I'm in class right now, but perhaps sometime tomorrow i'll create a video showing the fact that straffing doesn,'t give much of an advantage.

Do as you wish. It won't prove anything to me though since some people use it better than others and in different methods. The fact of being able to do it is bad enough. I don't like getting in these debates because everyone already has their mind set and convincing them is very unlikely. The PC users will try to convince the iDevice players and vise verse. We're stuck with both devices on the server so might as well just make the most of it.

You can do this on an iPhone by pressing either the right or down arrows, and you can freeze by not pressing anything or a brief period of time.

Do you mean that the gani is different, and that makes it unfair? Would you rather the "idle" gani be used in the event of two or more arrow keys being pressed? That would require the player to stop and continue moving over and over as it is very easy to press more than one key when you aren't thinking about it. On the bright side, an iPhone does not have this problem, as one cardinal direction cannot be pressed at the same time as another. Therefore, the player seamlessly changes direction and virtually covers more distance over a period of time than a PC player would.

In this case, techniques are different, as some things are possible on PC that aren't on iPhone, and some are possible on iPhone that aren't on PC. In my opinion, the general iPhone advantages tend to point towards offensive movement and evasion... But that's just my experience.

Mmm... Sorry I really didn't understand this. I don't even know the definition of the gani as stupid as that sounds. Anyways though, my above statement partly applies to this.

What you're doing with your last statement is creating rules to the game that exist only in your mind. You didn't make the game. You don't make the rules. No one has to adhere to this fantasy land that you've conjured up in your mind where your opinion regulates what is and isn't fair in the game.

Anything the game allows is completely fair as long as it is consistent to all of the players. Every single player is allowed to access the game and spar by PC, and every single player is allowed to access the game and spar by iDevice.

It would be unfair if the staff only allowed certain players to play by PC.
Anyway, you don't refuse to spar on PC out of the goodness of your heart and to make it "fair," you refuse to spar on PC because you suck at, it or you don't have a PC, or you just don't want to win. Those are the only three reasons. Just be serious.

iDevice players (or at least you) cry that PC players have an advantage, and PC players can counter that by saying that you are disadvantaged. Does it make more sense for me to cripple myself and be a worse player (by your theory), or does it make more sense for you to bring yourself up the competitive level and play on the device that you claim has the advantage?

So, I'll say it again: If you truly believe that the PC is an advantaged device, you can either:
  1. Play by PC
  2. Improve as an iDevice sparrer
  3. Continue crying

Your choice does not affect me at all and I will continue winning because I am a smarter and better player than you. I am raising my hands in victory right now at the thought of how much smarter and better I am than you. I feel like a superior human, far beyond your level of understanding, intelligence, and competitiveness. Defeating you in this conversation was as effortless as it'd be to defeat you in a spar. You are a terrible internet gaming peon who will never come close to me and I am disgusted that we even play the same game.

You constantly yap about not caring yet you still here arguing lol what happen to not arguing with idiots? Did we bring you down to our level and beat you senseless? Lol?

As someone who has been active on both, I don't think there's any real debate that sparring on Facebook is easier than sparring on an iDevice. It just is, and the amount of people that switched from poor iDevice sparrers to somewhat average Facebook sparrers is a good example of this. People suddenly having an easier ride for not using iDevices has created an iDevice elitism. It is understandable, given that this version originated as an iPhone game and still consists of a 90% iPhone playerbase -- there's only ever 100~ Facebook players online.

Most of the pcrs arguing have allegiance to US so I don’t see the point of arguing when it appears that your leader agrees that it is easier using fb.
Quote:

Posted by Rufus (Post 296921)
Thallen is correct though, but I don't think most people are understanding it. If you hold this belief that Facebook is easier, and own a PC which most people do, then the only thing that is stopping you from using it is yourself. Your own pride, I guess. It is a platform that is open to everyone and it is an intended part of the game. Things like the leaderboards are divided up so that skill is not being measured between the platforms. I don't understand what the problem is, nor why arguments on technicalities are being attempted. You're not forced to spar each other and you're only limited to what devices you own and your attitudes towards them.

The game is not intended for people on iDevices alone anymore. I don't like it much either, and I am known for sparring on Facebook, but that's just how it is.

That’s a whole different argument from pc vs idevice.

I'm not reading 7 pages of this thread, so here's really the only differences from a non-bias point of view:

PC:

- Can wall run.
- Can quickly switch direction since the user does not have to slide their thumb from one "button" to another.

iDevice: More stable client.

Please???

Thallen 02-12-2013 04:10 AM

I feel like I've put together a thesis paper on this topic already, but I'm still determined to achieve the impossible and convince very unintelligent people of obvious things that I've already stated a dozen times.

If you've ever misinterpreted me as saying that I do not personally share the opinion that it is easier to spar on Facebook than it is on the iOS app, then you aren't reading my posts correctly.

I very clearly think that. Why would I spar on Facebook otherwise? Several other people in this thread have made the argument that they are both equally as easy to spar on, and that's fine. It's really a preference and opinion. Do you understand that? I will quote an analogy I used with Ash "I've never been a good sparrer in my life" Ketchum:
Quote:

You should try going to a bowling alley wearing bunny slippers and then cry your delicious tears about how unfair the game is when everyone else is wearing bowling shoes.

Do you need more analogies on this very specific and integral point of the argument? Are my posts too technical or something?

You guys continue to point out the claimed advantages that PC has over iDevice. Yup, PCers can strafe. Yup, some would argue that the keyboard is a better peripheral for sparring that the touchscreen.

ATTENTION
So why are you using an iDevice to spar?!
ATTENTION

You guys have repeatedly refused to answer the question. I've quoted the following post about five additional times:
Quote:

Posted by Thallen (Post 295527)
"Let's spar. You spar on whatever device you're the best on, and I'll do the same."

Explain to me how you counter that statement and use the device you or your opponent is using as a crutch and excuse.

And again, as I've said 20 times before, it is for one of three possible reasons:
  1. You do not own a PC, which is no one's fault but your own
  2. You are a better iDevice sparrer than you are on PC, which is no one's fault but your own
  3. You fiend some sense of pride in sparring (and apparently losing) on iDevice, which is no one's fault but your own

When we reach that point of the argument, it is over with. You've admitted and acknowledged that you're aware that you can play the game as (in your opinion) advantaged as every other player, yet you continue to intentionally disadvantage yourself. That is the behavior of a loser, someone who is unconfident, and someone who knows they are not good and needs some awful crutch. You've realized that you are not a good sparrer and create a fantasy land in your own mind where you are a great sparrer simply because you use a certain device to spar on.

And now, allow me to predict the future:
  • Someone will come into the thread claiming that PC is an advantaged device, completely ignoring everything I've just said
  • Someone will come into this thread claiming that they spar on iDevice so it's "fair", completely ignoring everything I've just said
  • Someone will come into this thread suggesting I defy their own logic by sparring on an iDevice, completely ignoring everything I've just said
  • Very bad sparrers (such as GOAT, Ash Ketchum, Goten) will never be able to take responsibility for how bad they are at this game and blame themselves rather than the rules
  • I will continue winning spars while the aforementioned players are upset, confused, and in denial over their own failures in a 5-button game

The argument has been over and won for the longest time, I am just being very generous and taking my time with multiple different vantage points to try and convince a few people how very unintelligent and uncompetitive they are. I recommend Graal dating, button-mashing at forts, and collecting hats.

Okay, first off the only idiot here is you actually denying pc's don't have the advantage. Tyler even proved it with his video, and there were many points stated also. All you could comeback is "you're an idiot" but you wrote out a long ass post basically just saying this wasting everyone's time because you're posts aren't containing any actual defensive arguments.

Second why don't I use a pc? What kind of stupid question is that, I started iClassic on my iPod and I will continue to use an iDevice. This is iClassic key letter "i". Do I honestly care enough to start taking advantage of pc delay to play graal to increase my stats? No.

Try reading the thread before you leap in and toss out your two cents.

I've responded individually to the same people and their same "points" (and complete lack thereof) time and time again to be completely ignored and have my posts spammed out by people who can't spell four-letter words and haven't sparred a dozen times this week. I've exhausted the argument. I guarantee that you've yet to read a single one of my extremely long-winded and explanatory posts in the thread, and even if you had you wouldn't be able able to hold much weight in an argument like this because even you seem to be foreign to this discussion.

The fact that you think that the discussion that I am representing and speaking on behalf of is a matter of opinion and not a matter of very plainly explaining what the game allows, and is therefore fair, clearly shows that you don't even understand my argument and makes me question why you'd even want to pass judgment on an issue that is apparently very unclear to you.

So I'd like to ask you on your "opinion" on the topic of this thread, since you've chosen to interject and critique one side of it: Can you tell us what you think about iDevice vs. PC sparring, Jester Lapse?

Jester Lapse 02-12-2013 07:37 PM

PC and iDevice sparring is not equal, just as iPad vs iTouch is not. PC Clients suck and lag, skyridder does it a bit better than facebook. PC gives you a better sense of controls whereas on iDevice a simple finger slip could screw you.

I prefer playing any graal server from pc simply because of the advantage of having more view space than even ipad, better controls and easier to type. iOS is less laggy and more suited. They are different, therefor they should remain different spars.

Only reason I think era has not done separate spars on their server is simply because it is impossible to spar from pc there due to lag for the sake of comparing to other servers.

Great. Now that you've shared your thoughts on which device is the best to spar on, understand the the majority of this thread has nothing to do with that.

This thread is primarily a discussion of iDevice players claiming that sparring from the PC is "unfair." Since you've chosen to go down this route, I'll do the same:
Quote:

un·fair adjective \ˌən-ˈfer\
Definition of UNFAIR
1
: marked by injustice, partiality, or deception
The word "unfair" is not an opinion word. Please realize that before we progress in this one-on-one conversation. I can have the "opinion" that something is unfair, but fact and extremely basic logic can prove that it is most definitely fair, completely invalidating my "opinion" and causing me to look like an idiot. It's almost like trying to say, "It's my opinion that apples are the color orange." Maybe to your eyes they may look that way because you're misinterpreting the color or you just don't know what you're talking about, but trust me, we can prove that the apple is red.

Graal supports multiple devices for any and every user. It is a constant. It is the same for everyone. That is the very definition of fair.

You seem to be responding more sensibly than GOAT and the others, so let me try to juice more answers out of you:
Do you agree that it is fair for any player to be able to decide what device they want to spar on rather than being forced to select one?

If you answered yes, congratulations! You've just agreed with every single part of my argument. If you answered no, please read this post and reconsider your answer.

I'll be here, eagerly awaiting your reply.

The word "unfair" is not an opinion word.

Absolutely. This thesis is key in a thread such as this, where personal opinion appears to provide a person with sufficient evidence to convince another.

This thread is so similar to the American government right now....

Lol wow you are sofa king read tar ed
No one is arguing about what device people should play on, the argument is basically pc have the advantage when it comes to speed/performance. Like i already told you i suck with pc, u shouldnt be affected skill wise in a device so lets have that match and then you can tell me i won because u were on a device and i was on a pc.

I tell Person A, "Would you like to use a knife or a gun?" He picks a gun.

I tell Person B, "Would you like to use a knife or a gun?" He picks a knife.

Person A and Person B fight. Person A shoots Person B in the head before he can even get within distance to stab him.

Following the logic of a huge portion of this thread, you would claim that the fight was unfair. But can you explain how it was unfair when both were given the exact same choice?

Person B chose the knife. Does this elementary analogy do it for you? Can you now see why I think some of you are just flat out whiners and idiots for choosing to use the iDevice when you claim that the PC is obviously better?

You never cease to amaze me, GOAT. I am truly stunned and in awe, so much that I can't even bring myself to quote your last post. You are absolutely dominating me with pure, eyes-closed stupidity right now. You're facetanking every logical thing I say and countering it with, "HAHAHAHA, I'M WAYYY TOO STUPID TO EVEN WANT TO CONSIDER THAT." You are an insanely skilled individual in this regard.

I am begging you to be smarter and digest my posts. I am desperately pleading for you to grasp these concepts, but I am slowly giving up. A few more autistic outbursts from you, and you will have won. I will have to admit defeat.

Great. Now that you've shared your thoughts on which device is the best to spar on, understand the the majority of this thread has nothing to do with that.

This thread is primarily a discussion of iDevice players claiming that sparring from the PC is "unfair." Since you've chosen to go down this route, I'll do the same:


The word "unfair" is not an opinion word. Please realize that before we progress in this one-on-one conversation. I can have the "opinion" that something is unfair, but fact and extremely basic logic can prove that it is most definitely fair, completely invalidating my "opinion" and causing me to look like an idiot. It's almost like trying to say, "It's my opinion that apples are the color orange." Maybe to your eyes they may look that way because you're misinterpreting the color or you just don't know what you're talking about, but trust me, we can prove that the apple is red.

For one, the apple is green, perhaps even yellow.
Unfair IS an opinion word. Want me to prove it? check the spoiler, if you don't care then skip it

Spoiler

Lets take another opinion word, dirty.
http://www.thomasmeares.com/photogal...n%20Houses.JPG Now, most people would consider a living situation such as this to be dirty with dirt floors and mud walls. However, for some people this is normal, they eat off the floor, they drink from muddy water. To them it is not dirty, it is everyday life. It is normal. Dirty is a word that is used as judgement, not observation. An observation of this picture would be facts such as the floor is dirt, the roof is straw, etc. As soon as you put opinion into it, it becomes a biased statement.

Now that you have that concept on your mind, lets take the word unfair. Now, for someone it may be unfair that their older brother gets to stay up later than they do, but maybe for other younger brothers it is seen as fair seeing as they are older. Really, the term fair and unfair could be used in numerous examples that prove to be based on bias and PERSONAL EXPERIENCES . Some people have seen things others have not and can base their opinion using knowledge not everyone has. Is it fair that america exploits illegal aliens? Is it fair that the US even has a border to begin with whereas other countries (not many) let people in willy nilly? Is it fair that people in mexico have to live in a drugged out environment that America keeps them in because of border policies? Some would say yes, others would say no baised on personal beliefs and experiences. "unfair" IS an opinion word.


Now for what I personally believe, is there not rooms where iDevice and PC players can spar each other? IMO there should be at least one of each, iOS vs PC, PC vs PC, iOS vs iOS. That way people can choose what they want based on what they personally believe to be fair or unfair :)

invalid really, some people are forced to play on one or the other because their iPod broke or their computer is fried. This does not apply to everyone, so really this point makes no sense.

That is a terrible example, actually. Just because it is popular to use words incorrectly in casual conversation does not mean that it gives new definition to the word.

Fair and unfair have nothing to do with bias, personal experience, or opinion. Sorry to put it bluntly, but you are just incorrect. Just because someone says or agrees that something is fair or unfair does not mean that it is or isn't, nor does it mean they are using the word correctly.

It would be completely unfair for the older brother to stay up later than the younger brother. Why? Because only one side was given that choice. Thus, it's very clearly unfair. Don't you get that? Just because the older brother has the "opinion" that it is fair doesn't mean that it changes the reality of the situation. It is very clearly unfair, and the equation proves it. Fairness can be proven in any situation. In conversation, you can use the words "fair" and "unfair" to try and personalize a situation, but you're taking away from the true meaning of the word. You are making a huge mistake in allowing one's dialect to alter the true definition of a word.

If they are forced to do something by anyone or anything other than the game, the game and its rules are still fair. You need to accept this concept. Life is unfair, bro. It's not my fault or Graal's fault that you don't have a PC or that you broke your iPod, and it doesn't affect the fairness that the game offers to every player in any way.

Your argument is then reduced to, "It is unfair that you have a PC and I do not." I agree, it is unfair. Why is it unfair though? It's unfair because of choices or mistakes that you've made. Not me, and not the game.

Lol ur ******ed
Ur to stupid to even the understand the argument. The argument has never about not wanting to use a pc. People play on whatever they want and the fact still stands pc s are stronger than idevices.
I tell Person A, "Would you like to use a knife or a gun?" He picks a gun.

I tell Person B, "Would you like to use a knife or a gun?" He picks a knife.
Person B had two

Fair and unfair have nothing to do with bias,


Again the dictionary
fair1 [fair] Show IPA adjective, fair·er, fair·est, adverb, fair·er, fair·est, noun, verb
adjective
1.
free from bias, dishonesty, or injustice: a fair decision; a fair judge.

so it is safe to assume the word unfair, being the opposite, contains bias. Really, if you wanted to you could twist anything to seem fair or unfair.

if fair and unfair is so cut and dry, then why is everyone divided on it?

?!?! It's like you're proving MY point. YOU are misunderstanding the things that you are citing.

The dictionary agrees with me that the word "fair" represents something that cannot be affected by bias.

So yes, unfair would clearly mean that something may include bias. My claim that it has "nothing to do with bias" means that your bias cannot effect the state of how unfair something is.
As in, you cannot say, "Nah, I don't think that's unfair," when you give one person 3 grapes and another person only 2 grapes. Basically, you're being biased about bias, and when bias is even included in the equation then clearly it's unfair. Are you following me?

I don't need to click your link because again, you're taking the discussion of others and trying to substitute dialect for vocabulary. People will always casually misuse the words "fair" and "unfair" for the lack of a better word.

Jester Lapse 02-12-2013 08:48 PM

ok well then the only fair thing is what I said about different rooms. Free from bias, all options are available and people can choose. Idk why you're still going when what I said basically assimilates what you were trying to say lol.

Thallen 02-12-2013 08:53 PM

Sounds to me like you're agreeing with everything I've said after making a post where you question my intelligence. Either we're both idiots or you just spoke too soon, I guess.

In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter because several people in this thread have made up their mind that they will be relentless in refusing to cooperate with certain parts of this argument, no matter how logical the viewpoint is. I'm completely willing to read and try to understand anyone else's take on the situation, I just haven't seen a single argument thus far that I can't counter by quoting something I've posted earlier in the week.

You guys can keep offering your "opinions" as long as you can manage to control yourself when I reply with facts to contradict or challenge them.

Rufus 02-12-2013 08:59 PM

This 'discussion' is dragging on a bit.
> People say that PC has an advantage over iDevices
> Thallen says that if PC has an advantage over iDevices, use PC so you're not disadvantaged
> People respond and say that's not the topic
> ???
> Repeat over and over
Like really, is anyone actually reading what is being said in this thread? You're all arguing over something which everyone (bar the few that tried to argue technicalities, but that hasn't been discussed in the last few pages) has agreed upon.

Seems you are the one lacking intelligence, or the "ability to understand" seeing as you are so narrow-minded only listening to yourself and take into consideration only what you have to say, not others. Everyone else is responding to your points whereas you fail to respond to others with anything other than "du u evn spar bro?!" Kindly learn the words you use before using them.

Admittedly I did read the last 2 pages only, and within those last two pages you just made yourself seem like a total prick. If you have nothing further or different to say, then don't? Everyone is allowed their own opinion even if it differs from yours. There is a difference between constructive conversations and arguments and just thinking you are right and everyone else is stupid which seems to be how your thinking is going at the moment.


I still stand by these based on the past 2 pages before I commented. I also disagree with you saying fair and unfair are set in specifications. Sorta like saying good and bad are also set in stone. I honestly have no interest in this topic at all really, sparring on era is more fun imo than classic. Just got tired of seeing stupid bickering and pointless crap that didn't progress the thread discussion at all.

PC and iDevice sparring is not equal, just as iPad vs iTouch is not. PC Clients suck and lag, skyridder does it a bit better than facebook. PC gives you a better sense of controls whereas on iDevice a simple finger slip could screw you.

I prefer playing any graal server from pc simply because of the advantage of having more view space than even ipad, better controls and easier to type. iOS is less laggy and more suited. They are different, therefor they should remain different spars.

Only reason I think era has not done separate spars on their server is simply because it is impossible to spar from pc there due to lag for the sake of comparing to other servers.

Well, I challenge you to give me any scenario and I'll tell you if a situation in that scenario is fair or unfair, and I'll explain to you exactly why. It won't be an opinion, either. It's that simple really.

You can't use the word "fair" like the word "fat." What is fat? Is 200 pounds fat? Is 300 pounds fat? Is there an official scale we should use that outlines the limits on the word fat? Fat to you could only be chubby to me. Fat is an opinion word when you see it by definition.

Fairness isn't like that.
I didn't want the thread to turn into an analysis of the English language, but whatever. I'm done for right now guys, thanks for reading.
