Explorer Rangers vs Other Specialty rangers IN THEIR HOME TERRAIN.

You posted back when the Ranger Revamp first came out that Explorers would never suffer as much from bad wilderness time but they would never have optimal benefit either.

Does this mean that for Wilderness Familiarity and Wilderness Familiarty ONLY they don't benifit as much?

In other words, all things being equal would they benifit less in home terrain from wilderness familiarity than other specialties in home terrain?

Passive aggressive, much?

It's akin to a child not picking up his clothes because along the way he had to stop to get water, then realized he was hungry, then daddy needed him to do something.

That's actually not at all what the term means. But I don't really think it matters.

But you did manage to get Blackturd to join your fan club.

Perhaps, if you're using a football playbook as your textbook.

I tried to help you. If you want to continue to believe you're right and I'm wrong, so be it. I'm telling you, you're wrong. But what do I know? You're the one with the job that is 99% writing, for people whose entire careers are based on the written word. I'm the bounty hunter.

Oh, right.


But I don't care enough about you to help you anymore. Feel free to use this example with others, particularly people you want to impress. I'm sure it will work wonders.

I have always felt you were justified in your legendary rant and while amussing you have been unfairly colored by it over the years.

I also tend to see your point over that of others especially the Imms.

To me it's clear the majority of the players lack the mental dexterity to stand on most argument they make with you so they flame you.

That being said when a person is passive aggressive they tend to be sulky and display reluctance, delaying actions and procrastination. Which was what I describe in my example so a football player could understood.

I just reread my description of PA behavior.

In my example I didn't specify that the child was told to pick up his clothes and so he was looking for excuses as to why he couldn't.

My bad.

I'm not going to argue the correct meaning of passive aggressiveness; you clearly already think you know.

In the last couple days you have both a) complained about "douche baggery" from Balrahd and b) complained about other people impugning your character. I commented because I wished to point out the irony of your recent swath of douchy, mean-spirited posts juxtaposed against your public complaints to forum admins.

I think if you're going to complain about other people's hostility on this forum, you should also refrain from being hostile yourself. "For Nep and Nep only" is a spiteful reference to your recent disagreement with Zulgh. "Blackturd" is an insult meant to malcharacterize the poster. And so forth.

In addition to simply being generally hostile, you've also criticized someone for his method of argument, and invoked the Socratic method. This kind of posting doesn't live up to the standards you're critiquing your peers by.

You're entitled to be crazy, just don't be crazy and a hypocrite.

It's covered in Psych 101 as well as any dictionary or online reference. It's not my oppinion it's fact. So when you used it out of context to characterize me I corrected you.

I generally don't post mean spirited texts. I respond to innacurate posts pertaining to mine, though I admit I was shocked when Graatch, being an attorney, would be so clearly wrong on something he could have looked up in a dictionary. So yeah I replied to him. As far as Blackturd, I can't remember a possitive or constructive post from him ever so yeah I backhanded him. You. Make a fair point. My bad.

And another correction, I didn't first mention the Socratic Method, I think Balrahd did and in such away that I didn't think he understood what it was.

As far as posting specifically for Nep and Nep only... I was asking him to specifically clarify a post he made a couple years ago. I as a person don't like extraineous input on specific questions and I didn't want a bunch of "I think" posts from other players.

No, assuming that one of the things being equal is their wilderness time.

I'm about 98% sure that came up after conversations regarding fastcamo and such. My understanding was that it referred to wanderlust, and more specifically referencing this part:

"Even an explorer who spends a significant amount of time in civilization will find that his skills do not suffer nearly as much as other rangers."

Making up random numbers, let's say your wilderness percentage can go from 1-100. Say fastcamo is like...an 85. Wanderlust makes it so that your wilderness percentage gets to pick between the higher of what it really is, and wanderlust giving you an automatic 70. Therefore, if you're wandering around, wanderlust makes it so you're not crippled. However, if you're a wilderness ranger, you get your actual wilderness numbers...at which point, you're not really getting any use of wanderlust either.

So, my short version of what I understand: Wanderlust puts a "bottom end" on how bad you can be. Obviously, that bottom end is not going to be anywhere near top level of rangering, and so you're never going to be as bad, but if you're actually having to use that, you're not going to be as good as other rangers either. However, I'll still say we can let an Imm verify if my understanding is correct.

This is essentially correct -- wanderlust sets a lower bound on what you can count as, but doesn't muck with your upper bound.
