Kaelik, my hero.
Joe, who plans to own Newall's Plumbing Company, asked the presidential hopeful about his plan to increase taxes for some Americans. He felt that Obama's increase plan may redistribute wealth.

Sort of sad that even that probably availed to naught.

Not really sad at all Tshern. Just more of the same, which has long since passed sad and gone to plaid. For reference, ludicrous was when Grek made the 10 point probability quiz in the other thread that was summarily tangented into hilarity.

I don't get why people just don't stay out of his thread as requested. I mean he did just request it, but it's been pretty clear that we can't do anything for him for a while now. He considers all of the help and advice and suggestions and clarifying questions and criticisms to be not actually help at all, for any and all of the reasons that Kaelik sighted above. So let's just leave him to his project and let it self-destruct under the weight of his indecision, unclear goals, unwillingness to posit a position even for trials, and willful misunderstanding of probability, player motivation, and player/character distinction.

Edit: Or maybe it won't. I'd actually prefer to see what comes of it, I just don't hold out any hope anymore.

I figured out there was no helping the dude back in his first thread about fucking WH40k. Now he did cause Frank to knock out Warp Cult, so for that we can be grateful to him but other than that he has spurned nothing but frothing rage from most of us.
I was not quite will to call him an idiot (annoy twit, yes) until this thread, but refusing to accept/understand basic probability did land him squarely in the idiot category. The sooner he is on everyone's ignore list(whether actual or mental), the better.

I just read him now for the chuckles, personally
The internet gave a voice to the world thus gave definitive proof that the world is mostly full of idiots.
