This is great...





RvW for president of the forum!

|> Yes you did. Your exact words, and I quote: "Ace made a great attempt to end the discussion."

Funny, when I read it, [it says](http://warlight.net/Forum/Thread.aspx?ThreadID=3047&Offset=20):
|> Sounds like a fair attempt at closing the discussion.

Neither the string "Ace made", nor "great attempt" even appear on that page, let alone in any of my posts. I understand accidental mis-quotes, but this looks pretty deliberate. (Of course, feel free to give a link which shows me wrong...)

Oh, and hate to disappoint you Moros, but I have no political aspirations whatsoever.

|>First and foremost, keep your posts short.

great job.

|>Beating a dead horse is always better.
check.

attention span and fast food have nothing to do with preference for shorter posts. its because the shit youre talking about isnt worth the time it takes to write or read.

@ X, I disagree. You're WM (Whiteman's Manlove), any chance a sexual reference to your rear would make you feel better?

@ RvW, I thought we settled this already. I said fair enough. I thought that ends all discussions in a fair manner.

Oh yeah: X for RvW's Intern!

Your misquote is from a later post than your "fair enough" (sure, I admit that's just a coincidence, but technically it's true); I'm only replying to what you said after you re-opened the discussion yourself.

Coincidence or not, you said it, RvW. I disagree that I re-opened the discussion. I closed it. You opened it. Now we are recycling it.

(I've run out of ideas from the Guide.)

And your clan sucks RvW!

(Paul = Guillaume. I'm playing real-time. Can't get a game easily with Guillaume.)

i have no idea if this forum is sarcastic since alot of poster behave like this. funny post.

Ehm, who are you Paul? I can't remember having seen you on the forum (and certainly not this thread) before!? (Well, unless you're an alt account for Guillaume of course.)

ps. All the green parties say recycling is good :p
pps. Ehm yeah, except that I'm not on any clan...

How can you tell US not to write long posts???

I'll reply to you when your vacation ends.

Just wondering why Gui called his topic *Don't be a Bastard* while his name means William the Bastard in French, or **William the Conqueror**, as most of us know him.

Either it is incredibly well chosen, hinting that by following the guide you won't meet Gui's standards, or it's just a lucky shot.

As for the topic's content, I like the concept. Warlord apparently doesn't see it's not a genuine advice: Gui is often criticised for using many words and now mocks those people.

However, there are some methods he mocks that he uses as well. The use of Latin, as RvW pointed out already, is a good example, although bèta-male and homosexual are indeed derived from Greek.

And actually, it's pretty hard not to use Latin terms, since Latin, through French, which came into England thanks to **William the Conqueror** (oh, the irony!) has sunk its teeth into the English language and left some scars.
It would make more sense to make this point in the Netherlands or Germany, where French and Latin terms **are** often abused to sound more intelligent.

And I don't understand where the clan remark comes from either...

If you have a problem with a player, just blacklist him.

(I didn't actually read the post, it was too long, so I gave a generic answer, was it on point?)

Er, no, the post is a satirical guide in which Gui impersonates his rhetorical opponents, like RvW and me. (seeing how lengthy yet organised the post is)

online drama is fun..!

+5 to the OP for using the word "interlocutor." -6 for using it so many times. +2 for being a funny post.
