You know guys, I was told by the dudes that there's a strange phenomenon going on here in the forums and one of them suggested that I take a look and see what I can do about it. What I'm of course talking about here is the age old "lazy piece of **** syndrome" like I tend to call it. Now the people who know me, also know that I'm dealing with these type of punks on a weekly basis in my personal life so I guess you could say that I've got some experience on the subject. That being said I rarely reply to these type of threads cause you know me: I don't give a ****! This time it's a little bit different though and with this post I'm gonna perform some straight talk, and here's how I'm going to lay it down for you guys. First I'm going through some of the reasons that make this whole thing curious, then I'm gonna delve a little deeper and give these guys some life advices. And guys remember that this is not a naming and shaming type of thing and I don't try to be too hard on you guys.

Now, guys, we've seen a lot of lazy fucks here on Dust 514 so that's nothing new but there's a key difference here with this new breed of lazy fucks. Let me give you an example: You guys remember when Mr. Spero from Imperfects was caught with his virtual pants down AFK farming in that MCC, guys? Well like any other aspiring CPM member he tried to weasel out of it, no big deal guys. That's a normal reaction guys. Not blaming Spero or anything. There's a chance the dude has turned over a new leaf and stuff like that. The point here is that the guy was ashamed of what he had done and he did what he had to do!

So that brings me to the current situation and the new breed of AFK farmers: The EoN alliance. Now let me be perfectly fair here and note that they probably have a small percentage of members who are stand up guys, so I do apologise to those few good dudes. As I said this is not a naming and shaming type of statement, boys and girls. Anyways it ends up that the EoN dudes have come up with this gimmick where they are proud of being lazy fucks! Man, would I love to hear the background of these guys! Everyone who knows me, know that I've been born and raised in a culture that values hard work, honesty and earning your own keep. Well EoN let me send a message to you guys right now: You haven't earned **** in my books!

So I tell you what, guys. You go read some Hemingway, then you take your pencil necks out of your apartment, come over and mow my lawn. I'll give you guys a couple of bucks so you can go buy yourself a few ice cream sandwiches. And that's everything I have to say about this subject, boys and girls.

Your retort to the Dust community started strong, and tapered off into an ironic mirror image of the trolling attitude you purport to stand against. Ranting to an online community will not cause them to have an epiphany and proselytize over night. Also, recommending literature to a group of people as diverse as this community, in a manner that is condescending, is a bad move, just because I have read The Divine Comedy in its entirety does not instantly raise my IQ or social standing (I have actually read it - final line reads "And we stepped forth, and re beheld the stars"). You should remain nuanced when judging others actions, lest you be judged. Ultimately, though, people can and will do what they want, you just have to go with the flow and accept it. Quid pro quo.

I highly doubt the competition that will face the few that hardly actively play will be the same as when they decided to start to perma-afk. Maybe some will relish that fact, but I imagine some will feel as though they are entitled to be better at the game and will cry when they are not.

I still play some matches but usually not till I am capped so im not afraid of the new wave of players I have still some tricks they never seen and this is true for most of the AFKers vets and I never play for the fair fight like most of this new wave of players do. it'll be fun once may 6th comes about There is no such thing as a fair fight, it's a game, and everybody should be out to put everybody else's virtual clone in a wooden box!
