The Revan Respect Thread: Update Thread

Don't need to, I remember every day long bought of BS I get into:

There arent enough feats for Vitate's saber skills but a sith that strong in the force should be able to take Anakin in a saber fight as well.

How the hell does that work?

The more powerful you are the better you'll be in a lightsaber duel.

Then Neph and Sinious spent the better part of the next two days arguing that Vitiate must be comparable because he's super powerful. Dodging with things like, "He obviously knows how to use a lightsaber," because he spent it, and "He's obviously proficient because he's just that good." "Kas'im said that power is the most important component in a lightsaber duel," and so on. It's extremely consistent with him that power=skill, all evidence to the contrary. And saying one can go toe to toe with Anakin in sabers? That's saying one is extremely proficient given that Anakin is one of the greatest masters of the lightsaber the galaxy has ever seen.

You missed a quote.

I'm just explaining his reasoning.

Nice try though.

Yeah, I was making fun of everything else you said too. You missed the bottom part of that post.

I didn't miss it. Its just that's its unsupported hearsay. At the end of the thread I specifically deny that I'm saying Vitiate > Anakin. I did say that he knows how to use a lightsaber. If thats what it takes for you to think I'm saying he's on par with Anakin your estimation of him must be lower than mine.

I was being polite when I said this was a nice try fyi. It isn't.

Neph, OOC would you say that you are favorably biased/predisposed towards characters of the SWTOR persuasion?

I'm always OOC.

In a sense, sure. I was one of the first to argue in favor for the Swtor characters based off my playthroughs. I had to push to get them respected and prove their abilities. I'm invested in backing them in that sense, in support of my own arguments.

Fair enough 👆

Like, I have no favorable bias towards Vitiate. I thought he was a shitty ass character. But people used to be extremely dismissive of him, myself included. When I changed my mind on him I had to defend my viewpoint pretty hard. So I needed the belief in my own correctness to keep pushing my ideas across.

Thats how I think this mostly occurs. No one wants to be wrong, so they become invested in proving themselves to be right and they become biased in that regard.

I never:
1. Said that you thought Vitiate could kill Anakin in sabers, I said that you supported an argument that he could. You did.
2. Even said you thought Vitiate was as skilled as Anakin in sabers. I said that you thought he must at least be competent because power. If you forgot this, read a few lines up.
3. Implied that you thought Vitiate was the end all of saber combat. What I said was that you used a similar argument to the one that you just laughed at Ant for, which you clearly have in multiple threads across the forum.

Deny it all you want, but there's definitely another option, one you won't take but one nonetheless: admit your obvious hypocrisy. But that's something you never have done, so I obviously don't expect you to do it now.

I was being polite when I said this was a nice try fyi. It isn't.

I didn't support his argument. I clarified his statement when someone questioned it.

And I said he was competent, yes. In that I said he could hold a lightsaber. Snakes alive, I really went too far that time. I've said he can probably boost his stats to respectable levels before, but not in that thread. So your mockery failed in that regard.

And lastly I've not made the same argument as Ant. He's putting Revan on the level of Dooku and co based on his power. All I've ever done is put Vitiate above people like Johan. Again, I can see why I warrant such bitter ball-busting. You also haven't shown me doing so in multiple threads, nor have you proven that I've argued him to be "extremely competent in lightsaber combat". So your initial accusation was wrong in just about every regard.

How about a counter-proposal: How about you admit that you're just being a salty little dick like always and trying hard to be some toughguy edgelord to impress us all?

Try harder.

Neph is mad Freshest is raping him, kek

KEK @ the implication you put him on their level for other reasons.

Can't tell if mentally retarded or mentally retarded.

mmm

You can't argue Revan = Dooku in technical skill due to Revan being more powerful in the Force.

😬

No, I was laughing at you putting him on Dooku's level because of skill or some reason other than power. Which is funny. The thing you just said is nonsense. Just like Revan = Dooku.

Neph, the sheer anger and butthurt you are raging here is being reported as a greater cause of global warming than China's factories.

"Neph's so mad, lOL!"

Yeah, ok sure.

I thought that was already established with:

TBH, I'm always completely bewildered at what you guys think is anger. You know, the very first thing someone said to me on these boards was an extremely aggressive and long rant about having sex with my dead mother (thank you Beefy). And that kind of hostility didn't exactly tone itself down for a pretty long time. That kind of thing isn't anything special to me. Calling someone a dick is super ****ing weak. Y'all just need to grow some thicker skin.

Just a few things you did then and have done since. Those all mean support by the way.

See how I talk to everyone else. Where if I've ever hinted at them being lesser it was clearly in jest, for the most part. Then see how I talk to you, where it clearly isn't. If you think I'm downright degrading you because I think you're worth impressing then you are by far much more idiotic than anyone else I've ever spoken to. Trust me, making fun of your hypocrisy is far from impressive when almost everyone here does it on a daily basis.
