I don't mean litterally 100%... I mean if you take 10 guys that joined a raid guild -- chances are all 10 guys are there for loot. "A hundred times out of a hundred the judge will do.." is the kind of statement you hear in law a lot. It gives people a less misleading impression than "99% of the time" because there probably isn't 1% of raiders that joined a raid guild for a reason other than loot.

Raevin tells the group, 'we are capable, it doesnt say 100% of the time we are able to 100% kill all targets at all times of day with no loot sharing'
Raevin tells the group, 'its says we are capable without loot sharing, we are and we have been for a long time'
Raevin tells the group, 'we dont normally need to so the statement is true, but on a monday in early afternoon we want to make it a for sure kill'
Raevin tells the group, 'I dont agree, the statement is 100% accurate'
Raevin tells the group, 'no its true all the time'

I think Faum and Happy touched him in a bad place at some point and he has some pent-up issues!

Anon guy, Faum is a cunt and Happy is a bitchboy for following alone with her pathetic bullshit.

But the leadership is kinda intolerable and keeping my mouth shut for pixels isn't how I'm gonna play this game.

The difference between me and you, and I'm guessing casual scum like Taken as a whole, who ONLY got where they are due to better players getting sick of EQ, is I prefer to maintain my dignity.

What a fucked up self-fulfilling prophecy.

I'm sorry you guys are unfamiliar with the common usage of

"100 times out of 100" or "10 times out of 10"

Even if I did say "100% of the time" in a RNF forum post, I think "pedantry" would be a good word for latching on to that.

Little bit different when it comes to official guild statements/rules

[Cecily]

I'm sorry you don't think 10 times out of 10 is 100%. It's not your fault. It's the public school system's.

[Jaxon]

JD I think it's ok to concede this point. You'll still be mostly right and he'll still be 100% wrong. That's a win in my book.

[Lojik]

Never a willow

[JurisDictum]

I won't use the term here anymore. But you guys should be aware that not everyone means 100% or they would just say "always," "100%", "every time" etc.

I liked the expression when I heard it. But now you guys have ruined it for me. I hope you're all proud yourselves.

I'm 100% correct. I can say this safely because when I came up my point it was only to show that your argument wasn't correct. Which was just easy to prove. Truth is there are a variety of reasons people join raid guilds... saying they all join just for loot is asinine and idiotic.

[Cecily]

The English language is loaded with these wonderful things called synonyms. 9/10 would have conveyed your meaning. It allows a generalization with some room for exceptions. 10/10 doesn't and 10/10 generalizations like that are ruined by any exception. Like, for example, I joined a raid guild to experience killing raids bosses in Velious I've never seen before. Joining for loot kinda made my skin crawl thinking about all the slave labor necessary to earn pixels. It's not my first rodeo.

[Cecily]

And this is absolutely pedantic and stupid as shit, but the main point is Alarti, I, and others, I'm sure, don't appreciate being told what our motivation is even if your vast experience has proven we're dirty liars. Please get the fuck out of my head. Thank you.
