High-Power Ammunition compability Question Options

[almost normal]

So you bring up a thread that's over a month old because... Nevermind. Your butthurt trolling isn't worth the effort to respond to. Stick to the topic, or take your whining to PMs.

1. Personal attacks, flaming, trolling, and baiting are prohibited. This includes any form of racism, sexism or religious intolerance.

Don't respond to flames, report them.

BTW: Reporting an issue, then turning your flame on does not give you immunity; rather it serves to piss off the mods.

I would observe that if you are attempting to make a reasoned argument about a subject, there are a number of behaviors, buzz words, and overtones that probably feel good to toss into what you're writing, but in reality actually serve only to weaken your argument.

It's because the inclusion of such words and phrases triggers an emotional reaction rather than a logical one. From that point onwards, the discussion starts becoming less about the actual subject and more about the wording of people's posts.

"Butthurt" is a relevant example. I have never ever heard anyone use that term and have the argument stay on topic. There's really no good reason to use it except to be insulting and dismissive. Therefore any reaction to it is going to be emotion-based and probably way off-topic.

You might have an excellent point to make elsewhere in your post, but it won't matter if everyone else in the conversation can't get past the thought, "Wow, that guy's being an ass."

I suppose the best advice is "Don't post angry". If you're frustrated or angry or even just strongly annoyed about a forum post, you know what? Don't respond. It's just a forum post. Continuing the conversation will likely only result in you getting MORE annoyed or frustrated. It's not worth the stress. If nothing else, come back later when things have cooled off.

You're right Redjack. Sorry.

You misunderstand, I was lamenting the infrequency of the glitch. Let's make some wild assumptions and say combat lasts 5 turns, you've got 3 passes. If you do nothing but shoot, that's 30 shots. I said "every few times', let's assume that's 4, so you're taking 120 shots, let's smooth that over to 100.

Yeah. 100 rolls of the combat dice pool seem like enough to glitch, wouldn't you say?

Lastly, if our mage wasted his spirit on using Guard, while I'll applaud his effort to self-balance, he's probably doing combat wrong anyway.

You're failing at reading comprehension, and it's aggravating to deal with. As I'm currently drinking iced coffee, and my girlfriend woke me up with a fresh pork roll and cheese bagel, I can handle it.

30 shots a turn turns into 120 shots, because I said every every few combat encounters, which I then expanded upon to say four combat encounters. I'm not sure in which universe of math you'd divide 30 by 4, but in this one, and conveniently in the SR universe as well, we multiply. Why is our combat lasting 5 turns? Hopefully because we've got a good GM who decided to make combat fun, interesting, and dynamic; alternatively, it's because my group and myself suck at combat, and the only one doing combat "right", is you.

Ok, so when you said "every few times" you actually said "every few combat encounters?" I'm sorry that you misstated what you actually meant then. The universe I divide 40 by 4 is the one in which "every few times" refers to the actual gun shots in the sentence preceding that statement, as is done in most of the English-speaking world - you seemed to intend "every few times" to mean "every few times you are in combat," not "every few shots out of the 30 I just said." Lastly, it's nice that you admit I'm better at combat than you are. I take da props where's I can gets da props.
