As well,

I stepped forward, let the door bang closed, and snarled, "Fuck subtle.”
And on that note, wizards are also uniquely rare in that they can bargain -- successfully -- with dragons, and get them to do things.

So I would be far more cautious around wizards if I were you.

The win has been removed and is now on the Mountain of Despair beyond the River of Fire guarded by the Dragons of Eternity. Or possibly in my safe-deposit box.

...

P.S. Speaking from experience, I don't see any impressive dragons around here, unless you mean that little wyvern in the corner.

Silently stealing away the win from wizards and dragons.

You clearly haven't been paying attention, or you would be aware that you only had a potential win for a bit over two hours, which has long shrivelled into a sad, meaningless loss in your safe-deposit box or wherever.

As this potential will win, sooner rather than later, I'm afraid.

Actually, I am far more depressed that you don't seem to actually get what I was referring to.

Also, since when does a stolen win leave behind a tangible presence?

It is a common misconception that folks have the win in their possession while their post is temporarily the last one in this thread. However, as I explained yesterday, that is only the potentiality of the win, not the win itself. The win itself has never existed; it will only come into being when this thread ends. So you can hide your potential wins wherever you like, you have never had the win in your possession. Sorry.

And your last potential win has just now turned into an eternal loss. C'est la vie...

I don't understand the problem. My win exists just the same as dragons exist.

Indeed. What a shame that all you get here are merely potential online wins...
