ah and yes , I am god's gift to womenkind

After checking what Godwin's Law is, your (first) post is pretty funny myhandisonfire.

Ace Windu winning this thread imo.

Gui, you're a little bit too harsh.

Eagleblast, you're a little bit too earnest.




Lighten up fellas.

No, I believe myhands is now winning.

ya, but Eagleblast gifted him the V with the Hitler reference.

This thread is way off topic...

"Texas, the creator was asking to join a clan not too long ago... Imho that signified it's end.."

Perrin, watcha mean? Don't quite understand.

Back to the non-topic of this non-thread, I think people need to chilllllll out. If we keep being naughty boys on the forums, engaging in pissing contests, Fiz might take it away!

Texas, I think I confused your clan for the one Chibi made, that also had non-english characters

Eagle is certainly right about Gui being a hypocrite.

And if Gui really finds senseless BS like this fun I would suggest he/she looks for better ways to enjoy oneself.

for the sake of myhand (to pick and choose his spots to enter the conversation), carry on!

gaspumper: it's not about winning or losing but simply responding to eagle's initial gratuitous attack (see his response to unknown) & ace's somewhat ill-natured attack from out of the woodwork. i dont take verbal jousting (or myself) too seriously. after all, my name is gui (ghost/demon), so that is the persona i adopt.

master regulator, regarding your unimportant points:

- "gg, gl, lol" = a playful parody of online conversations in general and a little light-hearted self-deprecation (regl: it is hard to communicate with you; me: i communicate quite well in my games by saying gg, gl, lol)
- grammar: i attacked your language not your grammar, since it was hard to respond to such language devoid of meaning when my mind only reads your words as "[empty phrase] [empty phrase] [preposition] [empty phrase], you [empty phrase insult]"
- [overused metaphors](http://web.archive.org/web/20110120095904/http://www.economist.com/research/styleGuide/index.cfm?page=673913): to sprinkle them in every now and then is fine. to make every clause a composition of 2-4 such phrases linked together by a mere preposition or pronoun is just ugly and defiles the english language to some extent. if you were a foreigner, i'd overlook it. but since you are most likely an american, it is troubling.
- capitalization: ee cummings' poetry & voltaire's first edition of le siecle de louis xiv (published in germany) both freely used lower case words. english once capitalized every noun (like german) but no longer does (thus original works from the 17th century capitalized every noun). an artistic or casual trend toward the lower case is nothing new and offers the writer a certain freedom of expression: personally, i edit/translate/teach english too much and the rules tire me, so i enjoy the casualness of lower cased words in less important or informal social settings.

You yourself admit that language is a transient beast yet admonish others for derivation from strictures of principle.

i. master regulator's main point: "You're a **pompous ignoramus** [1] who **instead of actually participating in an [sic] discussion** [2], **cuts down others** [3] and **purposely distracts from the conversation at hand** [4] **in order to divert attention away fro[m] your own flaws and ignorance** [5]. You sir, are a **Troll** [6] to the worst degree. Go back to **4-chan** [7] instead of cluttering up threads on Warlight."

ii. my main point: my initial post was intended to (a) playfully respond to your attack on me , (b) **[2]** draw a contrast between regl & 20, & (c) **[2]** politely invite good/great players to join our games. **[5]** since then, i am simply responding to attacks in any manner that entertains me.

iii. commentary:

- **[see 1 & 5 above]** the real pompous ignoramus: just because it is latin doesn't mean it is not a cliche; such hackneyed expressions are simply shit in a suit & tie.
- **[2]** participation: i offered ideas about regl & 20 and extended an invitation to play fun, competitive games.
- **[3]** you 'cut me down' when my persona & actions were not **[1 & 4]** the topic of discussion and before i even wrote anything on the thread.
- thus, you knocked on my door to start a fight and now complain about **[5]** my intentionally playful responses to your **[2 & 3]** initial (and incessant) aggression.
- **[5 & 6]** [don't insult him too!](http://warlight.net/Profile.aspx?p=78456200)
- **[7]** please don't assume i know what these things are.

raver, the lower case can be casual in informal settings (by us common people) or poetic, stylistic or artistic in formal settings (by great authors). 'cuz' is just ugly.

a contrast of sorts:

- "Me ain't gonna do it cuz I don't wanna."
- the above is much different from any simple sentence written in clear language: the former is a habit of spelling (since the advent and evolution of "msn english") intimately linked to one's intellect, cultural milieu, and perhaps even socio-economic status; the latter is deliberately casual.

W/E, I'm dun w/ dis shiz, ur jus not wrth it. Stop trollololololing and ply da game.

one last question though, why do you keep calling ma Master Regulator?

master: i'm in china and 師父 (shifu: master) is a more common expression than 'leader'
regulator: regl

so whos winning the thread? lets check the scores:

ace windu: +5
myhandisonfire: -4
eagleblast: -10
gui: -1000
everyone else: -1 per post

hahaha, REGL = Regulator? do your homework man. For one, REGL stands for Red Eagles. For two, I'm in no way a "master".

Why am I negative? this makes me sad. And Perrin should be like at least +5.

Guys i dont think this forum has enough space for both your ego's...

also, this reminds me of this:

i disagree with the premise that this forum exists for competitive purposes of winning or losing the conversation. though, when young my mom always said, "speak only when spoken to," so i respond if spoken to.

some interesting ideas:
- [symphonic vs american win-lose conversational styles](http://www.sklatch.net/thoughtlets/turns.html)
- [chinese & american styles of conversation compared](http://en.cnki.com.cn/Article_en/CJFDTOTAL-QHSZ200803031.htm)

Could someone pass me the popcorn please? I ran out of it. :(
