    Default Aphorisms

    I had the (mis)fortune to be asked the other day to consult on a build that could "take the damage and really put it out."

    After the folks who know me stop laughing I will continue.

    I'm still waiting.

    *sigh*

    Ok, anyway, it got me thinking about odd things to have been asked and stupid questions. The normal aphorism is "ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer" but that's not where I stopped. I apparently answered this persons query to their great satisfaction as it has worked out in their build, now in the upper levels.

    I was wondering if, in the tradition of the double negative, the following could be true:

    *Ask a stupid person a stupid question, get wisdom in return.*

    What do you folks think?

    Well?

    While we are waiting for those who know me to stop laughing...still...how about the rest of you respond?

    Completely honest, it's more of, ask a stupid question, but in reality you're answering from experience

    You learn the most by failing...so by that fact, Mr. Hordo, you should be the wisest of us all

    Quite apparent the person who approached Hordo is very intellegent. They bloody must have watched Hordo play before... Thus, "Ask his advice, and do the opposite."

    Default Another Aphorism...

    "Survival of the fittest."

    Yes, it is a Darwinian term, but in game terms it means those who can't cut the mustard get left behind or die in a quest.

    So, what should it be if I, Hordo, am actually the last one left alive in a quest and end up saving the day? Yes, it has happened. I survive and rez the cleric who rezzes the others and we finish the quest. The whole time I don't die.

    "Survival of the gimpiest" maybe? Give me some suggestions folks!
