Re: Scarlets Support Thread

Two people are in an auction for a token. Both players have to pay their bid no matter if they win or lose. The token is worth [X*bid A - bid B]. If both parties have a very close bid, the amount won by either player approaches 0. Assuming X is greater than 1, the winning player always profits. This...

Re: The Killzone

It would still be a system, albeit rules-light. Not every system has to be monolithic. First of all, real life is lame and restrictive. If a person has their leg bitten by a zombie, there is a deterministic time they will survive without treatment. If somebody attempts to jump, the system of real li...

Re: Rose, Scarlet Maiden (PP-Mix)

That's not a fallacy, just so you're aware. If anything, it would be 'just being wrong.' A structure does not retain all of the properties of its components. A property of staying still that is necessary for channeling contradicts a chaser hero, but this property is not necessarily derived by the h...

Re: Rose, Scarlet Maiden (PP-Mix)

Premise 1: Channeled skills are bad for chasing heroes. Premise 2: Crossfire is a channeled skill. Conclusion: Crossfire is bad for a chasing hero. I see no logical fallacy in that. The fallacy is in your first premise. Spells with a channeling component are not necessarily bad design for heroes th...

Re: Your NAME-

The FBI runs honeypot websites that track the IPs of people who visit them.

Next time you are trolled, be glad it was a rickroll or shock site.

Re: Wish Corruption

Granted, you have all the rainbow tables you will ever need. Unfortunately you have absolutely no idea how to use them, get caught attempting futile "hacks", then become immortalized on the internet as the butt of every hacker joke that doesn't end with "Hack the gibson!", a folk song written by Ric...

Re: Wish Corruption

Granted. You are a level 1 wizard that has wish scroll. You succeed in creating the item, but the experience penalty of wish drops you into negative levels. You die from having 0 maximum HP.

I wish the US had bullet trains.

Re: Rose, Scarlet Maiden (PP-Mix)

Dusk, you are committing the composition fallacy.

premise 1: red pigment is red
premise 2: The paint has red pigment in it
conclusion: the paint is red

It is very possible that a spell with a channeling component could work for a chasing hero.

Re: Wish Corruption

Granted. You gain power over death. However, the contract fine print stipulates that the power over death comes into affect after the other party owns your dead body, and with it all derivative works and properties. You live forever as a indentured soul searching for freedom, but never finding it. I...

Re: Your NAME-

It used to be that I never gave out the same email address twice. I always had a buffer of nine addresses, and if I used any, I would store its info in an encrypted file, then set up a new account, rotating services and name generation methods. I generally avoided people at school, so people swapped...
