i unno where everyone is im sure out winning some games so we can take the Win on our first outing in the MVL


and perhaps you should make me a Senator lol, i did post a 78K game...finally LOL

all right guys, I got Round 5's info set up over at the Core, check it.

HUH what? You're going to need more than Motti

I drank it last night. Please send more.

yes, my fellow Villainy members....but do not brag or be boastful...no, we will let the others ruminate and scheme and plan their ways into achieving victory next round...and we will take it from them, coming out from the shadows and crushing their dreams of defeating us.

No team E won.

So you want to brag about how your 5 members had us beat. Us 4 members. So what. Once the playing field was leveled it was a different story now wasn't it?

And just after running the numbers you are wrong anyway...leaving Iztok out we have these averages,

Eternal Villainy
Score = 10,256
Game speed = 3.5
Submition time = 3

Crusaders
Score = 8805
Game Speed = 2.4
Submition time = 15.4

So thats 2 out of 3 category's that the Villainy beat the crusaders. And one of those victory's would have been good for two bp's. Your victory was worth one.

Both teams have 2 individual BP's for a final tally inc base 8 of,

Villainy = 12
Crusaders = 12

So that is not a win. Even the playing field 5 V 5 and we win. No excuses.

FB, this an unfortunate comment you have made. Being a sore loser is not in the spirit of the league. Did we come into your thread and brag about our win. No.

I understand there may be some immature enthusiasm at work here but this attitude of yours is in poor taste and in no way in the spirit of the league.

I do hope this is the last time we see this kind of behaviour from you, cause to be completely honest, i am not sure how much longer i can bite my tounge and remain civil over such comments.

So FYI, Team E DID in fact, beat you FB. And in your scenario Team C DID NOT, in fact beat us.

Correct.

I don't think FB's intent was all that ill intended. Seems like a rather normal league type taunt. I think you did take it a little harder than intended.

That can be the problem with this evil persona stuff. It's fine until people begin to take things a little too personal.

I think Kryo said it best quite some time ago when he said that some people need to grow a little thicker skin and that other people need to stop poking folks with sharpened sticks. I see evidence of both effects going on here.

It's fine to win but coming in a close 2nd at the last moment is exciting as well. I do think that round 5 was one of the most balanced rounds so far and I see people all over the league improving their game each round. That is the true victory. So if someone wishes to be slightly childish and go Na na na na nah, it's actually more funny than it is insulting.

Yes. Text only communication is easy to misunderstand.


Now here is a real *taunt*. Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.   

I certainly overreacted for sure.



But this time after reading the post again with fresh eyes, i still believe that the post was made out of sour grapes and that there was indeed a sense of resentment in the intent.

My reaction may seem out of place based on this one comment but this is not the first such instance of this happening with FB, and that is what i had on my mind when replying. It's not so much the comment, but the person making it. Had this been the first such instance of this behaviour i do think i would have just let it go.



This is true, may FB reply and make himself understood then all will be well.



Like i said the first time it happens, you are dead right, it's funny. But when it keeps happening it can become quite annoying.

As soon as i re-read my reply, i realized that the high road was there for the taking, but such is life.

The A team coulda won it had it not been for those pesky kids on team E, and their meddling dog too.   

Hi!

Correct! Sometimes when I've been really annoyed with some post on a forum, if I immediately started relpying, my reply was usually way too harsh. Now I wait for at least a half a day before replying to such a message. Helps me to cool down, exactly define what I find wrong with the message, find proper words to point on his error, and send the other guy go sc..w himself in a civilized manner. My revenge is best served cold. But the neded patience comes only with lots of experience.

BR, Iztok

I too was very guilty of that exact thing Iztok. It did take me some time to work out the best way to reply in those times. I'd like to think i have achieved that patience somewhat, but we all have those days when we fail.

Like i said, i think both FB and myself can learn a lesson here and move on.

as it should be

Motti, for your continued praise and unquestionable servitude, I promise that I will allow you to live in my new world order.
