A multitude of videos will show that you liberals yourselves do not
consider the rule of law to apply to you, so why are you whining about
me giving you what you want?

Ah, and when faced with your tendency to generalize specific situations to
general classes of people you double down on this irrational stance of
yours. This is what conservatives tend to do -- look at how many (not all!)
attack people of other religions because SOME people of that religion have
done wrong. In the US it is generally Muslims which are the target, in Nazi
Germany it was the Jews. Same story told over and over and over. Far right
groups are controlled by their own fear.

You dishonestly snipped out my "not all!" and then pretended you are not
doing as you are.

In other words you have given up on being honest. Assuming you ever cared at
all.

More of you working to turn things around. No self-nuke on my part. Not at
all. But you have shown you piss on the rule of law based on people merely
disagreeing with you -- the the level of calling for murder. To try to
defend this horrific view of yours you group all liberals as being violent,
which is, literally, insane.

Meanwhile the slogan of a major conservative group in the US is "Stand and
Fight." This shows the violent tendency... but even that does not suggest
ALL conservatives push fights, nor would it excuse calls for violence
against them.

Your call for violence WAS a self-nuke. Absolutely. You claim others are
violent so you call for violence. Insane.

Bullshit.  In the same post where you whine about me editing your post by
"snipping", you edited my post by *adding* text to it.  That's not only
a self-nuke, but it is extremely dishonest.  Par for the course with you
though.  Right, Lyin Ted?

I added BACK what you snipped! I returned context... you know, the think you
removed as you lied about me self-nuking and tried to turn your BS into a
meta-debate and insults and accusations. ANYTHING you can do to move goal
posts.

So what are you trying to change the the topic from? You have shown you piss
on the rule of law based on people merely disagreeing with you -- the the
level of calling for murder. To try to defend this horrific view of yours
you group all liberals as being violent, which is, literally, insane.

ALL conservatives push fights, nor would it excuse calls for violence
against them.

Your call for violence WAS a self-nuke. Absolutely. You claim others are
violent so you call for violence. Insane.

Why don't you just do the right thing and admit your call for violence was
completely and utterly misguided?

The way to do that is to say, "Hey, you snipped this:"  And then quote
it yourself.  What you did was insert it into the section of my post
where I quoted the post I was replying to, as if to imply that that
reinserted text was part of what I was replying to.  That is extremely
dishonest and is definitely a self-nuke in a post where you are whining
about a post-edit.

Watch my next post to see an example of this.

I noted your dishonest snipping of context and returned it, only to have you
focus on THAT and not on the actual topic. ANYTHING you can do to move goal
posts.

So what are you trying to change the the topic from? You have shown you piss
on the rule of law based on people merely disagreeing with you -- the the
level of calling for murder. To try to defend this horrific view of yours
you group all liberals as being violent, which is, literally, insane.

Meanwhile the slogan of a major conservative group in the US is "Stand and
Fight." This shows the violent tendency... but even that does not suggest
ALL conservatives push fights, nor would it excuse calls for violence
against them.

Your call for violence WAS a self-nuke. Absolutely. You claim others are
violent so you call for violence. Insane.

Why don't you just do the right thing and admit your call for violence was
completely and utterly misguided?

I have to say that you have a lot of patience to deal with him in the 
manner that you do. While I truly believe that Snit and I would be good 
friends if we saw each other in real life, he is quite exhausting here. 
I came back today and already had to filter him not because he's a bad 
person but because he just posts so damned much and nitpicks on the most 
inconsequential of things.

I do not think it is a nitpick to note that Owl is calling me a racist but
cannot quite ANY example of it, nor that Owl is saying that a support for
equality (which is all I backed) showed racism against him. He has
repeatedly demonstrated how he feels entitled to privileges others do not
have -- and he does so as he whines about how he is the victim of "reverse
racism." 

But, sure, the "debate" is going nowhere... to me it is just interesting to
see Owl crumble. And he is. Maybe that does not speak well of me.

I am noting your actions: your dishonest snipping of context and returned
it, only to have you focus on THAT and other attempts to put me on the
defensive and not on the actual topic. ANYTHING you can do to move goal
posts.

"Oh look, a soccer mom."  That's what other people at the stoplight
say when you pull up in that thing.

I'm just calling it like I see it.  A smart douchebag wannabe would have
searched around a bit and found that he could get a fairly recent 911
for about the same price as a new Macan.  Hell, you could do that and
still have 15k or so left over for repairs.  Then you might be turning
heads instead of noses.

And yet even though their worth relative to the $1K was pointed
out previously as a gap (& risk), Octavian still chose to avoid
making an unambiguous declaration of their worth.

But even if he had done so, there's still other variable factors
present.  For example, the Diamond industry is known to be a
monopoly with price manipulations such that even if one had a
bag supposedly worth $1500, the actual price you would get as
an outsider to that monopoly could easily be much less; see
the history of 'blood diamonds' for an example.   

And even if that's not a factor (eg, "no trickery at all"), 
there is still the relative worth of one's time.  Starting with 
a baseline of 0 hours to just take the $1000 cash and the
aforementioned bag of diamonds worth $1500, if it takes an average
of 10 minutes to search a room for the bag, the average time 
until one finds the bag distributed randomly within 700 rooms 
would be (700/2)*(10/60) = 58.3 hours.

At that point, the question then becomes if a reward of $500
for 58.3 hours of your time is worth bothering with.  Simplistically,
that works out to $8.57/hour, so if that's less than your current
day job's pay, then its probably not an adequate ROI.  Overall, 
it depends on one's personal situation & priorities, preexisting 
time commitments, etc.  For example, even if the time was 10x
faster such that one could be done in just 5.8 hours (= $86/hr), 
if that time block conflicts with picking up the kids from daycare, 
and no one else can cover that...then a responsible parent will 
be obligated to take the zero-time cash.

A one gallon bag filled to bursting with master-cut flawless diamonds
each with a minimum 5-carat weight and you estimate its value at $1500.

We can make it a couple pallets of gold bars if you like, and throw in 
the forklift and armored car.

Before you said natural. Now they are master cut. Your module is poorly

Now THAT sounds like fun. I search the first room. Hopefully this works out
better than your first attempt at writing this adventure.
