You're thinking of a botched roll in the d10 systems.

This is pretty similar to something I had to recently fix:

Say you designate the first 12 bits (2048) of a 32-bit number (normal unsigned int) as a bitmask identifying an instance type.  You define the bitmasks as 0-2047 then do shift-left of 20 to move the masks into the right positions. 

Let's then say that you forget that you only have 0-2047 as available bitmasks, and someone later comes in and decides to use 2048.  When you do the shift-left of 20, you lose the most significant bit, so it effectively becomes the same as a bitmask of 0. 

If instance "types" were somehow dynamically allocated, but the number of instance types that could be generated exceeded the effective address space, you would get collisions and effectively share instances that shouldn't be shared.

Just one example of how something like this could lead to unexpected performance problems.

Lol you fell into my cleverly "woven" trap, I epic trolled you by getting you to respond lolz. If you respond again it just shows how I manipulate you. If you remain silent you are obviously conceding defeat and thereby acknowledging my supremacy.

Our DMs were non retarded. Consequently, they didn't use dumbass fuckwit houserules that just say play a fucking caster, you fucking fucker. Also, Vorpal is shit, so why would you use it at all?

See, retards like you are meant to use shitty systems like this one:

That way, you can have characters get worse at things as they get better at them because everyone is too fucking stupid to understand how math works!

Cute. Not only are you copying me, but you're copying Oak as well since he already has the be a cheap, incompetent knock off of me market cornered.

Cheap knock off of a cheap knock off?

Shouldn't you be getting sold by malware powered bots like the cheap whore you are? Or did they refuse to take you because you were damaged goods after I was done manhandling you?

Edit: Look who posted while I was writing this!

I liked the part where you failed at reading comprehension, thinking things through, and doing your fucking research again and thought he made that picture.



Here it is for you, in a form even you can understand:

Squelch: I'll make a... special image for him. I think you'll like it.
Squelch: http://s7.postimage.org/4smvi4x6f/Smoak_Herpaderp.png

Three different references here, all should be easy to understand.
Squelch: Though the real reason I'm messaging you again... that Oak Herpaderp picture. Are you going to use it for anything? If not I will but I don't want to mess with your game and vice versa.
Strake: The pic you sent me?  Go ahead and use it.
Squelch: Ok. I'll save it for the right time.

I am really slow, but even I can see how Strake played you. I am not really slow, but I wanted you to feel good about yourself. Why would he use that stupid ass picture? That is the most frivaldink idea I ever heard.

This is awesome.  Hi Welcome is still responding.  We're trolling him so bad!!!

Oh wait, you're still responding as well...

So what the fuck is this, a troll orgy?
