Don't drink and post

Post by n99 »

Well I decided to do a positive post when drunk some time, or sort of. Lately I've been acting a bit aggressively, arrogantly and annoying. I've just been under a lot of stress, and since I play a lot more clanwars now than that I used to I feel compelled to play 'serious', even on public servers.

Two days ago I was on DA main, got annoyed by one of the players, ignored him, he stole my frag and I immediatly shot him in the head. Very lame, and it says alot. Why do I CARE so much, I used to be able to play on publics, and even during clanwars, with a happy attitude even when trying my best.

So this post is both an apology for my behaviour and a reflection on the scene becoming more and more 'professional' - it shouldn't get out of hand, and I don't think it should be about WINNING with the biggest lead ever, all the fucking time. I don't mean that you should play hc slippers all of a sudden, but just reflect on your own behaviour, like I did, and see if you really enjoy the player you are today....

Just think that u are SO right, if we wanna keep this game living, we have to stop thinking of which is the best clan and so on, just play for earning respect? Im not very active atm, but when i play i really feel its fun, but i remember those cw-days, especially in the last of my active days, lets just play for what we did in the beginning, for pure fun?

Exactly, that doesn't mean u should fool around - of course you can try out your cool tactics and work on uber teamplay, but crushing smaller clans +20 on the fast maps (c2, cloud, tokyo, mesto, ap) that dominate this scene atm is just not needed and quite sad if u ask me...

true true... the game shouldn't be about winning the most... neither should we whine that much as we do. Really ruines the fun part..

Becouse if you really think about it... it's more fun to win +1 or even lose -1 tbh... then winning +20.
I love those close cws ... even if we win or lose, if we lose I'm not happy... but Im really looking forward to the rematch! :)

I was supose to write some more.. but im to tired :) gn

Haha... this is an interesting discussion indeed...

I must say that I agree partly, the game is suppose to be FUN, and on public server I don't give a damn at all... Sometimes on CWs though, even though I try not to care it's like impossible, I can play without expressing my feelings on the net, acting "calm" on the server, but at the same time go nuts in front of my comp =)

Ok so what was the point of this post... Well... hrm... arrr... well, I don't want the game to be so serious, but sometimes it just IS... :rambo:

on publics i sometimes find it frustrating, that ppl steal every frag they have a chance on. m4 to 100%. i won't cut in, if i see a teammate having an easy time with someone, i'll rather cover him and seek for others.

on cw's, i just try to do my share of the thing, and it sucks when i just can't. i don't really care if i get every frag stolen, if teamplay works :)

I actually find that comment weird... how often do you NOTICE if a teammate has an easy time with someone? a firefight is over in less then a second most likely, and during that time I have hard to believe that you can decide wether he is winning the fight or not, therefor helping or not... well... that's just my 2 cents B)

When u see that ur sniper-mate shot somebody and that guy lost small part of his stomach, u can leave that guy alive and dont steal somebodys frag. Its possible :)

Well I try, and I really mean TRY to play because it's fun, but some clans do EVERYTHING to win, so I find it very hard to play for its fun.
I can take a loss with ease, I dont care about winning or losing, but I care alot of the opponents, if they camp at our map, I will often start out with camping as a lameass at theirs.

So enjoy the friggin games and stop that "lets make every round 3 minutes on their map", and your opponents will certainly play vs you again.
And we'll all be alot happier

I dont know what you guys think but I can tell you that CARE aint obsessed to winning. If the other clan played better it's ok, we'll just have to play better next time.

And yes I like those ight games better than to whine...*next up on Ripleys*
