I dont care whos right or wrong here but this whole thread is stupid and Uh has a valid reason to be annoyed. Hes stating an opinion which he is basically told is crap even though he sounds like he has experience in it (wether or not he does or its a valid tactic I couldnt care less).
And I stated my opinion. I gave lots of reasons for it, even. The anonymous (*) Uh basically repeated his claim with nothing behind it, and fails to address my main point: Throwing your con away trying to dent one or two pieces of Z's equipment is a mark of desperation. It's a high risk maneuver with a very small payoff.
He dosent need to prove anything - hes stating an opinion thats not something that needs to be proved
He does need to give some reasons if he wants me to believe him. Otherwise, I'm going to stand by my case: Ludi and Giddion may have dented Zorszaul, but he recovered just fine, with no real effect. He's either going to find his items again, or find the person who has them.
- especially since he posted an idea that was just shot down.
I think it's a bad idea. That is my opinion, which I voiced. It's the difference between watching two people debate versus reading one speech from each person.
> in a nutshell opinions are opinions people will and have a right to get annoyed with others if they arent taken that way (and I dont believe PB took that post as an opinion)
And opinions mean more if you can back them up with something. Otherwise you are, to borrow an expression, "preaching from your ass".
(*): Which means I have no reason to think his advice is above or below average, except based on what he wrote.
