So this had been brought to my attention but I just got around to watching episode 2 of Boots On The Ground. According to Quickgloves our STB victory was a fluke and only happened because he wasn't in charge and Gimbleb maybe a borderline flippant remark about them beating us.
For two 500+ player corps to invalidate a small corp over a one victory and one defeat with zero consideration of the circumstances does not sit well with me.
QG getting all defensive when Kain brings up our small corp defeating STB was quite funny tbh. Quick if you need to be in charge of every match in order to ensure victory good luck running a corp of your size. STB's own members in the LFB channel expressed congratulations at beating your "self professed best" (their words not mine), it's too bad you're not man enough to just say GG and leave it at that instead of making excuses and bad mouthing us.
So for that we offer you a rematch.
Gimbleb was quite quick to interject bluntly that they beat us with not a word of G I A N T trying to set the match for most of the day while Subdreddit kept delaying until they said it was 'now or never' essentially and before I could check with my guys and reply Horus said it would have to be the next day.
Now when Kain checked in as to match results much later in the night and I informed him what happened (or didn't happen) he was understandably not pleased. Kain then called for the matches to be played and we were the only corp (the other match hadn't happened either) that said right away that we would play regardless of our player availability. No one else stepped up until he mentioned DQ's.
As for the Subdreddit match its self...regardless of having to play literally with every player we happen to have online that late we had multiple DC's and two forced suicides because of being stuck on terrain on first spawn. Now I know we've all had connection issues in corp matches before but when we didn't even get everyone into the match before our full shield was down and it ended with you guys only having just under a 1/3rd armour left...not exactly a victory to be proud of tbqh.
So for that we request a rematch.
TLDR; STB and Subdreddit let's play again

I'm sure we've got some more newbros who would be interested in another corp match with you guys.
For the record, we would have been perfectly content with a DQ, to act as if we were trying to somehow manipulate the situation is, at best, disingenuous. Short story short: we didn't have anyone online interested in fighting a corp battle on short notice... and our random smattering of players still beat your little corp.
Furthermore, to pretend like server issues only effect one side of a match is just silly. Sorry bud i just wrote the facts and asked for two matches. I was tempted to provide you with the dictionary definition of 'disingenuous' but you gave it yourself with your post.
Ready, here goes.
That's a pretty low opinion of yourself and other Subdreddit vets to refer to yourselves as "random" "newbros", you, dent, lowratehitman, PT SD and two other experienced players were all in that match. It was funny in the match vid when one of you expressed surprise that one of the guys playing was in his first corp match. So you had two less experienced players, wanna try that again?
So content to take a DQ that you guys piped up within a minute of Kain saying there would be DQs and said you were ready to play.
Short notice? We started reaching out to you guys 12 hours before we finally played. You did manage to pull a 'random' 'newbros' team together pretty quickly when you needed to though (see above).
I didn't say "server issues" only effected us now did I, I specifically said it's happened to all of us. While I can't fully speak for your side of the match I didn't notice any DC's and don't recall any of you mentioning lag. In your vid of the match though you can clearly see our multiple DC's and the suicides on first spawn.
See how all of those 'points' you made were disingenuous.
TLDR; sorry I made you cry I just want to play again

@Cat Poo the only worthwhile part of your post was showing that "dicks" doesn't get edited on the forum. But thanks for coming out.
@Rynx Sinfar we're fairly heavily EST
@Cyn Bruin thanks for the kind words, this wasn't intended to be a 'chest thump' post though just wanted to corps again that I felt spoke ill of us.

yeh we can rematch not till next weekend though i need some downtime from the tourny an all the stress.. lol
Finals were crazy too bad your corp couldnt get further in.
Anywho wat about next friday or saturday give you some time to buffer your wallet so i can clean it out. Don't understand your "lol really?", you put down your defeat as a "fluke" because you "weren't involved" , why would you think we wouldn't want to chance to beat you again and prove you wrong.
Ya would have been nice to go deeper into the tourny, maybe next time. Sorry we made you guys take the long route but congrats on making it to the final.
Friday should be good and you guys are more than welcome to try and take your 20 Mil back. |

None of us were snipers so we couldnt fire at the guy. They were putting remotes on the letters and my mass driver wouldnt blow them up. Not sure what you guys had going on on that map. So before you start your rampage about you beat us, we have video footage of you noobs using some sort of glitch to get up to the point to where we couldnt fire back at you. I call bs on that match but we took it in stride No dropship was in play it was a glitch using an uplink of some sort... it is what it is Dropship flew in at 1:40 into the match around the backside of Bravo...we have vid footage as well so don't even try and pull that crap.

Let me know if you can fit this time frame i gave you a few hours so just hit me back 50Mil sounds fine, I'll assume you are talking EST times so let's make it Friday 11pm Est. |

You want another match, I'll get you one. I'll can probably get you 10 in a row if you really want it.
It'll take a while, organizing subdreddit is like herding cats. When did you want to play, next weekend? You want newbros, oldbros or mix? any other special conditions? I can meet you over in whatever coms channel you want and we can discuss it like gentlemen. I'm on most nights 0200-0400 GMT. MSG me. How about we do Friday 10pm Est with vets, gives you plenty of time to herd your cats. |

We're going on 3 days now, still nothing confirmed. 12 hours seems like awful short notice now, doesn't it? No not really when the date and time frame for those matches had already be posted ahead of time. The only unknown was who you would be playing. |

I'm sure if we let them, they will end up throwing another hissy fit and pretending like they've some how gotten a raw deal again... So look, here's the deal GIANT. You've called us out, after already losing to us. We are supposedly scrubs with nothing to offer, right (again, disregarding the fact that we've already beaten you on your terms once)? So, it can be assumed that you can beat us on our terms right? I mean hey, anything we can do, you can do better. So, here are MY terms since you don't seem interested in taking Outlaw's terms (Outlaw's terms were designed to FAVOR YOU, no us): NEXT WEEKEND
Starting SATURDAY, March 23 1700 GMT (12:00 NOON EST)
Ending SUNDAY, March 24th 1700 GMT (12:00 NOON EST)
10 overlapping Corp battles per hour, for 24 hours straight.
The Corp that wins the most battles is declared the winnerNo ringers, legitimate corp members ONLY. We'll make it cheap to make sure you guys can afford it without issues, only 100k per battle (24 Million total on the line per corp). You'll only need 80 guys online and playing at all times for 24 hour, surely any corp seriously intending to make a dent in New Eden can handle that, right? You've got 24 hours from now to give us a definitive response. (deadline is Thursday March 14th, 20:00 GMT). You I shall ignore as requested by dent, cause dent seems like a good guy and I have a policy of not picking those that carry a steel lunch box and ride the short bus to school. |

Hey man im still wioating for confirmation friday 4 pm eastern - 8 pm eastern any time in that window pplease let me know friday is only 2 days away you asked for the match i agreed a week ago so just tell me the time please theres 4 hours to choose from 8pm EST should work, I'm on vacation right now and the dodgy hotel internet has made it tough firming people up.

Good Day. 9pm EST Friday should work...^same as above for confirmation and setting it. Excellent, I shall endeavor to make myself available at approximately 7pm EDT (1100 GMT) on Friday, the 15th of March in LFBattle to finalize the arrangements. Unfortunately, I must inform you that I hereby name you a coward and contemptible cur for dismissing the audacious challenge of the illustrious Baal Roo. I further name you a prevaricator for the unseemly tales you are spreading of the renowned Dent308. Should you decide that your honor is actually of some worth, you may advise all here present of your intent to fight a real campaign and prepare youself for true as our rifters shall blot out the sun. If you want to wait as late as that to set the match then it shall be with a director and not myself. WTH are these tales I'm spreading about dent? I said nothing more than I thought he was a good guy. I haven't had cause to look at Dust mail options to see if we can forward but if we can I'm happy to send you and anyone else the mail he sent me requesting a chat before this silliness got out hand. |

I regret I will be unable to set the match earlier as I am forced by my circumstances to entertain another, more lowly, profession than that of TEST Mercenary. I will gladly meet with your proxy to set the match. I will expect a duly authorized representative of your Corporation to meet me at the appointed time in LFBattle. As far as your communications with Dent308, I am not privy to that information, but I assure you that he is fully supportive of Baal Roo's endeavor to bring true conflict to the mercenaries of New Eden. I look forward to your acceptance of his terms when you have had the time to assure yourself of these facts. Really don't see the need to wait until two hours before the match to set it up I'm sure you have more than enough directors to set it up Thursday night with me. But if your active numbers are that low I have made arrangement for it to be done at 7 Est on Friday.
Baal's challenge is a ridiculously insincere troll at best and I'ld hardly treat it as anything but. You've never met us on our terms, the prior terms were Kain's not ours (it was a tournament remember) and it was your 'terms' that caused the match to not go forward when it was supposed to. And again with this rematch I'm meeting your terms, you are not meeting mine. You guys are getting pretty carried away with a simple request for a rematch and making yourselves look quite foolish. One would have thought that a 500+ member corp would have had just a wee bit more flexibility to play a corp as small as ours. |

These are simply two rematch requests.
Subreddit too, is a noteworthy corp. We haven't called Subreddit a bunch of "scrubs", not sure why some of you think we said that. The last match we had against Subreddit, we had a screwed up start, and we think we both deserve a good match with everyone putting their hardest game out, without dealing with technical errors, within reason. All CookieStein did was state some facts and intentions. No need to get vitriolic over anything. lol
Smacktalk is a part of competitive sportsmanship, of course, but lets wait for the results shall we? :) Yes, let's keep it civil. We are not a bunch of sweaty-palms teenagers are we? Whatever the outcome of the match if there is after-action talk, I am expecting all of our guys and all of GIANT members to keep respectful attitude toward eachother in the forums. Agree, unfortunately your guys have made that hard to maintain since the OP, your level headed mature attitude seems to be in the minority for Subdreddit, at least within this thread anyways. |
