Ok serious last good bye. In light of drama and all this shiznit i wanna say bye [again]. Thanks for the really good times, especially pre-.ru but yeah still good times.
Claw just 3-1'd me in AO. I recorded the 1st two games but my computer was too laggy to continue recording. I'll post them up in a bit. He won 20 bucks by following rules that really really suck. So I'm going to whine! This game really sucks sometimes. Many people are amoral and don't follow conventional wisdom gentleman rules.
Customs typically have unwritten rules while classic's and BNEs do not.
Examples:
LA Archers you don't side
Archer Friends you don't wood rape until you've killed all raxes
BGH you don't gold rape
Chop Farms you don't farm rape until everything else is pretty much dead.
Pretty basic unwritten rules. The only way for me to get Claw to play me in archers was to wipe away these rules, and naturally that is one of the reasons why I lost (Besides him being better than me). Some people agree with me; folks like [AA]Deadly will only play by gentleman rules. In light of all this bs spam community versus admins and diminished game counts, I'm seriously done this time! I'm part of the problem by leaving, but none of the real problems get fixed.
We have like 8 admin now and I see 1-2 kind of regularly. Real life is way more important, but admin should be chosen by activity, mental stability, coherence, contribution to the server/community and more. Some of the admin have paid their dues, but that was a long time ago. (Example Rit is awesome and really got big into social media for a few months... I don't see anything now. If he still posts and an active W2er like myself doesn't see the stuff then that's bad too. He plays League of Legends all day long and logs into Wc2 for a tournament in the last 6 months and is still an Admin). Nearly everyone dislikes Blid for fair and unfair reasons. Why should an admin be trolling on smurfs causing grief instead of being a figurehead we can fall in line behind? Foonat is a great person, but he is never on. Dugz goes on sprees of being on and off. ~ToRa~ is by far the most active and is inundated with school work/exams. Most of the admin fail in criteria necessary to be an admin.
And yes, I know this is the 1000th post by the 100th person about this, but my perfect memory of this perfect game is becoming tarnished by bullshit! There are games with millions of people on them that you can wait less than ~2 seconds to find a game that fits your needs. I'm off to find one of those. I hope I don't reinstall wc2 again.
Bye! <3 most of you. The rest of you should be checked into a mental institution for yours and society's benefit.
