BS file claim#1: Earth = RL heartland

[NSWAFL]

I don't think it was bogus. It was clear as glass I would have thought.

Xman is much smarter than you nsw, so I suggest you zippit real quick and hold on to the scant respect you still have.

Xman I can see your point however you are still forgetting some things. YOU put the claim up! YOU are the challenger.It wasnt misleading to me and I even showd you what I meant in the original post.

I think we're getting there now. Have a think over it matey and get back to me. And then gimme that bestest and smartest point.

[NSWAFL]

No, King, you are dumb as a stump if you think I'm falling for that gibberish. We all knew what you meant. Stop making excuses, break the stalemate and admit to your error. And admit that Earth does NOT equal RL heartland!

You made the claim for a reason. This reason goes against the very nature of the BS file. Man up and decant.

[King-Eliagh]

OK, here's a big tip for all you keen BS file players!

Do not challenge a claim that could have multiple meanings until you know the context of the claim!

All the claimant has to do is prove their interpretation of the claim to win! The fact the challenger has a different interpretation of the claim, or that the claim could have more than one meaning is irrelevant. This may not be the interpretation that was used when the claim was made!

I would suggest in cases such as these the potential challenger asks for clarification of the meaning of the claim before challenging it.

Well I hope this handy tip has helped all you BS file players out there! Happy playing! :D

Xman honestly, how many times do I have to grab your own hand and slap your head with it?

You started this now you're half way to manning up and admitting defeat. Just because you have a different interpretation to mine is irrelevant! As you said. You can call my claim bogus all you like but by your very definition, its not going to give you the win.

Just click that button and award me my bestest and smartest point already. Gimme it. I've won. I'm proud you have admitted you cant win anymore but you need to go all the way here if you wish to be seen as a real man. If I were you I'd do it. Especially because your own words above highlight your error. You're human mate, its not a bad thing to make mistakes, and your respect in these forums will rise dramatically if you're seen to man up and admit. Heck, I make mistakes, lots of em, as we all do.

[NSWAFL]

And you made a big one this time, King! Admit it! Earth <> RL Heartland!

[King-Eliagh]

Shoo you lil pest. Me and Xman are working through this.

[NSWAFL]

No you aren't. You are one stubborn mule, King.

[Xman]

Shoo you lil pest. Me and Xman are working through this.

There's nothing to work through. The case is closed and you were exhibit B.

[King-Eliagh]

Yes we are. Xman knows he's made a mistake here, I've bolded and highlighted his misdemeanor in red above. He's coming around and recognising he was wrong to put this up as a BS file and that he has not been able to prove diddly. I've won, it was a fun fight and I just hope we can all keep in the spirit of the BS files and see it all as good spirited fun and then gimme my bestest and fairest point.

I've recognized gaining a point by 'unique' interpretations or deception is against the very concept of the BS file, which is for legitimate claims and challenges.

Yours was not and therefore will not earn a point, and nor should it.

[King-Eliagh]

But...I beat you?

I think we both agree it was foolish of you to put this case up but should I be punished for this? I defended my claim superbly and you were unable to prove me wrong, thus you gimme bestest and fairest point. Yes?

You won't be punished. You just won't be rewarded. Nor should you. The claim you made, while being technically correct, is still ludicrous and would never normally be used in the context of sport. Maybe in the context of interstellar travel yes, but not sport or code wars.

[King-Eliagh]

You won't be punished.The claim you made ... being technically correct...

I read that if the claim is proven to be correct then you get the bestest and smartest point. Technically correct is very correct in my book, bestest and smartest, gimme one.

[NSWAFL]

Xman just give him a BS point. His claim about a technicality doesn't exist. "Earth = RL Heartland" is BS plain as day, and any "interstellar" claim is total crap! He has to prove there is life on other planets in other to validate that, and that is impposible to prove either way.

There is no technically correct. There is no correct on King's side at all. He gets a BS point because there is only one context to his comment. The context of sport.
