I think I assumed you were ESL. English is full of awkard phrases.

I don't think I've ever heard or read "I am not sympathetic to...". That's much more commonly phrased as "I have no sympathy for...". On the other hand, "I am not unsympathetic to..." is pretty commonly used. For example "Kennedy was not unsympathetic to the plight of blacks in America"

Knew this was coming. I don't think you ever had a good connection and there are some peaches about who have no prob killing u link dead and taking your shit. (n/t)	funnyone	332	October 14, 2013 02:50AM
I liked you and felt sorry for your link dead pk. Fix your connection? Which legacy did you get? (n/t)	thomas	363	October 14, 2013 12:28AM
No way of narrowing that down..	Elystan	525	October 14, 2013 12:57AM
Why did you get a legacy on an anti-paladin? nt	crafteddeception	355	October 14, 2013 07:26AM
Having big balls (n/t)	Elystan	321	October 14, 2013 07:29AM
Translation: pity legacy (n/t)	Quas	376	October 14, 2013 07:32AM
If immortals granted legacies out of pity alone, Aster would have had 12 of them. (n/t)	Matrik	360	October 17, 2013 11:40AM
ish. Not what the immteraction prior to it suggested though (n/t)	Elystan	335	October 14, 2013 07:35AM
it was pity. No anti-paladin get legacies. nt	crafteddeception	320	October 14, 2013 07:36AM
"I am not sympathetic to your plight" - imm who awarded me the legacy (n/t)	Elystan	343	October 14, 2013 07:43AM
Sounds like a mistake/typo	ExPaladin	395	October 14, 2013 10:32AM
Not sure if trolling (n/t)	Elystan	318	October 14, 2013 10:51AM
I never troll. "I'm not sympathetic to..." just isn't a commonly used phrase in English	ExPaladin	406	October 14, 2013 12:48PM
He's not.	wrathpuppet	410	October 14, 2013 12:46PM
Context	Elystan	368	October 14, 2013 12:52PM
That tells me I'm likely correct.	ExPaladin	475	October 14, 2013 12:59PM
No contraction	Elystan	362	October 14, 2013 01:02PM
I think I assumed you were ESL. English is full of awkard phrases.	ExPaladin	473	October 14, 2013 01:11PM
"I am not sympathetic to" places stress on the 'not' in the sentence (n/t)	Elystan	339	October 14, 2013 01:19PM
Actions speak louder than words, even in CF. (n/t)	wrathpuppet	366	October 14, 2013 03:16PM
Reason for con quest/legacy:	Elystan	348	October 15, 2013 06:44AM
Did you even get a control? If you did, it was no more than fire control probably. That's not exactly kicking ass.	Anti-Hero	380	October 17, 2013 02:58AM
It wasn't 'holy shit this dude is kicking ass, let's give him a legacy', but nor was it 'man, this guy is getting his ass kicked, let's give him a legacy'. That latter doesn't happen (n/t)	Elystan	321	October 17, 2013 03:19AM
Then what was it? (n/t)	wrathpuppet	326	October 17, 2013 03:51AM
There's no convincing you, it seems.	wrathpuppet	403	October 15, 2013 07:01AM
Direct evidence to the contrary being a bunch of people on the forum telling me that the awarding imm meant the opposite of what he said? (n/t)	Elystan	332	October 15, 2013 07:05AM
being a scion is about being alone and outnumbered. That is the playstyle. That is the fun. nt	crafteddeception	363	October 15, 2013 07:19AM
evidence being that nabor was unworthy of any reward because he wasn't actually succesful at anything	Quas	376	October 15, 2013 07:17AM
Why are you being so fucked up?	Death_Claw	340	October 17, 2013 06:35AM
I'm personally not trying to be mean.	Anti-Hero	398	October 17, 2013 08:30AM
Yeah but I mean...	Death_Claw	355	October 17, 2013 09:23AM
Man, how do you justify a reward to someone who sucks at doing what every scion has to put up with?	crafteddeception	318	October 21, 2013 09:34AM
If I came off Negative I didn't mean to.	Anti-Hero	427	October 17, 2013 09:45AM
Madoc: 25+ charges, Eidiol: 40+ charges, Nabor: 9 charges (n/t)	Elystan	342	October 17, 2013 08:42AM
He's still in character (n/t)	HairyOrangutan	282	October 17, 2013 06:43AM
Also	Elystan	367	October 15, 2013 07:46AM
Buy the PBF then and prove everyone wrong. I'm sure plenty are curious to read the imm comments. (n/t)	Anti-Hero	334	October 17, 2013 03:02AM
I already did (n/t)	Elystan	392	October 15, 2013 07:20AM
when he states that he is actually being so. nt	crafteddeception	296	October 14, 2013 08:18AM
Your log didnt exactly say that. nt	crafteddeception	350	October 14, 2013 07:30AM
two minutes does not define a 250 hour character	Elystan	368	October 14, 2013 07:33AM
I'm guilty of this too, so take it as honest advice...	Death_Claw	467	October 14, 2013 01:59PM
I wrote a post rejecting most of the advice as irrelevant	Elystan	346	October 14, 2013 02:26PM
Hmm...	Death_Claw	363	October 14, 2013 03:25PM
constantly playing squeezed APs doesnt mean having balls though. nt	crafteddeception	335	October 14, 2013 07:35AM
Must have been something else going on then (n/t)	Elystan	351	October 14, 2013 07:37AM
doon't worry crafted is a douche that tries to fuck with people for no reason. He is just mad cause most of his characters never get love cause he is again an asshole. (n/t)	tesline	350	October 14, 2013 07:48AM
a lot of my characters get someplace. nt	crafteddeception	377	October 14, 2013 08:17AM
To fortress, or level 40? (n/t)	Elystan	325	October 14, 2013 08:22AM
I think he had a leader in 3 or 4 cabals all at the same time once	Quas	354	October 14, 2013 08:51AM
I have no idea who any of his characters are	Elystan	401	October 14, 2013 09:07AM
Re: I have no idea who any of his characters are	crafteddeception	390	October 14, 2013 09:12AM
You took a lot of beatings as Howell	Elystan	421	October 14, 2013 09:30AM
Ekaerok had a hard on and mechanically i couldnt hit a skill on him that was not evaded. nt	crafteddeception	339	October 14, 2013 09:36AM
I actually named Madoc after a historical figure who had a son named Howell, so I always liked you for that reason alone (n/t)	Elystan	344	October 14, 2013 10:15AM
Alright I take it back. Your just a dick on the forums. Except for the svirf. He was a shit talker. (n/t)	tesline	352	October 14, 2013 09:14AM
I don't care how he pks or loots. He is just generally an asshole. (n/t)	tesline	391	October 14, 2013 08:58AM
;) How did i best hurt you? nt	crafteddeception	342	October 14, 2013 09:00AM
Doesn't treat my chars that way, given you seem to get dickish treatment more than most people	Quas	377	October 14, 2013 09:00AM
Well Quas I haven't changed my behavior and magically I am not getting fulled again or people being a dick. (n/t)	tesline	412	October 14, 2013 09:04AM
It's only been a week since your 40 full loots, get back to me in a month (n/t)	Quas	348	October 14, 2013 09:44AM
within that month it will be the same. I am playing a character where II have no reason to be involved with the same set of characters that acted in such a poor manner. (n/t)	tesline	349	October 15, 2013 07:27AM
(to the other dude) I helped your ap once with my vindicator. nt	crafteddeception	358	October 14, 2013 08:55AM
I don't think so?	Elystan	403	October 14, 2013 09:08AM
Just meant in general. Send me a pm (n/t)	thomas	349	October 14, 2013 01:10AM
Now I'm feeling guilty for not trying to get into scion to help you.	Murphy	382	October 13, 2013 03:55PM
Gratz on gettin into scion.	Zruulg	394	October 13, 2013 10:46AM
I'm actually 50/50 on doing another conjurer instead (n/t)	Elystan	374	October 13, 2013 10:49AM
Scion conjurer. Mmmm. Go for it. nt	Drokk	359	October 13, 2013 10:22PM
You need to stop playing only Anti-Paladins	Anti-Hero	376	October 13, 2013 09:03AM
At least half my PK losses were due to being linkdead, or because I'd just been looted because I was linkdead and was pissed off/not thinking clearly	Elystan	421	October 13, 2013 09:08AM
You didn't exactly rack the kills either though.	Anti-Hero	397	October 13, 2013 11:19AM
Yeah but with the gayest change to AP's ever you can't even get the control til late 40's right? n/t	jalim	371	October 13, 2013 11:32AM
It's a lot harder to earn them as you rank though. It sure is clutch to have them pre hero. 36 has some softies for targets. (n/t)	Anti-Hero	346	October 13, 2013 12:05PM
Fire control at 43, ice at 45, etc (n/t)	Elystan	344	October 13, 2013 11:35AM
Yeah, I don't think fire giant suited me	Elystan	386	October 13, 2013 11:27AM
Keep telling you not to rank so fast...	torak	440	October 13, 2013 08:25AM
Did a lot better at hero than I did at 36 or 40	Elystan	373	October 13, 2013 08:30AM
Get off the AP train for a while.	wrathpuppet	397	October 13, 2013 06:36AM
I can win CF	Elystan	439	October 13, 2013 07:04AM
Why? (n/t)	Artificial	373	October 13, 2013 05:42AM
Because;	Elystan	401	October 13, 2013 05:48AM
Also if you're not maxed on teleport, use teleport potions. They aren't expensive. (n/t)	Artificial	336	October 13, 2013 05:53AM
If you're a whisker from con death, just con die. Go out with a bang, not a whimper. (n/t)	Artificial	358	October 13, 2013 05:52AM
It would have been mostly mob deaths, with not much chance of a PK (n/t)	Elystan	286	October 13, 2013 05:54AM
I promise you're putting WAY too much stock in gear. If you can't go toe to toe with someone due to your gear, your tactics change, but you still have a solid chance of killing them. (n/t)	Artificial	334	October 13, 2013 05:59AM
It was the weapons	Elystan	396	October 13, 2013 06:08AM
Cleave doesn't care how good your gear is	Artificial	453	October 13, 2013 06:25AM
