"To fight and conquer in all our battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting."

As written by Sun Tzu in his Art of War.

I find it oddly suitable for our current situation.

Who's to say this is any different from our usual situation?

Private fivestepsahead March 15 2011, 04:41:25 UTC

I find that difficult to believe.

Private batmanschmatman March 15 2011, 04:44:38 UTC

And you'd be right. I'd say I'm impressed you picked up on it, but... you're you.

Private fivestepsahead March 15 2011, 04:47:08 UTC

Tell me what you know.

Did something else happen?

[Text] fivestepsahead March 15 2011, 04:53:47 UTC

That depends. Did 'something' happen first?

[He doesn't know Bruce. So he'll go with the safe answers first.] My inmate was murdered and is currently death-tolling. What current situation are you referring to?

Your inmate isn't the only one.

For a ship meant for rehabilitation, not many seem to have control over their temper.

Hey, someone with good taste in reading material, for once...

You flicked through Musashi's 'The Book Of Five Rings', too? They're pretty good in conjunction.

"The important thing in strategy is to suppress the enemy's useful actions but allow his useless actions." [ Something like a hint??? ]

It's good reading.

[ He read it at 12. In Japanese. Did I mention he was a really freaky kid. ]

Rayne sees your childhood and raises you her possible own. rayney_day March 15 2011, 05:05:50 UTC

Nobody appreciates the classics, man... They get told Shakespeare's everything and leave it at that.

childhood comparisons always end in tears tho fivestepsahead March 15 2011, 05:13:45 UTC

Shakespeare is... adequate. [ He's trying to not say useless. ]

Have you read Rand?

In what way?

fivestepsahead March 15 2011, 05:16:57 UTC

That's what I'm trying to confirm.

with_discipline March 15 2011, 05:19:24 UTC

A vague endeavor. [But she wants some answers too. :|]

fivestepsahead March 15 2011, 05:22:09 UTC

It's a vague situation to begin with.

private;

You seem to have clues.

Planning on breaking others' resistances here?

fivestepsahead March 15 2011, 05:17:52 UTC

A rather strange conclusion to come to.

imaginationlol March 15 2011, 07:00:52 UTC

You're the one who said it was suitable.

fivestepsahead March 15 2011, 07:11:42 UTC

Suitable can mean descriptive as well.
