, so your argument doesn't even have legs to stand on. I ask for no credit or recognition than whatever people deem I deserve.. because I have no use for it.. because I think it's beside the point.. because this is all around a game.
The only meaning to this game, is to play the game. Not just to land kills or take bases that're as ephemerous as sand castles. The fight is the victory. The path is the destination. Yes I'm drunk, but who the f cares - all that matters is the truth. Prove what I said wrong.
There I've shot my load. Next!
