Interesting Thoughts

I read this in a military post and thought I would share it. Good in-game advice.

The purpose of fighting is to win.
1) There is no possible victory in defense.
2) The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either.
3) The final weapon is the brain.
All else is supplemental.

Who cares about your hlxstats, we're out there for the victory, so stop being so afraid to run out and act.
1) Campers/camping is useless and doesn't help the team win--only pushing will. Campers have no skill and should feel bad about themselves. They probably also pay their bills late and suffer from the gum disease known as GINGAVITIS--not to be confused with "gingeritis", or "inflammation of the redhead".
2) Charging wildly into the street with your K98 is 10x more effective than sitting back and calling for !medic, but either way you'd better be good or you're gonna die soon.
3) Don't be a moron.
All else is supplemental.

 

[Quaffer]

A prince is also respected when he is either a true friend or a downright enemy, that to say, when, without any reservation, he declares himself in favour of one party against the other; which course will always be more advantageous than standing neutral; because if two of your powerful neighbours come to blows, they are of such a character that, if one of them conquers, you have either to fear him or not. In either case it will always be more advantageous for you to declare yourself and to make war strenuously; because, in the first case, if you do not declare yourself, you will invariably fall a prey to the conqueror, to the pleasure and satisfaction of him who has been conquered, and you will have no reasons to offer, nor anything to protect or to shelter you. Because he who conquers does not want doubtful friends who will not aid him in the time of trial; and he who loses will not harbour you because you did not willingly, sword in hand, court his fate.

Come on Spank, you can't go around stealing threads like that.... even if it was pretty hilarious.

For the original, I agree with every point
