Guys, do you really need to point out several times each that he's wrong? do you think the first "you're wrong" was unreadable, or is it now a matter of oneupsmanship and seeing who can make hime :more wrong than wrong?" It's not exactly a good way to welcome new players to the game or posters to the board. I am done. How about you Thorr? Headswillroll

Yeah I am done.
I wasn't trying to be as harsh as I now realize that I sounded. That's why I finished up with an actual rules quote for him.

Although James, you have to admit is was a little forth coming in the fact that when we all first answered the question, we did not have all of the facts. Then when we did get the facts, we clarified our resoning so that he could understand. It wasn't totally trying to tell him he was wrong in a lot of different ways.

What it was and what it looked like may have been two entirely different things. There's no tone on the internet... cultural differences... etc.

Question for you James. Do you know, or are you related to, or are you Kevin Hardy? Headswillroll

No to all three, but when I see an enthusiastic poster to a game that needs as many new people as it can get being ganged up on in multiple threads, and several times before he can have a chance to defend or explain himself, I figure I should say something.
If it were someone else (like you or Thorr for instance) I probably wouldn't bother because there's a lot of old school camaraderie around here and some friendly ribbing that goes with it. But I didn't get the feeling this was meant in fun between old friends, but was rather "I don't like your posting style, now there's an opening for me to dump on you. pew pew pew"
I've given him crap for posting short and meaningless replies to long dead topics, but he's said he'd stop and appears to be making an effort to do so. But on a board with less than 250 members and a game with (my guess) less than 2,000 players, driving people away because of a simple mistake seems like a very bad idea.

i know for a fact that I'm not a simple minded person , I'm easily looking threw the new mechanics of the game, isnt it not based over a system of sword fighting in the first place.

Did someone call you simple minded? I see where I said you'd made a simple mistake, but that's not the same thing.

I think Kevin's got two topics merging here, he got the "simple mided" card and text posted over in the "another immortal movie" thread because he seems to have missed a joke there, Irather prefer to think of Kevin as a cagey and wry soul. Cheers mate.

For the record, I posted a new version Simple Mind (it was not directed as an insult or anything, it was just something I thought of for the 2E environment that was inspired by the previous post.) It was actually intended as a legitimate suggestion.

It was actually intended as a legitimate suggestion. I thought it was pretty good, very interesting take.

It was my fault for leaving that in the same thread. No offense intended.
