Although it would be better if you could actually view the images in a resolution that scales up to something close to life sized.

yeah, those photos aren't very good.  This is better.  At 300m, the size of a person is roughly the size of the center front sight post in this picture.

True, they aren't the clearest.

Quote from: TristramEvans;678802FASERIP is a good antidote for that mindset.

Definitely. That's actually the system that taught me the lesson way back in '90 or '91. I remember being at camp, playing Spider-Man, and suddenly this little light bulb clicked on over my head.

Quote from: StormBringer;678899Where do you suppose a group of bandits would be hanging out in the above picture?

In the scenario as described? Nowhere in that picture. Because they were explicitly on a road finishing up a raid against a caravan. And there is no road in your picture.

Quote from: Sacrosanct;678852Especially when you figure earlier in this thread he just got done saying what a worthless feat Archery Mastery is because (one of the reasons) you'll never really run into a situation where you're using a long bow at a far enough range to enforce disadvantage.

No, I said you'll hardly ever. Stop twisting words in order to justify your bizarre obsession with your own self-righteousness and inability to accept that you are wrong almost all the time.

Also, pretty weak-sauce to put someone on ignore and yet post about them in their own thread no less.

Quote from: Sacrosanct;678852Between that and this changing stories about being banned, the more he posts the more contradictions he has.  I'm almost convinced he's just making stuff up at this point to get a reaction since his stories keep changing.

I haven't changed any story about anything. Stop making stuff up.

Quote from: Sacrosanct;678863Admittedly I'm not a bandit, but I was in the military.

And they weren't in the military. They were ex-farmers who banded together out of desperation and are raiding convenient, easy targets for food for their families.

They saw Bob, their mate, get dropped from an arrow fired from someone around 320 feet away and Pete, Bob's best friend, charged off to get revenge and the rest followed.

It was only after another couple of them dropped (within the same round no less) that they realised how dumb an idea that was.

This is called roleplaying NPC's. You know, 'cause they weren't in the military. Now if they'd not rotated their crops, you'd have something to complain about.

Quote from: Imp;678979Stormbringer. In the example, the bandits aren't lying in wait. They're finishing up a raid on a caravan. They'd be in the visible area. And the PCs are just walking down the road. I see no huge problem with a 1000-foot encounter distance here necessarily.

Not to mention that it was also a random encounter rolled during their journey to a city. I used the opportunity to foreshadow the troubles in the area, which was later backed up by a meeting with someone who mentioned off-hand that people were turning to banditry.

I'm actually going to reply to this this one time, because no one should have the impression that you're actually doing anything but trolling.

Quote from: The_Rooster;679115No, I said you'll hardly ever. Stop twisting words in order to justify your bizarre obsession with your own self-righteousness and inability to accept that you are wrong almost all the time.

"never really run into it" and "hardly ever" mean essentially the same thing.  That's not twisting words by stretch of the imagination.  And even if they don't mean exactly the same thing, the fact that one of your first examples of actual play contradicts one of the primary reasons you just got done arguing why archery feat sucks shows you just how strong your "arguments" are.

You're a liar.  And a bad troll:

Quote from: SacrosanctSorry, I can't handle that level of irony in one day. I have a feeling rpg.net would be a better site for you.

Quote from: The_Rooster;677104I'm perma-banned from there. And ENWorld. You're stuck with me until someone perma-bans me from here too. I give myself a month at best.

Quote from: The_Rooster;678123I find it bizarre that I haven't been banned from RPG.net. Oh wait, that's right, I don't post there.

I wish usenet was still used.

Quote from: Sacrosanct;679121You're a liar.  And a bad troll:

No I'm not. You're just too obsessed with me to see that both can be true.

I'm on my fourth nick at RPG.net. Three of the previous ones are perma-banned. The current one I simply don't use anymore, ie. I don't post there.

Oh come on. Don't pretend that this is anything but your ego at work. People like you want everyone to know they've put someone on ignore because of some self-perceived notion born of self-righteousness and need to prove to everyone else that you are superior. And with you, the case is severe given that you actually put your ignore list in your sig. That's so incredibly narcissistic.

The fact is that you look at all the posts from people on your ignore list because you can't help yourself. You need to know if they're talking about you. That's the only reason you responded. Because I talked about you and you couldn't handle it.

Yeah....

Not "my fourth sock hasn't been banned", but "I haven't been banned", and then say that yes, you have in fact been banned.  3 times actually.

Seriously question.  Who do you honestly think you're fooling?  Who do you think honestly believes you?

Stop this slapfighting, just leave him on ignore.

The Rooster Identity.

What the hell is wrong with you? You're the one trolling here. I've only ever responded to your nastiness. And now you're grasping at straws trying to paint me as some sort of Machiavellian villain bent on deceiving people about being banned from a shitty RPG website.

WTF dude? Are you off your meds or something?

Quote from: Sacrosanct;679141Seriously question.  Who do you honestly think you're fooling?  Who do you think honestly believes you?

Believes what? There is no conspiracy here. You're just off your rocker and obsessed with me. I know I'm pretty hot, but really, this is just stalking at this point.

You've never been banned at RPGNet because you've been banned three times?

Dude. Just... dude.

Quote from: Justin Alexander;679210You've never been banned at RPGNet because you've been banned three times?

English comprehension 101.

Banned and never banned have two different meanings.

What I find incredulous is that it somehow matters. I mean, even if there was an intentional deception, so what? It's such a huge deal only because Sackrosuck has turned it into one because he is desperately latching on to this notion that I'm some sort of evil nemesis bent on his destruction and the destruction of all that he holds dear.

I think some people both need to get over it and get over themselves. Being pedantic little fucks destroys conversation about interesting and important things. It seems this place is overrun with pedantic little fucks.
