Then he could have easily argued it as such, he didn't, he questioned my response as if it were pointless.

Gyson is a fucking antagonist, read up on his posts. The guy starts more trolls on this board than anyone in its history.

Huh. I wonder why you didn't jump down Freche's throat immediately?

Let's review the flow of this discussion again:

So, If I am crouched in a ball and covering as much as possible, I am exposing less area to the fire, but when I open up and move though it, I expose more areas which increases my burn area. This is a physics experiment. Ball a wad of paper tightly and see how fast it burns, but open it up, allowing maximum exposure to the surface, and it burns much faster.

It isn't perfect, but the idea that moving increasing your burn damage isn't unreasonable. Now why running would be more damage than walking, well... that one is debatable.


Why are we comparing a ball of wadded paper to a warrior standing on a burning surface trading blows with an opponent? I think we can safely say the Warrior is not "crouched in a ball and covering as much as possible". And yet standing on a damaging elemental surface fighting = less elemental damage than walking even one step across it.


Please tell me you aren't this fucking stupid? Please? I refuse to believe that you could read what I wrote and be that fucking oblivious to the point.

If you are too stupid to figure it out, the "Crouched in a ball" aspect was merely to explain the concept. Seriously... I am at a loss how fucking idiotic people can be this day. Do you guys labor for breath? /boggle


Yes, that last comment was certainly trollish. Wait.. that was from you, not me.

Now, if you're done picking a fight with me (again) I'd like to get back to the actual topic of this thread.
