Why must there be a reason? Because Spysong192 doesn't understand or agree with the one that clearly exists. There are 10 pages of discussion already so far, Spysong. I would posit that the reason was to share one's thoughts with one's peers to provoke discussion, if others felt inclined to do so. Reason enough for me, anyway.

BTW if your first step to trying to "discover" something is to take away what is popular and effective because you don't like that mechanic, then you probably aren't creative enough to find that discovery.

This is old news. Honestly, this is worse than the metaphor between a chess player and a pidgeon. This is like playing chess with the pidgeon's...

I want nothing to be "popular", and I want people to discover their own idea of effectiveness. That's true gamer spirit. You have the same avatar as Psyborg on Page 1, but you are worlds apart.

PoE community mostly consists of people who are either children in mind or body. You can't argue with those. No point.

Then you're going to be really disappointed. I'm out.

There never was a point to anything anyone ever does anywhere.

I do what I do. That's all I do. Is do. That's what I do.

You can´t estimate how right you are.

You seem to have this obfuscated sense of understanding about what I'm debating. You think I want to kill off PoE's HP and ES intentions, but that isn't true. All I'm doing is this:

If I was a porn star. I would show a girl that there is more than her holes that she could open... She could open her heart and mind. You could say this is defeating the purpose of her job, but I disagree, and insist that life is too fleeting for moments to close yourself up to. If there are opportunities, be opened for them at all times.

I don't want to be right. I want to be accurate.

You're making the definition of killing so broad that it's essentially meaningless.

To 'kill' something must be alive. If it is not alive then you can not kill it.

This applies to video games because in the game monsters/npcs/enimies are alive in some fashion even if considered undead.

You can not 'kill' a puzzle in any way shape or form because it is not alive. Tell me how you are killing a rubrix cube when its not alive?

And To get to the part where your post is plain dumb and sounds like your trolling.

You talk of burning fuel as killing. First Fuel is not alive. Second nothing is actually being lost when you burn fuel it is simply changing forms. Law of Mass and Energy Conservation ever heard of it? Nothing is ever gained or loss it only changes form. Next you should know this very simple equation E=MC^2. You know that guy with the crazy white hair came up with it and the equation is probably said thousands of times before you actually take a class to really learn it? What that stands for is the amount of energy you get from mass.

As such you can not kill anything if it is not alive because mass and energy are not lost in the process of any chemical reaction.

I was making a point. It doesn't mean that I personally agree with it. It means that you should tell this to those who think it's sensible, to those who make statements like: "Kill time.", "Kill the lights.", "Kill the idea.", "Kill the source", et cetera. I was merely turning that into jokes when it came to the golf games, puzzles and race car fuel.
