Mind reading is a habit with you, isn't it?
Once again, Extrapolation. I'm not reading your mind, I'm extrapolating from the available evidence. A few folks here have mentioned that it looks similar to the table top systems. I'm not blind. Trying to pretend that there's not evidence proving me correct when its all over this topic is foolish and childish.

I didn't. It's called disagreement. It has been known to happen from time to time.
Let me quote here. Ahem. "This is what makes BattleMechs different than gundams and other eastern mechas that wall-jump, fly at obscene speeds, and shoot the center out of dimes on the other side of the solar system." " It's not a super-mecha, capable of perfect convergence." Seems pretty belittling and 'Mine is better than that' to me.

Ah, so, I couldn't POSSIBLY be validly pointing out that you have been making conclusions that require you to have knowledge you can't humanly have. No, I ... MUST ... be doing something else.
So, all in all, it's perfectly ok for you to magically read my internal desires, thoughts, etc, as long as it serves your end, whatever that may be.
See above.

Your evidence didn't support your statement. You made a general claim, and than tried to use a single particular to say that ALL particulars must be the way you claimed they were.
I offered evidence, and then asked you to perhaps consult someone with more knowledge or to DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. My goodness. I'm such a villain.

I didn't crop your quote. I took the whole chunk in context.
Here, let me just fully quote you here. Ahem.

RNGs are generally for turn based play, and even then are frowned upon; Generally, in programming, especially games, RNGs are frowned upon for numerous reasons. Look it up. Seriously. The Golden Sun RNG Exploit is a pretty good example of WHY.Players found out how to make events with 1/256 probability occur one hundred percent of the time. Generally, not so good. Also, due to their very temperamental attitude, an RNG (Which isn't every really 100% random, really) that isn't being exploited in some way can do wonderful things like make six shots in a row miss where you're aiming. In a Skill Based game, all this will do is piss off everyone.
You don't even exhibit any understanding of my statement that it's possible to have a 100% connection rate, with the right tradeoffs ... "miss six times in a row."

six shots in a row miss where you're aiming.
My my, By your system, if I aim at CT, I might just hit an arm six times. Gee. Gasp. Nice manipulation to see just what you wanted to strengthen your point.

You certainly seem to be acting that way.

Yep, you're right. You didn't post that computers can't do this in real time.
Congrats. Basic reading comprehension is within your grasp.

Now you're moving the goal around. No, somehow, I didn't propose known and predictable hit percentages, I've said there should be "100% random results" ... when I never posted any such thing or anything that means that.
Now you're either misunderstanding me, deliberately or otherwise, you just have no reading comprehension, or you're not even bothering to read whats being talked about.

Now, not only is it ok for you to think you can know things you have no way of knowing, it's "belittling" to point this out.
A flimsy defense on your part makes me think I may be correct. Also, once again, get back what you put in.
Pht, on 28 September 2014 - 05:08 PM, said:
Oh my, you missed my Edit and are outright dismissing me. Boy, you must have a great argument.
100% hit rates are signs of cheating and exploits. Even if you are the best, you can miss. You are human. Thus you can miss.

Edited before you posted: "Yes, because I obviously posted the exact same thing as "add a RNG" to the system that underlies street fighter."
STILL SHOWING YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND A SIMILE. MISUNDERSTANDING ON PURPOSE DOES NOT MAKE YOU CLEVER, IT MAKES YOU AN A**HOLE.

No, it's not transparent. It's not even there. You're making assumptions. In no way can you pull in-context quotes from my posts and than show how they REQUIRE the conclusion that "I am an arrogant condescending jerk who think's he's smarter than he is."
Say, something like:
All men are mortals
Socrates is a man
so, socrates is a mortal
Thus making your conclusion *unavoidable*
At this point, just reading your posts seems to bring an arrogant fellow to mind, so..? I really don't see how I need to go and pull much more than I have at this point. You don't seem to be actually doing anything to prove me wrong.

The percentages represent the battlemech's capability of aligning it's weapons; per the guy that controlled the IP, and this has not changed. BT battlemechs are not capable of perfect convergence
Oh my, this changes... pretty much nothing. This isn't table top. Gosh.
EDIT: Aside, you pretty much just proved that whole "Want it to be table top" thing right there. Thanks.
