@Christopher Robin Well then I'm going all in! Sinatra, Aces High!

I used to date a truck driver and the rules and regulations she had to follow were extremely strict. She was constantly under pressure to find a place to park before her road time was up, if she failed to do so she risked losing her job and fines. Often finding a place to park was difficult because all the truck stops were full, sometimes forcing her to park off the side of the road, which in many cities is illegal. Lucky for most truck drivers, the police understand and don't mes with them too much about it. There was no such a thing as mudding the logs for her. That simply was not an option. Most companies also govern the spees of the simi's they provide. So speeding isn't typically an option either, since most of the simi's won't even do freeway/interstate speed limits.

I'll see your classic and raise you Nancy Sinatra.

@Bentley Berkeley Although I don't *think* that's what I am doing, or at least I don't mean for it to seem that way, I will say I loved your post! Good read and fun to read as well. 🙂

@Christopher Robin man, I used to love Dio back in the day! Good pick, too!

And to pay homage to the original artist...

@MetaVileTerror Sorry you are still confused. I've explained it the best I could.

@Snarky and @MetaVileTerror I'm not sure why you are confused. Not once have you read anything from me that indicates that I want to know how to make people listen to me...not once. Your confusion actually confuses me as to how you could possibly be confused. This thread is about me trying to find out the psychology behind people A; Ignoring advice, particularly good advice... (of all types. How many times has your mother or father given you advice that you ignored? Me, lots of times...even though it was good advice and even though in hind sight, I should have listened) B: What is the psychology to the reasons that we as humans, will seldom recognize that perhaps we should have listened to that advice and admit to the person giving it, that it would have been in our best interest to had taken that advice. This applies to all situations, not just in game. And this applies to al humans, including myself, not just my team mates who did not heed my warning. I used my team as an example. I could use many things that has happened in this game or in life as an example. For example, a female friend of mine decided to date a notorious jerk who was also a career criminal. She was nothing like him, had nothing in common with him, and he was nothing but trouble for her. In essence, he was pure garbage. I and many of our mutual friends had warned her that this was a bad idea, and even told her what the end outcome of this relationship would be. Yet, even after all of our warnings, she did it anyway and suffered dearly for it. He knocked her up, then went off to prison after claiming the kids weren't his. he got out of prison 6 years later and was shot and killed by somebody he had done wrong. The guy was a waste of life, and he brought nothing but misery to hers. We all warned her of this, yet she ignored our warnings and she never once said to any of us, "You guys were right...I sooo should have listened." Did we expect her to listen to us? No, we knew we were basically wasting our breaths because...people. Did we expect her to tells us we were right? No, we knew that would never happen, because...people. However, some of us (although not many) can put our pride aside and give recognition to those who warned us. Why? Because we have learned to let that pride go. I believe it is the same pride that prevents people from saying they are sorry, even when they know they were in the wrong. For example, I thought one poster claimed that I was aggressive in this thread...after learning that he did not say that, and he was speaking purely about one post and not the thread, I had no issues saying that I was sorry. Why? Because I did not let my pride get in the way. However, again...not many people can do this. It's rare from my perspective and....back to the meaning of this thread...I simply wished to know the psychology behind why. Hope this clears up your confusion.

@Snarky No, sir. That is not what this thread is about at all.

Yeah, but then I wouldn't be able to have these such wonderful discussions with you. 😄

Happy Holidays indeed. 🙂

Now that actually makes sense. I was actually completely unaware that a debuff that doesn't do damage would suppress most stealth powers due to the way the stealth power works, while other stealth powers work differently. This is a very good explanation of why SI and Hide are unaffected by Cabal while others are. I am amazed that you even learned this. I have been in this game since its infancy and never knew this. I assume you had to do a lot of research to figure this out? In any case, kudos to you, that is one hell of a discovery! +1 to you, Trickshooter and much respect!

I disagree. Somebody who needs constant affirmation from others has their own issues going on and I wish them well, for they need to learn to build self confidence. Fortunately for me, this is not me, I just don't really want to spend anymore of my time in this thread trying to convince you otherwise. I feel like you have an opinion of me that is set pretty hard in stone. Convincing you otherwise would require more time than I have available. I don't know if this is because you read me wrong, or if you read other things that others have said and logged that into memory. Either way, I digress. However, I do appreciate you answering my primary question. I respect your right to disagree and it's nice to know why you disagree. So thank you for that.

I promise you, I do not bark orders or demand players play a certain way. I put out the suggestion and hope for the best. It's all I can do. Some posters made me out to be more than that, but this is so very far from the truth. It's gotten to the point where I am starting to hold my tongue a lot more, because of my experiences on these boards. I never realized that people would take things so ahrshly just by my putting out a suggestion. Sure, maybe I could take the extra time and sweeten the suggestion up, however, by time I do that, somebody would have already rushed in and died. So I type extremely fast, (hence the typo in the word blind, being spelled bind) because I know time is a luxury I don't have. Agreed. You mean team with Jubakumbi! We are polar opposites! It's like the immovable object meets the unstoppable object! We would cancel each other out! 😄 In all seriousness, I am willing to bet that half the people here who act as though I am such a horrible leader, has at one time been on one of my teams and had no clue I was leading that team...and I'm willing to bet we got along just fine. Forums is a monster all in of itself.

If you target the leader of the team, you will also be targeting whatever the team leader is targeting. Whoops, didn't see this, so you were already aware of the targeting tactic. I typically don't have a problem figuring it out unless the character has nothing that stands out. Like if all our team is wearing is tights, without anything that stands out, that can be pretty difficult.

Yeah, played this game from the start, I don't recall any such mission, but I do recall this in CO., I too would like to see it added though if at all possible. That has lots of potential to be VERY fun.

I can't imagine having to see something like that. I think that would do a number on my mental health. Salute to you, sir.

Then this would explain Simi's who ride side by side, blocking both lanes of traffic. They do it to get back at the morons that they deal with daily. 😄

Are we counting Elude as an option we can use?

So I wanted to apologize in a separate post first before touching the rest of what you said. Just want to make clear, I did not have any problems. There was no animosity between myself and my team mates. Not sure where you got that from. I think you might have looked in to that a bit more than what it was.

I think this is probably the closest to the truth answer this thread will get.

Yup, you're right. You said post, not thread. Sorry, didn't realize it until you brought it up. So other than that misshap, the rest should answer your original post.

Fair enough. Although I didn't expect to be thanked. I never said that or indicated that. I did wonder why we dont do this though. I have no issues thanking or recognizing in others, but I think that is a pride thing. My self pride doesn't prevent me from giving recognition.
