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.
|
Already at this stage of my reading I have mixed feelings about the intention of your post. Here you claim that you have set together a thesis within the earlier pages of this topic and are attempting to clear up your previous thoughts in a single post. One who did not read your previous posts would not be entirely which position you are holding but surely they will learn soon enough. At the same time, this is where you lose your credibility; you begin calling your adversaries "unintelligent people" for not comprehending the "obvious things" you have stated beforehand. This destroys your objectivity on the issue.
|
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.
|
Here we begin getting a glimpse of your position; Facebook is "easier" to spar than on an iOS application. How is it "easier"? We do not know yet but being a centerpiece to your argument, you probably will explain it later on with hard facts.
|
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.
|
The confusion starts here. The reason why you claimed Facebook is easier really comes down to preference and opinion; Three sides can be taken in a thread called PC Client vs iDevice Client: the PC or the iDevice is the better client or they both perform equally. You clearly do not seem to support the uncommon viewpoint stating the iDevice systems are the best to spar with. This leaves you with the other options. You say that the egalitarian arguments are "fine" yet if a single advantage for a PC can be proven, the foundation of their arguments will collapse.
|
Do you understand that? I will quote an analogy I used with Ash "I've never been a good sparrer in my life" Ketchum
|
An attack on the character instead of the argument only makes a fool of yourself. Anyway, it is analogy time! Your first argument of the entire post will be before my eyes in a matter of seconds! I cannot wait.
|
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.
|
I am left disappointed with this analogy. If bowling would equivalent of the action of sparring while the bunny slippers and bowling shoes would be an iDevice and a PC respectively would this not imply that sparring is designed for the PC community while the iDevice players must suck it up. The point that "everyone is wearing bowling shoes" would mean that PC players compose the majority of GraalOnline Classics playerbase which on the contrary is the exact opposite. Why use such an analogy when you attempt to convince your readers that the centrist argument that only opinion and preferences matter.
Wait a minute... although you are using a terrible analogy, you are attempting to prove not which system is the best but rather that it is "fair" to use a PC in a spar match against iDevice players. Why did you not say so earlier?
|
Do you need more analogies on this very specific and integral point of the argument? Are my posts too technical or something?
|
No!! Please not another analogy where coincides with the game! On a side note, I'm pretty sure an analogy needs to be accompanied with an explanation in order to direct your reader to your argument. Perhaps if you thought of doing so, you would notice how weak this analogy is.
|
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.
|
So are these advantages or not? I'm pretty sure substantial evidence can back both of those you named. Why use the word "claim"? The more you concede to these advantages, the weaker your position ends up being by strengthening the argument for more boundaries between iDevice and PC. Having exclusive system benefits creates an unfair and unbalanced game. You will surely concede to this point correct?
|
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
|
May I give the reasons why I believe some people use an Idevice to spar? They don't own a PC. They are not in the proximity of a PC. They prefer the easy portability of an iDevice. They are a better iDevice sparrer.They believe the hassle of reaching a PC simply to spar is not worth the time. They believe that abusing of the PC advantages over an iDevice majority is unfair.A sibling may be using the PC at the moment.Consider your question answered. I'm positive if we all put our heads together, we can name plenty of other reasons. Many which you cannot be held accountable for.
|
And again, as I've said 20 times before, it is for one of three possible reasons: dYou do not own a PC, which is no one's fault but your own. You are a better iDevice sparrer than you are on PC, which is no one's fault but your own. You fiend some sense of pride in sparring (and apparently losing) on iDevice, which is no one's fault but your own.
|
You can add the few reasons I added to that list. I'm sure you can't possibly blame the iDevice sparrer when his PC is unavailable. (a sibling using it or sent to the manufacturer for reparations)
Now although I agree with your second and third reasons, the first is plain wrong. Playing of a specific system does not justify the unregulated use of system unique techniques such a strafing when in spar matches. Let's say a new client is released on the Android. This new client has an unsolvable and severe bug where Android players can instantly kill another sparrer in a single hit. Although the level of unfairness greatly differs, using your argument would be it is the iDevice and PC players fault for not sparring on the Android.
|
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.
|
Another long attack on the character.
|
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 first sentence of your post stated you already formulated your thesis within the last five or six pages . The thing you are forgetting is that a thesis is subject to counter-arguments, something you seem keen on ignoring. You can't expect everyone to share the same point of view as you. What are you trying to prove with this list? Everything retaining to this topic will fall in this list.
