Barbs strike again..!

[DeletedUser]

Ok I have quoted you twice but three times a winner maybe but to deny what is in front of us is silly.

I win, I win I win I win!
I split your post into like 8 parts!

Now you can read the quote here

And the word farming is where?
Your ability to miscontrue things is quite silly.
Just because a troop is less efficient doesn't mean the entire process is less efficient. If I can build 1 oil drill that pumps 10,000 barrels a day, or 5 that pump 1000, but all of my oil deposits can only provide 1000 barrels a day, which is the most efficient? The most efficient troop, or the most efficient process as a whole?

Now as for us not reading your quotes (sorry teachings) properly is very hard when you deny saying things that you wrote? As for disagreeing with yourself if I read your post (sorry sorry teachings) do you do this often I wonder?

Sadly, I'm not metal duck. However, were I him, I would probably mention that I've been rank once, so anything I say is like the light from god. (just to make this clear, in bold caps: I AM NOT METAL DUCK. Your ability to misinterpret my posts makes me feel that I should make that absolutely clear.)
But that aside aside, I didn't, you just twisted words, again. Whether or not you did this intentionally is not my problem, but whatever the reason, it and your comments make you come of as quite condescending, quite like nauz or mattcurr, just without the knowledge (obviously) to back it up.

Now I merely said why would you say sending swords makes farming inefficient on a low haul world?! Especially when you were teaching (yay I remembered) us not to build a smithy (so no axes) then surely swords would be the best escort to keep the sp alive?

I believe I've mentioned that the best thing was to recruit no troops (I'll add that this is after you get 30sp/10sw/10axe, so you need to recruit 10 spears). That hasn't changed, so you don't want to escort them with anything that you built. If all of those troops died, then yes, swords would in fact make the better escort. (heya, what a surprise, What I say in one post I agree with in another)

Now I truly spend no time thinking what you are thinking though might change this now pondering what you are disagreeing with yourself about :icon_eek:

Cool story bro, tell it at parties.

"I want cereal"
"No toast you monster"
"back away from the bread cupboard we shall dine on bacon and eggs"
"pfft eggs are for poor saps that disagree with themselves me I'm having pancakes as have some posting (edit: teaching to do today)

I'm American, don't you know I only eat dead babies. (since you might miss that that was sarcasm, here is an explanation: http://art-bin.com/art/omodest.html (oh wait, you might miss the sarcasm in my explanation. At least you won't catch it here either. I'll add an emoticon to help you (or 4) :icon_rolleyes::icon_rolleyes::icon_rolleyes::icon_rolleyes)

Now as for contradictions well you say swords make farming efficient then you say

And guess what, I use them. I think they are useful, and thus I use them. Although in this case that is cum hoc ergo propter hoc, since I use them because I got them for free, although I do in fact still think they are useful, and generally I think they are useful, and thus I use them.

Ok so you are teaching us generally and not about this world but still it could be reasoned that.....!

Keep reading...
I know you can do it.
Wait, no, no I really don't. You have yet to prove to me an ability to understand posts, you have come off as arrogant, foolish, and arguing for the sake of argument. Seems like you will do well.

As for what you said, since I actually respond to your comments, instead of making dim-witted arguments surrounded by a veil of idiocy and insults (note for the mod staff: she is not dim witted, her arguments are, there is a difference. I am loath to call her dim-witted, because I don't know her., nor is she an idiot, her arguments are shrouded by a veil of idiocy. Again, subtle difference).

I (would) use them here for the same reason as on a normal world: research cost, although that is even more important on limited hauls.

P.s. I have booked a spot to sit at your feet at the next lecture as I think your musings/teachings/disagreements with yourself would make a rainy day worthwhile.

You see what it is like to read a post with more condescension (oops, you might read that as condensation, I'm talking about a holier-than-thou attitude, not magically appearing water) than actual comment? So please, in the future refrain from your pointless garbage. I you want to have a dig at me, do it openly, if you want to have a discussion, do it without all of the pointless garbage you added to your post.


EDIT: @ above guy
Then you explained yourself really badly, but I'll admit I can read your post in that manner. Even so, it doesn't matter. You are then measuring resources per time^2, which doesn't matter anywhere. Efficiency of farming is only based on resources per hour, not resources per hour^2. Spears escorted by swords will be less efficient than solely spears by the same amount both at one square and 1000. Time wasted doesn't matter.
(although it does, but not in a way that matters to this argument, and it can be ignored, much like air resistance in HS physics, as the changes it causes are absolutely minuscule)

EDIT to mah EDIT: and since I am in a devious mood, tell me why it does matter. (the fact that the time wasted occurs doesn't effect gameplay, otherwise why would you farm outside your 7*7?)

Erm... You say I explained it badly then write that ^ are you drunk? Seriously rewrite it and Ill bother explaining to you why you are wrong again. I have no idea what you are talking about in that. You are the one who was orignally saying that swords were no good because of time wasted? Now you are saying time wasted doesn't matter? Have you done another U turn?

I win, I win I win I win!
I split your post into like 8 parts!


And the word farming is where?

Good grief!

Ok splitting a post into 8 parts is not what anyone was asking but well done you! You asked where did you talk about inefficient farming and I have quoted where you said that THREE times....

Then you say where is the word farming?! Well what on earth were you talking about if not farming?! I left the next part of your quote in just in case you miss (again) what I was driving at.

namely you pick up (apologies teach) someone for being inefficient and I was saying does it matter on a low hauls world where at the time your limit was what 3k? That was all I was saying....

As for eating babies for breakfast for being American am not sure how you came up with that or what your nationality had to do with anything?

Good strawman argument as per normal in the rest of your post. However in case you wonder why I find your teachings so amusing it is because you put yourself up to flame/teach/ folk and yet you say things like this (but deny contradicting yourself)

As for your constant contradicting yourself and other points I think that others have answered well, and will leave them to explain instead.

your reply...

Except for when I misspoke, I did in fact build 10 sp :icon_redface:

So you never contradict yourself until you do.

Right enough of this if you feel the need to continue this you have my skype or you can pm me. I feel, with a sense of dread, you will reply so keep it to my initial reply if you must to your comment re inefficient farming (if you can find where you said it).

Having read every post carefully and considered the responses I've found myself building 4 spears...

Should I just quit?...

 

[DeletedUser]

Time wasted = arguing on this thread. Will continue with the game and let everyone do it however they want and feel they have the 'most efficient' system if they wish. Good luck to you all.

1. Nearly that entire post was tongue in cheek.
2. I've said (repeatedly) that swords>axes for splitting, in this world and in general, and explained those reasons.
3. you've continued to argue, when I don't understand why.

1. Of course it was :icon_wink:
2. Repeatedly you have denied saying what you said and even better denied was about farming. Never have you answered the fairly basic point raised.
3. Only because of point 2.

However, let it go. Did say skype or pm me.
