I wasn't condemning his tactics, rather I was just using him as an example of somebody who is good at a certain game type. No matter how questionable his strategy may be, you must admit that King Herpes is indeed a "specialist" at that map...

[Mr Changsha]

wait, so you mean you're joining the ones where a team makes like 50 of the same game right? cuz what if i start a random doubles game... are you gonna gangrape the shit out of me or something?

Sometimes innocents get caught in the cross fire, old chap. It might be tough for you but think of CC goodness in a general sense, rather than in an individualistic 'yeah but what about my doubles games?' kind of way...

With that cleared up, I am finding it a little difficult to get on board with this. Haven't both of you set up thousands of team games over the years? In fact, I think we can safely assume that johnnyhypocrite probably has some record for this secreted somewhere in his 'I love me!!!!!' t shirt.

I don't disagree with your intent at all, but for you two to try and come across as the chaps to 'clean up the streets' after Fitz has set up thousands of foggy, freestyle dubs 2.1s (a game not known for giving the uninitiated an even chance) while johnnyrocket24 farmed his way to the conqueror spot (and I don't doubt set most of those games up along the way) seems hypocritical in the extremest sense of of the word. 'Do as I say but not as I do'. You both built your reputations off of thousands team games you set up, but now want to lead a crusade against other players who are doing the exact same thing you did?

I played probably 10,000 team games which I did set up or joined team 1. Actually, if you would have taken the time to read AAFitz post you would have understood it is to eliminate all the team games that are in waiting stage. Whatever conclusion you came up with is whatever you want it to be.

This is hilarious. 'The free Ride is Over' more than just suggests that the objective is to force teams that wait for randomn opponents to play proper opposition. That isn't a 'conclusion I came up with', that's what Fitz wrote. You, a chap who has played 10,000 (thanks for the clarification btw) games as team 1, are now making efforts to get those numbers down having 1. probably caused more of this kind of backlog than anyother player - yes I saw your 'I need more open slots to start even more games as team 1' recent sugs and bugs piece (which suggests the kind of about face not seen since Gordon Brown eliminated the 10p tax rate) and, most importantly, 2. are associating yourself with an effort 'the free ride is over' (you can't get away from that johnny) to force farming teams to play more competitive games.

To repeat, I agree with the concept here. However, it still smacks of gross hypocricy for Fitz to claim he is coming down hard on the exact behavior he has perpetuated on CC for years. You may not see that as YOUR aim in this case (playing ridiculous numbers of games is I am sure your main aim as always), but for Fitz especially, a poster I in general quite like, I find it hard to understand how he cannot see the inherent contridiction in championing true competitiveness on CC NOW, while having benefited from doing the exact thing he is now criticising for years. Did HE ever have to face really solid opposition jumping into all of HIS games when he was on one of his 'make a thousand points from 2.1 dubs binges?' He didn't consider this issue when HE was setting up 50 2.1 dubs games in the past?

Ok this is whats ridiculous. Ill start by saying everything you state is 100% correct. Just so there is no confusion here. Again, you are correct. Of course you are. I hope everyone that reads this knew all of this, before you ever posted it.

That being said, you are a little off track with your post. Im actually a little insulted you didnt see this for the obvious toungue-in-cheek proposal that it is...I assure you...most did...but since you didnt, let me address this misdirected chastising of my joke/challenge point by point...so we can perhaps move on. And not trade another few pages of me agreeing with you pointing out my many flaws.

Ive not built any reputation by starting world 2.1 foggy games. I play those because they are the most fun game on here in my opinion. Its also, what I consider to be the most fair map on the site. There are no tricks, no secret doors, or attacks, or bonuses, or sneaky ways to win....its just a big classic map of the world. I play it because I know that a new player off the street can beat me on their first day, as many have, and many will continue to do. Ive also set up thousands of others on countless maps and settings....as I already pointed out and have never once hid that, or suggested otherwise. You might want to take a quick peak at the thousands of other games ive set up along the way, including the thousands of random partners ive joined with and played with.

Also, I admit that ive been part of the problem in the original post, so condemning me for something I openly admit is just silly. I already took care of that. Further, to think im stupid enough not to think the people of CC have not seen the thousands of team games Ive had waiting is well, just disappointing. Im also not looking for some kind of medal here, or recognition...This was made in the hopes of getting others to do it too..and as always shake it up a bit...with a bit of ironic humor...that...well...apparently not everyone can see for themselves...

More importantly. This is being done in the interest of competition. Its being done in the interest of fun. Its being done in the interest of making the game more fun for all. Now those are the kinds of things I hope any reputation I have reflects and always has reflected.

This is not some farming plan to strip bad teams of points. This is a suggestion for all good teams to make it the site more challenging for other teams. There is no doubt I will lose points from this, there is no doubt I will spend lots of time losing those points, and put lots of work into losing points, and losing games. I think its worth it though.

However, the goal, is to eliminate some of the 1800 waiting team games, in the interest of making CC more fun, and more challenging. If you feel this hurts my supposed reputation, then so be it. But I think youve completely misunderstood the point of this endevour.

Also, the person I started on was JR himself, by joining a bunch of his open triples games...again, knowing full well it would probably cost some points.

Also, there are no innocents here. When someone makes a game, anyone can join it. Im just suggesting that since there are 1800 team games out there waiting for teams...that some established teams, join them, and raise the bar here.

Finally, If you cant see the fun in this, I dont know what to tell you. Anyone that knows my "so called reputation", knows thats what this is all about.

Theres an obvious, purposeful, and blatant hypocracy to this. But since that's half of the point in the first place, Inst pointing it out a bit self-righteous.....well.. maybe misguided is a better word....since I point it out myself, both directly, and indirectly in a very obvious way, that no one could possibly miss? Re read that post...perhaps you missed the subtleties.

Unless of course, after seeing my countless posts...that I in fact...posted "The Free Ride is Over"...and truly suggested that I was going to single handedly join all the team games, and win them, because I am just that good.

I am sorry if you misunderstood this to be anything other than it was. Surprised, and comically so, but sorry nonetheless.

Now Just go have fun and join some team games, to get rid of some of those waiting games.... Unless of course you want to make a post about how I am longwinded, and go on and on and on, when the point was made on the first paragraph or so...
In that case go for it. Ill keep my keyboard handy.

Well it would be a bit rich for me to criticise you for being long-winded, as I am well aware I suffer from that same fault at times too. I wouldn't want to bandy around the word 'hypocritical', only to have it thrown back, quite justifiably, on to me.

Believe it or not, I actually read your posts quite carefully, and I was well aware of the cirumstances involving JohnnyRockets's desire in sugs and bugs to increase his games waiting to 100. I was also quite aware that you saw the hypocricy (that word again!) in your post in the first place.

So why get on your back?

1. You might like to think that if you write 'I know I am being hypocritical' that somehow exonerates you from being hypocritical. It doesn't. The fact that you are aware of it merely proves that you are not an idiot. It is rather like when someone says 'I don't mean to be offensive but...' and then proceeds to be offensive.

2. If you had titled your thread 'Let's get those waiting games numbers down!' I would have probably let it go. But, 'The free Ride is Over' suggests a 'let's clean up the streets' motif which frankly, in this case, you are in no position to run with. Your title suggests your thread has more to do with just getting waiting games down, but rather has a sense of increasing the competitiveness of CC. That's what I am calling you on. Why do you have the right to organise players to increase the competitiveness of other player's games when you spent years doing the exact same thing and more often than not, I would think, to a greater extent than a lot of the players you are now targeting? Just because NOW you aren't setting up 50 waiting public dubs games you can go batman on us?
3. When YOU were concerned with pushing up to brig. (or whatever) I am sure you were hoping for lot's of wins to get you there. I am sure a lot of the players you are targeting are hoping to do the same thing. Yet now you ('I can lose 1,000 points no bother') are attempting to stop other players from doing what you did before because, having already achieved YOUR GOALS you see no problem with disrupting THEIR GOALS. So I am forced to add heartlessness to the hypocricy!

[AAFitz]

Ok, look if you dont have a sense of humor, I cant help you out there.

Perhaps I did in fact built a batcave, and donned a carbonfiber suit, and named a sidekick JohnnyRobin, in some crazy scheme to assault the gothem Teams of CC However, If you think I am doing so seriously as a crusade, and not as a halloween costume for some fun... again...I dont know what to tell you.

If on the other hand you are somehow scared that I am such a good team player that I can single handedly wipe out all the other good teams and steal their points...or worse, that I think I am...well...foe me, then laugh...if you have that capability...because at this point...im starting to wonder

As far as suggesting this is not good for CC, I think you are just simply mistaken. 1800 waiting games is a joke, and its so bad that its a symptom of a broken system. I dont think its too much to ask a few teams to join, instead of create games without looking to increase the competition, and fun of the game.

Well it seems that we both probably feel that each of us is failing to address the other's point (though I think I made a little more effort to do so than you did).

I have no intention of repeating myself and I don't wish you to do so again either. My views are on record and whether that paints me as the 'party pooper' or the 'crusader against hypocricy(known be damned!)' is something for others to judge!

1800 games, that is a lot. But when you say :

your "partner" in this has 24 trips games waiting aswell. Why didn't he join, instead of create games.

Ok, he didn't create them, but still, its the same thing

yes.. as admitted. We are part of the problem AND will continue to set up games.

Perhaps what you may just be missing here though is...I am suggesting other teams go joining settup games....one might realize that that would include.....................wait for it.....

our games.

So for those who have missed it once again...I am suggesting the free ride is over... for me, for JR, for everyone....

of course its half in fun, but for those who want to take it completely serious as Mr. Chanangra suggested: that we are caped crusaders....please dont assume Im not intelligent enough to fully understand the situation for what it is... Perhaps I was naive to expect any reading this to not realize I knew the irony of this already.....especially...since I point it out specifically myself...but its just taking away from the fun of it...

Besides...there are so many more things you can poke fun at me for..I leave an endless supply....why pick the ones I have already openly admited? All I can do is say, I agree...which again I will do:

[quote=AAFitz]"Masli, you are correct. It is completely hypocritical...minus the fact that we both already pointed this out...but hypocritical nonetheless.... JR and I have open waiting team games. We have set up thousands of them in the past, maybe will even set up thousands in the future. We have been, are, and possibly will be part of the problem"[/quote]

Perhaps instead of researching that now, you can find a partner or partners, and give us a run for our money...instead of pointing out that which is painfully obvious at this point.

I had 50 in waiting which is why i could not create any more. Fitz asked me to join games with him to decrease the games in waiting status instead of asking for the level to be increased to 100. I agreed. There are still 24 games left waiting to be filled. I never dropped them so the the players dont feel I left them hanging. Hope that answers your concern.

LOL... Masli...just say... "Oh. Ok then."

[Masli]

lol, I knew that this would be your reply

it always sucks when having a good team that 1 drops them

and fitz

yes.. as admitted. We are part of the problem AND will continue to set up games.

indeed, we all are

Will try to keep that in mind the next time I want to make or join games

[AAFitz]

Now that we are all in agreement here...

Fitzman and Johnnyrobin reiterate: "The free ride is over."

sorry JR... how could I possibly resist that opportunity.

[Masli]

I dont know, but considering the answer...it may have been in your best interest.

yes...I know...the same could easily be said about most of the things I say...

Yet another reminder of why I just don't play teams any more. If I do, it will only be to get medals.

What I would like is to let those of you who have set teams challenge and play each other, but also let those of us who don't simply play together in random teams without knowing we face a championship team.

In the general games, there seems to be a sort of "unwritten rule" that those of very high rank won't join the low-ranked games. It should not be different in teams. Competition is fine, wonderful, but why should the rest of us have to play private games to venture into the team front?

If you start a team game, you will be targeted.

JR, me and a few others are actively seeking you out, and will be giving you the best game we can.

The other day there was 300 doubles games waiting, and now its down to 150.

Triples are next.

I Urge all teams with this power and room for games to give a glance through the waiting players games. There were 1800 waiting team games at one point. We need to shrink it.

The added immediate competition will be great.

Ive been part of this problem myself for quite some time, and certainly will still start some games too... but from here on out, I hope that all know they will be met with some serious teams when they do start them.

The Free Ride is Over.

Gosh, I say Fitz, you've come over all macho and assertive, whatever happened? Reading the above, I felt like the slightly drunk guy sitting at the western saloon bar when the clink of spurs on the dusty street assails my ears, the saloon doors swing open, the light dims as you, johnny and others (Alan Ladd, Clint Eastwood, James Coburn, the Duke..you know them, all the usual suspects) fill the doorway. At this point I look at my whiskey and think "Shit, bang goes the neighbourhood"

Another off the topic remark but still a question within this thread.
"CC's anti hero" is that a nickname someone has given you here or is it a nickname you have rewarded yourself with?

[Masli]

and your's isn't ????

[juventino]

and your's isn't ????

Hum? Do explain?
