I'll tell you a little story.

Long time ago on EU1 server I was playing with my main (Leshma) and at that time I hated cavalry. Friendly bumps pissed me off real good.

At that time I was thinking about joining Nordmen clan and knew that many of them were really helpful and nice people.

However at that time I saw player named Bumper2 who used Nordmen banner but weren't part of the clan. She was 2H cav and was pretty damn good at melee.

I thought it was some native veteran who was new to cRPG. That's why I started to dislike that player.

Once she riding was near me, after few rounds of being bumped by teammates I was really mad. Attacked and killed her horse for no reason at all. When she asked me why I did that, I told her to fuck off.

That player was trying to be nice to me after that but I was being rude to her for some time. After that I came to conclusion that player Bumper2 was an alt of Nord_Cooties. Cooties is a really nice and helpful person so I thought that's why he never reported me for what I did.

Thing is that I was banned on my personal request by Braeden few weeks ago for the same thing. Didn't learn my lesson, obviously.

Thing is that I was wrong. Bumper2 wasn't Cooties. It is alt of Nord_Tor, a guy who I never liked very much because:

1) he's way better at this game then me
2) because of above I never thought he would consider me as someone worthy of talking to

In my own head, that player was an asshole, for a resons no one else could understand. Boy, I was very wrong.

Therefore I would to publicly apologize to Nord_Tor.

Also would like to send a message to others players:

Never rage for stupid reasons, remind yourself that this is just game when you're about to do something bad.

Don't think you're above other players just because you're doing better than the rest and because you play a lot.

Also, treat everyone equally, if he/she never did anything wrong to you. You never know who is the recieving end.

here's my advice to other crpg players to go along with yours:  play other games instead, and only use these forums to insult people (who deserve it ofc)
My posting is like a katana folded 1000 times to perfection.. and the community is what keeps the edge sharp.. and bloody.  -  Me.

Nice post Leshma. Hope you really mean it. You might find you play more consistently if you take personalities out of it and just have fun and do your best

I probably know the Nords less than you Leshma and even I know Tor is a lax guy...

Bad error of judgement!

A lot of people would do well to remember behind the collection of pixels; the online "persona", there is a real person that is probably similar to you in more way than they are different.  Deserving of respect and courtesy as much as you are.

I thought it was another essay contest and I got excited  :oops:

1) he's way better at this game then me
2) because of above I never thought he would consider me as someone worthy of talking to

The only reason anyone would ever not talk to another player is because they don't share a common language... I am glad that when I had questions as a noob, people would reply to me in the server so I didn't have to minimize the game and study game mechanics to figure out how it works. Now that I can answer those same questions, I return the favor by helping people who ask in-game.

~fostering a caring and inviting game community~

"im noob" isnt an excuse to break rules after being told multiple times what you were doing wrong. get banned trolls

irl something shorted on the shuttle and laika overheated and died within a few hours of liftoff and for a brief while one could look up to the stars and see a light shooting across the sky that was actually a warm dog corpse slingshoting about the earth at thousands of miles per hour which was arguably humanity's greatest achievement so far

TBH, I gotta say, you really made a mess out of this ingame when you found out bumper 2 was Tor (and Tor was Panos and some other nord and the real reason he was banned was multiaccounting) (BTW: Tor you lied, I never hurt your horse that day... ...I think, I just headshot you without hurting the cute little horsie), and now you write a damn essay here, lol, also, don't listen to Grumbs, this game would be a lot less fun if everyone were square shits with no personality, Grumbs dream version of cRPG would probably have an admin check whatever a player writes in chat/executes a voicecommand and disapprove it if it weren't 100% tactically relevant, heck, I can tell who quite a few players I know are on their alts due to their playstyle/personality in chat, if everyone were just smarter AI then the mod would suck, all you bitches ('cept for THIS GUY: http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php?action=profile ) make the mod less boring and fucked up, guy in the link however, fuck you, I hate your guts, eat shit and die, you bland piece of shit.

1H stab is the fastest, strongest and longest 1H animation. There's no reason NOT to use it in all instances. I don't know if it's OP, but it's boring. 1H used to be fun because you had a fast (left), long (right) and the most devastating attack (stab) and had to choose the best attack for each occasion.
