Correct, what people say over the internet is really of no consequence. But pointless arguments are such a good way to pass the time and that is basically all strat is good for.
When you put it that way, this whole community and its forums are redundant. Much like almost everything is pointless in the grand scheme of life.
Yet we linger, often to make our voices heard, as if people would truly take to heart the things we write here.
I don't expect everyone to take my posts seriously, obviously that train passed long ago and my credibility is long reduced to what my reputation reflects. Still, there are some who care and as long as some do, I'll continue making my voice heard. Even if it's resented by some, especially those who look at my posts and think "asswipe". That, and because you wouldn't understand half the things I find amusing.
So you say I chat shit yet some would beg to differ, just like I say you chat shit yet some would beg to differ. Opinions, bro, everyone has one.
*WARNING* Serious post coming up *WARNING*
You know what Bjord - I like you
But, this is just trash talking from my side, and perhaps you dont get provoked or you do, I dont know. But the fact is that, these threads had their purposes, and believe me it was not to try and make us look superior
Trash talk IS effective, it gets on peoples nerves, it makes them angry, it makes them feel frustrated and it makes them make bad decisions. Also when on a loosing streak, which you are now, its harder to get to work and play the game right with the trashtalk ecoing inside your head. Im sure that some/most mercs have not been provoked by our trashtalk, but definately some. Has it worked to our favour? Yes, people see and read, then roster for us, offering help and so on. What we have been trying to do is to make the merc clan (which has a history of being a great clan) more "mortal" so to speak, so small clans wouldnt hesitate as much in joining the war against you.
Belive it or not, I would have had no problem, in the next strat, actually I would find it interessting, to fight alongside any of my enemies this strat. I wouldnt have a problem with it, I play strat to have fun, and to help my team to win, just like a soccer game.
Its not like all Mercs are like this and that, or all woves are like so, all greys do that or all Coalition is this way. This is bullshit of course, we are all guys from different parts of the world playing teh same game and what made us join or start different clans is mere luck or chance.
Like I said before, Im sure some mercs are good guys, just like some greys are good guys and so on.
But this strat we have a goal and you know it, if we dont succeed well then be it, we would have had fun and hopefully you would have to
Well, back to trashtalking in the next post...no more of this BS
I suppose we have different ideas of trash talk. I see it for what it is, while you see it as a means to win favour and support, a strategy to further the downfall of your enemies. Which is fine, I guess. Doesn't mean I (or we for that matter) will like it, and of course, we'll protest, since it isn't "fair play". Showmanship belongs on the battlefield, not the forums. You'd win far more favour (even from us) if you were more creative than resorting to the forums like a bitch hound, howling for some pounding.
In fact, I can see why you get along with the Greys so much. You want to win as bad as they, but unlike them you actually possess some creativity. Their ambitiousness and opportunistic demeanor coupled with an underdog's unyielding hunger for victory. You'll do anything to win, which is why we don't like you.
Then again, asking you to play by the rules is perhaps asking you to lose.
This war is probably a fine example of new school vs old school, you emply tactics that some of us feel are unfair while you see it as intelligent strategies. It's all relative.
No Bjord, you're an asswipe cause you lack manners.
Oh well, everyone matures eventually, even asswipe kids.
Oh I disagree, I possess very exquisite manners. I just don't divulge them unto rabble, no offense. Your lackluster posts just make me yawn, and often I make very half-assed posts during such yawns. I can see how such posts would make you irate, though.
