Visualizing balance in the simplest way possible

Avilo in his heart of hearts believes there are hackers everywhere. A love for satire is not the same thing as paranoia.

Kelthar was the one who told me that Shonix/Cheesecake was Anesthetic. Think about that as you read the following quote.

I don’t know who Kelthar is, but he has an extreme hatred for me and loves to troll my threads exactly like Anesthetic. He admitted certain accounts that were Anesthetic’s. Now he’s pretending that never happened while he trolls the thread hand-in-hand with an account that is definitely anesthetic.

twenty characters is three two short with one space.

Yeah gotta love Kelthar accusing me of being paranoid as he vehemently attacks me with years-old quotes that he either saved or spent an exorbitant amount of time trying to find. He proved the very point he was trying to disprove. Apparently using my eyes means I am paranoid. Lmao.

I don’t know that it actually believes what it says. It’s admitted to being little more than a compulsive sass-blaster, so why wouldn’t it just take a position contrary to another, for no reason, and then stick to it beyond what others might consider reasonable? He still hasn’t even admitted that he was wrong, and he says stuff like this

implying that a thing that is difficult is a thing that is not a worth doing.
Sad. :rofl: :rofl:

I don’t even want to imagine what it must be like trying to plan your finances when your earnings depend on your performance against another person. I’m happy with my steady wage earning a reasonable amount, and tip my hat to the people who can take a game and go professional and stick with it. Why would anyone do that? There’s a safe path through life, and most people take it. It almost seems like a rhetorical question, in that the answer is so obvious it’s nearly staring you in the face, with all of the parallels it has to different activities.
Why do you climb rocks, batz? is it ez? Fk no bouldering is hard and requires physical and mental discipline, so why do it?

Also, i swear people here just throw out the phrase strawman like it’s some kind of gotcha or trump card. Ridiculous.

He told you shonix was my alt account, not cheezecake iirc.

There’s no way. The lack of intelligence and critical thinking needed to support the BS he pushes means he’d be incapable of using a computer. He’s smarter than that merely in his ability to write grammatically correct sentences.

That’s a pretty good description of both him and anesthetic. A guy from the old forums called “Flack” had a different interpretation of the way he acts which would be that he is genuinely invested in the conversation but his ego cannot let him admit that I have a point. He’d rather make a complete fool of himself being a contrarian than to just admit an obvious point.

You can see that happen with anesthetic above. He flip-flops his stance on whether the elo values have a distribution or not, and flip-flops what type of distribution it is. All while he screeches about how smart he is, how he has a degree, etc.

He told me that you were anesthetic only because I was suspicious of the way you and he were tag teaming a thread. He did it to avert the suspicion yet it had the opposite effect because he admitted to having a link to you instead through discord.

What are the odds that two random accounts on the forums have an extreme hatred for batz and also share the same discord? It’s basically a thousand to one odds.

He also says things like this ^, as though human behavior is 100% rational all of the time, and nobody ever smashed their head against a wall 100x cuz they thought it would break on the 101st.

because nobody with one of those ever made a mistake or lied on the internet.

Exactly. He throws out his supposed degree to cover for his gargantuan mistakes while he blasts a minute misunderstanding as proof his opponent is inept and never studied the subject (a misunderstanding for which he created the confusion, none the less). The contradictions are astounding.

In reality if he did have a degree he wouldn’t be so incredibly insecure about the topic. He’d say oh yeah you were right I misunderstood etc. A great example above was the distribution of the Elo values depends on what underlying distribution you use in the Elo algorithm you process the data with. He’s sitting there attacking me like I am clueless about how the Elo algorithm works because I said it’s logistic, without realizing I was the one who wrote the code to make it logistic!

He still hasn’t admitted to being wrong on that point, by the way.

This is literally an argument that batz used. The fact that you cant come up with an answer when it applies to zerg proves that it is a bad argument, which was the entire point.

At which point Batz just descends into trolling.

Kelthar: zerg is either easy and everyone plays it or it’s hard and nobody plays it!

Batz: that’s a black and white fallacy. How many people leave zerg depends on how hard it is. If it’s a little hard, then a few people will leave it - especially the lowest skill bracket. If it’s extremely hard, then many people will leave it.

Kelthar: Batz has descended into trolling!

Batz… its YOUR argument. The whole point is its a bad argument. The more you post against it, the more youre proving my point. That is the entire point of flipping it around and applying it to zerg.

Using a black and white fallacy as a straw man of my argument is not proof of anything except that you are a troll.

Its your argument Batz. Any fallacies are inherent to the material you gave me. This is not hard. You claim zerg is the hardest race by far? Ok, then why isnt it a tiny fraction of what the actual numbers are? According to you, it should be.

No, it’s not. Your straw man is either everyone leaves or nobody does. My actual argument is that when a race is harder it makes people leave and how many people leave depends on how hard it is.

You are putting words in my mouth and anyone with eyes can see it. You are a troll.

Maybe because there are only three choices? If you look at character choices in MOBAs like LoL where there are 100+ characters to chose from, some of them are going to be vastly more difficult to play at all, and others are going to have a higher skill cap, right? But that doesn’t mean they’re never picked, and if there were more races, you might see a more pronounced difference in player choice, but there are only three, and there is a campaign for each of them. Assuming people played the campaign when they purchased the game, and looking at profiles a lot of people have, there are things called the rule of cool.

How come in 40k TT people don’t only play IF? How come people play nids or Tau, even when those races are garbage? Maybe they like them more, or they’ve invested into learning them. Some people are flavor of the week and will switch (blizzard profits off of this a lot in WoW with their ridiculous balance patching and selling character boosts) and other’s will struggle and stumble and scrape because they can.

I don’t have a horse in this race, but I really like the feral aspect of the swarm, so I’ll come back to roaches and hydras and lings no matter where I roam.

The more you argue against it, the more you prove my freaking point. Its a dumb argument. Every time you argue against it, you prove that more. Like… this is the entire point. Its not subtle.

If your point the whole time was that it was a dumb argument, why didn’t you just tell me that? I’m not going to waste time trying to convince you of the validity of my opinion; I’ve read enough of your posts to see how you treat people who you disagree with.
