Congrats Cat! Close one :D and Nitell with epic late run with seconds remaining!

GGs all!

I do love an arbitrary 20:1 retal policy 😂

Hahah glad you responded here. You've caused quote a stir this reset :)



I think as in-game ally to someone (and I try and mix it up) I might be inclined to attack someone who was going HAM on them. I have in the past (and I think I was purpled, been a while) and that's all fine, mods probably ought to take a hard line, because it's otherwise impossible to police i.e. fellow clan-mates on other servers colluding via third party channels to gain an unfair advantage vs two players that happen to be allied, that aren't sharing intel, and one of them is basically defending their ally in order to protect their countries interests (if my D ally is getting farmed, then I'm losing defense, and I want that to stop). For that reason I didn't report WarShrike (#67) which seems to be Cerberus. Hit me up, I like a D ally that is FDP! 😅

However, I will admit that I reported Don Diego (#65) and Cruel (#84) as soon as I saw all the DH b/c that looks shady to me. I was told there was no cheating, so I accept that and I bought more turrets (but mostly jets, as everyone knows they are the real MVP for defense 😂).

I chatted in game with #84 and they kindly revealed who they were, and said that they weren't 'dishonest'. Their strat/play-style checked out (xalrons a few resets ago anyone?) I'm happy to take their word for it. I much prefer the laissez-faire approach where possible in this game, and it certainly looks like everything played out as one might expect.

As much as I like co-op for pushing min-max netting, I know that actions and consequences are what keep things lively; looks like #78 bringing some more consequences right now!

Remember if you don't like the current reset, stick around, another will be along very soon :D

...and his mother was a hamster and his father smells of elderberries

Great finish that Vic! Miles ahead :D

Not even 40m lol

At first I was impressed, I assume good faith until I find out otherwise.

Now... not even a remote chance they are legit finishes, because why would they be. Seen it all before so many times on so many other games.

Doesn't even warrant breaking out Iron Mike imo :)

DETAH!

Username checks out 😂

Awesome! Not sure how much I had to do with it...

The advice:

"Get lots of cash and buy cheap military" 😂

Congrats Nitell, solid finish!

Thats a lot of grabbing for a sanctioned player?!

lol, more high jinx! I just noticed:

SuperFly Sanctioned All Explorer (#69)

The only logical explanation is that these are all SF multis 😅

Apparantly, I was wrong.

Facts are alway the funniest thing to post.

I've NEVER seen anyone trying to convince other people to quit the game.

I mean, who would do that? It would be extremely childish, and everyone around here is super mature. Especially me.

I can't imagine anyone having *that* much of tantrum over an online game 😂

Fair!

I am able to make a joke about it because I have spent a lot of time learning to deal with my own shortcomings. It is very likely that your comment might have bothered me in the past, but things like this no longer do.

However my ability to control my emotions, does not make what you did "acceptable behaviour".

When you try to make excuses for your behaviour this is tacit acknowledgement that you know it is wrong, and it is explicit demonstration that you refuse to accept responsibility for your actions.

I understand that self-accountability is hard, I know that this was an issue for me for a long time, and that it is something I continue to try and improve on — it might not seem like it, but I think that it can make a person feel better about themselves if they are able to honestly do this.

I think that trying to distract oneself from one's own shortcomings by focusing on the mistakes of others is tempting, and offers what appears to be immediate relief. In the long term, the only deception is to ourselves.

I'm not a practising Christian, I don't really consider myself to follow any specific religion, but I have found that many of them are good sources of wisdom. I was pleased to stumble across a bible verse the other day that seems relevant, Hebrews 4:13.

I tend to enjoy King John Version, which in this case reads: "Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do."

However that is a little inscrutable, so it's worth googling too to get some wider interpretation.

We all make mistakes, I'm certainly not perfect. it's what we do afterwards that defines us.

Also, it seems to me like the admins are taking things in fairly good spirits (despite claims to the contrary, from people that appear to have an axe to grind) a couple of light hearted jibes in country names that I can see in top 30 right now:

Deleted for Rules Violation (#63)
not banned but sanctioned (#65)

heheh.

Possibly more lower down, "under the bridge" where the trolls tend to live 😂

Do you think that the more anal amongst us didn't already verify the credibility of Mr Badonks claim? and I quote:

Ugo 01:11
haha, badonks throwing shade at SF <link to this thread>
whilst he has been a thorn in the side occasionally, who hasn't? and I am seeing a mere 3 purple in maybe 700+ rounds. Not the best netter out there, but a I think a "real player" at least 🙂

Ugo 01:19
lol I have 2 purples, possibly a higher "cheating" rate as percentage
I count 5 for SF!

So "spin" away Mr SuperFly — you are only deceiving yourself :)

@Badonks I say "not the best" with respect, FWIW: I think you've improved significantly and are definitely one the better netters in express right now!

classy!

oooh, I didn't even have to google translate that one!

I also love a good easter egg :D

thanks! oblig 🏈 all around (cash shortage with $44m NW 😂)

had no idea I was in the running when I logged in for destock!

brooo. did not realise it was you :)

Yes indeed! *tips hat*

Traded a few missiles too, love to see it!

How do you know it was a false accusation? How dare you!

rofl

I have it on good authority that Slag weighs the same as duck

I think we all know what THAT means

Enjoy this trip.

And it is a trip.

This is an opinion, and carries the implication that it is you that I [seem to] care about. I explained above what I cared about: it's me; how I behave what I should say; what I should do.



This is badly worded. It is a run-on sentence, that conflates two independent clauses. There is negation of the second clause mid-way through that introduces ambiguity, and it is phrased as a rhetorical question. This is an absolute clusterfluff of confusion, but I think it is actually just a mistake.

Breaking it down:

It is true that "[I am] here".
It is true that "[I am] not posting about you".

Making this a rhetorical question, is essentially the same as stating it as fact. i.e. "You are here, not posting about me".

This is true, because my post was about me. However, I don't think that is what you intended to communicate.

I think you were intending to use the "are you not" form but transposed not/here. i.e. "Are you not here posting about me?"

"Are you not" is the formal way of writing "Aren't you", and this expression has no "negation" component when used as a precursor to a rhetorical question. i.e. stated as fact it becomes "You are here posting about me".

This also true! It is incumbent on me to do good, and "to turn away from him is to tend to antagonism". The right thing to do was to offer you advice, but "It's just advice man..." - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8j9dtBVQJs



The fundamental flaw here is that you are affirming the consequent, by assuming that me caring is the only reason for me being here.

If P, then Q (If you care, then you are here).
Q is true (You are here).
Therefore, P caused Q (You are here because you care).

However, just because you are here (Q) does not mean that caring (P) is the only or necessary reason. There could be other reasons for being here, such as obligation, curiosity, or coincidence, that do not involve caring. Thus, the conclusion "If you didn’t care, you wouldn’t be here" (Not P → Not Q) does not logically follow, as it’s possible to be here without caring.

This is where equivocation comes in, inconsistently applying modifiers to try and refute this fatal logical flaw through the use of sophistry.

e.g.

Your premise (P1) is "You [seem to] care"
Your premise (Q1) is "You are here posting about me"

From the outset there was an inferred qualified premise (P2) "You care about me", and your conclusion introduces the unqualified premise (Q2) "You are here"

The stated conclusion is "If you didn’t care / you wouldn’t be here" (Not P1 → Not Q2) but the implied conclusion is the fully qualified: "If you didn’t care about me / you wouldn’t be here posting about me" (Not P2 → Not Q1).

However the problem with stating this conclusion explicitly is that it infers the conditional relationship "If you care about me, you are here posting about me" (P2 → Q1). Which more fully exposes the fundamental flaw, because I have already replied to you with advice on the basis that I am motivated to do good, and that this has nothing to do with whether I "care[s] what you have done, are doing now, or will do in future" in response to you talking about *in game* activity.

SuperFly can believe that I posted about SuperFly because I cared about SuperFly's in game actions, but I think SuperFly should have read my post more carefully.

Am I here posting about SuperFly because I care about SuperFly's in game actions?

The quote I posted above actually starts with: "Say to yourself in the early morning:" but I left that part out, maybe I should not have.

You have me mixed up with someone that cares what you have done, are doing now, or will do in future.

However I am mindful of the following:

I shall meet to-day inquisitive, ungrateful, violent, treacherous, envious, uncharitable men. All these things have come upon them through ignorance of real good and ill. But I, because I have seen that the nature of good is the right, and of ill the wrong, and that the nature of the man himself who does wrong is akin to my own (not of the same blood and seed, but partaking with me in mind, that is in a portion of divinity), I can neither be harmed by any of them, for no man will involve me in wrong, nor can I be angry with my kinsman or hate him; for we have come into the world to work together, like feet, like hands, like eyelids, like the rows of upper and lower teeth. To work against one another therefore is to oppose Nature, and to be vexed with another or to turn away from him is to tend to antagonism. — Marcus Aurelius, Meditations. Book II Part 1

And for that reason, I will take the time to say this (do with it as you will):

The respect that seem to be looking for cannot be found here from me, my country, these forums, this entire game or indeed anywhere outside of you. It is in you, and you are the one withholding it.

Once you give this to yourself, you will understand why you were not able to obtain it anywhere else, and how futile any attempt to do so was.

"I was baited" would be about the same level of sophistication as "She was asking for it". I don't believe anyone would ever genuinely take this position, which is why obvious troll is obvious.

The SF show has jumped the shark.

You could try actually playing the game, instead of just showing up every round as a backstory...

If it's any consolation you soaked over 200 DH before any real harm was done!

Great walling! Some "old school war" vibes in the chat today 🫡

I've been out of the loop with Express, thats a mighty fine rep casher there! Congrats.

I'm retracting my finger

Vibe netting into the t10, with AI and hookers

I think 2013 was probably the time to question this 😂

rofl

Primary is certainly a different ball of fish!

So close Lawrence, I've also had a good few second places to Nitell. He's a tricky one to pin!

SOL breaking the netting record: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_Pr6_MSkyo

What are allies for! 😂

nm. see your post now. no other netters in sol want to tag with you?

Now we have a netting server and a war server I'm much more inclined to play both and divide my attentions accordingly ;)
