I don't debate your persuit of authenticity, Omnirizon, although I think you'd find it more easily outside of whatever philoso-ethical dictionary you're using to dredge up that bit of near incomprehensibility. I also don't question your age, your persuits, the self you represent, etc. I do question your judgement-in your persuit-to besmirch someone who is themself expressing authentic character.

You can question my sappiness, or lack thereof, but you can't within the same statement call someone overly emotional, and coldly calculating, at the same time. They're diametrically opposed. And since you've already put forth your position that I am "sappy", you have proven beyond my own ability that I am acting in an earnest, real, unphoney way.

So I thank you for your compliment-obviously a high one, considering all the expensive words you used, and your earlier statement about talk being cheap-misguided and ultimately distracting to your goals though it may have been.
HoneyBadger,

Bravo! I wasn't personally moved by the earlier declarations but I enjoy seeing people stand up for themselves, or even especially for others.

Default My hippopotomonstrosesquipidalian retort.

In which I shower Omnirizon with floccinaucinihilipilification.

Omnirizon-like so many things, it's not the size of the word, it's how you use it. Take antidisestablishmentarianism, for instance. It's a great word, very applicable to Dominions3, since antidisestablishmentarianism-in a universal, and strategic senses, as opposed to it's pertinence in relation to the church of England, is pretty much the whole goal of a game, atleast in MP.

If you want a really *big* word, try pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. And wear a mask.

And if you ever visit Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamogg, be careful where you fish. Especially in the company of Algonquins.

Thanks MaxWilson

Meh, all this talk about stuff using very long words makes my head hurt. To that, I say:

GG Devs!

<---both a science and art student at some point in life.
