I'm more of a Passive-Aggressive Racist

I'm more of a Passive-Aggressive Racist

Eh. Those words can only mean so much coming from people who won't ever win a 1v1 against a genuinely competent opponent and instead pride themselves on their nonexistent "RP skills" (which are nigh-impossible to verify, of course!), their skill in absurdly-designed "clan politics" systems, or their "presence" on the forums.

No matter how stupidly you act, ultimately I can't take your insults more seriously than I would had they come from an alcoholic tramp on the street after they encountered the disappointment of my not falling for their scam.

Cheers.

You are all racist extremists.

Discount Trolls

where's the love for chriscmu? i only have one person i really want to trash: kur.

I hate defending Kellen as he was way out of line but I have to admit, Knyte, your attitude is only furthering his point. A person's 1v1 skills is irrelevant in this context and isn't a measure of someone's value. How well you can beat someone at Warlight is one-hundred percent worthless outside of this website.

You're coming off as an arrogant elitist and it doesn't help disprove Kellen's trash talk.

It's not that they're incompetent. It's that their presence on this site consists of hanging around on forums and trolling/being generally unlikeable when the site exists to host/maintain a game they're not even close to being good at.

It's like the Internet version of going out to play street b-ball but sucking at it and talking politics and trash instead. The fact that you suck at the game and can't seem to get any better isn't even the most pathetic part.

Alright, here's the thing. Warlight is Warlight. Therefore, Warlight cannot equal not Warlight. Warlight's forums is Warlight, therefore, one's skill on Warlight does, by extension, have an impact on a person's social value on Warlight forums.

Warlight's best 1v1 players are also, by extension, the ones that do the most for the game itself, generally speaking. You might not see them as much because they're sick of the forums and do most of their service in private channels, but people like sze, Gnuff, Gui, and other slightly less strong (but no less powerful, socially) players like ChrisCMU, maybe myself, and others, have contributed to the community far more than the average troll who only shows up on Warlight to argue on the forums. Please forgive us if we tend to look down on such trolls, but can you really blame us? You build your own reputation here. It's your actions, and how you choose to spend your time, that shape the way people think of you.

Eklipse, do what I do. Don't care. Life is so much better when you don't care about certain things/people.

I'm offended by that.

I troll, yet I've played tons of games.
I've spent more time playing than trolling.

Your egualling trolls with people who are only on warlight forums and not games

I troll, yet I've played tons of games.

You have played tons, yes, but I speak of skill, not quantity.... you need to work on your ladder stats. By all means, do be offended. :)

1v1: 195 / 449 (43%)

There's a difference between playing a lot of games and actually playing WL in the sense that you start improving and learning from better players who help you catch your rookie mistakes. Just saying that because about 3 months ago I thought I knew how to play WL and my low win rate was a "mistake" but it turned out that I just wasn't actually playing the game itself, at least not the way it should be played.

Edit: Not to imply I'm a good player now. A look at my ladder stats would make it obvious that I'm nowhere near that status. But I'm climbing and maybe one day I'll get a little bit closer.

i think of myself as a pretty lousy strategy player, but i am a connoisseur, and i have fun playing and really slowly learning. having no skill + forum posting =/= troll, but if someone has very little link to the actual game, then why are they here?

I'll drink all the coffee I want. Damn stuff is delicious.
*sips coffee*

I know I'm not the best at warlight, but i like to think I'm at least decent at the game itself. Ignoring my boot rate, my 1v1 /2v2 /3v3 stats aren't completely trash. If you take into account that at least 1/3 of my 1v1's have been against higher tier players on WGL and the Ladders, it scales up pretty well. In fact, if i took out my booted games my stats would look better in general.

Hey knyte, i bet you such at playing axis and allies. Therefore, i get to call you a lowlife uneducated twit on the A&A forums. I bet you don't know the first thing about playing L5R (or even what the acronym means). I guess you have less strategic skill than a blind squirrel.

Point being, you can have fun on WL, but there's other games where you can't pull the same shit. (Not that i do the things i said in second paragraph. They really are hard to learn as far as games go).

Expansion!

ChrisCMU - Not sure if college bro or married with kids.

Mercer - I'm sure there is a Fizzer is Mercer conspiracy.

Fizzer - (i don't want to get banned).

Tyrion L. - Gets banned 4 months ago, thinks he's relevant.

Dr. Stupid - Expensive Kasparov. Comes with hacksaw!

Kur - Overpriced coffee.

Talking Fan - Used to be a talking taco. There are scientific breakthroughs to be made from this.

MMB - Is he the owner of talking fan? *shrug* Is he relevant? *shrug* Oh well, he can stay.

Shyb - Discount Stern McCrays.

Stern McCrays - He isn't relevant. Har Har Har.

Duke of the Rainbow - *same as Steen McCrays, same as shyb*

The difference is that I don't go on the A&A site to trash other players on the forums. If I went to the A&A site, it would be to actually play the game and get good at it instead of making absurd political rants on the forums, making suggestions that would break the game, or relentlessly attacking players on a personal level.

Also, I've never played a game without eventually getting good at it competitively (unless you don't count the 272-9 record I had in Uber-tier Pokemon games (back when I played), without which I'm left with 4-6 results in UU tier and 3-2 in OU tier, nothing special)... so that A&A scenario would never happen. :D

You missed the point entirely. Just because your not#Elite doesn't mean you can be trashed by other players.

And you would be trashed because at some point you would suck bad.

You wouldn't have to go on forums even, your teammates would remind you how crappy you are (A&A is a 3p v 2p game).

You seem to be under the ideal that even though you're good or bad at a game, you have any more or less pull on the forums. Having more skill usually just offers better recognition as far as WL fora goes, and on a community-based site, recognition is not everything.

And as far as card games, 50 - 39 L5R stats are better than 10,000 - (-5)any-other-card-game. L5R is often considered the chess of card games, for a good reason. It's complex and strategic af.
