Two instant replies...now I just feel flattered .

@ Joe
I sorry if I struck a nerve, but I still want corp to battle 5 Mill sounds good. We kinda have a rivalry going with PFBHz. Because they stomped you, we are now forced to stomp you even harder. It is a public image thingy

@ Cat

I will judge you based on the Tag you wear. Until you or corp prove yourself worthy of my praise you will not have it. However, feel free to praise me

Well, I'll also judge you by your tag until you prove otherwise.
You're a snob above average player who thinks that being in the Imperfects means he's the best of the best, when in reality I saw blueberries take care of Imperfect squads and then the squads quits to make sure no more KD/R is lost.

Closed Beta Tourney winner... enough said

What did PRO place again?

Congrats.
So you beat more above average players.
Once this game becomes actually decent you will see the actually god like players join into the game and show you what happens when you have a **** bucket.

Thanks man it means a lot.

I don't mean to brag or anything, but yeah...

I really hope we get more competitive players to join, and really spice up the dynamics a bit. However, Iam not that worried because in almost every FPS I play I'm in the top 1 percentile. I have done it all GB, MLG, LAN tournaments, etc. I could list everything I have done, placed, and won... but then you just call me a snob

BTW thank you posting BF3 video, which is once again another game that I was in the Top 1%. Through on BF3 we did not brag about how many members we had LMFAO.

Ok, I'm just gonna come right out and ask... is this a parody account, or is this guy for real? I mean, everyone on this forum operates at about a 6 or 7 on the troll scale, but this dude is at a constant 11. It's admittedly somewhat entertaining at times, but after awhile I start to wonder if I'm not falling victim to the gamer version of Poe's Law.

@ Cat Merc

When did I ever say leader broads?

I get it your too for L33T for BF3 or COD . My main Competitive shooters where CS and HALO.

For CS I won a couple NA Competitions... never EU

For Halo I had a fully sponsored team and toured for MLG... did not win anything amazing tho
I can go into details if you want, but then you call me a snob again.

Nope, my favorite shooter was CS.
I still go back there from time to time.

I always get banned from servers because they think I'm cheating.
Once I upgraded my internet and could play in EU servers with reasonable ping, still the same happened.
I got offers from very well known and respected clans over here (Gaming in Israel is small, so you probably won't know them), but I refused, because I preferred to keep gaming as a hobby.

Mavado, the first system being opened up will have 250 districts, and that's just one small portion of the star map. If you want to hold even a single system you're going to need to set timers for 250 districts. That's over 10 timers per hour. Maybe other corps have no intention of actually holding a decent amount of Sov, and thus they wont need 100s of guys on at all times, that's their prerogative. That doesn't mean other corps don't have bigger ambitions.

Your assumption seems to be that the corps that are populated mostly by closed beta FPS veterans will somehow continue to improve to the same degree as a corp consisting mostly of players who have been playing for a few weeks. I'm not at all convinced that this is a good assumption to make. It's going to come down to their ability to organize long term, as well as how the game ends up being designed. Just because someone is new now, doesn't mean they will be new forever.

The bravado of some of these corps is fairly amusing. I think they actually believe that their corps are packed full of hundreds of MLG FPS gods. It's honestly kind of cute.

I've been around a long time here, and I've seen most of these "big name" guys play, and I've watched their youtube videos. They're above average FPS players, that's all. Becoming an above average FPS player in game requires basically one thing: experience. The more you play, the closer you're going to get to their level. In the next year most of them are, at best, going to get incrementally better. Afterall, it's just an FPS, it's not exactly rocket science. It's a fairly straightforward sort of skillset. I don't say that to be an *******, but let's be realistic here. It's fun to poke and prod each other on these forums, but when the rubber actually hits the road and people are playing the final game, surely they know all of this.

It's clear it's why you guys get so much hate. The implications of what you are doing ruins their little gamer fantasies that they've constructed.

Also last point and this is true in ANY FPS community....GOOD players like to play with GOOD ppl. Only so long before w/e good players that are in bad corps get tired of carrying ppl and move onto corps that more around their skill lvl.

You assume that the mentors are bad.
If the bunnies were in our situation they would probably lose too, there was more than skill factored into the battle last night.
This has been explained a gazillion times already so I won't bother to, but know this, we aren't lacking good players or mentors.

Now go back to rubbing your E-peen while we do our thing.


This is my last comment to this thread as I spent enough time explaining to people what happened and why.

It doesn't matter how good of mentors PRO has. At best they can teach people good skill setups, map layouts, and tactics on the maps. You can't teach someone reaction speed, precision, or hand-eye coordination, and you can only teach awareness to a certain degree. Those are natural traits that the truly good FPSers have. Mentors can help new players overcome the learning curve, but natural talent is what separates the above average from the truly skilled.

Just because I don't want to see stupid things like that here:
Many of those talents are given through just playing FPS's.
When I just started playing CS (my first FPS), it took me 0.8 seconds to react to someone, my hand eye coordination was bad, couldn't hit anyone moving and a goldfish was more aware than me.
Now see the above about how good I am at CS.
These things are learned, it isn't something you are born with as natural talent.
And its also proven scientifically that stuff like that improves over time with games, which is why they let people with disabilities and those areas play games to help them overcome the disability.

So yeah, total bullshit.

This is my last comment to this thread as I spent enough time explaining to people what happened and why.

I thought you stopped posting

Forum Fail!

It was something new, so I had a reason to post.
And I added:
"Just because I don't want to see stupid things like that here:"

I have this urge to correct everyone if I know they're wrong, I just can't shut up about stuff like that.


Anyway, I'm going now.
Disclaimer: I will be back if I see more stupid stuff that I have to correct.

First, I would just like to thank PRO for the large contract. Any and all ISK donations are greatly appreciated.

I am a bit confused about one thing though. CBJ states he was moving ISK between corps but the contract was about to expire when we accepted it....which means it was roughly 20 minutes old at the time we grabbed it.

If you're moving 300+ Mil ISK wouldn't you have the other Director logged in ready to go....and even if the other PS3 bricked or your toon DC, how does it take 20 minutes to get logged back in and accept the contract?



First it was "I was drunk on an SD set and I added too many 0's" Now this whole transfer bit?

Not that it really matters but I would love to hear what really happened because I don't think we've actually heard the truth yet.


Thanks again and let us know the next time we can assist with moving ISK around for you.

So your a lair and a thief

@Cat Merc please stop blowing off the experience of those that were in that battle. First you were not there, in no way was this the B team. The majority of the players were at least 3 year vets of PRO and their top teir. Your revisionist history and painting a picture that Highguy, Severance, Bloody, Shutterfly, Bonecollector are an unorganized mess and it would've gone better is a lie and disrespectful to them. Ask shutterfly and severance, they admit they got beat and have a lot of work to do. That opponent was a surprise to them but that evening had been planned with the A squad to compete against several other corp battles. In the end they lost badly, Any criticism about the performance and how others willl stack is valid and on the table. Keep spinning your PR to protect Joe and his thought process after drinking for 20 hours but don't do it on the backs of those that are actually doing the fighting. You'd be better spending that time helping create a Tactical SOP with your years of CS experience and work with your holdings group.

You didn't understand me.
There was more to it than the individual mercs.
Look around the forums, I explained it countless of times.
These dudes also admitted that they would be swapped out by better players from the A team, and their leader was offline, since the next battle was supposed to happen in 45 minutes, he took a break.
Also, some randoms got in.
And one of the heavies got D/C'd.
In short, it was a mess.

So who are you making excuses for Joe and his issues or your corpmates and their performance? If its Joe carry-on and good luck. If its the crew that is in that battle, they don't need any **** from a forum warrior like you. They're big enough to own it, it's not the first nor the last loss, but to after the fact Monday morning quarterback and say the JV squad ****** up the big game is both a lie and disrespectful to some folks who have been bleeding PRO a lot longer than you. To my friends that were part of it I'm certain that loss will only strengthen you but I know your all man enough to own it and certainly don't want to be painted as the kids who can't sit at the adult table.
