I am Michael Arck

I am a capable fighter, though the forum would label me as a scrub. I do not adhere to such limitations for I am ever growing and learning.

I am at my best when I am with a squad. My eyes dart to the squad scoreboard and I fight to stay within the top three. This is my motivation and fire.

I think not of self but for the members of the team. Blueberry or not, I will fire upon an enemy who seeks to kill my brother in battle. I curse myself and apologize if I cannot kill him in time. I will heal my brothers in combat when necessary. I do this not for WPs. I do this not for being on top of the scoreboard. I do this because there is no greater victory than when its achieved through teamwork. What is the worth of raising the glass in cheer by yourself?

I despise the arrogant elite who think they are better than anyone else. I have been taught that humility is key, even if you're the best in your class. I believe in honor amongst warriors.

With that said, I have met mercenaries who are the best in their class but are absolutely humble in their approach. I give them my absolute respect. Do not mistake me, they know that they are good fighters. Arrogance is different than knowing what you are.

If you stand with me, I will stand with you. If you bleed for me, I will bleed for you.

I enjoyed killing and tea bagging you the other week, watching you rage quit just made my day, it saved me millions of isk as well because i didn't have to pay the bounty i'd offered my squad mates for each time they tea bagged you.

And may the true God have mercy upon their souls because I won't.

the 5 members of my squad would disagree, they were all disappointed they didn't get to drain my account of isk, but i'd be willing to admit there is no evidence that you quitting the match was related to either rage or being tea bagged.

[Tone analysed. Delusions of grandeur detected.]

Post analyzed. Poster discovered new set of words that he has been waiting to post all week. Opportunity presented.

In all actuality, nothing in my OP displays delusions of grandeur. It is an honest look at myself and the community.

No it wasn't the other week. I remember the incident. It was in November. I remember because when I died, I thought "kids still tea bag?? What kind of cornball is this?".

The team played horribly that match. I don't care if I lose but nothing makes me get completely pissed off when team members don't work with each other to achieve victory.

Hey, I lost. That doesn't bother me. I learn from losing. You just better be careful of me when I see you next time. I'm not scared to "punch you in the mouth" with my rifle.

I'm trying to exhibit my mad linguistic skills? This from Mr "I do not adhere to such limitations", "I think not of self"?

Get over yourself, brah.

Well i have to disrespectfully disagree, because it was during this patch which wasn't out in November, but details details the point is I don't like your opinions and when possible I will punish you in game for them :D cya around.

That was more a criticism of the ridiculous level of self-importance conveyed in your tone than of the actual message.

See you on the battlefield Nancy

I actually like the OP :3

LOL that wasn't self importance. You are greatly misguided in your discernment and comprehension abilities.

The TL;DR for the slow?

I'm not that great of a fighter but don't count me out. I respect the humble good players of Dust and despise the arrogant elite who are condescending to others.

Now you get it? It wasn't that hard, really.

It was in your attempt to pad the fairly uninteresting message you've summarised here that you got all silly and haughty about it, as if you imagined yourself delivering some grand Shakesperean monologue.

No it wasn't during this patch. I remember it indeed. Lol punish? So I guess Dust is your outlet to get that small man rage out huh? Well I don't personally like you either. I am going to crush your soul when I kill you over and over again. Know that my victory will burn you deeper than any victory you can possibly get over me.

See you on the battlefield Nancy

Good luck with that.

I am Michael Arck. *climbs atop a nearby LAV to deliver his sermon*

There are those among you here who would call me scrub! Who would seek to tear me down and harass me. To them I say!

I say, sirs, I am a modest man but I know my strength and it is sufficient. I see the scorn upon your faces and hear in the way you express yourselves your narrow worldviews betrayed. I hear this and I reject it! For I am a child of the universe and the matter I inhabit is stardust, shed from heavenly bodies as they burned away their lives.

This strength I have does not belong to me. It is my team's. I draw it from them and to them I give it. This duty burns within me, an echo of the burning of those distant stars I call my home.

HOO RAH. I AM MIGHTY SPEECH MAN.
