LOL!!

So I just found this website and it made me reflect a little on the way I play the game.... While I have not actually read the site... I think that I can guess it content.... I know that I can be somewhat of a rules lawyer, but I think my friends would call me more of a rules Nazi with how much I read rules and love to follow them... I think the difference between a rule Nazi and a rule lawyer is that the lawyer will try and twist the rules to his benifit where the Nazi is actually VERY strict about following the rules to the point that he/she looks them up constantly (guilty). Although I have not been right on every rule that I have spouted, there are a few that I have been right on which makes me feel good, but at the same time I feel it has alienated my friends from me, so I think that while I will still research rules (I think that is an OCD (not offically) thing with me), I will try and be more lax with the way that I present them to my friends.... While rules are important, I feel that they have started ruining the game for not only me, but my friends as well... In the end I must remember that it is only a game.... Goosfraba!! lol

Edit: By the way, I found in the previous codex where it states that the platoon command squad was 2 kill points. I really want to discuss (not like last week) with h00t how this affects things in terms of kill points for our group and for the tournament. But I think its very interesting now that I've found it. I guess I was just too tired to find it last time when I wanted to compare them. Again, not as a rule Nazi, but just as a discussion with h00t (and anyone else from our group who wants to discuss). One more thing. I think my problem with arguing, which we discussed in my health/pe education is that I, like others become agressively argumentative when it comes to competition. Now that I know this, I am hoping that I can avoid it in the future as my friendships are more important to me that winning a game or an arguement.

  1. When did "don't judge a book by its cover" stop being part of the general gradeschool curriculum?

    Posting something like "I have not actually read the site but I can guess its content" is irresponsible journalism at best, sheer ignorance at worst.

    If you actually read through www.theruleslawyers.com, I think you'll find that twisting rules to one's benefit is not at all what the site is about.

    Regardless of what opinion you may form - positive, negative, or otherwise - your opinion will be vastly more credible if you've actually read the thing you're opining about.
