Balance of power (8.1. spoilers)

[Zarao-colinas-pardas (Zarao)]

He like LITERALLY said they were on a stalemate.

Added to the fact that he acknowledges BOTH are strong, it doesn’t mean they CANT move.

It means that neither side WANTS to move because it means that every advancement would have an equally serious backlash.

@Telriem-quelthalas

it’s not a theory, it’s the actual definition of the word. Didn’t realise you were a language theorist who also had to refer to dictionary’s. Sorry I’m wrong. I must be. Not like I’m speaking to a brick wall at all. Nope.

I wasn’t the one that added some extra meaning charge by going “Stalemate could also mean that…”.

It’s a theory the second you take the literal definition and take it the step further into “And it’s the kind of stalemate that has the Alliance being stronger”. It’s a theory. A wrong one given the source.

[Zarao-colinas-pardas (Zarao)]

Because the guy I was arguing with brought them up? Like, two times.

And again, why is it relevant that I compared them?

[Telriem-quelthalas (Telriem)]

One second you deny comparing them and now you ask why it’s relevant, effectively admitting it.

I never said stalemate could also mean that.

I said what it does mean. With confidence. Because I know I am correct about the meaning, as backed up by frozen, ashenbrand and the fact that I have working brain cells.

I didn’t even just offer you a definition I offered context on how the word came to be.

@Zarao-colinas-pardas

And most important of all: never compared the Horde with the taliban, just pointed out how the situation of both collectives WASNT comparable.

I give up at this point. So, if I and you were to compare heights, that would automatically mean we are the same height?

[Zarao-colinas-pardas (Zarao)]

Yeah, I admit I said that both collectives aren’t comparable.

Again, all this nitpicking responds to some purpose?

@Telriem-quelthalas

I didn’t even just offer you a definition I offered context on how the word came to be.

And I quoted another definition of the word, that instantly redirected me to the definition that supported the fact that both sides were par on strength.

And I too offered the context.

[Zarao-colinas-pardas (Zarao)]

What are you talking about here??

You randomly said that I was comparing the Horde with the Taliban, and used a quote that has me literally saying that both situations aren’t comparable.
Why???

Like, the comparison wasn’t even brought up by me. I just argued against its validity.

[Halasibel-outland (Halasibel)]

How about stop.

Just stop.

Say something constructive. For example, do my horns look nice?

They are magnificent! They kind of hurt my feet though, whenever I take a walk to the Hellfire citadel

[Zarao-colinas-pardas (Zarao)]

I like LF ones better

You have just made an enemy for life.

This isn’t over emo-corruption-infested castaway

[Zarao-colinas-pardas (Zarao)]

You have nicer spaceships tho.

[Halasibel-outland (Halasibel)]

@Zarao-colinas-pardas

I know, right?! This is why the Hijackerforged stole Vindicaar! It was just better than anything they could come up with.

How about you check that wonderful dictionary of yours that you love so much and check all the different meanings of the word “Compare” or “Comparison”?

edit: You can re-check “stalemate” while at it.

[Zarao-colinas-pardas (Zarao)]

@Araphant-defias-brotherhood

Only if you explain why it’s relevant after having me clarifying, repeatedly, what I argued.

I don’t want to waste my time and I’m currently having quite an engaging debate about PROs and CONs of an average Draenei Fashion Victim.

Ps:

@Halasibel-outland

I know, right?! This is why the Hijackerforged stole Vindicaar! It was just better than anything they could come up with.

And they turned it YELLOW. Of all colours…

And the fact that you’re going barefoot is how you’re paying respect to your Troll heritage, I assume ?

[Araphant-defias-brotherhood (Araphant)]

Gladly. Namely, I was under the impression that you were saying that the Horde isn’t the Taliban while Ashenbrand did not even argue about that.

They just brought up an example of why the word “stalemate” can mean more things. To explain further, I did not argue that you spotted any similarity or equality between the Horde and the Taliban, I said that such a statement is completely irrelevant as no one even seriously compared the two different situations. That’s my point.

[Halasibel-outland (Halasibel)]

@Zarao-colinas-pardas

Don’t tell anyone but their colour of choice is exactly the reason they “chose” to stay behind to “fight the demons and delay them”.

Could you imagine Exodar being completely yellow? Seriously, Vault of Lights is the ugliest part!

@Brigante-argent-dawn

Probably time to let this die. The OP isn’t invested in it, and just posted it as another “Woe is the Night Elves” thread, people are actually ignoring in game events, we have bizarre headcanon about a portion of Night Elves being able to defeat a united Horde Army, and even though the Horde are losing, some people can’t decide whether this is Horde Bias or Proof of Alliance supremacy. Shall we just chalk this up as another Night Elf whinge thread?

I’m gonna qq because I can’t respond to my opponent’s argument waaahwaaah.

If you can’t be *ssed then just say, stop trying to scapegoat it by pinning it on just another Night Elf Whine thread.

@Araphant-defias-brotherhood

Namely, I was under the impression that you were saying that the Horde isn’t the Taliban while Ashenbrand did not even argue about that.

That wasn’t really what I wanted to express. I just meant that both examples weren’t equatable and further clarified that the context Saurfang gave us regarding his interpretation of stalemate, supported what I said about it being something between two equally strong forces with mirrored footing on both continents.
Which is something that further distances from the kind of examples that resonate with the Taliban case
