Frunk Posted February 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 I must question the inversion of the phrase "ganging up"' date=' as that is not a direct quote from me. What do you gain from this critically conversation?[/quote'] It seemed as though you were implying we were ganging up on a member of your board. Is this the correct interpretation of your statement? From the conversation, I gain the knowledge of knowing I was able to help someone somewhere learn just a little bit more about a card they probably never really care about a lot to begin with. Oh, no, certainly not, "ganging up" implies that the lesser quantity of the two parties is losing.

While it may appear as if it's a bunch of us ganging up on someone, or just one guy with hours of time on his hands, I assure you that is not the case. We come from a board where the small little clique of us thinks in a similar fashion. It's not about us "ganging up" on someone, if that is at all what you're trying to imply, but rather it is about us just trying to get others to think critically about the game I must question the inversion of the phrase "ganging up", as that is not a direct quote from me.

Seeing other people's opinions about a debated topic isn't a good reason for coming? As you noticed, this board's opinion differed from ours significantly.. Also, didn't this topic open with you warning us not to flame other people? If you consider my banter flaming you are gravely mistaken. Also, I know not what your board is, nor how it is different, but nor do I care. No, debating, considering this forum does not support debating, is not a good reason for coming. Where we come from, "bunch of lifeless lackies" generally counts as a flame. >_> Anyhow, we didn't start the debate; it was already here, so we joined in. Considering that the forum description says anything TCG-related is permitted and a discussion was already in existence, it's hardly fair to blame us for discussing the card. He were having a discussion, and we heard other people were having the same discussion, so we saw no reason not to jump in. Also, I was here before all this started; I just didn't use the forums, just the card creator program. Where you come from, guess what? We're not there! You may have joined this discussion and as far as I know turned it rather crude. Using the card maker does not obligate one to use the forums, which I'm guessing you didn't, and therfore this point is irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PikaPerson01 Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Oh' date=' no, certainly not, "ganging up" implies that the lesser quantity of the two parties is losing.[/quote'] We were merely discussing cards, and why they should or should not be banned. Discussion of individual cards is not allowed here? That is different how? It's game intended for young teens, anyone who plays it long after surpassing this age and still takes it that serious may be considered a lifeless lacky. I believe this statement is filled with ignorance. For one thing, it implies that those of us on this board are not "young teens".

RedSceptile Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 What don't we gain from winning this argument? I myself like an intelligent debate, and I gain a sort of achievement whenever I am the victor in an intelligent debate.
