Caught you in a lie Rainboots as you claimed that you did not START playing Everquest religiously until 2002. You just shot what could have remained of your credibility.
what "remained of my credibility?" what world do you live in? do you think that your perceptions of me are accurate and reflect the community's opinions? it has been suggested by more than one individual in this thread alone that YOU are lacking in credibility.
you did not "catch me in a lie." you did however, fall for an intentional deception. it was bait. i play chess. i intentionally suggested a gap in my play time, figuring you'd take the opportunity to suggest that the "system change" you fabricated took place of course within that small window. one which you later claim was so far back you cannot recall (and yet you cite it as the first one in your list). NO such change took place. you took the bait.
here is what i wrote: "as a 14 year veteran everquest player, beta-tester, and volunteer guide- there has NEVER been a system change which was implemented in stages"
and
"as for EQ though, i played religiously since 2002. i began beta-testing shortly thereafter. there were NEVER any 'huge systems implemented in stages.'
i played RELIGIOUSLY since 2002. i began playing when the game was released, albeit more casually at first. i quit playing in 2013. that's 14 years. so no, i did not lie. even if i did it really does not matter, you still took the bait.
i don't think you ever even played everquest at all. and yes, "thin air" is swiftly becoming a favourite of mine as regards you and the claims you make. although "full of hot air" might be more appropriate.
what class was your main in everquest? what server did you play on? what guild were you in? what were your first weapons?
It's called real life Rainboots. It's like asking a guy that was in a vehicle accident a decade and a half ago what color of hair the other driver had. You remember the accident but the not the specifics of it. Your expectations are unrealistic and I DOUBT even you could remember that far back. And yet you claim they did not happen without a shred of anything to back you up. I believe that is called when you 'pull something out of thin air.' Another of your fond phrases.
for an auto accident i was in on dec 24, 1990- the driver of the other car had long, slightly wavy medium brown hair. the guy who caused the accident but drove away had short dark brown hair and was wearing mirrored sunglasses. the guy who witnessed the accident and ran over to it with the license plate number of the aforementioned vehicle had short curly black hair.
anywho, your first sentence is more condescension, but it is evident from most of your posts that you are a condescending individual. you near-constantly talk down to others. "it's called real life Rainboots." are you actually a grown man writing stuff like this? if you were indeed playing everquest in 1999 as you claim, you'd have to be at least close to 30 (if you were playing when you were like 10) and yet you talk to other people like this?
how you spoke to bobbykitty was even worse.
"And yet you claim they did not happen without a shred of anything to back you up."
that is YOU, sir. you have nothing to back up your claim of a system change that took place in stages on everquest in 1999/2000. you can't remember what it was, just that it happened- because, as you say- "It's called real life"
your fallacy is
https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/burden-of-proof
you made the claim that everquest (first on your list of 5) made huge system changes in multiple stages. (as you listed everquest in your first list regarding your initial claim: "Systems that are hugeare OFTEN implemented in stages into live games.")
it is your responsibility to provide evidence for said claim. it is not mine to provide evidence to the contrary as i am refuting the claim, not making it. unless you provide evidence to substantiate your claim, it is you who is lacking credibility.
i'd say "You just shot what could have remained of your credibility" but based upon what others have written of you, this apparently has already happened.
