Crafty, the assumption that my description of why the slug is the best weapon on the SS is also somehow a statement on the best way to learn how to deal with difficult situations really bugs me. Could you not apply my words where they're not meant to be applied?
I will maintain that you should get into as many sustained fights out in the open with the SS as you can.
Then you will be a Sharpie that fights well in sustained fights out in the open.
I would not advise avoiding such situations, because then you will have robbed yourself of some important experiences that I assert will be vital in your developement as a sharpie.
My favorite Sharpies don't hide or run much.
Sorry if it seems to you that I'm wrongfully applying or making outrageous assumptions of your words.
Please don't be bothered when I point out where I am so right and you, my dear friend, are so wrong.
You see, I'm going all in for Kamikaze AM-Sar wherever it's available be it SS or Reaper.
I will defend this philosophy at all cost and die alone on this hill.
With all my love and respect.
