~/Coolio Prime\~ Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Sarcastically stating that I am not surprised that Crab is being sarcastic.Dude' date=' re-read your sentence. It's obviously supposed to be insulting him. If you weren't trying to insult him and were being sarcastic by saying something that would be just the kind of thing you were going to say, and you were trying to say that you weren't surprised Carb was being sarcastic, you would say something along the lines of, "Wow, Crab is using sarcasm, that's new." So either you weren't actually using sarcasm or were using it in such a horrible way and completely off from the way you usually use it that one could assume you were serious.[/quote'] Please realize that sarcasm can and often does move beyond the limits given in your post. The purpose of sarcasm is to create a way to insult someone but so that they may not understand that you have insulted them. You are obviously one such person.Sarcasm is used to the same effect as, "I read 150 words about you in Us Weekly, and I feel like I know you already." It is an insult, but can seem like a compliment to someone who does not properly understand the statment.Keeping sarcasm to the limits given in your post becomes reptitive and boring, so licence is taken to expand upon the given idea and personalize it.It does not make the given form wrong, it merely makes it a differerent version.But to people who do not properly understand sarcasm, or who do not have a proper appreciation for nuance, this point is missed, and they instead derive ideas to which they respond as you did in your previous post.Cute little ramble there, but you in now way insulted Crab. If you were being serious you would've been insulting him to some extent, but if you were sarcastic then you would've just been saying that you weren't surprised that he was being sarcastic, which is a stupid and pointless statement, and the former would make far more sense. So:a. You were serious.b. Your statement was so terrible I was thinking too highly of you by assuming you were serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, I'm done arguing. @Tea, yes my point was mainly about LS and Tele-DAD, LS rewards high risk taking unfairly, by having cards that naturally benefit from unrestrained milling.Tele-DAD is a low-skill, easy to run, very fast and strong deck, and so again shifts the balance away from skill.

werewolfjedi Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Tele-DAD takes skill. It just doesn't take enough skill. if you want a gauge, he is an example. my little brother, who doesn't even know half the rules, can use and beat people with properly made decks that just don't happen to be LS, another DAD, or zombies.it's kinda sad.
