Don't philosophers answer questions?

Definitely lock time. Let the readers decide.

I am sure people will see that I was the only one working logically step by step and justifying my argument with rules.

JinkDragon hit the nail on the head that most of you work from a Fundamental Concept that isn't in the rules. It's fine if you all want to add the Fundamental Concept but that's a house rule and should be clearly marked as such.

And also JinkDragon's post above only augmented my argument. Everything he pointed out was solid except for the black hole bit, since the black hole bit only comes from reading into the rules.

Then why fear answering a question?
A strong argument can withstand any questioning, even absurd ones.
I'd still like to hear your answer. Its not too late...

Again:
If we do not use a Flight Mode, have we used only the Gliding Flight mode?

I only answer serious questions. You are not being serious. Discussing absurdly literal reads is pointless and you are just being disruptive.

So back up, throw out the absurd silly stuff and get back to the real debate.

You have yet to answer any serious questions. You have deliberately ignored them in fact. Your making up rules as you go at this point and then changing your argument when each one is proven wrong. Jinx just showed your latest one to be wrong. What is your next theory??

If he frames the question in such a way that the Flyrant can't shoot or manifest psychic powers then its not a serious question.

So no answer?
The debate cannot continue.

No more silly than your post that a Flyrant can both Glide and Swoop in the same turn and not break any rules.

Are you proposing that the Flyrant can take no action except use its Gliding Flight Mode? No shooting? No pychic powers?

Why do you answer questions with absurd questions?

Because those questions are the consequences of how he frames the question. I don't need to answer questions that have absurd repercussions and are not indeed serious questions with a serious proposal behind them.

You have not answered any questions in this thread by numerous questioners. You have failed to put together any logical argument.

SO, since it seems that nobody is actually interested in futher discussion on the actual topic, we seem to be done here.
