Member Ranks and Reputation Levels- strategy and tactics

[JamesSavik]

Remember the wisdom of the masters.

 

The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting. In the case of internet forums you must use wit and charm.

 

Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak. Bait your opponent into a carefully laid snare and he will lunge into it.

 

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.

 

Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.

 

All warfare is based on deception. All defeat is based in self-deception.

 

Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.

 

Supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.

 

When strong, avoid them. If of high morale, depress them. Seem humble to fill them with conceit. If at ease, exhaust them. If united, separate them. Attack their weaknesses. Emerge to their surprise.

 

Engage people with what they expect; it is what they are able to discern and confirms their projections. It settles them into predictable patterns of response, occupying their minds while you wait for the extraordinary moment — that which they cannot anticipate.

 

Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.

 

All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.

 

When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.

 

One mark of a great soldier is that he fight on his own terms or fights not at all.

 

 

If all that fails, you can post silly cat pictures and fart jokes.
