"Why would one do such a thing if such a thing is to be looked down upon by a society? Thus, why would one assume that I, one greater than this society, would consider performing in such a worthless deed? "

Why would you even care what society things of any deed. If you are greater then it? If you allow yourself to be restricted by societies views on the world, then you allow yourself to be constrained by these 'lesser' beings. You conform to societal expectations because they are societal expectations, it doesn't make you greater then society it makes you part of society.

I think this quote is fitting here:

"[Atom], when I imagine your expression as you write your posts, it is always with a serious face.

This is not good. " -Friendly Sword

"You conform to societal expectations because they are societal expectations, it doesn't make you greater then society it makes you part of society."

Apparently you didn't understand...

Not to compare myself to God, but I'll just use Him as an example: If God wanted to masturbate, he certainly could. But when all of his little followers came up to heaven and saw God, they'd all be like "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" (Get it? Hell, you know the place where Tettleton and krellin hang out?) It would seem most likely that God would choose not to do it, not only because he is God and has no need to do such a thing, but also because he would be seen as less than perfect by his imperfect creation.

I do not conform myself to this world, I condemn it. But for those of you who were to think of me doing such a thing, would continue to lay a distraught eye upon my character. Ceasing to consider my superiority.

"Ceasing to consider my superiority."

Don't worry. That shipped set sail a long time ago.

Given that I don't consider you to be superior, and rank you closer to scum at the bottom of the barrel. Because of the manner with which you choose treat people. I'd say you aren't exactly very consistent.

I'm going to ignore your example, and focus directly on the situation on hand.

If you said: No I'm not masturbating to the number of replies, because I don't get turned on by people paying attention to me. Then you'd have proven yourself to be above their level. Because you couldn't care less what they thing or say.

As opposed to, your answer which even in light of your example reeks of caring what they think. You need others to validate your superiority which makes it a false sense of superiority because you cannot be content simply with yourself.

Both answers make you scum. One of them shows superiority, the other demonstrates a need for validation.

Pffft. Your arrogance is hilarious. You talk like a supervillain. You aren't surrounded by idiots. You're just surrounded by people you can't be bothered to get to know, because you're scared they'll reject you, or because they already have, and you're compensating by hiding behind your arrogance.

Also on the matter of abgemacht's quote, I haven't seen Friendly Sword in ages. I liked him; he was friendly, also a sword. What happened to him?

I haven't heard from him in a long time. I miss him as well; he used to be a staple on the forum.

I think King Atom has clearly demonstrated that he is a genius. Each of the threads he has been like a work of art. Like a Jackson Pollack indeed. You guys don't get it because KA is ahead of his time. Future generations of Diplomacy players will one day discover these threads and the finally KA will get the recognition he deserves (much like Beethoven or Van Gogh).

Not just an artist, musician and chick magnet, KA is first and foremost an intellectual. Considering the greatness of his genius he is actually is actually very modest. Notice the way he let's others win his diplomacy games. He knows he could crush any opposition in his games, but he is so generous of spirit that he allows himself to be defeated in 50% of his games, and never once has he given into temptation take a victory that he could so easily. Such nobility.

Atom's power is so phenomenal that he even made emo cool again, that's how he gets all them chicks.

+1 Largeham. Funny video.

Hey guys, remember that whole thing we had awhile back about "Don't feed the trolls"? Well, you're doing it wrong.

That's like the signs in zoo about not feeding animals, to hell with them. Trolls are endangered species, anyway, so we are protecting world's biodiversity by feeding Atom with love.

so, to take KA's example, if God wanted to masturbate he could. But Gods care's about what hte little people think of him so he can't do it where they see him.

but if God is truely omnipotent then why does he care?

in king atom's example God is restricted in his actions based on what people/culture/society think.

Which is exactly the point.

FYI, ka, i don't care if you are superior, or think you are, so you can feel free of my judgements, whether you are masturbating or simply denying yourself the pleasures of the flesh...

Of course God masturbates. Where do you think sleet comes from?

@Abge: Wasn't that quote you posted originally adressed to me? lol

You all are very disturbed. One day, you all shall be as the suitors were before Oedipus after he shot through the rings of the axes.

@CM

Yes : )

Yeah do you guys think if we kill King Atom god will be pleased and give us back Friendly Sword?

lol

@ King Atom, it wasn't Oedipus who shot through the ring of axes, you're thinking of Odysseus.

Also it's worth a try Thucy. Even if it doesn't work, we're still better off than we are now.

ROFL

It's a well-known fact that it's hard for geniuses to distinguish names that have too many O's and D's and E's.

Also @KA it wasn't a ring of axes it was a line of axe heads that he shot through. Shooting through a ring of axes wouldn't be terribly impressive, you could make the ring of axes as large as you wanted.

Also, whenever KA describes himself as a genius, is anyone else reminded of that Looney Tunes short where Wile E. Coyote gets to talk and is trying to catch Bugs Bunny and keeps describing himself as "Wile E. Coyote: Genius" even though he still fails at everything?

Wow, freaking error report.

Yes, I made a mistake. (I bet you all feel like the world is going to end, but, regretfully, I am merely a highly evolved human being.) I guess you should never read the Odyssey and Oedipus Rex at the same time. Speaking of which, does anyone know of a good translation of The Iliad? The one I'm reading is freaking pathetic.

@ Mafialligator: Notice my direct quote: "after he shot through the rings OF the axes."
