it would become a staple, but thats what protoss is really missing right now. you dont have anything thats solid in all normal scenarios, so you either have to cheat/guess one way or another, or sacrifice army strength in order to cover all your bases. this doesnt really make for good games, as if you try to guess (assuming you cant get full scouting information and you usually cant) it becomes a retarded game of who managed to hard counter who, and if you sac army strength to be able to deal with anything obviously you have a weak army. that works vs t cuz your army is still stronger than theirs, but you cant beat a good z that way.

buffing stalkers fixes alot about pvz, though it might require some more fine tuning early game as robo based allins are already quite strong. it'd also fix the terran allin > protoss but protoss freewins if they survive situation in pvt right now. terran would need some kind of mid-late game buff to compensate but they need that anyway.

a more fitting one would be some people wanted to make money so they told you theres this awesome theme park but you cant see it until you buy the tickets and to buy the tickets you have to do whatever they tell you to, no matter how retarded it is. and then once you buy the tickets you die without having led a fulfilling existence because you devoted yourself to a bunch of idiotic bullshit.

now THAT was a good analogy.

we know god didnt do anything for the same reason you know the spaghetti monster and zeus didnt do anything.

if you believed god could help him why would you do anything else? particularly psychoactive drugs given the potential side effects and, as you said, the fact that psychiatry is far from an exact science. seems downright irresponsible to subject him to that when god can pull him through. fact of the matter is you knew god couldnt help him. you may have 'prayed', you knew it wouldnt do anything and it didnt do anything. if you hadnt prayed would you have broken down and told him he was a crazy retard? no. you would have gone on doing exactly what you did.

you can claim that it made you feel better or that it did help you maintain. but thats bullshit. if you believed god could affect the situation you wouldnt subject your brother to psychiatric treatment, and if you didnt believe that god could help then obviously you would gain no comfort from asking him to.

ya lets look at statistics from before muta micro and hive abuse to determine modern balance!
that makes perfect sense! zergs used to do badly because their innovators came later than the terran's. nada and oov showed t's relatively modern tvz years before savior/ggplay/jaedong came and fixed zvt. looking at statistics from pre-muta micro and pre-hive abuse games in order to talk about current zvt is fucking retarded.

and theres absolutely no reason to assume the metagame will swing back in terrans favor as the improvements in zvt are not something fragile or counterable, theyre solid improvements in general gameplay that will not go away. its like terran going from one base openings to fe. people just got flat out better at the matchup.

but in that case it is causality, not correlation. its not absolute but cheese is, by nature, risky. this makes it a far better choice to cheese someone whos better than you. if you do a coinflip cheese someone who you can hold a 70% win rate vs you're pretty retarded, while taking a 50/50 vs someone you'd normally go 30% vs is a pretty good choice. psychology messes with all that but in general playing vs a better player does cause someone to cheese.

The average level is not the same as before, it has improved A LOT. PJ has improved a lot like everybody, however his win ratio is 50% because he is a Top gamer but not one of the best top gamers. And at the level starcraft is right now there is no talent anymore. All there is is hard work, and you can have all the amount of possible talent but if you don't fight hard you won't get a shit.

are you talking about foreigners or koreans? cuz he certainly is one of the best foreigners

hes not as bad as them, but its the same scenario. if he thinks im an idiot thats fine, but by staying in the game, and continually talking to me while im playing, hes making his tournament less good. seems rather retarded to me.

starleague success is really good for a team as well and the coaching staff/management is not stupid. or if they are they have oov to explain it to them. fantasy's greatest strength is that hes smart and he prepares well for matches. that style does not serve you well in proleague where you have little preparation and lots of matches vs generic, lesser known players. starleagues are where you can prepare well and where that kind of player truly shines. he does not blow off proleague, he is just not well suited for that. hating him for that while he brings you consecutive silver medals and the recognition that comes with it would be fucking retarded.

however its too late to do anything about it because zerg would be fucked without it. ideally blizzard would have made zergs lair tech units stronger, because as is you fight with them all game on them and switching immediately to ultras costs too much and leaves a timing window, so z has to depend on swarm to survive.

but seriously, just look at it from an outside perspective. a spell that guarantees that you cant attack something for however long its duration is? it allows for exceedingly slow, boring games. watch any zvt xiaozi has ever played.

not everyone has the skill the be a cheesy protoss.

And those that don't pick terran and whine about it. On a related note Greg, do you think you would have qualified for a starleague by now if you played Protoss?

i dunno about a starleague but i would be 'better' (able to win more) than i am now as terran

So what you're saying is that before each game you sit there and think "yeah, I'll handicap myself, winning games is for losers" and then pick Terran? And then you blame Protoss players for not doing the same? How does that work?
Surely then, by picking Terran you're getting it wrong and by the same token they're getting it right with Protoss. Complaining to people that they keep outsmarting you on the race selection option is almost as silly as maintaining that you were too good to beat an awful build. It's hardly their fault.

If you're after a handicap couldn't you just play Protoss and kill one of your starting probes or not use dragoons or something?

what im saying is if id had almost a year of practice in a pro team with protoss thatd be the case, obviously my terran is currently better than my protoss. they wouldnt allow a race switch. before i came to korea i did indeed switch over to pvt a month or 2 before wcg usa. was 1 game from getting out of an all terran group in wcg usa on 2 months of practice. definitely a tough race to play.

Care to explain why Terrans have historically always done far better than Protoss players? Are all Terran's just naturally gifted far beyond the abilities of any Protoss player? If so, do the more gifted individuals somehow all choose Terran in order to give the appearance of balance or does the act of choosing Terran somehow make them superhuman?

obviously its because certain players happened to choose terran

protoss raped everything for like 2 seasons after bisu showed all the other retards that the 3 best harass units in the game and the fastest transport in the game make a pretty fuckin good combo.

terran has not historically done well. nada oov and boxer have historically done well.

so then we're back to predestination for the sinners.
if the criminal cant repent without god choosing them, they dont have control over their own fate.

you explicitly said last post that sinners and unbelievers are left to their own devices and only believers are predestined. which is it?


how did adam and eve disobeying (just eve actually, iirc) god make me sinful? i had no control over what they did. how can i be held responsible? (could you actually answer this this time? ive asked it like 3 or 4 times)

if god can change our will we do not have free will. thats pretty obvious, it doesnt matter how much he chooses to exert his influence, as long as he does choose to exert it some of the time.

also you dropped the 'only exerts it on believers' argument in your last paragraph when you said sinners cant repent without 'god having something to do with it' so obviously he does affect the will of sinners as well.

as for the rest of that, isnt that fucking retarded? why is it more important to believe in jesus and god than to be good people?

why would the little girl have to be under his divine protection? lets assume shes 'under the age of culpability' or whatever you said, so by christian standards shes innocent, since she'll go to heaven. why should an innocent little girl suffer and die when god (a good, kind, loving god) has the power and the willingness (as shown by the fact that you admit he does alter people's wills, even sinners) to prevent it? remember, god is omnicient and omnipresent and everything else, its not like he just didnt see her getting raped.

he is obligated by the fact that, as you have said, hes a good kind loving god. such a god would not want his creations to suffer. and yet he allows them to suffer quite a bit. doesnt really make sense?

how does what adam and eve did affect me? is god a spiteful little child or something? some woman ate an apple so now, even though he loves us all greatly, he doesnt give a fuck what happens to us, the people he created?


what does that even mean? 'took the sins'
jesus has nothing to do with you. if you commit a sin, you commit a sin. that makes you, in some ways, a bad person, you have still caused harm to another person. you dont deserve to be punished for that?

why does someone else taking punishment atone for your sins?
YOU are the one who sinned, you are the one who should be punished. someone else being punished MAKES NO SENSE

no. it hasnt. if they did something wrong then they are bad people unless they have done something to atone for it. christ dying does nothing to change that.
they should be condemned. they did something bad. the only way society works is for bad people to be punished.


next time you post please respond properly, the way ive been doing. all you're doing is posting half sermons that arent actually aimed at anything and are full of utter non sense. break my post up into sections and quote and specifically respond to each one. you're ignoring half my points and arent actually addressing anything you do talk about.

and once again
why is man born evil? dont say because of adam and eve, that is not a why. what has each individual person done to deserve to be born a sinner?
