You got it all wrong, that statement is not supposed to boost my other's statement power, it's supposed to show my incredulity when I read your post. If you didn't know, before this rule, it was perfectly acceptable for an admin to warn/kick a horse archer for delaying, even if he still had arrows and the chance to fight.
I gave you the hand, you try to take the arm. Nope.
Ok. Then this shows this was a revolutionary change. But hey! There's always better. When Thomas Moore wrote "the utopia" it was the most ideal utopia mankind have ever dreamed of. But now, it's flaws can be spotted very easily by everyone who has a bit of an idea about the subject.
So I'm offering an even more revolutionary (in my perception) idea. Since it is very unfair that a horse archer have to dismount and engage in melee while it has no melee stats, even lacking a good amount of athletics. While on the other hand, since the other guy can not fight back with a ranged weapon; this makes him a melee class which makes him far more superior in close combat.
Now, what I suggest is; make it so that, when the melee guy hides behind some walls and the horse archer guy can not shoot him. Let them wait for the flag first.
If the flag doesn't appear make it so that, Horse Archer has to use
a melee weapon; from horseback (or dismounted if he/she wants). While the melee guy,
should not be hiding anymore to make it possible the Horse Archer to use it's horse. This is, I think, is a much more fair treatment. Not saying it is the best, but I personally can not think anything better. Thereby, I suggest it.
And ok. That might be your style of writing. But that is what this statement does normally. Or is where it actually originated from. I see many people use the same style as well, so it is percieved as a natural behavior in here. However I would wish that people would stop using these. So it is actually you gave me the hand, I embraced it and gave my arm. You did not take it. Or I am highly schizophreniac. Or we think we are talking in the same language, but we don't in reality.
