Failure of an ambush

Slow ambush resulted into catching only one poor pirate. Oh well.

  14. Rurh · 18 May 2004
    Sucking up your a fag?

    What is he doing, inhaling a gay person? Or, more specifically, HIS gay person?

    Yes, Feroz, we don't reccomend inhaling people. Respiratory systems are designed for transferring oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from your blood. People are incompatible with this function.
  15. johnny_420 · 18 May 2004
    haha sucking up i cant help those fucking ignorant sons of bitches throw me out of there clan after i was half way in it when they claim im renshai after what 2 strait months of zoning with them i got something to say lick my ballz bsp ya fucking jewish fags
  16. yair · 18 May 2004
    I dont recall Feroz was ever in BSP. He might have grouped with us several times, and each time he got recalled by Mavlad, which was a second before we bashed him for being annoying as hell.
  17. Hravitz · 18 May 2004
    Rurh, you're right. Instead of saying
    "Stop sucking up you're a fag"
    he should have said
    "Stop sucking up, you're a fag"

    Watch yourself people, god forbid if Rurh sees a dangling modifier or you end a sentence in a preposition. All fear the Grammar King.
  18. haley · 18 May 2004
    Correction. Rurh simply excercises his freedm of speech, to tell people who use no relivance in their posts to provide a logical explination that has at least the slightest traits of validity.

    Please refer to the examples below:
    Un-exceptable - "You're a fag, because I said."
    Exceptable - "You're a fag. You sucked my dick."

    Flame at will, but make sense doing it. GO RURH! :p
  19. Hravitz · 18 May 2004
    Haley's post:
    Total words: 62
    Total words misspelled + grammatical errors: 6 + 7

    Best quote: "Flame at will, but make sense doing it. "

    Please tell me that English is not your native language, or at least that you see the irony in defending Rurh's grammar rantings considering that you have the most unintelligible post here...

    Also, 1k to whoever can tell me what "Rurh simply excercises his freedm of speech, to tell people who use no relivance in their posts to provide a logical explination that has at least the slightest traits of validity. " actually means.

    You mean Rurh, like the person he criticizes utilizes freedom of speech? ok. And obviously calling someone a douchebag does not mean you have to prove they are a physical douchebag. For instance, Haley, you are a douchebag. Do not post again.
  20. psychoDAD · 18 May 2004
    exercises his freedom of speech? what the fuck does that have to do with anything that was just previously said? Oh right. it doesn't.

    Rurh was exercizing his right to post mindless drivel.

    On another note.. remember that freedom of speech doesn't extend to everyone here.. not everyone here is American. and im not sure what their other countries support, but do not assume their government laws are in anyway the same.

    Lecture time is over kiddies.
  21. ddog · 19 May 2004
    hahaha im laughing even more, johnny did you turn 15 yet
  22. Rurh · 19 May 2004
    Sorry, Hravitz, guess I don't know where your intelligence got lost. Look more carefully.

    He corrected his spelling. I didn't bother to change mine to reflect it. But you'd rather not be wrong, so go ahead and ignore the truth.

    And yes, PsychoDAD that particular post was mindless. One of the 1% of mine that are. Glad you enjoyed it.
    But I couldn't resist making fun of Bloke and is 'your a fag' statement.

    You give a long grey robe to Feroz.
    Feroz tells you 'whats this?'
    You tell Feroz '+1dam autoinvis'
    Feroz tells you 'SWEET'
    Feroz tells you 'thank you so much'

    <derek> one of these days
    <derek> im gonna be one of the best mudders
    <derek> and im gonna say
    <derek> fuck u jason

    It's too bad Feroz was not accepted into BSP. We were hoping he could teach us how to do Master of Maces when he betrayed you.

    Your day is inevitably coming Haley - keep putting 110% in, champ.
  25. Hravitz · 19 May 2004
    Ruhr, I don't think my "intelligence got lost". You see, the point is that you are an idiot for going on a board and attacking someone's spelling/grammar. He left out a comma, and you thought that left you the perfect opening to showcase your wit to the entire arctic community.

    In reality you're a hypocrit and a tool. You're a hypocrit because you spelled recommend wrong, and you're a tool because as long as the post is relatively understandable (which Bloke's still is after leaving the comma out), who cares at all about spelling/grammar?

    PS. Despite the fact that you think you're intelligent because you got a 600V on your SATs, you're not.

  28. Hravitz · 19 May 2004
    Normally I wouldn't post nearly so much, but I kind of feel like procrastinating for finals by using Ruhr as the verbal punching bag that he was born to be.

    Ruhr, you are missing the point. Whether I used my powers of telepathy to understand that you meant an alternate spelling of you're with a one letter and apostrophe difference or thought you meant a comma, its irrelevant. What's relevant is that you are the kind of person who likes to bring attention to yourself by whining about small insignificant things rather than going out and doing something that could bring you positive attention. Boiled down I'm calling you a whiner.

    And for a douchebag like yourself to patronize anyone, including myself, is terribly ironic. You wouldn't post things like that or have you homepage set to thesaurus.com if you didn't want to come off as intelligent.
  29. Rurh · 19 May 2004
    You certainly are panning out to be the stupid person you were born to be.

    1) I don't want attention, but you people keep talking to me.
    2) 'Insignificant' is an extremely subjective term. Use it more cautiously. I don't consider Arctic's health as a whole, insignificant. Most people seem bend on ruining it.
    And obviously: Making suggestions and ideas to try to improve the condition of the mud != Trying to do something positive.

    Boiled down, I really don't give a rat's ass what you call me. Facts are facts. Arctic is losing players (one only has to look at the statistics) and anyone who tries to help is shot down because the old guys are too stuck in their ways to Adapt. Adapt or die.

    I don't patronize anyone... Bloke and Corey are my favorite targets.

    My homepage = about::blank
  30. Matthew · 19 May 2004
    I dunno about you guys but im not 'bend' on ruining arctic..., Rurh seems 'bend' on ruining himself though.
    The path of self destruction is so selfish.
  31. Quinthanalas · 19 May 2004
    too stuck in their ways to Adapt. Adapt or die.
    Rurh is a moron, there is no need capitalize A in 'ways to Adapt.' you must suck. Seriously, why are you people arguing over grammatical errors? If that's the worst thing you have to fight about, it's not even worth it.
  32. Bloke · 19 May 2004
    heh, corey and i are targets of a homosexual.. I feel dirty
  33. eddiex · 19 May 2004
    Solution to bitching about Rurh's dumbass comments:

    A) When you see Author and rurh below it, proceed to the next comment, it's probably something that will just piss you off.

    B) If Rurh makes a dumbass reply to your comment, skip it, there is no use arguing or discussing with this guy, who is so noble that he will save the mud from the destruction it is apparently coming to. Again, his comment will probably just piss you off.

    C) Same rules apply for comments by haley.

    D) If step b does not make sense to you, refer to step a. The basic point around this comment is, just skip his damned post and stop feeding his hunger to post more dumbass shit.

    E) there is no need to reply to this comment expecting a reply back from me, you will not get one.
  34. Hravitz · 19 May 2004
    Rurh, if you didn't want attention, you wouldn't keep posting opinions you knew were controversial. Instead, you would take strong actions to change the course of the mud by integrating well into the playerbase and perhaps starting a clan for newbies to protect themselves, or some other idea.

    You, however, prefer to whine on the board and then try to martyr yourself by dying to people like Corey or Bloke. Get off the cross for god's sake.

    As for intelligence, you're the one stupid enough to think that you can get more done with words than with actions. I myself have fought larger/stronger clans, and gone after people that random newbies. But I never tried to bitch about it on the board.

    As for the mud losing players, yes, that's true. But I could just as easily claim its because people aren't listening to me, or because you once experimented sexually with a sheep, or some other bogus cause, it doesn't make it true. Learn to differentiate causation from correlation. Maybe its because games like EverQuest, etc are taking the newer generation of potential players? Maybe its because some people are growing out of mud? Maybe its because some people don't like the two-clan domination that's currently occurring.

    And in case you were wondering, you aren't smarter than me. Get off your community college pulpit and go do something worthwhile instead of bitching about it.

    Hravitz "As for intelligence, you're the one stupid enough to think that you can get more done with words than with actions."



    Last I checked wasn't this a text-based game?
  39. haley · 19 May 2004
    Regardless if what Rurh says is right or wrong the problem comes from responses to his posts. If you don't want him to post or argue with you, then don't give him something to "pick" at.
  40. Rurh · 20 May 2004
    Quinthanalas:
    Quinthanalas is a moron. Of course I didn't need to capitalize the A. Most people don't actually need to have writing styles to draw attention to particular words or phrases. In addition, Hravitz was arguing to me about something I repeatedly stated I didn't care about.

    Matthew:
    Not everyone is trying to ruin it. Some people, like corey or Huan, make it a point to frustrate and anger as many people as possible.

    EddieX: Good options.
    I never stated I was noble though (people keep telling me what I'm supposed to be thinking). However, no one ever speaking out on issues doesn't help anyone.

    Suf:
    It might be easier just to ban me.
  41. Rurh · 20 May 2004
    Hravitz:
    "Rurh, if you didn't want attention, you wouldn't ... "
    You keep posting on something that's controversial. You must be as despirate for attention as I.

    "... by integrating well into the playerbase ... clan for newbies to protect themselves"
    A) Integrating into the playerbase means becoming a randomer asshole. I don't think that'd help the mud.
    B) Unless you haven't noticed, newbie clans are targeted and eradicated on a regular basis.

    "But I never tried to bitch about it on the board"
    Then what good are ya? Killing a randomer doesn't do shit. They just come back. However, getting people thinking about the situation, and perhaps adjusting some fundamental changes, can help.

    "As for the mud losing players..."
    The focus should be on trying to figure out what's wrong with arctic (or what could be improved), and fix it. If you don't want to try to prolong Arctic's life, then why not just shut it down now?

    :And in case you were wondering, you aren't smarter than me. "
    If you were smarter, you'd realize you can't make that judgment solely based on some comments.

    As for my 'controversial posts', I may not cause massive directional changes at the flick of a wrist, but even if all I've done is cause people to think about a topic... even defend their points of view so where they have to actually consider why they think they way they do, instead of just accepting everything 'as is', and even if all I do is cause people to subconciously doubt for a moment whether the way they think is actually the right way, then my mission has been a success.

    I admit you guys cause me pause with your arguments on a regular basis. Just don't stay stagnent.
  42. Hravitz · 20 May 2004
    Ruhr - I rarely post. This string of posts is only due to me needing a quick 10 minute break from studying for finals. After thursday, I'm sure you will never see me post again. You on the other hand post on anything you can see, and you constantly repeat yourself "Corey is an asshole, blah blah blah".

    Integrating in the playerbase does not require you to random. Integrating into the playerbase means making connections and getting people to respect you and listen to what you say. This doesn't mean you need Huma's or anything like that. Look at people like Suf. Pretty generally respected by the playerbase, but not a randomer. And if you're going to cite him being BSP, that's a fairly recent development.

    As for newbie clans being targeted, that's not necessarily true. Under the right leadership, any clan can prosper. Renshai started out as being known as uber newbies. They were never known as super elite, but at least when I was leading them and for a while after I left, they were at least a reasonable force. And none of us randomed, at most we'd protect our own.

    You're telling me that killing a randomer does nothing? I'll give corey as an example, the guy you hate. BSP kept hunting him, so he refused to do anything that would jeopardize that. If you have a clan and you take care of randomers, as long as you're diplomatic with other clans, the randomers will definitely be slowed down. Also, a lot of clans will just kill randomers for fun. So I am not really sure what you're talking about. You think Corey cares for a moment that you whine on the board? I think he kills more just so he can hear you bitch.

    Finally, as for what's wrong with arctic, everyone has their opinion. In reality, Aristox has done some pretty awesome things, but the days of MUD are somewhat gone. To be honest, starting up another clan that can as least act as a spoiler between the two big clans would be your best bet. There has been tons of randoming since day 1 in arctic, actually, much more than there is now. The shriners used to gank people left and right. So you are definitely barking up the wrong tree.

  43. suf · 20 May 2004
    Rurh: I have no intention of banning you. You'd have to spam my boards, in a stricter definition of the word spam. I don't care if you post a lot, as long as you at least spend a tiny amount of thought into posting. Posting the same post again and again would tick me off eventually. You are quite civil with how you say what you say. That doesn't mean I'm anywhere close to agreeing with you, but that isn't what these boards are for.

    To be honest with you, I thought people would post comments more related to the log itself, but as long as the comments are somewhat amusing and entertaining overall that's all that motivates me.
  44. suf · 20 May 2004
    You definitely don't need to be a randomer and go around slaughtering newbies in order to integrate into the playerbase. I spend most of my first and second wipe actively negotiating my way out of hunt lists for me and my friends. I've since come to enjoy the pk portion of the game quite a bit (I think it's the most entertaining portion of the game--no zoning or preprogrammed mobiles can beat the inventiveness and ingenuity of another human being).

    In any case, the casual randomer doesn't seem to be much of a threat to anyone quite honestly. They end up dying before they do too much damage. Anyone with a little bit of thought wouldn't fall prey to someone like Huan. All that's needed is a little bit of wariness in checking the wanted board or this page or paying some attention to shouts. Granted when someone shouts 'huan is a randomer' it may not always be true, but if you aren't interested in pk, your safe option is not to group someone like that.

    The more dangerous type of randomer is when a skilled player becomes bored. Xellos Tim, or Corey (although it is a stretch to call Corey skilled) are okay examples of this. And to an extreme when an entire clan becomes bored due to lack of normal clan battle pk fun, the innocent bystanders tend to get targeted more often.
  45. suf · 20 May 2004
    Hravitz -- I have to take exception to your statements! "Pretty generally respected by the playerbase, but not a randomer." I've never met a single player that respected me. A few that fear the force of my iron boot, but none that legitimately respect me.

    I've been BSP or in a clan close enough to BSP since the end of the wipe before last. I took a hiatus from BSP for the end of last wipe when I was neutral (with Wild's blessing) or simply not playing due to overwhelming work.

    BSP is definitely at its worst when half of its members quit/take a break and has no regular leadership. At times like those, it's near impossible for someone to get removed from an enemy highlight list. Circumstances now are quite different. I've said before and I will say it again, staying out of the crossfire of clans is as simple as establishing a legitimate identity for you and your characters. Most clans, be it BSP, Wilds, Dark Moons, or Garbages, really have little interest in hunting some little shit character that isn't one of their enemies. You have to be able to prove it to some extent, since it's an obvious favored tactic of any unknown clan character to claim to be a "neutral."

    Uther tells you 'i am a squire to kos, plz dont kill me again sir' is only the most recent and amusing example.

    The best way to deal with randomers is to kill them.
