You deserve a response:
(Jinx I know you get bored very easily, so you better stop here)
I did play on the Mac that was not a lie. I failed to mention that I played a handful of LAN games. The only lie was that I wasn't ErYan. Sorry if that hurt someone's feeling (if you "knew", then what is the problem? I remember the interesting chat with Thrall, he seemed a lot like you), or if it was "trolling" but the reason I had to do this was because I could no longer play as my former pseudonym. I didn't ever pretend that I was a bad player to win games. I always used the same new pseudonym. I did not continually berate people or use unnecessary discriminatory remarks. Which is worse? It may seem "lame" to you, but are you willing to look at it from someone else's eyes.
Whenever I have been in one of those losing games with you, the one where we slowly lose pills and territory, you have never been able accept that you are also not good enough. I can sense the flogging is coming. Sure, you might be the best player in the game, but remember that the teams were designed that you had to make up for the deficiency of the other players in your team, including me. It is your greatest weakness in the game: your inability to accept that your game is not perfect (it was also mine, but I am talking about you right now, call me a hypocrite but I am stating a fact). Take the example when you lost two pills and Lancelot berated you for not planting. I even said that you were unlucky to die instead of using that as an opportunity to stick the boot in. Of course you could not accept that Lancelot may have been right, or even 5% right. As you must know, life is not black and white.
I'm sure there are no other people who are addicted to the game, just poor old ErYan, the only player who has ever given in to the temptation of returning to Bolo after "leaving". That makes me a loser. Bolo is bad for me, let us just leave it at that.
The lag does hurt. My ping never falls below 200. On average it is over 250. I don't now if you have played in games where you shoot pills and they suffer no damage, mine trees that are not actually there, or can't even snipe an lgm to the point that you don't even bother, but these are symptoms of my game play in Winbolo.
Let me complete the facts about the game with Stimpy. It was a very close game in which Stimpy intentionally "killed" me a number of times (2 possibly 3). I was frustrated that this was costing us the game that we could win. I said that if I was near him at that moment I would "beat him half to death". Let me add that I have never thrown a punch at anyone since I was probably about 9 years old, if you count a slap as a punch.
Watch the log where jhood left me by myself being double teamed in a 4v4 or 5v5. It was definitely not me screwing most of the game up. If you would just listen to yourself. "It is all ErYan's fault, end of story". The converse of your argument is that in fact, jhood should know better since he is a better player. Let's just blame ErYan.
At no stage in your argument did you address the fact that you are a narcissist. Instead you continue to attack me. This is an illogical "ad hominem" argument, specifically "tu quoque" and it may satisfy some readers, but not me. I can admit that I might have narcissistic tendencies, but accept that I am far from perfect. Are you perfect Hellscream?
As a teacher, you do not install confidence. You are Jon's mentor and I have seen you berate him in a way that is entirely inappropriate. I have significant experience as a teacher and mentor (at University and in my job) and this is probably the most successful way to destroy all of Jon's confidence. It is something he lacks (sorry if you take offense Jon, but this is my opinion). I am ready to admit that he would probably beat me 1v1 if he had more confidence. The confidence that has been eroded from him. I have been trying to work out if "tough love" is the tried and true method of the Winbolo/Bolo apprenticeship, but I can tell you now, players will improve more when they are nurtured. Kaos, for example, was such a great mentor, because he didn't get frustrated with me and never once did he berate me.
I don't suffer road rage, but it is not an absurd assumption, given my constant "whining" in games:
"oh you f--kin dick, you crossed into my lane" = "oh you f--kin dick, you killed my lgm"
Once again, a fallacious argument. You bet I suffer from road rage? Where is the evidence? Did you state the argument if in fact I did not suffer from Road Rage?
The comparison to Stalin was an illustration. The fact that myself and all readers assume that you have never killed a person would make this very clear. The poignancy is that Stalin acted callously without any sense of guilt. You do not believe you have any guilt about the way you make others feel. If you did, you would know how I feel and find a different way to take out your frustrations instead of always attacking and blaming me for the loss. Can you admit that your post-game attacks are not helpful?
Please re-read what I wrote. I asked who else you have driven away from Winbolo. I am interested if this has happened before.
As a fellow player, my only advice is to nurture Jon, Diabolo and all the other players. I know you get frustrated. So do I, and probably a large percentage of the Winbolo community at some point. But I admit that I was wrong to whine. I have no right to blame others, even though they may even be "partly" at fault. This is a team game. You win as a team, and you lose as a team.
I hope this addressed your issues.
In Summary (start reading again Jinx):
- I don't think you are a mass-murderer, although you have killed me, as your teammate, multiple times
- I think you exhibit narcissistic tendencies, similar to my own
- Nurture Jon, Diabolo and all Boloers, replacing verbal attacks with objective assessments of their games. Analyse your own game first before saying a word about anyone else's. If you could do this, it would be the best result from this situation.
