  1. No offense taken. Granted, it isn't my complete viewpoint, nor my own to begin with (Nietzche was the first, I believe, to publish this view). The only reason I was arguing was to demonstrate my rhetoric and, in doing so, hopefully improve others' logic as well. I am slightly insulted by the comparison to Icke however (based on wikipedia result) Why? I'll put it in the next post.

  2. Speaking objectively, it shouldn't be a problem, since Gordin doesn't exactly become a killing machine this way . That said, you don't appear to have banned arena abuse, which is understandable, since its much less safe in H5 (if I remember correctly), but still abusable? TBH, I think you should let it be, unless you really want to keep people from boss abusing (in which case allow CR to re-pick now, if he chooses, from currently available units [his fault for not bringing it up before he picked?]).
  3. I doubt many others here can claim to be from Indiana. Then again, why would they?
  4. Who said it was my way of thinking? See Nietzche I enjoy arguing useless (although unflawed) philosophies.
  5. Not what is your proof but what is proof? "It's all around you" is not a definition, but a vague description. The air and light are also all around you, for example. Is proof the air? light? I think not. also First, we have no guarantee that others exist, and the family member is a construct of the mind. Have you ever had a dream in which you couldn't control what was happening? I thought so. Once again, the subconscious creates others with which you can converse w/o the conversation seeming one-sided. And reality doesn't make sense, either. and yet war is a part of reality.
  6. You know what my team needs? A woman mage, Linde. Also, 13th, I salute your picking stratagy
  7. Hey, your pick in FE 11 Infantry Draft!

  8. So, what is proof? What is common sense? (to you, not wikipedia or a dictionary) I see lack of definitions in your argument. The problem is that when you step back, you realize that there truly is no valid proof to be had. You might claim evidence as proof, but evidence is always up to interpretation. You might claim witnesses as proof, but those witnesses might be lying/not exist/be wrong. And just because no evidence exists for something doesn't mean it didn't happen. Your claim, that everything happens to everyone, is unstable if those people are all a figment of your imagination (conscious or unconscious). And unfortunately people do die without anyone noticing. Granted, it's less common in our current era, but people do disappear. Unfortunately, there can't be any evidence of this phenomenon, (since if there was evidence, someone would have noticed). Finally, reality is illogical, everyone knows that. And your vision is most likely slightly worse than someone else's vision, and thus, slightly blurrier. Then is your perception of reality less credible than theirs? Creative thinking. You should try it sometime.
  9. Not THAT long TBH, but I logged on about 30 min after Champ's post, and figured you were just AFK.... until I saw you posted in the Banzai draft 30 min later >_<, which is when I pm'd you.
  10. Reality. I'm rather amused by the responses that say reality under the logic of "I would know it was fake". How do you know that you are experiencing reality right now? You respond, "Because my senses/my friend/my parents/the internet/the authority/I say this is reality." But how do we know these sources are credible? The truth is then we must accept some credible source, or go "insane" from accepting a somewhat less credible source. (My view of those in insane asylums is that the patients have accepted an approximation of the world deviant from the "average" view of the world and act accordingly, or the patients actually have physical brain problems) Aside: Isn't it fantastic that we can always view our environment to be real, safe, and secure because we can imagine a worse environment? Yes, I just Matrix'd this shit. Now, why do I believe reality to be better? I choose to accept the input that I am < the whole of humanity and should act accordingly. Then it is far more likely that my choosing reality would benefit the whole of humanity rather than choosing fantasy. After all, it's difficult to keep the human race running if procreation doesn't happen and no one/nothing protects us from external factors considered to be a part of "reality" (such as novae, another intelligent species, weather disasters). Now TL;DR version: Reality, because I am personally able to bullshit reality into fantasy, but not the other way around. And I'm scared of what I can't do...
  11. To all drafters: You might notice that it's been nearly a day since the last pick. Fortunately for 13th, I start work 30 minutes before the day deadline. He has until I get back from work today to make his pick, or I'll be forced to random.org one for him (gasp).
  12. The Speedier of the pair: Cord! (He also could be a Dark Mage?)
  13. Legault- Thieves are useful aren't they? Jaffar- Criticals Galore! Eliwood- The lord who is normally subpar Matthew-Knew I should have given you to Sam... Ah, well, in my book you're FAR better than Legault. Heath- What? a gift? Why, thank you!!! Also OMNOM Heath Bar Priscilla- Saves my early game with healing and long range movement. Might be even better late game with damage Fiora- Yes, she's a flier, but why did she go so late??? I personally would've preferred Kent to this
  14. Attention Drafters! The order has been decided, courtesy of random.org. 1. PKL 2. Iron Champion 3. The Spanish Inquisition 4. 13th 5. CrashGordon94
  15. Sam ought to be osWIN-NING with this pick. Or is it Bi-winning?
  16. OMNOM Heath Bar. Meanwhile, Sam can have this late, expensive merc that also happens to fly. That's right, Farina!
  17. Hmmm.... Guess I don't need Legault anymore...
