Given that the proverb is of american origin, not roman, is it wisdom to translate it into a dead language? 
[/ QUOTE ]
The wisdom of the act of translating it does not reduce the wisdom of the phrase, so in the end it is still wise. After all, Si tacuisses, philosophus mansisses

It's a miss-quote anyway.
"If it ain't broke..."
Imagine actually saying 'broken', I mean, it's just not done.

There's probably been houndreds of people saying this already:
Heroes have sidekicks, villains have lackey's. If you dont want that to be an option, play another game.
Unless, of course, you want 1 hero to have several sidekicks. To make farming easier or something *shrugs*
I got to page fifteen....and gave up.
Original idea was a bad one, in my opinon, from the start. For numerous reasons.
The OPs various responses suggest that either his signature suggesting he is 'thick' is very accurate, or he just love to think hes right.
Wrong. Deal with it. Bye bye

Actually not that many - this is a forum for discussions, so "live with the status quo or walk" is a pretty poor response.

There you go - not well phrased, or actually what the OP suggested, but at least that's an actual argument. And yes, variations on that one have been used a number of times.

Do like me, thank you.
Dont want to post on my stupid threads? Fine.

Alright, that does it, you scummy, stuck up, self centered little troll.
First off, you idiot, if you dont want people calling you thick, why in gods name do you have it in your signature, STATING that you are?
Second off, im as much entitled to my opinion as you, and I at least have the good grace to respect other peoples opnions and not just instantly jump to conclusions. I read through this trail of absolute [censored], to see if there was any redeeming feautres, THEN made a judgement on what I had read.
THIRDLY, if your going to insult someone, oh dear LORD, do the decent thing first and learn to speak english coherently, and to type/write it in a fashion that MAKES SENSE! You have sentances that lack any form of punctuation, and indeed meaning. You blather on, contradicting yourself over and over! You first said 'Do away with sidekicks', then changed it to 'Change it' and then, best of all 'I think this is pants, the game should be like this.'
And yes, that is paraphrasing somewhat. And I BET you wont even read that, because you will simply go 'This person disagrees with me, therefor they are stupid.' And THAT, mate, is my view of you, based on all the utter TRIPE that you have spouted on this thread. You have been rude, uncouth, arrogant and a general damnable [censored]!
All that and, yes, im seventeen. And I speak the damn lingo a helluva lot better than you do. Stick THAT in your pipe and smoke it! Cretin...
I suggest that someone gets this thread locked. Unless people want to talk to the flameb...sorry, the OP.

I expect this post will have gone by early tomorrow since two of the later posts have been reported (not both of them by me). However...
This thread badly needs closing.

Well, its got 150+ replies in it.Not all of them are from me and not all of them are sarcastic or insulting. Some pretty thoughtful ones actually. You saying everyone who took the time to reply and debate the point contributed [censored]?

Let me put something to bed once and for all. And this isnt aimed at you at all. I never think someone that disagrees with me is stupid. I think that anyone who insults anyone without provocation is stupid and ignorant. I never spoke to you before you called me thick and unless you insult me again I dont think its too likely I will again.

I think I've been polite to you. After all I insulted you in response to your insult of me. I seem to recall you insulting me without any provokation from me at all. How could I? I never noticed you before.

Agreed. I did ask the trollers to stay away from this thread. In fairness, after I asked that they did. Till
this guy came along.
Sorry but I really do not enjoy being insulted. I still dont think the concept I put forward was stupid. I also conceded that this wasnt a winning idea on these boards ages ago.
Although I now discover that other games are widening the sidekick concept out so maybe I wasnt so off the mark after all.
But yes. Close the thread.

Well, sorry, but I find being called 'boy' and 'this guy'' offensive. I would have been perfectly happy to simply accept that as that and wander back to the game. But the way you put it was nothing short of insulting.
I at least wrote out a legible reply. If I was some stupid oik who simply went around spitting on peoples ideas, it wouldnt have read anything like that.
So, sorry, but the comments you aimed at me were insulting. Ergo, my response. As far as I can make out, I left a comment with my opnion on the board. And then I got a sarcastic, insulting reply. Maybe that wasnt the intention, but thats what it read like.
Anyhow. Nuff said, hopefully.

And you know the rules about this just as well as anyone who's been here more than half an hour. You persist in breaking it, just as much as people persist in starting the flame wars.
If someone insults you, DON'T REPLY. Just report it and move on.

Yeah don't add insult to injury, Two wrongs don't make a right. Who am I to talk?
Meanwhile I have reported this thread because of a number of people and expect to see this locked on Friday.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
Lionsbane is a big enough insult by himself tbh, never mind his replies.
Given that the proverb is of american origin, not roman, is it wisdom to translate it into a dead language?
I really should do something about this signature.
