Digi Post #8

Characters: Warlock and Thor

….endgame.





…

That having been said, it’s time for the rebuttal:

Let’s start off with Sun Tzu himself, because he’s definitely not on their side:

”All warfare is based on deception.”

Warlock completely undetectable.

...

”Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.”

…they won’t even know that Warlock exists until I start taking it to them. And controlling their boards and using them against them (proven even after they tried to mis-represent my initial scans) certainly counts as “unexpected”.

....

The art of using troops is this:
......When ten to the enemy's one, surround him;
......When five times his strength, attack him;
......If double his strength, divide him;
......If equally matched you may engage him;
......If weaker numerically, be capable of withdrawing;
......And if in all respects unequal, be capable of eluding him,
..........for a small force is but booty for one more powerful."

Our equation proved beyond doubt that we are >>>> them. They’re weaker, and they can’t elude us.

....

To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.

Board control. Magic block. We’re chopping them down before we even lay a finger on them. Our plan is smooth and efficient.

…

But Sun Tzu isn’t the only one on our side. Let’s turn to an infinitely less combatitive Asian (Lao Tzu, credited author of the Tao Te Ching)

”Therefore the sage abides in the condition of wu-wei (unattached action) and carries out the wordless teaching.”

Adam Warlock, purged of good and evil, walks the middle path between the two that is true to nature. One cannot exist without the other (opposites) and this opposition leads to conflict, turmoil, and strife. But, resting in the heart of this insanity, he is his own entity, and removed from conventional forces of virtue, value, and honor. His actions are unattached to a philosophical creed, and his contributes to the goings-on of the world while remaining separate from them.

As it applies to or match, he is beyond the realms of chaos and order (reality) and is uniquely qualified to fully assess the situation and pan our strategy. Our plan will work, because we have him. Their team cannot say the same.


....


Or Hamlet:

There is special providence
in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, ‘tis not to come;
if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come.
The readiness is all.

We stand at the precipice. Our fates not our own, all will be as it will be. If it is our time, it will not be yours; and if yours, not ours. Good luck, friends.

Finally:

” ‘We can sexy’ is totally going to be my epitaph!”
T-Rex

Not really tourney related, but it’s a great epitaph.
