Where do even find these members, and people in our team don't really give much of a fuck about the tournament. Most of us are playing for a year together now and we are having a great time with and without the ensl.
I haven't watched any matches from this season (hooray Twitch ban) but knowing the players and the team, if SH is similar in skill to PFG was last season then it should be in div 3 ;)
So what you're saying is were not allowed to get members who are on average better than div4. So our team is not allowed to get people who were or merced in higher divisions, so in other words we can't have people in team who can help us improve and can help with our personnel skill and in teamplay wise.
This thread is also for trolling officials not about our team composition if you're not happy with that you need to make your own thread about it.
PS.
I've you looked at the scoreboard you could have seen that he was not top scoring.
I _THINK_ that his point is that you're welcome to recruit new players, but that it's kind of hilarious that you're getting players who's formerly been in or merced for div1 or premdiv teams. I mean, you guys are good players as you are, but the fact that you ask such highdiv players to join makes me wonder if you guys are doing ok with your feelings of self esteem. In that case it's very sad, and I do keep my hopes up that you all will get better self confidence in the future! Because you're worth it!
Also, it was nice seeing you on the server earlier tonight btw, although it was brief
loooooool, onehit starts pubstomping on a completely new level... This new definition of behaving like a ret0rd is completely genious, i amire his brain for this kind of ideas
So sorry Jibrill, I'll correct that immediately below! :)
*The fact that you feel that you need to accept players from highdiv teams to be able to perform well in div4 makes me worried about your feelings of self esteem as individual players!
But then again, you guys rejected East as a merc for one match in a pcw while I was trying to get my game to run properly because he was div2. So it's not really that surprising that you feel that previous div1 players are needed to battle stronk div4 teams!
How about we cut the crap already. At least half of the teams in Div 4 this season have at least 1 player in their roster who has previously played in higher divisions. BGR have fucking GeRm who's played in NSL since 2006, playing for Div 1 (prem div during precaching's time when he played for them) teams for example, nobody bitching about that. Obviously something personal going on here, don't know what to be honest. OneHit is at the moment the ONLY player on our roster who has played in higher division than Div 4 beforehand. Yes he's a really good marine and a good alien player. But today for example on pcw he certainly did NOT carry us by any means, neither on marine round or alien.
Can we all just agree to stop the blaiming, bitching and whining, play the season to end and just agree that we'll enter Div 3 next season if the line-up doesn't change radically?
I'm going to be very frank about why you're recieving alot of complaints and BGR isn't, because just as you say, BGR having GeRm is just as silly in div 4 as you guys having Zafod/OneHit. The fact is, however, that BGR isn't spending 90% of their time in this community bming. I've never personally seen you bm so this is not a comment on your behaviour, your post above is probably the first decently rational post I've seen from you guys. Examples? Bming in twitch chats about other teams/members. Doing the nazi joke/names repeatedly even when you realise that people get offended. Putting our team in an awkward situation when you refused to get a div2 player (who was currently on the server speccing) to merc for one round after you'd waited 30 minutes on me trying to fix my game and instead letting us chase down a merc you could accept. Going on rampages in the shoutbox. Declining seeding matches before the season started. Neither of those things benefit the community and all of those things give you guys a bad image outwards. And I have to point out that accepting the single most cancerous player in the NS2 community into your team, who almost solely play the game just to bm and troll people, when you already have a bad reputation for bming probably wasn't the brightest desicion if you look at it from the outside.
Bottom line/TLDR: the reason you guys are getting so much shit when BGR isn't, is because certain members of your team behaves like complete dickheads. Do not for a second think that people will show you any respect or kindness when you won't do it in return.
tbh I am on shreck's haircut/asshats/shurk's benis (guys stick to one team name pls) side in this case. They are allowed to get new members even from higher divs. Even GIEF ROBOT did this with maxamus (even if he was commanding he still has enough knowledge of laneblocking and positioning to carry).
Also OneHit fits into that team in my oppinion and he doesn't feel like a hardcarry for them. I would say he is a div3 (maybe div2) player but not nearly as good as Zafod.
I also don't think it's worth it anymore to complain about them being in div 4 anymore. They will move to div 3 next season and I think they can't even move to div 3 right now (during a season) even if they wanted to.
You brought up the point of self esteem earlier. Allow me to return that to the conversation. Wouldn't the fact that people get so upset about jokes on national topics, like nazism for instance, be a sign of bad self-esteem? People pissing in their knickers because of terrible shit that happened 70 years ago. I admit straight away of being guilty of using nazi related names ingame. I am willing to bet that none of us deep down, me included, find anything that the nazis did remotely funny. What is funny is how upset people still get after the issue is brought up. I suppose to idea is more (at least on my part) to provoke the people going ape shit crazy over the topic to maybe look in a mirror and possibly recognize their own insecurities and self-esteem issues on the topic.
You should hear our teamspeak, we call each other names, bring up every national stereotype imaginable and just generally bigot and poke fun at each other. The thing is that all of us understand the fact that what is said is not actually meant by the guys saying the stupid shit, we understand the joke. If Babbler calls me a Finnish faggot who lives in a sauna and drinks alcohol alone in the darkest corner in the bar, grunting at every poor soul trying to touch my beloved beer, I usually just send the same kind of stuff back at him and we laugh about it. Not a big deal. We have members from Austria and Germany who we usually refer to as nazis and they get the fact that it is, plain and simple, a joke.
Now, shortly on the topic of OneHit again, you call him the most cancerous player in the community, I'm willing to call bullshit on that. The truth is that when you get to know him, he's actually a really nice guy. Same goes for daddy who many people also dislike.
I cannot comment on the shit that's being said on Twitch chat, shoutbox or refusing mercs from higher divisions since I have not been there. From what I know, a seeding match was played against TAWsome, which ended in a 2-2. I recognize also that some of our guys might not be the most intelligent at discussing these things when they are actually brought on the table (looking at you Babbler the BritFag Ginger II), throwing more gasoline on the fire instead of actually trying to bring up the idea conveyed behind all the trolling.
It's sort of the problem though, I get that for you it's all shits and giggles, and it's great that you guys have a jargon that you all enjoy and contribute to within your team, that's great and that's how NS2 should be played -> to have fun!
But you also have to accept that some people find that shit offensive, regardless if it happened in the past. I'm not here to argue what people should and shouldn't get offended by, the fact still remains that some people get offended and it's disrespectful to disregard that. Keep it to yourself or to other people you know will appreciate it and it'll be a winwin!
I have no opinions on how OneHit is as a private person, sadly he's never given off the impression of a man I want to become friends with when I've had the pleasure of encountering him in pubs. I base my opinion on the behaviour I myself can witness, and by those standards I stick with my previous statement. But I will not disagree with you on how he is when he's not trolling!
We've had this discussion in private, and I do still think that the above statement is hilarious. Max played in gB. A team that won div3 last season with Max commanding. gB was seeded into div1 but never got to play because they disbanded. Most gB members went on to a div 2 team that has not excelled or stomped. Max joined us as a _field player_, with the understanding that he had barely no time to practise, due to focusing time on his daughter, which is why in the majority of officials and pcws, we play without Max because he's busy. Surely enough, Max brings loads of wisdom in terms of laneblocking and field strategies, but how is that different from any comp player who's played long enough or payed enough attention to strategies? And yes, the fact is that Max can sometimes carry us as a marine k/d-wise, but he balances that out nicely by always ramboing with his lerk more often than not :D (sorry max, much love? lessthanthree) So to compare a previous div 3 commander playing on the field with recruiting previous div1 members playing their primary role is hilarious, and I stand by that fact :D
^All this... don't know if trolling or just pure lack of brain.
I especially enjoyed the historical-critical part... makes me doubt your supposed age of 25 years
“It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.”
I left out out the part with onehit and his pubstomperfriend this time, because it's not quite as funny as THIS. I'll refrain from just coining you as a retard in my head, instead i'll leave a serious post in a forum for once in my life.
I'm gonna ignore that your profile page says you're 25 years old, because you wouldn't make a statement like that - at this age - and actually mean it. Sounds more like some 12 year old that read a wikipedia article about nazi-germany, stopped halfway through and said to themself TL;DR
Dude, you can't make a connection like that between self esteem and the history of a nation/ national topics/ national pride. EVERYONE will think you are a faggot if you say things like what you described above. No matter if russian, german, polish or fucking swiss.
You can take me as an example. I'm german and I'm not proud of it, cause i just don't like my country and some of its' inhabitants in general (do i even need to explain this?). So yea, I still laughed my ass off at how retarded your comment sounded. I was still able to undestand koro or the people she was talking about becoming upset. People becoming upset by you MAKING FUN of a topic like fucking nazis and whatever else is not a sign of bad self esteem, it's a sign of a healthy and EDUCATED mind, that knows about the terrors caused by the nazi regime.
Even if "deep down" you don't find anything related to nazis funny, you can't make jokes about it like that. If people are ok with it cause you know them, yea, why not. But if you do it in front of people that you don't know at all, you can't wonder why they get offended by it. Some people might have personal experiences with nazis (modern nazis) or maybe have a certain history within their own family. Nobody knows.
But one thing is sure: if anyone EVER feels offended by topics like these, you can't just stomp them down as faggots with "bad self esteem" and continue. I don't think that koro or whoever she was referring to is like that. You should maybe try to show a bit of empathy, cause this really is a hot topic. Otherwise people will call you stupid just as I did (sorry for doing so, as long as you get the message of this). And people will never let go of the image of kiddie trolls that your clan has if you all don't stop behaving like that.
First serious post ever, hope i didn't fall for the troll trap
So you, being 18, think that you know more and are more educated than I am at 25 years of age? Of course I don't know much about life itself and I'm willing to admit it, being young and all. Using petty, childish insults when having a serious conversation about a topic is not a really effective way to take part in discussion. Calling somebody 12 when they give you an opinion and actually give their reasoning behind it is childish in itself, just as your first post was calling me either a troll or brainless.
From what I understand you get angry over a Nazi joke too. Healthy and educated mind sure helps with self-esteem but it doesn't just define it. Getting upset is just fine, but have the people who get pissed off over a joke every stop to think WHY they get pissed off? Have you? Maybe grow up a bit yourself and start doing some critical thinking. The jokes I have been making have been pretty fucking obviously JOKES. Not implying that I would be a fucking neo-nazi. And as I stated before, it's more about making fun of peoples reactions and try to get them to think why they react the way they do.
I've personally met neo-nazis, a couple of them, and don't want anything to do with their kind. They disgust me to the core. But that does NOT mean they or the original Nazis shouldn't be made fun of. As South Park once put it, either you can joke about anything, or nothing at all. Who draws the line on what's appropriate to make fun of and what is not? You? Based on what? Your own values and beliefs? I bet you've made fun of something in your lifetime that would insult values of someone else.
When have I called anyone on this thread a faggot? Apart from myself and Babbler who knows it's a god damn joke. Please don't answer anymore if you cannot discuss the topic in a respectful and civilized manner.
So your opinion is that people shouldn't be offended by things that offend them? lol
This is an obvious case of tldr from your side, you don't get the message of my post, you just scanned for the insults and turned them against me by taking them out of context.
I'll leave this now without losing the last drop of honor that remains after taking part in this.
One last hint for you... empathy
