No... I'm not seeing what you mean.
The closest things to "I already know everything" are "I'd like to be right about everything" and "Something else" which I could choose except that I hate cop-out options.

That means that "of course!" is right up your alley. Cause saying "Yes, I'd like to be right all of the time about everything," many people would view the same as saying "I am right about everything all of the time." People who don't analyze words like you or I would easily take either responce as having the same meaning because they don't particularly care what you know or think. And unfortunately there are people here at MSF who don't hesitate to find the wrong meaning in text (even if it's a spelled out difference such as 'like to be' and 'am'). You could have gotten away with saying "I chose the 'I already know everything' option cause in all honesty I do," and it would have slipped by some readers thinking that was actually an option.

So, back to originally saying "There's no 'I already know everything' option," there is, when you look at the poll from a less strict state of mind.

But if you don't see what I mean, or dissagree, that's okay =) how bout lunch?

I am not many people.
If I was, then I wouldn't be right all the time :p

Or because they have a sub-standard grasp of English, maybe?

... So you're argument amounts to "If you're not very bright/attentive, then you could easily make a mistake and assume that the first option is what you're looking for"?
... Okay, fine. I'll buy that.

That's because my ability to be forgotten is stronger than your ability to remember. Victory is mine! I guess that's why I was nicknamed Nike, after the goddess of victory. ;p

D'oh! I was thinking of permutations of Crescent Pulsar, not Nikkou! >.<
Hmmm... want a new nick?

Why? Is there anything wrong with Nike? :O It's not like Crescent Pulsar is really "myself", in the social sense, anyway. My creative, hermit-like self is Crescent Pulsar, and my social, village idiot self is Empyrean Nikkou. More or less.

Well, it's getting a bit dated.
And apparently I can't remember it when I leave for a few weeks.
As for what you call the different voices in your head of WHATEVER you were just going on about just now, it doesn't really have anything to do with it.

You're dated. Oh, snap. ;p *Tosses some dates at you, too; both kinds, in fact*

Besides, whether anything has to do with anything is meaningless. I know that you know how we both know that we each know that anything we know or could possibly know is relative. You know?

Dammit, stop throwing stuff! This is why we don't have nice things, Nike!

Knowing things isn't relative. Unless you only THINK you know something, which is silly, and totally irrelevant to someone like me, who's always right.

I'm so glad that you're so right about being so wrong, then. :P

Anyway, you called me Nike, so there's nothing else to say about it. :twisted:

I hope you know that you can't win against me anymore by not making sense. I've built up my headache resistance! My save is now +14.

Of course I did. I haven't given you a new nickname yet. We're just talking here, bud.

Be that as it may, can you make a saving throw that's 35 or greater? *_*

Bud instead of dub, sure, I get it. You're the one that needs to get with the program. Or the dubbing, as it were. Just try to keep your lips in sync when you say it. ;p
