There is another player playing a "pacifist" character who is at least level 25. He kites dragons to towns to kill them and kites dungeon bosses into traps. He figures he could beat the main quest with only a single kill - the final boss.

Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.

You'll look up and down streets. Look 'em over with care.
About some you will say, "I don't choose to go there."
With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet,
you're too smart to go down any not-so-good street.

And you may not find any
you'll want to go down.
In that case, of course,
you'll head straight out of town.

It's opener there
in the wide open air.

Out there things can happen
and frequently do
to people as brainy
and footsy as you.

And when things start to happen,
don't worry. Don't stew.
Just go right along.
You'll start happening too.

OH!
THE PLACES YOU'LL GO!

You'll be on your way up!
You'll be seeing great sights!
You'll join the high fliers
who soar to high heights.

You won't lag behind, because you'll have the speed.
You'll pass the whole gang and you'll soon take the lead.
Wherever you fly, you'll be the best of the best.
Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.

Except when you don't
Because, sometimes, you won't.

I'm sorry to say so
but, sadly, it's true
and Hang-ups
can happen to you.

You can get all hung up
in a prickle-ly perch.
And your gang will fly on.
You'll be left in a Lurch.

You'll come down from the Lurch
with an unpleasant bump.
And the chances are, then,
that you'll be in a Slump.

And when you're in a Slump,
you're not in for much fun.
Un-slumping yourself
is not easily done.

You will come to a place where the streets are not marked.
Some windows are lighted. But mostly they're darked.
A place you could sprain both your elbow and chin!
Do you dare to stay out? Do you dare to go in?
How much can you lose? How much can you win?

And IF you go in, should you turn left or right...
or right-and-three-quarters? Or, maybe, not quite?
Or go around back and sneak in from behind?
Simple it's not, I'm afraid you will find,
for a mind-maker-upper to make up his mind.

You can get so confused
that you'll start in to race
down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace
and grind on for miles across weirdish wild space,
headed, I fear, toward a most useless place.
The Waiting Place...

...for people just waiting.
Waiting for a train to go
or a bus to come, or a plane to go
or the mail to come, or the rain to go
or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow
or waiting around for a Yes or a No
or waiting for their hair to grow.
Everyone is just waiting.

Waiting for the fish to bite
or waiting for wind to fly a kite
or waiting around for Friday night
or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake
or a pot to boil, or a Better Break
or a string of pearls, or a pair of pants
or a wig with curls, or Another Chance.
Everyone is just waiting.

NO!
That's not for you!

Somehow you'll escape
all that waiting and staying.
You'll find the bright places
where Boom Bands are playing.

With banner flip-flapping,
once more you'll ride high!
Ready for anything under the sky.
Ready because you're that kind of a guy!

Oh, the places you'll go! There is fun to be done!
There are points to be scored. there are games to be won.
And the magical things you can do with that ball
will make you the winning-est winner of all.
Fame! You'll be famous as famous can be,
with the whole wide world watching you win on TV.

Except when they don't.
Because, sometimes, they won't.

I'm afraid that some times
you'll play lonely games too.
Games you can't win
'cause you'll play against you.

All Alone!
Whether you like it or not,
Alone will be something
you'll be quite a lot.

And when you're alone, there's a very good chance
you'll meet things that scare you right out of your pants.
There are some, down the road between hither and yon,
that can scare you so much you won't want to go on.

But on you will go
though the weather be foul
On you will go
though your enemies prowl
On you will go
though the Hakken-Kraks howl
Onward up many
a frightening creek,
though your arms may get sore
and your sneakers may leak.

On and on you will hike
and I know you'll hike far
and face up to your problems
whatever they are.

You'll get mixed up, of course,
as you already know.
You'll get mixed up
with many strange birds as you go.
So be sure when you step.
Step with care and great tact
and remember that Life's
a Great Balancing Act.
Just never forget to be dexterous and deft.
And never mix up your right foot with your left.

And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed!
(98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)

KID, YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!

So...
be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray
or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O'Shea,
you're off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
So...get on your way!

I know you weren't the one crying about the downvote, and my smarmy reply was intended for Payback, not you.

As to messenger's original comment, we obviously read it/into it differently. I don't think he was suggesting what you thought he was. I took his comment in the context of the video (plane starting on the ground), which is the way I believe he meant it. I wasn't exactly sure what part of his comment you were being critical of, which may be the reason for my extremely basic explanation. It wasn't to be condescending.
In reply to this comment by sirex:
I guess critical flaw is perhaps over-egging it. But the original statement seems misleading to me. It suggests that without a propulsion system any aircraft is incapable of flight, which is obviously incorrect. Its likely just a case of clarification, but yes, once airborne the aircraft will lose forward momentum and be carried by the wind the same as any lump of rubbish in a hurricane, at that stage its likely its acting as a kite rather than anything aerodynamic.

(Also, i couldn't care less about comment votes. Its the internet.)

There is a hell of a big difference between fantasy and reality. Trying to equate the two in any topical debate about any impassioned modern problem and it will turn into a circle of debate fired on by the blathers-kites that would idiotically decide to argue any of it's points. A circus of clowns?

If you argue to be swayed by the things that don't exist you in fact give away detail of your mind and psychologically, a stronger suite of knowledge that in fact--ironically--makes you more susceptible to do exactly what Samuel was warning against. Samuel is talking about control, and finding help or gaining control so that you will not commit these crimes. But, if you watch the movies and give into them you become quite unstable and out of control; no matter what you think.

Fantasy in control of reality is quite the joke, but some see to think we should be worried and I have to wonder why? All I can say is go see a psychiatrist soon.

This goes back to Video Games, Rock & Roll, Dancing, Dungeons and Dragons, Movies, The Internet, etc--all of which were the ultimate undoing of our youth, and in quite a few of these cases it did exactly the opposite of what was said. The opposing view always have the exact same type of psychological profile.

Go fly a kite.

I'm thinking the caption works better if you add two words...

"[We THOUGHT] we were high as kites, then these people showed up."

next up-- kite surfing

A chemistry teacher I once had supposedly used to do this with Sterno canned heat and dry cleaning bags. I guess they're quite the spectacle and have led to UFO reports before; the transparent bags glow purple and can make it to the stratosphere if they don't fall on a house and burn it down first.

It's illegal according to FAA:

§ 101.7 Hazardous operations.

(a) No person may operate any moored balloon, kite, amateur rocket, or unmanned free balloon in a manner that creates a hazard to other persons, or their property.

(b) No person operating any moored balloon, kite, amateur rocket, or unmanned free balloon may allow an object to be dropped therefrom, if such action creates a hazard to other persons or their property.

Kite Man is a pretty terrible super hero name..

@<a rel="nofollow" href="http://videosift.com/member/rychan" title="member since June 20th, 2007" class="profilelink">rychan "Ron Paul could make the same argument about child abuse. "How many of you are going to go beat your children unless the government tells you not to? See! We don't need those laws"."
Equating child abuse and self-destructive behaviour is a reach, don't you think? A junkie getting his fix is hardly violence against a child. Granted, it might be a cause and effect, but until the person raises their hand to the child, they are only hurting themselves. To equate a violent act against a child with a substance addiction diminshes the violence.


I wasn't trying to compare the crimes but rather the enforcement mechanisms -- the idea that because a reasonable person wouldn't do it, we don't need law enforcement of it. That's clearly not a compelling argument.

Child abuse is obviously terrible. So is heroin use, though. It kills 100,000 people every year according to this article: http://articles.cnn.com/2009-10-21/world/un.heroin.trade_1_afghan-opium-heroin-fund-attacks?_s=PM:WORLD

I happen to have an opinion, unpopular on sites like VideoSift or Reddit, that it is not possible to responsibly use certain drugs and that it is in society's clear interest to suppress their usage. If you want to go off to a remote island and get high as a kite then obviously that doesn't impact me. But if you're in my community, trying to raise children, using my roads and public spaces, creating problems for my police department, why should I acquiesce to your horribly destructive addiction? I think drugs like heroin should be illegal and mandatory treatment should be required of those who use them.

No kite ?
