Dire hatred is in conflict with the rules.

Quote
20 Specialization; Specializes in removing slower moving objects (Missiles, invading crew, unfortunate birds, etc.) from the area via mental blasts. While is *can* destroy laz0rs, it's probably not gonna.
10 Integrity
8 Massiveness

So there's your answer.

Eh, if I'm breaking the rules, I'm gonna just drop out instead of rework my sheet. It's kinda gone from a weird comic thing and started to become a bit of a munchkin fest. I'm honestly not super interested in this anymore. I'll still stay in if it's deemed fine, but I don't want to put in more work to the sheet.
Regardless, for this turn, another volley at HA.

Wait a second

What the fuck

Dire Hatred is both a tanking defense and a shooting defense?

the hell is that

What's even the bloody point of doing anything but specialisation defense then?
You asked a question, and that was your answer.

Honestly, if you are going to ignore rules, you shouldn't have them in the first place.

What? Who said anything about ignoring rules?

I was just talking about the game becoming munchkinny.

Emphasis mine. (To be specific, his Dire Hatred is both a tanking defense and a shooting defense because it ignores the massiveness rules).

Basically, he's requesting that he be allowed to ignore the rules (in his benefit), and threatening to quit if he doesn't get what he wants. Because apparently following the rules is something only munchkins would do.

The obvious counterpoint is that if you feel that the rules are a detriment to the game, you should request that they're removed, not try to get an exception for yourself alone .

Honestly, thats sorta the direction I've been thinking of as well, its been more munchkinny. I don't want to just leave it here unfinished (I've done that enough before) because maybe something will come up thats neat, but it certainly does seem to have leaned toward a faceoff between you two, and maybe eric, with cogginton in the background acting as archeologist & fight ignorer.

Did you actually read that? I'm not trying to get away with breaking the rules. Frankly, if it turns out I accidentally broke the rules...Well, I'm frankly not interested enough to go through the mountain of a character sheet and fix things.

Eh, fuck it. I'm tired of massive page long arguments over the rules, and this has lost a lot of its appeal for me. Just have the Fluxxstone explode or something. I'm done.i

The Fluxxstone fires off a few shots and vanishes into the Fluxx. The shots miss.
