    Not to worry, two can play at that game. Just let it be known that I was not the instigator of the altercation.

    @Canas Well, speaking of bad tastes, don't forget that you're the one that plays AoS! :cool:

    I'm glad you agree I have amazing taste and affirm that by pointing out my absolutely brilliant decisions which you could never replicate. Thank you for the kind compliment :p

    With the aim of aiding reading comprehension, I've conveniently bolded the relevant section:

    I've added the subtext to put it into context

    *

    *as stated by a person who we have just established himself has bad tastes. So any objection he has to other people's taste logically cancels out. Resulting in his claims of someone else having bad taste really just being confirmations of their great taste.

    A double negative makes a positive :p

    The only thing you've added is a heap of mental gymnastics. ;)

    Established?

    You have personally made an unsubstantiated claim, that does not equate to the establishment of anything.

    And who is this "we" you refer to? You're the only one that has put forward such a claim. If you wish to step up to the NIGHTBRINGER, at least have the courage to stand by your convictions, rather than attempt to hide in the anonymity of a crowd or project the false strength of an invented group. :D

    I shall accept your compliment about my mental prowess, which is fitting after all I am a scientist :p


    As for the other bits; @Lizards of Renown and @Killer Angel have both questioned your taste a few post back. In fact they did so before I joined in. And I'm sure this isn't the first time it's been pointed out. So there's definitely a substantial crowd agreeing with this well established fact ;)

    Nah, i wasn't questioning @NIGHTBRINGER 's tastes, but the tastes of anyone who thought that gnome was a great idea to be realized.

    Although I had a funny feeling that it was supposed to go in the random randomness thread...

    Language is not algebra. A double negative utterance is an (obvious) emphasis, not a reversal of position within the same sentence.

    Depends on the language. In the case of modern standard English, so the formal rules that are taught in school, a double negative makes a positive. There are however plenty of dialects that use double negatives for emphasis. And of course it can be very different for other languages which may actually have it as part of their formal grammar and not just as a local dialect.

    The process by which an individual employs mental gymnastics to arrive at a conclusion that is not supported by facts or evidence is not typically considered to be a good thing. However, if you wish to take it as a compliment who am I to burst your bubble? Let it not be said that I am unkind. :angelic:

    Different strokes for different folks.

    The trinity of the Three Tomb Kings holds strong!

    I do agree that the Cursed City models and recent "Vampire Counts" models have been nothing short of exquisite.
