Is this about it?

49% of the players LOVE the AE cause it lets you get to 50 w/out really playing the game

and 49% of the players HATE the AE cause it lets you get to 50 w/out really playing the game

and 2% of the players like pie?

---

Wrong. I neither hate or love the AE and I think pie is like the worst thing you can do to fruit or meat.

---

I like the MA, but for reasons that have nothing to do with levelling.

I like the MA coz now I have access to maps and characters and stuff so I can film without having to Ouro my way through stuff.

And I like pie. Because the cake is a lie... and I refuse to choose death.

Most people love AE because it allows you to create custom missions and enemies.

Arguments about farming and exploits have been around long before the Mission Architect.

I like pie. And my dislike of AE has little to do with people rushing to 50 and more to do with the negative impact it's had on passively acquiring PuGs. Also, I hate outdoor mission maps.

not really, like michelle, my appreciation of ae is about seeing what some clever wags can throw together when given some basic development creation tools and a forward thinking company willing to let them set up shop with their stuff in their game. similarly to why i loved morrowind, oblivion, fallout 3, spore and even little big planet, because some people like me are never going to have the access to make a game, we arent in the right location, we dont have the right skillsets, or our ideas just wouldn't sell to the boobs and shotguns crowd, yet here we have a limited stage to strut our stuff for the appreciation of a small group of people who are as big a nerds as we are..

so yeah, even though its been a few weeks since i have had the time to partake, ae is all good, and it has nothing to do with leveling.

oh, and i hate pie, flakey crusts put me right off, gimmie a cheesecake however, and gratitude is mine. occasionally pumpkin pie can conceal its inner-pie and be tolerable, but otherwise, pie is cake with applied oppertunity cost.

Pie. I like pie. I think way more than 2% of us like pie.

But how many of us eat 100% of the pie?

And if we eat one slice, then have two pieces of cake are we simply confused? (or just getting fat?)

I think Nemesis is a cake eater.

You're not eating the right kind of pie.

My grandma used to tell me about her famous hare pie. She gave it to all the soldiers when they came back from the war. It made her the most popular girl in town.

Sadly she never taught us the recipe before she died. I think the secret is in how she prepared the bunnies.


Anyway this is the recipe we use now.

[u]Hare Pie[u]


Ingredients

2 each rabbit jack, or 4 cottontail
1 each celery stalk diced
1 large onion diced
1 x salt
1 x black pepper
1 package biscuits prepared

Gravy

1 x stock reserved
1 x chicken bouillon
1 medium onion diced
1 x celery from above stalk
1 x flour, all-purpose
1 x salt
1 x black pepper
1 x sage
1 x poultry seasoning

Directions

Soak rabbits in salt water in refrigerator overnight.

Dry, cut up and stew rabbits with celery and onions for 2-3 hours.

Add salt and pepper to taste, then strip meat from bones and put in 26-inch pie pan, add stock or gravy for moisture.

Cover with biscuits.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour.

For gravy, take reserved stock, add bouillon, onions and celery.

Bring to a boil.

Strain.

Mix flour with an equal amount of water, add sauce to thickening.

Season to taste with spices.

Actually, the premise of the OP is rather silly even if you ignore the silly numbers. Obviously Articulated Lorry1337 is just having a bit of fun with us. Using false dichotomy to start yet another thread about the Mission Architect is even more pointless than the threads that preceded it.

That sort of faulty argument is so easy even i can do it.

47% of people hate chainsaws because they're used for cutting up corpses.
79% of people love chainsaws because they're used for cutting up corpses.
11% of people dislike the word "moist".
(Yes, 26% of people both love and hate chainsaws, and possibly dislike the word "moist".)

See? i conveniently ignored the fact that chainsaws have other uses besides corpses, and that use may not even be relevant to how many feel about chainsaws. It's just a messy argument all around.

@Roderick

When I was a kid (many many moons ago), my family and my aunts' and uncles' families would get together at my grandparents house for cookouts. The day before, we'd all get pails and containers and head out into the mountainous woods and pick wild blueberries. Grandma would turn those into the most amazing blueberry pies you could ever imagine. Wild blueberries are smaller and tarter and have a more intense flavor and totally blow away pies you make from cultivated blueberries bred for their size and sweetness.

Pies rule.

I did this once (made a pie out of wild blackberries I picked along the river). I'm not avery good cook (an even worse baker) and the pie came out horrible . . . but it was still pie.
