Right, I've read a few things (not everything) and I seriously find it all highly amusing.
All of you should [w00f!] lighten up.
This IS a game, and tbh it's all fun, regardless of whether you're winning or losing...I'm enjoying retaking and pissing off "The Horde" <-LOL from reaching their size in rank.
But in all honesty now, take your head from out of your arse: people like [w00f!] and EVEN people in my fam! (I shan't name names cos I'm not gna get into an argument with people I'm "working" with). The point is, you're all trying to prove your worth and how long you can stay online for and how much of a bastard you are and practically some of you sound like if you could sleep with yourself you would.
THAT is pathetic.
It is a game, enjoy it, attack, retake, op, debate WHAT-EVER you like. But for gods sake don't start wanking over your awesomeness when you've just raided and got 100 planets from one banker who was offline - because I'm here to tell you, it is not awesome, it is quite sad that you have to announce it to the IC community to make yourself feel secure in your skin. Try saying it to work colleagues and you'll get cock-slapped you fools!
I feel for you who bring in your "reputations" and talk yourself up as though you're practically the creator of everything wholesome.
You need to get out more and tone your whole commitment to the game down, because when people start getting abusive and vengeful to the point of if you were within stabbing distance you'd pull out a machete...it get's quite scary tbh.
I've been playing for 6 years on and off, and yea sure, I get revenge, sure I've been annoyed but I've NEVER moaned and moaned and moaned and moaned when things don't happen the way I want...NOR do I put myself on a [w00f!] pedestal and basically ask people to worship me when I do pull off a strat (LMAO [w00f!]!).
So please, argue what you want but take what I said into consideration.
2 things in particular really.
1. It's a game, it means nothing to *real* people.
2. Don't try and [w00f!] yourself because you have more figs than me.
I still respect your opinions and points if they have reason, and I DO expect a lot of abuse from what I just said, but please remember you don't all half make me laugh and what-ever you do say which isn't *constructive* will fall on deaf ears as I have stuff to do.
