(Rubbing hands gleefully....)Well, hello, Elliott.
Amazing who will pick up the gaunlet, once it is thrown down...
Quite a display of big words, there, sir. First of all, the only thing that is "irking" me, initially, is watching immature people with prison guard behavior scream out the word "ownage" while hiding behind invisible force fields....and then abusing admin powers (just like prison guards do) if someone displays even the slightest bit of skill. If you can't play without the force fields, perches, radar, or indestructible planes, then shut the fuck up. If you also can't handle someone else killing you, then shut the fuck up. Immediately following that "irkage" is idiots like yourself who lack any sense of self-identity, and join up with the loser socioeconomic group displayed during my telling of "Irkage" #1. The only reason I 'joined' a clan, was to have a little easier access to the dwindling number of BF servers...so I don't have to sit there and stroll through dozens of empty BF servers on Quickmatch. I can head straight there first, and if it's empty, then I can go looking. I don't give a tinker's damn about the politics, the Top Secret Howdy Doody Decoder Ring patches, or the self-absorbed egos that follow most clans...such as Mafia. Your pointless self-absorption knows no bounds.
Satisfaction denied? Nah, I really don't give a shit, Smelliott. I can just load up another game, go ride one of my motorcycles, drive one of my cars...or take my kids to a movie. I hardly play BF nowadays...I have only shown up on the Mafia server recently, to follow a fellow clan member in. That's pretty much it. However, I don't care about the glitches, or cheats....it's the people, the attitudes. Fine, set up your super secret death perches. I could really give a shit. But don't sit there and run your mouth as if you actually have SKILL, and then try to threaten people if they happen to kill you back. Once again, following the mental disciplines of Prison Guards. Harass and attack the inmates from behind "safe" walls, where the inmates can't attack them back, your admins giggling like child molestors. It's pretty fucking sick, actually.
And you support these greaseballs?
First of all, please spare me the ass-kissing, and don't say I use lofty words. Lofty to you may not be lofty to me, and so you are admitting inferiority. Then again, I do like these forfeitures (you're the king).
Secondly, look. Your analogy of the prison guards is m'okay, but it's not really that good. A better way to describe our server is like a bicycle race. We, Mafians, have bicycles, and you non-Mafians have bicycles. Ours have motors. Yours are man-powered. At the moment. See, you can go out and buy a motor and race us on a level playing field, but you choose to enter a race you cannot win. In other words, we are not playing battlefield in an unethical way, just an unorthodox way - a different way. We are racing motorbikes, not chain-geared bikes. Do you want to race with us? If so, get a motor. Get the public hacks. Glitch into a wall. The gun goes off at the same time for us as for you, so beat us to the destination by all attainable means. Or go race the foot-pedalers. Or fuck off.
Thirdly, it's perfectly human to enjoy winning. It's human to want to win, and it's perfectly human to not regret doing so. However, I know what you're saying. Using a pistol in a boxing match might guarantee a win, but it sure seems sleazy. But you're making an assumption. You assume we care to win fairly. We don't. Does that make us sleazy? Perhaps. But our demeanor in a computer game environment you should not assume reflects our demeanor in any other realm. However, despite my request that you give us this benefit of the doubt, you don't have to. I cannot defend my clan-mates. I can defend myself. I am not sleazy. I go to a good school; I work hard; I was class president; I volunteer by teaching 3rd graders to read and do mathematics; etc. Now, one thing I do to relax is play computer games. I don't do it too often, just as you don't, but I do it enough to call it a "hobby." I go to a school which assigns a workload that ranks #10 in the nation. When I pursue a hobby, or if I am enjoying "down time," I don't want stress. I don't want to lose. So, I cheat. I ensure that I win and that I have a good time. You can crucify me or berate me for this, but I'd rather you let me peacefully go about my business.
p.s. If you think you have any rebuttal of value, you're mistaken. To follow your impulse is to waste your time...and potentially mine/ours. Do us a favor: Instead of working hard to convince us we are depraved per A) our actions or B) the insipid environment you say we create, make a simple choice. A) Play with us; or B) Play without us. S-I-M-P-L-E.
