Sorry Sloth.

[MLK]

For being a jerk last night, sorry. There are certain strategies that I get steamed about. (ie. once you get adren in the tank in bedrooms, let someone else take over) Again, sorry.

MLK, you can go to the top of any of our forums pages and click "members" to see who is actually a member here. I already checked real quick for you and I did not see Sloth. By Sloth, I am assuming you mean {HOG}Sloth right? Man, I haven't seen that dude in ages. Hope all works out for the best...later bro...

Yeah, he'll never see this post.

[Mr Bean]

Maybe if you send him a PM, he'll get a flag in his email.

Or you could just stop being a douchebag in game so you wouldn't have to apologize. People don't come to this server to be bossed around and told how to play the game. If you have enough players on your team who "get it" enough to win.. great. If things aren't going exactly how you think they should be going, think twice about whether we are running a military operation or playing a video game to have some frakin' fun.

I suggested he give it up 3 times (spawns) before I got pissed. I simply was apologizing in a Public forum so that others on the team could see that I was sincere about it. I said that if he has adren, pass that shit. His reply was, "How did you know I had adren?" My reply being, "You've been in it at least 3 times. Share the wealth."

—Now—

I want to win. At the end of the game, scores come up for a reason. While this isn't life or death, it is frustrating to provide strategic insight in a calm manner only to be casually ignored. I am drawing the line where I went overboard and said disrespectful things. My grief was in the lack of teamwork strategy in his actions. If you notice, I hang back a lot. This has nothing to do with my personal playing style as I would rather be trying to cap the flag or defending the runner/middle offense. I just know that when I leave the base, our flag gets capped. There is nothing wrong with blatantly saying, "Ur doin it wrong." Criticism teaches.

So, here I am, manning up and apologizing for reacting too harshly. I already told him in game, too.

IMHO you should not say sorry to noobs. their noobs, they need to be called out if there stopping your team from winning.

As far as "pubs" go though i would not take it to seriously although winning is always a +1

I'm keeping my mouth shut... but I can't stand 'pro' attitudes.

I'm keeping my mouth shut... but I can't stand 'pro' attitudes.

And I probably should keep my mouth shut, but the simple fact is, CTC was created to be a fun environment for all player levels. I rarely, if ever, see any new players who bad mouth others and tell them how to play the game. However, new players are constantly chastened and thoroughly yelled at if they do something a "PRO" player thinks is wrong. I am not directing this at MLK, but this thread is a good reminder. If people are getting angry at their teammates, the person who is out of place is the person getting mad. I think it is cool when people offer to help explain tactics or show weapon techniques, but demanding someone do this or that shouldn't be considered alright to do.

Good players have and always will be welcome at CTC. Good players who make others feel uncomfortable for playing their own way are not welcome.

I think it is studly of MLK to apologize and I don't mean to be such an ass on this thread. I think there are many others who could check themselves in the same way and realize they are overreacting to something stupid.

May I re-iterate.. UT is a frakin' game, treat it as such. You can win.. and you can lose. It doesn't matter. That is the point. Save the serious gameplay for ladders and scrims.

On a final note, I am not telling anybody how to play the game. If you want to take it seriously, please do so. If you feel that you need to make it such that your life somehow depends on you winning or losing, hey, be my guest. Just don't expect others to treat the game the same way. Most of us are here to have fun.. not get yelled at by a bully.

"CTC was created to be a fun environment for all player levels"

Yup, and while we do have a number of good players that play to win, we also have a lot of people who just come to play for fun. Papa is a good example. Normally he dicks off and you would think "Hey that guy is a horrible horrible player. All he ever does is camp the deemer spawn and suicide our base." While that's true in a sense if he's not in 'try' mode (where he actually plays well), it's how he likes to have fun. To each his own.

Maybe we could setup more pug nights? I thought that was pretty fun as our team(s?) actually had strategies and were cooperating for the most part.

If it makes you feel any better, I will teamkill papa the next time I see him. If you want me to teamkill him a lot pick frontline next time we're all on

Oh and btw... FU Papa~!
