Problems with trolls in the lobby/forums

Were all trolls guys, and I have just discovered that Spring is in Fact a the under area of a bridge..

Demo, I mucked up that thread, because it had degenerated from any sort of usable conversation about porcing, into a lets bash lathan in any manner possible. Now I suppose occasionally lathan deserves a little tweak on the nose, who doesnt. However having talked with the dude alot I have enough respect for him to realize how he comes across on a forum does not define who he is a person. There is more to it than that, I personally was not fly with the whole lets insult lathan cause hes a new racist douche. Its not exactly 100% true, and none of the people doing it are beyond reproach themselves they just took it upon themsleves to become arbitrators of who is a good person. Needless to say, the attitude represented in that thread also meant meaningful discussion was not possible, it was either mindlessly agree wtih RANDY and the other Warc, XHC, SMUG, PRO guys, or get laughed at for being a newb. I can tell you as being part of an elitest prick setup, that those guys are being a bunch of elitest pricks.. and as long as they have a l33t gamer mentality you wont be able to discuss gaming with them in anything other than Yes master, of course master fashion. Unfortunately It didnt seem like anyone else had noticed it, so in similiar fashion to these moral defenders I took it upon myself to act radically in that thread so that something useful might come of it instead of further angry bashing.. It appears to some degree it was successful.. Now you have stopped insulting lathan, the thread has been locked (RANDY knows this should have happened much earlier) and instead you people are starting threads about how im a giant douche.. Great huzzah congrats tombom you win the internets.. Im not working on EE anymore so SEE if I care..

I'm pretty sick of the group of community members that never plays BA but feels the need to comment on BA strategy and tactics. Then when someone skilled says, "no you're wrong," they completely fly off the handle accusing people of elitism or about how "back in the day" they pwned at OTA or AA or whatever. The fact is either you know what you are talking about (and it shows when you play the game right now) or you don't. Everybody thinks they know strategy and tactics, but only skilled players know how little they used to know before they got good. These people have an inferiority complex because few people play their mods of choice compared to BA and other TA variants and the fact that many of the skilled players don't give a damn about their mods. Thus, they troll AA threads, the game lobby strategy threads, etc. PLEASE LEAVE THE BA PLAYERS ALONE AND GO WORK ON MAKING/PLAYING/PROMOTING YOUR MOD OF CHOICE. Lord knows a look at the stats page shows that's what you need to be focused on. I'm seriously considering just deleting posts from this group from BA related threads whenever they are made.

Wait DemO why did you edit all that stuff out?

Although this is pretty much it.

Fanger · Post by **Fanger** » 04 May 2007, 21:44

Guess what matt, that thread wasnt about BA strat, it was about PORCING, which can apply to ANY mod.. and thusly someones opinion on it can be valid..

I dont know what your talking about Demo.. I dont recall Having an Ego ever...

Im just tired of you people acting like everyone is so morally reprehensible, and then thinking you are beyond reproach..

DemO · Post by **DemO** » 04 May 2007, 21:51

I was making a generalisation for the whole list of forum members, not you specifically Fang.

Fanger · Post by **Fanger** » 04 May 2007, 22:00

Actually it was about a BA game, hovers vs sea in BA, then about com rushing in BA/AA, then porcing in BA/AA, but I guess you failed to even read the thread before trolling it.

Sleksa · Post by **Sleksa** » 04 May 2007, 22:43

Actually, i was suggesting that Porching is possible in every mod;
E&E, Gundam,BA,CA,AA, etc.

Then i asked if Lathan was really arguing with randy on porching, rANDY and lathan agreed to solve their problems in the most civilized manner i've seen in the forums, Then you showed up trolling the thread because it didnt suit your own tastes.

Most of the time i disagree with other people's views , but i dont troll them.
I admit i have a arrogant attitude, because i honestly think im a good player
Your attitude as the great contributor and helper in this project does not qualify you to troll out every thread you think isnt worthy of continuing Fang.

Demo, I did not troll at all last night fuck, you are as a bad as that little group of boirunner, tombom and some other guys in main last night. I logged into main and was attack by some OTHER COUNTER FLAME unit who was fighting fire with asshole and I didn't do shit. Tell me where you are justified!? What I did was killing flames with HUMOR, JOKES.. THERE WAS NO FLAME. So what the fuck did you pull my name in for? I didn't do anything wrong, I go to bed wake up and people are accusing me of shit I didn't do. I have not flamed for some time now.

You hypocrite.

in the same capacity sleksa your being a "good" player doesnt give you the right to be an arrogant douche whenever you please...

Oh fyi lordmatt get your head out of your ass the world does not revolve around BA.. maybe you ought to go read that thread before you troll this one, as the topic was clearly about PORCING not BA, a BA game was simply the catalyst for discussion and the initial example.. I see NO where in that thread an indication that the discussion was limited to BA..

He wasn't being an arrogant douche.

Smoth, I'm not sure where you got the idea I'm attacking you or that DemO was. I know that I try and be polite and not attack people needlessly and I'm sorry if you feel offended by what I was saying in the lobby. Fang and Wasp were being huge dicks to me for no real reason and I was a little annoyed.

Kneecap · Post by **Kneecap** » 04 May 2007, 23:05

I thought a game like Spring had a more mature audience. Reading this thread i see that i was mistaken.

But then again, the need for DRAMA lies deep within everybody. Especially citizens of the intranetz.

DemO · Post by **DemO** » 04 May 2007, 23:13

I wasnt even typing in #main last night.

Smoth you were as much to blame for killing that thread as Fang, at least he admits he did it on purpose and gave his reason, where you just try and make out like you did nothing to influence the lock. You killed the thread with ugly pink, pointless, off topic spam, and clearly you're happy about it:

*smoth looks around at the empty room... ok, who was it? It was MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

ME, ME, ME, OH, SOOOO ME!

smoth · Post by **smoth** » 04 May 2007, 23:16

Tombom, I was on the lobby for *I think* 3 hours last night and boirunner is still up my ass. Even though I went in stayed in and tried to defuse the situation I was attacked. Hell even decimator accused me of flaming in that how to fail at spring thread this morning, when I didn't do anything! Where AM I suppose to feel like I deserve this?

I know we rectified the situation between us but the movement you started last night still has an effect on me. So where is that right? I wake up and people are still hating on me? I did nothing wrong! I know after the fact you and I rectified it but then your dogs are still hot on my trail! So where is this over? When are they going to back off? Not likely untill they get me to explode and flame back with something serious. Which isn't going to happen anytime soon. So How long will I have to deal with this unmitigated assault on me and my character? As far as I know your actions gave others the excuse to attack me.

I came back, I have not been perfect but I severely reduced my flame level. I am trying to be helpfull even while this crap is going on. However, drama in the community takes a while to subside.

BTW.... I was right about boirunner having a problem with me.. I don't know why but yeah, last night and this moring confirmed it.

So instead of all this dodgy crap, If you(not you tomobom the other readers) dislike me, smoth, then I say any one better go ahead and get it out now, in this thread, otherwise I am going to consider you weak! I personally would rather someone say they are angry with me then just do all this passive weak prodding crap.

*edit for missing characters*

OH MY GOD Smoth MAEK JOKE? If you have ever watched scrubs you would get that one. It was pretty damn funny.

Anyway, did you happen to read the REAL post under the joke before flying off the handle? NO...

and tombom, looks like I read demo's post just fine. Thanks for all this.. really.

Oh and about the pink, if it wasn't pink text that you would try and use to some how devalue my words you would choose mrs piggy. Which is always what happens. So really strong move there.
