Chill with the elitism please

[Storm]

"Chill with the elitism"? "Please"?

That can only come from a noob. 

[Kung Fu Jesus]

Rhade likes to fancy himself a person who automatically deserves and expects respect because he's good at a Turkish video game. The guy has never said one positive comment in-game about anyone or anything since he started.

[Rhade]

Rhade will you play strategus?
pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease?

I'm planning on it but I'm finding grinding up to 31 again to be a bit of a task, I find myself not logging in much.

Am I allowed to call successful troll on myself?

Rhade, CHILL.  If you get this riled up you may need to re-prioritize your life.

It's amusing how serious you sound until I show you how wrong you are, then all of a sudden it's "I was just trollin', brah," it happens every time.

I am chill, I'm actually rather happy today and am not upset at all. I just felt strong language was needed to convey just exactly how stupid I felt your line of reasoning was, especially because I hear it so much.

The only real way you or any of the other faceless masses who talk shit towards me seem to follow this step:

A) Try to make an attempt at creating a logical argument and have it be destroyed
B) Once it's destroyed, claim "I was just trolling"
C) ???
D) Profit


At risk of derailing and racking up even more - points (my trophies for telling it how it is and people don't like it), I'm going to go be like Charlie Sheen and win at life. Haters gon' hate.

I said nothing about respect, but thanks for giving it to me by saying I'm good. Hey, you said it, not me.

I say positive comments all the time, but I'm also not afraid to say negative ones.

Most of the time people just rage on me and BkS because, frankly, no one likes to lose and we don't care to sugar coat it for them.

dry your eyes teddy bear.. its not impossible to improve your reflexes.

Well, that just like your opinion man.

But ya, guess I've just seen him when he is whining about range (despite not packing a shield) or crushthrough killing him.

Dosen't mean much coming from me, to quote myself: "I bitch and spam, its what I do".  I just tend to take the game for what it is, an outlet for my bottled rage, I never take myself seriously.  I'm a humble narcissist.

EDIT: In response to Rhade's post.  Its a game, some people just don't put as much stock in games or improving game skill.  I personally try to improve, but that's because I put way to much stock in games.  But seriously if you get pissed off at people not giving a f*ck and having their own style of PLAY (as in game, as in not an important part of life) then you may have some deeper issues that you should seriously look at.

Read this again Rhade, I can highlight or bold the sarcasm in my response if you'd like.

Some people just never get over themselves I guess.  I'm over myself and I have a better outlook on life for it.

EDIT: You talk a lot about yourself and your comment about "faceless masses" just drove it home.  Your problem is that you're not over yourself yet.  Once you grow up and figure out that life is more about the "faceless masses" and less about you, your life will be so much better.

Rhade, CHILL.  If you get this riled up you may need to re-prioritize your life.

Actually, happy people do what they want 

EDIT :

\derailment

Have you tried real time tactics games?  As in, games with little to no resource management?  I find them far more appealing than RTS and often far easier.

/derailment

I'm way better at Total War games than classic RTS, because the gameplay is not full of this "yeah man you have to click 800 times a second to make more ressources and more men to finally crush your opponent because you have a better army" BS. That's why I dislike Starcraft games : just take a good BO and do it fast, win.

When you get rid of the ressource management, you get real strategy. A few real time games allow active breaks (limited in time). And of course if you want to do strategy at it's finest, real time is certainly not what you want. Chess, Go games, turn based video games such as Civ or japanese tactical RPGs...

Now we're talking about different issues.

You should expect someone to be willing to get better, and trying their best. Just like you're talented at Math, it would most likely frustrate you to see people who aren't as good as you not trying to improve, but instead taking the easy way out at every opportunity. I don't get ragey when people are bad, I get ragey when people play scared and don't ever risk anything to attempt to become better, they always try to take the most safe, boring way out and in the result never become any better because they aren't taking any risks/learning/growing as a player. Same thing can be said for anyone who's talented at something and gets frustrated when they see others attempting to get to the same level they're at by taking the easy way and defending their shortcomings with excuses like "ping, computers, you play all day etc etc" instead of putting the blame on themselves for not challenging themselves and taking the risks/chances necessary to actually improve. I don't hold any hate for any "bad" player who honestly tries to improve and has the balls to actually try instead of just taking the easy way out at all points, in fact I try to help them as much as I can.

When someone is top tier at something, it shouldn't be said "WELL IF I SPENT AS MUCH TIME AS YOU ID BE GOOD TOO", that's just pathetic attempts to bring those above you down to make up for your shortcomings.

Edit:

Tyrian and Harmless are not "Would be" duelists, they are duelists and extremely top tier ones at that. You can bitch about "feinting" but neither of them really feint that much, when, in reality they both just have extremely good timing and control. Haters never stop hating.

Very well stated, Rhade.

Also, whoever said Tyrian is an elitist is mistaken. He's on of the BkS that I don't see being abrasive all the time. And I like him :3

[kongxinga]

 I think the OP is serious about the game. OP is serious about having fun, which to him is going to siege and swinging a GL bardiche at people. "Elite" players telling him to get some "skill" as arbitrarily defined by them to be limited to parrying, which he has tried to do, is detracting from the OP's enjoyment. OP is serious about the game, as he is serious about maximizing his fun utiliy, not his # of manual and chamber blocks, which others might find fun.

Basically one man's meat is another's poison, and the people telling others to stop having fun need to find something more productive to do in game, such as organizing a flanking assault etc.

Oh and give me a call when someone manages to fight with 200++ ping. I hear a lot of bravado, but no one actually pulls it off on a long term basis. No one willingly goes to a high ping server since sub 30 pings make blocking so much easier.

+1 respect for Tyrian

[Keltesh]

Actually, happy people do what they want 

True, but happy people don't spew venom and insults at the suggestion that they need to chill.

Like I said earlier, guess I've just seen a different side of him, but he is much mellower then the other BS (opps I meant Bks) guys.  I don't really have anything against him, he just came to mind first.

[Kafein]

True, but happy people don't spew venom and insults at the suggestion that they need to chill.

That's not the same thing. You were saying someone shouldn't make videogames a priority in life. Chilling out or not has nothing to do with that.

[EyeBeat]

Yeah!

Those meanie heads who take your lunch money are mean kids!

Shame on them for picking on you.

True beauty is on the inside.

We're all winners.

Speaking of elitists...  Who killed your ass 5 times to your one the last time we fought?

You must have a metal plate in that bald head of yours because my magnetic warhammer keeps connecting to it.

"your a shielder so you are bad" you say...

Yet you always die against me . 

They should rename the "lolstab" to Rhadestab.

BECAUSE THAT IS ALL HE EVER USES.  YET HE ALWAYS LOSES. 

Love that rhyme? 

[Keltesh]

That's not the same thing. You were saying someone shouldn't make videogames a priority in life. Chilling out or not has nothing to do with that.

No, I said if he gets this angry, he needs to re-prioritize.  Video games are a priority in my life, in fact I'm making a career out of them, I just don't blow up over them, they are games after all.

I disagree, I specifically quoted the example that someone can be incredible at this game in just two weeks and thus blah blah blah everyone and all peeps can be uber too. While I agree that people should seek to improve, I disagree with him trying to use the example of a mere two weeks, as most people require more time and such anomalies should never be used as an example in the manner that he used it.

I agree with what you said besides the first sentence.
