Man so much to learn

[lf2536]

I.. That was....

C'mon folks. ASF or PSF, you have to appreciate the talent and effort.
And a Tae Kwon Leep reference! I remember when I first heard that after being linked to it by a fellow monk in EQ1. That was... over a decade ago.

for once I am forced to agree with you, however, I still think Steve is evil.

Props to Tanis and Jeedai alike, these were highly enjoyable stories. +rep for you both!

[LtDiablo]

Yes I am ASF and yes I am hesitant to add this Steve abomination to the sticky.

This thread is amazing.

I'm sure it's already been mentioned in this thread, but if you're wondering about how to be a more effective tank, I highly recommend the Marchwarden Guide to Tanking (found here: http://lorebook.lotro.com/wiki/Warden:_Tanking_Guide) I used it and it greatly improved my tanking: my kinship is always willing to take me as main tank to whatever instance.

The most useful advice I can give you is to take the time to be familiar with your gambits: which build single-target aggro versus which are multi-target. Which are threat over time versus simple threat, etc. The "math" section of the tanking guide helps a good bit: it gives pretty clear info on how different threat skills work.

Good luck!

I was there when ASF was born on the Vilya server in a rebellious chat on the Warden channel. ASF!

Vilya, well that explains a lot.

ASF is all about negativity - their name is even anti. I prefer the positive message of Steve. He is awesome, we are awesome.

Now why can't we all just agree to disagree and stop acting like champions?

Noooo! You're ruining my immersion!

+rep for the positive message.



Edit: Oh wow, I just discovered that if you quote a post, and you're first words after the quoted person are "+rep," you get a new button that submits the post -and- gives rep to the person you're quoting. That's handy.

-rep for calling us champions

[Aggie08]

-rep for calling us champions

But it was a simile, not a metaphor!

[LtDiablo]

Oh no it was definitely directed specifically to call us Champions!

[BagLady]

Actually, Aggie08 is correct. It is a simile, which (to use Wikipedia) is:

"A simile is a figure of speech comparing two unlike things, often introduced with the words "like" or "as".[1] Even though similes and metaphors are both forms of comparison, similes allow the two ideas to remain distinct in spite of their similarities"

However, I understand that language is a less than perfect medium, and misunderstandings are common. Trust me that I am trying to say that we should not mimic this most un-wardenlike behavior, and using champions as an example of what can happen when one chooses the path of negativity.

[LtDiablo]

Yes misunderstanding indeed, I do believe the sarcasm was lost in translation lol

I'm waiting in anticipation for the sequel by Tanis... Part II: The Revenge of Steve- The Revenging.

all this civil war must stop!

a warden forum divided against its self can not stand.

we have all walked the way of the warden. we must have fi-sp-sh and sh-fi-sh-fi-sh to come to a fi-sp-sh-fi.

some you fi-fi one another and some stand in fi-sp-fi-sp-fi but to preform a sh-fi-sh-fi to fellow wardens is despicable and will leave the warden community in fi-sh-fi-sh-fi.

we must work toward a sh-sp-sh-sp-sh and sh-sp-sh ourself's against the fi-sh-fi-sh if we continue with the sp-sh-sp on each other.

Super -rep for looking down on Vilya Wardens, and for being pro-Steve, and for calling us Champions! You hit the negative rep trifecta.

we have all walked the way of the warden. we must have firece resolve and conviction to come to a resolution.

some you goad one another and some stand in defiant challenge but to preform a dance of war to fellow wardens is despicable and will leave the warden community in desolation.

we must work toward a restoration and safeguard ourselves against the surety of death if we continue with the onslaught on each other.

Amen, brother, amen. +rep for making me think

Read the translated version in my previous post

<sigh>
I do not look down on Vilya wardens. Having the ASF start in a Vilya chat does explain why both you and Marchwarden are among the first to speak of it though, which is what I was referring to.

I did not call anyone a champion. Please read the previous post about similes.

As for being pro-Steve. I carry the banner proudly, and only repond with this: You and LtDiablo are throwing negative rep at me for what? Holding onto a positive message?

Steve was summoned when negativity invaded our boards. It is ironic (or not) that those who oppose Steve do so with negativity. I choose a different path.

Civil war culls out the weak. You must choose sides in the inevitable war against the PSF. Bystanders have no chance of survival.

I will follow no grasshopper. ASF is the only way to side.
