RvW,

You have stated yourself that the 100% kill rate renders the luck irrelevant, so you yourself have stated a correlation between luck and kill rate.

In regards to Perrin's analogy and my sarcastic reply, his post reeked of sarcasm. Immature of me to reply in kind, but I bite sometimes, sorry. You state you found it accurate. Since when did chess have many variables to it? It is a terrible analogy as variables are very different to static rules.

I could have titled it 'kill rates' then mentioned that luck is affected by kill rate and some pedantic person could have complained the title and post didn't correspond. I should have titled it 'kill rates and luck' and then dear old Perrin would have been happy. Or better still just used the entire post as the title so they correspond 100% without any room for pedantics like Perrin to get his knickers in a twist.

I only started this thread to raise the issue and invite challenges not get into a namby pamby bitching clique. Perrin's points were both pedantic in the extreme and sarcastic and inaccurate. I note you only took issue with my sarcasm not Perrin's.

Anyway, that's my bit of childish pedanticism out of the way with. I have written this to demonstrate how a tedious continuum of pointless futile rhetoric can carry on, but let's all forget it and get over it.

Who cares really? We're all here to enjoy this brilliant game and disucss stuff for the betterment of the game and everyone's experience here so let's do that and stop with the idiotic pedanticism and bitching.

raver, my analogy is regardless of the many variants of warlight because..

your topic stated A
my top stated A
your first line(s) stated your displeasure with A
my first line(s) stated my displeasure with A
your 2nd line(s) stated variations that you prefer to play that solve A
my 2nd line(s) stated variations that I prefer to play that solve A
your final line(s) state a desire to play other players with your variations
my final line(s) state a desire to play other players with my variations

while my second response was a retort, while my original was merely an opinion is regardless.. your Retort seemed begging for one in return, since clearly the latter half of your post had veered from your topic...

Personally, I find a title something closer to *non-member method of bypassing luck* to be more useful to the whole of the post.. or *undesired luck settings* which would of given your post a foot to move into how you went to solve the undesired settings... just purely posting *luck settings* indicates your thread is intended to speak about *luck settings* and is misleading in context with the subject of your thread.
I had had no idea this thread would of become this.. disgusting.. from stating my honest opinion..
and like before, this post is entirely Imho

Yes it has somewhat, I agree with you there. Don't be so bloody pedantic then!!
