A "reckoning" is a final accounting/closing out, and when used in this context, with Victoria, is meaning that you don't want to face that final accounting because it will not be in your favor. To desire a reckoning is to seek full and final closure - if you desire that with Victoria, you will be what is final and, unless you seek to cease your existence, you do not want to seek that reckoning. That is what is being said.
It doesn't work that way.
The other meaning of "reckoning", which you refer to, is not the one used in the expression.
There is no "reckoned", from that use. You face "a reckoning", but you are not "reckoned".

The expression is specific; A force to be reckoned with.
A force not to be reckoned with, is a force you do not need to consider.
It's a typo.
There is no typo and no ambiguity, only a lack of comprehension on the part of those that believe that to be the case.
Ha ha ha ha, fucking hell. :FacePalm:
It's a statement of literal fact.
It's not a question of "belief". I could "believe" that "Hippo" meant "moron", is doesn't make it so.

He might have intended that meaning, but it's not what was written.
Reckoning literally means "calculating/estimating".
You have to calculate the threat an enemy poses, unless they are insignificant.

What was written was clearly a typo, because it literally, specifically means she is no threat.
When he intended to point out what an extreme threat she is.

No, it honestly doesn't.
It does not, in any way, imply that you will challenge them.
It simply means you need to be aware/beware of them, because you have identified them as a significant threat.
Then we must agree to disagree, my friend. Like I already said, just my humble opinion on how I read it.
You are entitled to your own interpretation. I prefer to give Philly the benefit of the doubt.

It's not "my" interpretation.
It's what the expression means.

I'm afraid that you are ignoring the literal definition, to make it to fit with your personal interpretation, which does not work with what the expression means.
It does. At least if you are skilled in English and linguistic arts.

I take it you are entirely left brained if you can't figure out alternative usages of language, but only those that are the most familiar. I fear your corpus callosum is more 12v than 765,000VAC.
I see you've got your head overinflated with that ego. Must be stopping blood flow. :LOL::ROFLMAO:

Words, expressions and phrases have definitions.
If your usage does not fall within those definitions, then it's literally incorrect.

It takes years for word definitions to change & it only happens through common vernacular usage.
The phrase IS "A force to be reckoned with."
There is NO phrase, "A force not to be reckoned with."
It was obviously a mistake.

But, of course, with those English & linguistic skills, you already knew that. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
Otherwise you must be a Hippo.

I love Philly, but he made a typo. Everyone does every day.
Stop making far-fetched interpretations that make no sense.

Dude... you are arguing with yourself now. Stop including me in your little rant world bullshit... PLEASE!
Read, before opening your mouth, for the love of whichever deity you prefer. :FacePalm:
Literally, the post above yours:
It was a typo; Philly fixed it. Vic *is* a force to be reckoned with. :LOL:
There is NO expression "A force not to be reckoned with". It does not exist, except in error.
You were both wrong. Get over it.

Again, this week was focused on writing and code, then putting it all together. Very happy with the results. Next week will be a balance of everything again.

For the preview I had a hard time picking which shot I wanted to use. A lot of really cool images to choose from. Can't wait for you guys to see. Let's just say we see side a side of Victoria that we have not seen in a long time. We tend to forget she is a force not to be reckoned with when fists start flying.

Also the poll for customs is now live, so for everyone who is Ghost tier and up, get your votes in. I will set those up on Tuesday.

As always guys, stay awesome!

Philly
Nice preview! Is that an Artemis wannabe?

DROP IT! NOW! I made one suggestion and never claimed it was gospel, only my opinion and I still hold that same opinion. I also said you are entitled to your opinion. I AM DONE WITH THIS!!! JUST STOP!!! THERE IS NO PRIZE! THERE IS NOTHING TO WIN!!! STFU already.
It's not my opinion. It's the literal definition of the expression. :FacePalm:
There is no expression "not to be reckoned with", it does not exist.

Your "opinion" was contrary to facts. It was contrary to the literal definition of the term.
Now it's proven to be contrary to what the dev meant.
Your opinion was obviously, blatantly wrong.

Get over it, you're not making yourself look good here, particularly screaming like that.
Face facts, you were wrong. Even the dev has admitted the mistake, but you're still going...
No-one has attacked you for being wrong, we've just pointed it out, with proof of why.
Deal with it like an adult, not this.

I wonder who is the blonde girl inside the water tank? She looks like with Gloria. Is she some kind of Gloria's clone? Is Baynard got DNA samples from Gloria and created some kind of clone version of our blondie? If so, the Baynard could want Gloria for more DNA samples? Hum!

It is Sherlock Holmes time, my friends.:LOL::LOL::alien::alien: This charade is becoming to make sense for me now.

Yeah, can definitely see how it comes about. (y)
But I don't see why people feel the need to argue that their opinion is correct, in the face of facts that prove it's not. :WeSmart:
The dev said it was a mistake.
So it was a mistake. End of. lol
I'm a little disappointed that Philly fixed it. I was looking forward to a typo turning into a duel to the death. :LOL:

whichone is relentless. Never give up when you know you're right. (y)

Fortunately, this site has an option to simply click "Ignore" and not have to read that shit.
Peace out, Phat:devilish::cool:(y)
Ignorance is presumably your default position, then.
"I don't care that the dev said it was a mistake. Those facts that proved me wrong are shit. I don't want to read them."
:LOL::ROFLMAO:
Unreal. :FacePalm:
