Can you please explain to me how I've 'detached' and created my own reality.


To the best of my knowledge I just quoted your post. Are you saying that the post I quoted didn't actually happen?

Oh one more thing Empy.


This has nothing to do with M4D. I'll be honest, I didn't even know TC was in M4D until recently. So hopefully you don't feel the need to stick up for him. I get that you're a loyal guy and want to defend your peeps, but is TC really your peeps?


Let the dude fight his own battles. He's the one who started talking trash to me. Don't come save him now that I've fluff slapped him. Let him figure his own way out of this hole.

Oh you're going to go with the diversion and deflection tactic, clever! Don't actually respond to anything I've said, instead make non sequitor statements that aren't valuable for anything more than a higher word count on a term paper.



I'll ask again.

What about someone posting a gif on a forum makes them 'detached from reality'?


Or if you'd prefer you can just admit that what you said didn't really make any sense, and we can move on. Your choice.

TC - you might be my new favorite person.

I absolutely adore your lawn chair psychology you engage in. It's better than watching an episode of Law and Order SVU. The creativity with which you make up things that you think sound like brain type things is excellent.



Can you please explain to me, how does someone posting a gif from the internet to make fun of you indicate a 'detachment from reality'?

I wish I could post gifs here, directly.

Ya'll know that taylor swift 'yea, sure' gif?

Ohhhh, mr. big shot genius intelligence man is now all of a sudden trying to be funny.


Come on TC, I thought you were going to tell me you had a clinical psychology degree and were an expert at reading people. Or maybe you worked in the military and did profiling. Or perhaps you were an academic and spent your time researching behaviors.


I'm absolutely, positively, stunned. You're not any of those things? You just talk non-sense about things you don't actually know anything about? Wow. Who would have guessed it?



You know any monkey with a keyboard can construct sentences that, at first glance, appear to be intelligent. The problem with doing that though, is that when actual smart people read what you write, they quickly realize that your amalgamation of words is devoid of quality ideas, logical reasoning, and ultimately a reason to care.


In other words, you write stupid. Your ideas are bad. You dum-dum, not smart-smart. Quit trying to act like the smartest kid in class, we are all experience that 2nd hand embarrassment you get when you see someone make a fool of themselves and you can't handle it.

TC - what do you do for a living? I expect your answer to blow me away, but I'm sitting down, so hit me with it.

You know TC - I've never tussled with you before, as you were always on 'my side' with regards to the Laf vs Mercs stuff.


But I gotta say, you're a real... special person.

I think the most succinct way I would describe you is you are the smartest dum-dum in the classroom. But sometimes you're allowed into the AP classroom, with actual smart kids. And you think you're also the smartest kid there. But you're just.... really really not. Like, so astoundingly not that the actual smart people look at you in amazement. It's really something quite special to behold.

How would a player's tag be meaningful under those rules?

If you have a suggestion to make techer more balanced I will consider it. The server isn't live yet so it's not too late to make changes. Perhaps it will help to know that the npc countries on this server will not infinitely buy tech like they do on the Alliance server. They only buy tech at prices that they think will benefit them.

Would you be so kind as to post the optimal farmer strat then? Since all players are going to play optimally anyway there's no harm in you posting it, right?

There are a number of things that players can do to mitigate the higher SS cost:

* doing a tech start
* getting offensive allies
* getting medical tech, weapons tech, and mstrat tech
* having your clan get a sufficient number of spy ops
* saving turns
* building cs later than usual
* playing as the right government. dictatorship is the obvious choice to reduce the cost of SS but there are others that are helpful

Your ending networth is entirely up to the choices that you make. I expect elite players to make the right choices to maximize their networth. If anything, I expect this server to be more competitive than Alliance in that highly skilled players are better able to distinguish themselves.

Oh no, I get it just fine. I ruffled some feathers, and now a bunch of people are butthurt.

TC - You're right. My mistake. My behavior has declined. I now run even more multis. I access databases (learned that from you!) and I'm doxxing people throughout the community.



Oh fluff, no. I haven't done any of those things. So what are you talking about?



Are you saying that because I say things that M4D doesn't like on the forums, that's indicative of a behavior decline?


Because I have purposefully made enemies, and the enemies keep arguing with me? You silly silly goose, TC. You're smarter than that.

I'm not expecting everyone to behave as I am. I'm expecting everyone to be held responsible for their actions.


And yes, I could have stayed quiet and never told anyone about using multis. But I chose to turn over a new leaf and ask for forgiveness from the community. Is that a... bad thing?

TC - Are you trying to say that because the server doesn't know what the optimal turn optimization is, it's not competitive?


I think one of the things that hurts the game so much is that it is a 'solved' game. The more we can break that solution, and force people to make decisions on the fly, the better.

does this mean it's pointless to sell turrets, troops, and tanks and buy turrets, troops, and tanks, because you'll never get attacked?

TC - I actually think the prospect of proxy wars is interesting and would be fun.

What incentive does a large warring tag have to grant a UNAP to a small netting tag? I'll admit that sending tribute isn't much of an incentive but I can't think of anything else.

Can you explain what you mean by "cross tag FA as an abuse"?
