Indeed. (But the alternative would have been much less wounding to his pride.) _________________ "The one concession a sane man will never yield the universe is that of considering it seriously."

A wise man knows that if you have to take a severe wound, it's best to take it to your pride. It grows back, and tends to heal faster then a bullet hole. _________________

Wounds to the pride have two major advantages:
1. The fool lives to get his pride damaged another day.
2. Gaping wounds in one's pride tend to hurt more than gaping wounds in one's chest. _________________ Gryphons are better than dragons. Gryphons PURR. |

They also have a third advantage:
You can still wound the victim physically after you wound their pride.
Might be difficult to do it the other way around. _________________

It can be done the other way around, but it requires finesse and certain... sadistic tendancies. And often quite expensive specialised equipment.
(Good lord, I sounded like Kolya of the Genii for a second there. Yikes.)
I've also noticed that humiliating someone tends to make them a lot more hissy than just smacking them down. If you punch them out, they can at least say they went down in a 'fair' fight. If you just outright humiliate them, there's not all that much they can do to reclaim their dignity. _________________ Gryphons are better than dragons. Gryphons PURR. |

Is it just me or does Kiku have an odd and disturbing fascination with poking people's wounds? I mean I don't usually walk up to someone, notice that they are wounded, and give it a poke to see how badly it hurts them. That's just creepy, (although apparently very effective )

Yeeeah, I guess even Kiku 2.0 isn't 100% socially adjusted.
At least this time the pokee is an enemy. _________________ "The one concession a sane man will never yield the universe is that of considering it seriously."

Well, there's always that I guess
On a different note the bellyflop off a cliff was good. It made me do this:
And now I want to know the Badit Leader's past. I see those burn marks. So did he go after the postman or what?
I WANNA KNOW!!!
