we horse around with eachother alot.... thats why I squatted in his game for like 20 mins... blah...
its not really a grudge... I was just pretty pissed off... ted, I thought you'd understand that...
why you go foul mouth me, TRY to ruin a reputation I was ever so barely starting to get on a community, and almost backstad a good friend of yours?? aand we just got started here? really makes me question... 
I've played this game since it was released... I've seen every kind of player, I've played every kind of game, I've beaten every single player level... and there is one tatic that has never changed... and has always won battes every time... flash rushing... I remember when CC was released and every arm player got their panties in a wad because their flashes couldn't win a battle against kroggoths if it ever got that far... they hated the immolator when it came out... they hated everything Cavedog did to balance that problem... but there was enough of them that the problem never really got fixed... consequently... I've got a real SORE side for flash tanks.... I've built up an ego that all arm players are lamers, all flash tank users are a bunch af idiots who can't strategize a game, and at any point I can avoid using arm, hell... more than any point... almost everytime, I refuse to use arm.... try watching me play, 99% of the time, I play core. and its not because they are better, or that I like them more... I just hate the flash tank so much...
I was using arm on the map in question with the voting thread that time because 5 out of 5 times I've played core against ted on this map, I was dead. reason. flash tanks.
why I hate them so? because everytime I try something different, every time. It never works. I've tried running to the hills... no resources, I've tried jamming and hiding things in the corners... no good, d-gunning.. LLT's missletowers... counter-rushes... LOTS of instigators... missletrucks.. combinations of them all.. dragons teeth, gaat guns, artillery... you name it... rushing for sumo's can's all kinda of kbot stuff... thuds etc. they all fail.
so I went against myself, played as arm, and tried a "different" tactic.... didn't work...
then I tried the tatic I hate, it was working, I was gonna win, and rather than let me win, FINALLY have my win, ted walked in with his commander and blew it up... I saw it coming after I ran my army out... I spent maybe 15 seconds trying to salvage most of my army before it was d-gunned to hell... then I walked my commander to defend against his army.. TRYING NOT to be a lamer and use the commander as an attacking wepon... then I saw the lone dot on the radar come out... if I walked out to stop him... I could have... but he was far enough from his tanks that the blast wouldn't hurt them, and it wouldn't hurt my base too hard, yet it would hit it...
the thing was, if I attacked his commie with mine... they'd pop... but then his army... would desecrate my base and leave nothing of it...
I had the same thought of using my commander in the same way for QUITE A WHILE on that map... but I was going to beat him straight up... no funny buisness... and the fact he did it to me... after he spent the time whining about me doing it...
it pissed me off.... I'm sorry.
and Min3mat... you got on my bad side the day Ted and I played you allied on King if the Hill with whoever you were with....
I played you politely, discreetly, and directly, and wished you the best of luck...
you wished me luck back, and bragged how you were the 3rd best in the community... I was soon thereafter impressed that you saw me as a worthy opponent.
when the game began, I saw the damn flash tank crap coming... you played just like every person plays I hated. I could go over how you played for hours and run out every detail.... lemmie just say, that there were uncountable instances that you could have killed me 4 times as fast with a few small clicks here and there.... but it was a fun game... I can still and did say I enjoyed it... it was yet again, a learning expierence...
but what really set me off on you?
after the game, I congradulated you, said good game, etc., you had stopped me and ted on our killing spree... we had won like 7 games running 2 vs 2 on all kinds of maps.... and the flash tank thing.... that was the first time ted was beat by it I think.... you started talking a lil trash before the game was done (I don't really blame you then, its always fun to rub it in when someone has built an ego winning)... and ted just left... he didn't wanna hear it...
But then after the battle, I came back to the battleroom... to try to get another game going, maybe a different type of game, water? or air?, or something, you were better than us with a flash rush... maybe something not so flat and open... metal even...
but when I started to talk, you then proceeded to insult me, degrade me, boast how you are so good, and I was soo bad, and when I asked for a different map? you laughed at me and refused, insulting me the whole way. (I didn't give you any crap then either.. I just took it...) but you only wanted to play flash tank maps... and I labled alot of those maps on a different post... when I asked why? you gave me an ignorant "I don't like those maps" ok.. thats fine... but if you are #3 in the community... you should be pretty damn good everywhere?? and I found that childish to only play on like 5 maps.. out of 50..... so I brought that up... more insults.... you ran your mouth on how GOOD you were, and how you should use things like peewees on an "uber n00b" like me
... that was about where I lost it... it just wasn't sophisticated, and for a community to put you at #3? a trash talking flash tank queen? oh... it was more than I could take... I put you at the bottom of my "I want to know or play against list".... I made a FEW degrading comments and left.... and speaking of squatters? I believe you squatted in my game a few times... not for very long no... but to make a few crude and smide remarks? yes.
you made a bad impression with me, and every post you've made has gotten on my bad side... literally. I'm sorry if the community sees me as attacking you, I was. and in return I made a bad impression of myself on the community... I'm sorry for making an ass out of myself pubically when I should have kept it private...
I didn't attack the community, I never have, I've tried to keep myself within a respectable manner in all of my posts, allbeit.. excluding you, and in one instance, ted. (the vote thingie)
there are many times though that I did remark to your comments in a constructive way.
and the USA bla bla bla horsecrap in the off topic... it was off topic, it was a holiday, I was up late, I was drunk, I wasn't trying to start a fight.... let that one die... I'm sorry.
