It had been a bad day, too many beers, and another loss that I had thought would be a win. No excuses for a bad move on my part and as soon as I clicked the mouse I went from "fuck this shit" to "dammit I shouldn't have done that". Put me on the "List of Infamy", I'm fine with that, earned it I suppose.
I do like and agree with Stabby McGinge
As a newer player, I've got to say it's pretty weird seeing what seems like older, more mature members of this community straight-up cheating or finding ways around the rules. Whether it's messing with gear to tank games or setting up AI to pad MVP numbers, it just feels off—especially in such a small community where everyone knows each other.
Look, if some 19-year-old was using wallhacks in CS:GO, whatever. But when it's prominent community members doing this stuff and then joking and gloating about it publicly on the forums? That's genuinely embarrassing.
The game creator already ruled on this and handed out punishments. It's cheating, period. You can debate whether it SHOULD be considered cheating, but that's a separate conversation.
I've been playing for almost a year and really love this game, but this kind of drama absolutely drives away new players. And here's the thing that really gets me—these same people complaining about no competition and everyone else being terrible are the ones making it harder for new players to want to stick around and actually learn the game to HAVE new competition.
If you're dominating the top leagues and then cheating because you're bored, you're basically telling new players not to bother trying to get good at building dots, learning to OC/DC, or putting in the time to compete because its all fixed anyway.
You're killing off the exact fresh blood that would give you the competition you say you want.
That's the stuff that enables frustrated rage quitting.
Thoughts and prayers for Venomcoach and his family, a genuinly good dude
I rage quit constantly, ask madmal, and remove all my gm duties. Feels pretty dumb afterwards. I am also hoping in about 10 days that I’ll be done* forever aside from riding this last batch to retirement.
Without you, this thread could’ve never been extended. You’ve literally pulled this community back together in the best way it knows how, attacking the p, pp, koo, Tom, hell even KoB got a little love/hate reminder at one point. You are kinda like a Batman anti-hero type in my mind. And the fact that you didn’t have punter/kicker for a long time drove me to a special kind of rage somehow.
Good day sir, and thank you for bringing Bort back.
