In reply to: Albert 's message, "Feinting" on 00:44:00 April 28 2003, Monday

I made the following points about 10 minutes after reading the post, to Ben. He requested I not post the answer, as that would ruin it for everyone else. You have made some good points, including the first one I made.

Given that a feint is "A deceptive action calculated to divert attention from one's real purpose", the only part of that exchange that could possibly constitute a feint was him talking, as the "real purpose" is him actually attacking the person.

Since he said "I am going to use a feint", not "I am using a feint", he was lying, as the only other action we see following this annoucement is clearly not a feint. My first point was pretty much exactly what you said.

After I made this point, Ben decided to up the challenge rating by changing the statement to "At some point in this duel, either in the future, or presently, I am going to feint".

My second point in response to that was that he wasn't lying, as him saying that was feinting, unless he was really dumb, and DIDN'T do it to try to confuse his opponent.

So, Albert, congrats. You solved it as well, though after I did, because frankly, I seriously doubt that you were talking to Ben when he updated.
