You are old, Grandpa Maher
a poem by Lewis Carroll, edited by Elessar

‘You are old, Grandpa Maher,’ the young man said,
‘And your hair has become very white;
And yet you incessantly stand on your head -
Do you think, at your age, it is right?’

‘In my youth,’ Grandpa Maher replied to his grandson,
‘I feared it might injure the brain;
But, now that I’m perfectly sure I have none,
Why, I do it again and again.’

‘You are old,’ said the youth, ‘as I mentioned before,
And have grown most uncommonly fat;
Yet you turned a back-somersault in at the door -
Pray, what is the reason of that?’

‘In my youth,’ said the sage, as he shook his grey locks,
‘I kept all my limbs very supple
By the use of this ointment - one shilling the box -
Allow me to sell you a couple?’

‘You are old,’ said the youth, ‘and your jaws are too weak
For anything tougher than suet;
Yet you finished the goose, with the bones and the beak -
Pray how did you manage to do it?’

‘In my youth,’ said his grandpa, ‘I took to the law,
And argued each case with my wife;
And the muscular strength, which it gave to my jaw,
Has lasted the rest of my life.’

‘You are old,’ said the youth, ‘one would hardly suppose
That your eye was as steady as ever;
Yet you balanced an eel on the end of your nose -
What made you so awfully clever?’

‘I have answered three questions, and that is enough,’
Said his grandpa; ‘don’t give yourself airs!
Do you think I can listen all day to such stuff?
Be off, or I’ll kick you down stairs!’

I realise that this may be difficult to hear, but the message myself and others received from you was a link to a malicious site which installs a virus that steals all of your passwords and sends them to somebody (according to google results). You can find out more information by googling the name of the site, "clicktoforyou", while avoiding clicking sites named "blockdelete" or "clicktoforyou".

When you came onto MSN the other day, you sent me a link and then disconnected. A google search of it revealed that it was a virus - did you manage to get rid of it?

I actually do not like autumn either, but more because of the fact that I cannot await the winter. I love the winter. It's cold outside and it's calm. Alot less noises :)

I for my part are doing, ok :)

Like you, I am a clean player too and using any exploits makes me feel like I am using doping too. It is not how I like to play, nor like to win.. winning by using exploits doesn't feel like winning at all. Besides, I am not too concerned about winning in the first place.

If that's absolute or total thinking, so be it. Don't think I'm a 'black and white' thinker though, thinking there is only exploits or a clean style. In fact, there's a huge 'grey area' in between, containing moves that exploit the game engine too. There is hardly anything you can do in JKA without exploiting the game engine. Only certain moves have been marked as 'exploits' though, namely the major ones, which I avoid using. (And I don't avoid fighting them.)

As for 'creativity' and 'improvement', I agree a player needs to understand exploits to be able to counter them effectively. This doesn't mean they should start using exploits themselves though. You don´t need to become good at exploits in order to understand them. In fact, if exploits were needed to be creative or improve, I would quit playing JKA.
In any case, a good player can improve using any style, no matter how restricted, just as long as the strategy and tactics are effective so players can beat anything else out there. (Provided they never make mistakes.) A clean hybrid style even allows for a fairly wide range of creativity, unpredictability and adaptability. Conclusion: A player can choose to use exploits, but they aren't necessary to improve per se. That is why the Jedi Academy doesn't teach any exploits, but does teach how to beat them using legit means.

Quote:
I am actually leading myself to question where I have never got clearly answer from you... Do you think that exploits need skill/skills to use them?

Definately so. Exploits may be exploits, but still require skill to perform and aim. The thing is that they give a player an advantage over a player that plays clean and makes JKA relatively easier.

Interesting thoughts there Maher. What I was trying to say to you both last night was, that anyone is free to fight whatever they want to fight like. It's not up to me or anyone to tell anyone else how to play, lol.

Personally, however, I avoid the use of exploits for my own reasons. I like to play JKA. Bugs weren't meant to be part of it, so using them will only make me stray away from the original and intended gameplay.
The same goes for the 'breaking the defensiveness' and 'using creativity' in the game. I don't understand why I should use gamebugs to play in such a way, that I think makes the game more enjoyable. That's what mods are for. Besides, if I thought the original gameplay is boring, I would play a different game altogether.
Finally, and this is not a technical point of view, I play the game to be Jedi-like. That's a trait my master taught me and I pass onto my Padawans. Being fantasy, virtual Jedi, we avoid using bugs as we play cleanly - the way Jedi should fight.

This is simply why I play the way I do. Others will feel different having their own reasons, which is fine as well. I don't even have a problem with that. They're entitled, right?
There are tons of different styles in JKA. The best thing anyone can do, is to go out and fight as many as they can. If they loose, it simply means they should come up with a way to deal with a style. (And if they dislike the style, don't play them.) The experience will make them a more complete fighter.
