Combat Strategy Class

Sometimes this class makes no sense. I'm supposed to take notes though, so here goes.

When you do something your enemy expects, they'll not expect you to do it, because they know you know they expect it, but because they know you know you expect it, don't do it because they'll be expecting you to expect what they expected and not act upon it.

And then, because they expect what you expected them to expect when you expected their actions… um, I'm totally lost. Where was I? Never mind.

Wait, I got it! Just tell your enemies you're expecting them to expect the expecting that you expect when they expected what you were going to expect, and while their gears are still cranking, trying to figure that one out, BLAST THEIR RUSTY BUCKETS OUT OF THE SKY!!

There. That makes much more sense.

There's something to be said for circular logic, mostly that it leads you in circles and then off on a wild goose chase. I don't know how anyone can understand it, much less teach it. This class is awful. I think if we use these tactics, the robots really will beat us, because we won't remember which comes next, us expecting or them.

WHAT THE HECK HAS THIS WORLD COME TO?!

Oh yeah, now we're on to this next one. If you lead them away from the battle, they'll become suspicious, unless they're chasing you away from the battle, not suspecting that you're actually the one leading them, even though they're the ones chasing you.

AM I THE ONLY ONE CONFUSED?! WHOEVER MADE THIS STUFF UP NEEDS A LIFE! SERIOUSLY!!

And now we're on to the next point. On with the mind-numbing freak show of evil circular logic…
