On what scale? What test did you take and where?
Basically, I think you are, well, making it up. Since both a form of social competence and language skills are part of all real IQ tests you would have to have scored off the charts in all other areas to achieve a score of 185 on <b>any</b> IQ test. I know, because I've actually taken a real IQ test (and no, I didn't get 185) <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Of all the categories being measured in an IQ test the language part is by far the one that will give the biggest every-day impression. You are not likely to be able to show off your incredible spatial ability but your language skills will be shown in all interaction.

Having read almost all of the 5 pages, I can't remeber the numbering, I think the turrets are fine as they are, no changes needed. That being said let me point this out; there would posibly only be 3 maybe 4 pages if the author didn't replay so darn many times with quotes and instead edited his posts to include the additional quotations.
Your continued lack of use of the simplest of gramatical punctuation marks, the apostraphy (') and capitalizations, does not help your position when discussing linguistic skills. Leaving out the ' in I've, even using ive instead, continues to overshadow any coherency of thought previously mentioned, for most people (IMHO). That you are near, at, or past the point of graduation is alarming for those of us with children still in the system.
Seriously, at least TRY to show you have the needed skills, your steadfast lack of communication skills is what has gotten this thread to 5 pages and will probably have it grow to six or seven, especially if you continue to quote each individual post one after the other when you return to find several replys after one of yours. Correcting the spelling mistakes in your original post (at least spelling turrets correctly) will get you more of the desired results than leaving things the way they are.
I applaud your determination, BUT I suggest you try to come to some middle ground on the issue of communication.
oh yes, the poll! I remember. Uh, I think they're fine as they function now. What number is that?
See, that is what happenes when you're communicating AGAINST people and not TO them. Style matters, we're all latent mean nitpickers, so if one wants something from The Public, one must address The Public in a manner it can relate to positively. Frankly you seem to be acting a bit immature, and your spelling isn't too good. Both are favourite prey among the race of Mean Nitpickers. And you try to stand **** in a barrage of falling bricks. Another lovely trait sought by the voracious Nitpickers <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
edit: LOL the profanity filters out the word that rhymes with "eject" but has an r instead of a j. Geez, prudes! Get over it.
Having forgotten the numbers in the Poll, I will just speak my opinion on turrets.
Personally, I believe that they are currently fine, although maybe the price could be rounded at 20 for a little better tracking?
The next thing to debate: Is the Stratagy Pole overpowered? I can kill an Onos with it in two prods! (Sorry, I couldn't resist it, but then again, the edit button is there for a reason.)

Ok, so even if I don't know much about IQ tests, this is an internet forum - Communication happens through written words, and if one has egregious bad grammar and spelling, people are going to assume that you are wrong.
I am not calling you stupid, ash, but rather I am trying to explain why other people incessantly flame you and make fun of you.
I know plenty of people who are not verbally articulate yet are amazingly smart. You may be one of those people, but here, it's your writing skills that convey your intelligence.
So I incorrectly used "IQ." Now you guys jump on me for that. Who's flaming who here?
