Dryads = Imbalanced

Does that about cover everything, Sleepy? This dead horse can`t take much more beating.

I guess I must have missed it when you flashed your "intrawebz dead horsez appointer badge". Isn't it convenient for you to just declare something you don't want to see discussed as a deadhorse, and you think everyone should trip over themselves and comply with your judgement.

Just because you *want* this to be a dead horse does not magically make it so. Why? See, I can do the same too. Its easy. Here's an example : Ryastar, ryastar, ryastar, still trying to defend this dead horse which cannot be defended any more? This dead horse can't take much more beating.

See? Are you now under some magical compulsion or obligation to suddenly stop talking what I don't want you to talk about? No, I didn't think so.

Trying to tell other people online what they can or cannot discuss is ultimately futile. The only CONTROL you have is to hit the "Back" button on your browser if you can't stand reading criticisms on Dryads. Your demand for people to be silent didn't work in the past, and it isn't working now.

But I *do* enjoy watching you try futilely to attempt to control other posters' actions.

So, the lesson for today's class is that you can either try to talk people into being silent and fail, or you can Exercise. Personal. Responsibility. but not reading that which you cannot tolerate. No one is twisting your elbow to keep on clicking this thread. So tell me, which way do you think will get you what you want, trying to control others, or exercise control over your own actions?

Class dismissed.

if half the game is "broken" and "overpowered", maybe it is not the game but your expectations that need to be adjusted. I just love the idea of there being creative rule uses that are exploitative...

You know what else has specific rules that can be exploited? physics. thats why we have air planes, space ships, guns, etc...

"Dear Lord who art in heaven, I have a bug to report... airplanes are TOTALLY broken, they are just way overpowered, I demand you nerf them at once or I am taking my business elsewhere!"

For me finding something out like hypnotize + sacrifice is merely discovering the science behind the magic and using the laws of physics to your advantage. (for example, lets say sacrifice requires a unit to perform part of the magic ceremony itself, like say, stabbing its own heart with its weapon as you cast the spell... hypnotizing the enemy and making them commit suicide sounds perfectly logical!)

Ryastar, YENKO, thumbs up for two very well written posts..

Way to put words into people's mouth just so you have something disingenuous to argue against. I CHALLENGE you to do a search for the word "half" in this entire thread, and tell us who claimed "half the game is broken or overpowered".

Can't find it, can you?

Read the thread topic again to see which single issue is being discussed. When you try to make things up by putting words into people's mouth, you will be called out and made to look foolish in front of all.

I made a list of just SOME of the ways to dominate the game, you responded with the above message. Meaning in your view those things I mentioned are broken and cheesy. (rather then just awesome and useful if used correctly). I am not putting words in your mouth, you said it yourself.
I'll give it to you, it is not LITERALLY HALF (I was being figurative), but it is a significant amount. And from the list I made the dryad is by far the LEAST useful, important, or overpowering.

If it isn't half, and you failed to find any quotes of people making that claim, then the lesson of the story here is to not make things up just so you have something to argue against. Here is another lesson : its a logical fallacy called "strawman" (google this if you need)

And there you go again. You used the word least in all caps, as if that somehow turned your PERSONAL OPINION into FACT. Cause it doesn't, and stating a personal opinion does not a logical arguement make.

But of course, you STILL can't explain why pointing out a bunch of other broken or cheesy things somehow makes the broken and cheesy Dryads NOT broken or cheesy. Want to debate something? Learn to use logic and reasons. Smoke and mirror will *also* be called out and you'll just end up looking foolish.

Class dismissed, again.

Having fun, sleepy? Good job only responding to the weakest arguments anyone brings forward, and, if you can't find any weak ones, just latching on to one small part of the post, and creating a whole rant around it. As i said in my post, above (where you created an imaginary set of motives for a small statement that i wrote just because i wanted something funny-ish to start my argument (though even i didn't that it was all that funny)), Taltamir is NOT saying that these other things being broken or cheesy makes Dryads less cheesy. What he IS saying, is that, since these other things are far worse, more broken and cheesy than dryads (considering that they aren't, this isn't hard), IN COMPARASON, dryads aren't that bad. (for reasons why Dryads aren't broken/cheesy, try actually reading my post, instead of what you did do, as i explained above)

And Sleepy, actually read people's posts. In the quote you gave, Taltamir specifically said that he was being figurative, or exagerrating for effect (it's called hyperbole, try googling it), so, no he did not mean half, and he said he did not.

Class Dismissed (you do realize that ending your post with this every time looks arrogant, stupid and pretentious, especially since you fail to actually teach any lessons in your posts)

hI, i might be crashing here, but i just wanna know. is there a place in elven lands that sell dryads in hordes? i've completed karador's quest, but the only dryad source i found is in the magic valley's magic tree, and the dryad supply has dried up.
