Topic: Whats the rule for paintedness in GW stores

[Fandir Nightshade]

It breaks down to different viewpoints on the matter and how one of the parties try to enforce their view on the other party.

It is about friggin paint on some toy soldiers i dread the moment we are all drunk and someone starts to talk about religion or politics 

[rufus sparkfire]

Arguing with Finlay and Obi helps a lot!

For them also.

Yeah, but if that keeps you from playing

I didn't say that. I love extended arguments too. It's always easier to argue against what you want someone to say than against what they actually say.


Also, people who don't paint their miniatures are afraid of change. And paint costs less than fueling the space shuttle, so that's no excuse either.

Drop in a really rubbish dick joke for the shadowlord factor, and you have the perfect argument for painting.

No, I didn't mean you
I think I've got the meaning behind your crankiness figured out after these years. At least partly.

They are also commie bastards who cannot prove evolution and believe in silly religious texts.

... umm... I got nothing.

[Fandir Nightshade]

... umm... I got nothing. But I love Mathis with Ding Dongs....

there you go!

[Obi]

I think fandir got so many posts by only registering 6 months later than you, rufus.

Well I am right because I have more post counts than Obi....

Well, actually, no, that does not make you right. Nor does it prove evolution or make you a veteran gamer.

[Gneisenau]

But it rids him of any chance whatsoever of becoming a LPCH...

I'm not cranky. I love this stuff.

Brain-meltingly phrased arguments are what make the internet great.

No, I didn't mean you

You are guilty of using a stored-up argument then. You had something you wanted to say anyway, so you were happy to use a dubious pretext. It doesn't work very well on a forum, because people can look back over what was actually said.

A semi-comic analogy is a great way to score some undeserved points though.

But he seems to have gained a large number of them only recently. In my perception, anyway.

Dubious pretext? I simply used your rather meaningless statement to tie in something I had wanted to say earlier. If I'm guilty of anything, it's of not using a better post than yours for quoting. But since it is yours, you're hardly in a position to complain...

[rufus sparkfire]

Yes, that's what I said you did.

One of Finlay's ones about shooting people in the face if they don't paint their miniatures would have been more suitable.

[Gneisenau]

Yes, that's what I said you did.

And I didn't say you didn't. I was commenting on the "dubious pretext".

As a general rule, I try to avoid embarassing people, especially when they are so able to do it themselves.

[rufus sparkfire]

I was commenting on the "dubious pretext".

It was dubious because your comment was nothing to do with mine. But you made it look as if it were in order to launch your argument.

[Gneisenau]

Oh, it had a lot to do with yours. That it is less fun (that's what you said) does not mean that it is no fun (that's what I said). So I actually used your statement as a steppingstone for mine.

Agreement and contradiction are not the only non-dubious ways of responding to a statement.

[rufus sparkfire]

That it is less fun (that's what you said) does not mean that it is no fun (that's what I said).

The funny (and when I say funny, I don't mean funny) thing is, I was replying to the statement that is was fun. I said it was indeed fun, but less fun. Then you shifted the whole thing back into binary by saying it wasn't no fun. Which was implicit anyway.

Now imagine a dick joke here so I score some more points.

[MrDWhitey]

Damn, what just happened here while I was asleep?

[Gneisenau]

Since I quoted tnumber as well - who had said that it wasn't no fun - shifting into binary was valid. It actually wasn't even shifting.

(and when I say funny, I don't mean funny)

Hooray for clear communication.

[rufus sparkfire]

Since I quoted tnumber as well - who had said that it wasn't no fun - shifting into binary was valid. It actually wasn't even shifting.

I was trying to shift it out of binary, but you had to go and shift it back. You are therefore not a human but some sort of malicious computer program. As I have always suspected.

[Gneisenau]

Why, thank you!

[rufus sparkfire]

Go play chess with yourself, HAL.

[Gneisenau]

Would you not rather show me your painted miniatures, Dave?

[rufus sparkfire]

Sorry, I have go check the airlock.

[Gneisenau]

I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.

[MrDWhitey]

So, back table then?

[rufus sparkfire]

I can't remember anything else about that film apart from a giant space baby, I'm afraid.

[Gneisenau]

Allegedly, that's all it was about anyway.

And for giving pseudo-intellectuals something to interpret.

Yes, I deliberately missed this perfect opportunity to make a dick joke.

[warhammerlord_soth]

America is no longer a colony.

It is claimed the earth revolves around the sun.

Plate mail offers no real battlefield protection any more...

I could go on.
