I'm troubled not because PHI has lost hard-fought battles to TP; there are lessons to be learned in defeat. I am troubled because my long-held impression of TeamPlayers as an honorable band of "good guys" would appear to be inaccurate.
I do hope Team Players has just cause for saying one thing while doing another. One's reputation is a thing of value.
With that said, thank you for the many good fights. We've learned quite a lot in the past few days.
- Shotty GoBang
+1 Shotty there are some things you do not have information on. I respect you as well as some other Pro Hic, but there are some amongst you that are the root of all this...
Please also keep in mind I take NOTHING personal and forum meta/flaming/anything other than a potluck BBQ invite really means nothing to me. good entertainment tho
First, to my knowledge there has not been an agreed upon 'cease-fire' I spoke on behalf of Team Players saying that we are no longer focusing on League of Infamy, but in the same light are not guaranteeing we wont attack you if we have reason/contract/etc. to do so.
Now regarding the current attacks.... first, the attacks were placed on WEDNESDAY. you guys changed your timers and tried to hide behind euro timers, thus pushing an attack sent Wednesday all the way til Saturday. im not saying this was YOUR doing but this WAS the doing of someone in Pro Hic.
Second, I took a bit of offense when Pro Hic changed their tune to our business we had in the works. not a standalone reason for taking ALL your districts, but definitely was a contributor. Chalk it up to lack of communication etc. and life goes on, no worries and nothing personal. This was largely based on a conversation I had with my contact with pro hic and the assumptions made in that talk.
Third, as I said #2 was not a reason to wipe you. enough reason to attack you and just take what we wanted anyway, but not what has and is being done. I don't like to name people cause in all honesty its no ones business, but since I have LoI top brass, now Pro Hic themselves and likely others that will chime in I will just lay it all out there.
Our first match vs pro Hic, they immediately pulled out FP/Fused etc etc. no problem. we had not talked to them, we did not EXPECT them to adhere to the agreement we had with Hellstorm, we simply did not use them ourselves until we saw they did, and the match turned into the typical spam fest everyone has grown to despise.
ok no problem, we've gotten used to dealing with it, we don't LIKe it, but its not like we can STOP anyone from using them. SO.. we take their district in 2 back 2 back wins. after the FIRST of the 2.. Regular Trooper seems obliged to mail most of my players in that match, proceeding to call them trash and all kinds of other things that will get censored here. Well u just hit a hornets nest with a baseball bat.
I would like the CEO of Pro Hic to mail me in game or Skype me: chicagocubsnbears at your convenience so we can continue this conversation as the rest is not something the public needs to be aware of.
Shotty, I'm sorry this is how it has gone down to this point, cause Pro Hic is a great, competitive corporation that until a couple days ago I personally held in high esteem. something I think I can easily regain as well once all the boiling blood settles and we can get back to business as usual.
but motivating my players more than they already are is a volatile thing. Never woulda thought we could redline some of the teams we've faced recently, much less as fast as we've done it in some cases.
my guys always play to win.. ive seen a whole new level they've taken it to the past couple days, so whatever trooper said, he might wanna try a career in motivational speaking or something, pull out his Matt Foley impersonation ;-)

Holy ****! Does QuickGloves have any faith in his players? Djinn Hellsreaper (I think that's his name), actually switched corps to STB for this battle then immediately switched back to TeamPlayers. Humorous. Unless you've seen the TeamPlayers "A Team" in action ... then its not so humorous. Edit: "A Team" minus Jane and Annie. I can only imagine the potential carnage .
actually regnum, spinner and others were out as well for this...
and yes we were contracted for this match. mercenary work as usual, just coincidence it was against you guys, but that's fine, allowed me to charge more ;-)

Thanks for touching base, ChicagoCubs. I have relayed your request for meeting to IgniteableAura. You are correct in that I was fully unaware of recent unsportsmanlike conduct by PHI members. I've reminded our members that tawdry acts (chest-thumping, hate-mail, trash-talk) serve only to tarnish our name and reputation. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I trust that your upcoming meeting with IgniteableAura will prove productive. - Shotty GoBang
good shotty, I hope so. where I draw the line is when ppl feel the need to say stuff in game. I can separate the forums from the game with no problem.. many have issues with that but I personally don't.
the forums are for fun and entertainment, and for communicating with devs to get this game fixed to where we can all look forward to loggin on and hope we can get this community to grow.
and there is quite a difference between trash talk and chest thumping and some of the things that were said... but now we all know about it and can get things moving toward determining who gets to host NEXT weekends BBQ |

I have no idea what's going on either. The above timeline outlines recent and scheduled events. I'd like to think that someone hired TeamPlayers to wipe PHI out of PC, as this explanation would preserve (in my mind) your honorable reputation. While you're in violation of cease fire, one could argue that a contract is a contract. As this theoretical contract will likely be fulfilled by tomorrow, I'm hoping we'll see less of your "A Team" in battles to follow. - Shotty GoBang Clearly this is outrageous! To insinuate that Team Players of EoN would breach a ceasefire is preposterous. Furthermore PHI, in the eyes of EoN, is considered a terrorist cell that has rotted and corrupted the once proud LoI Alliance. Therefore, the terms of the ceasefire and unconditional surrender are not applicable to your corp. To the public, PHI has a history of making up lavish lies to discredit those with noble intentions. Moreover, Mr Shotty GoBang has no hard evidence that these so-called attacks are even taking place. Just a mouth full of vicious lies. The EoN alliance is dedicated to fighting for a better tomorrow; on all fronts. To insinuate that Team Players of EoN would breach a ceasefire is preposterous.

seriously this guy needs to be on the payroll for CCP... things would be so much more entertaining if all correspondence was in this role all the time |

lol bringing back memories. Nothing our friend Poseidon says is false. well except the fact I've never been #1 on a game til Dust (#5 socom 2 #4 socom 3 #3 confrontation and was #1 here) everyone that knows me knows im a rank wh0re. not sure what you are trying to prove there....
for those not in the know, the socoms on PS2 the leaderboards were rigged... turbo controllers were how u were at the top. Im not ashamed to admit it as I did many times over the years. I made a lot of $ selling my accounts as people wanted high ranked names.
Then went legit, built a clan, dealt with GB politics and yes we progressed.. slowly. We played some of the top clans, toysoldier, badtimes ring a bell, but 1 thing that you DONT see is most these clans ranked ahead of us always ran smaller matches.. 8v8 and such, which is NOT what Team Players ever did. Were the other clans better than us then? In most cases, yes. we played some, avoided others and life goes on.
dealing with videotaping matches to get someone to report a loss and submitting 'proof' of glitching etc in some cases were primary reasons we left the GB world. At no point did we ever say we ran GB, were good on GB, or did anything worth noting on GB, aside from the fact that we were on GB at a time in life...
We then went to the private world where some integrity was involved, and whatever u say, Team Players enjoyed and continues to enjoy what we do.
so please continue the trolling cause this really does let us take a trip down memory lane, and we HAD all this on our old website but the guy that ran it didn't re-up a couple years ago and all that data was lost |

and actually in S2 it was CHICUBS4EVER couldn't spell it all out til S3 ;)
Team Players didn't form til later in S3 around when combined Assault came out
S3 release: November 10 2005 Team Players formed: October 2006 Combined Assault release: November 7 2006
combined assault was the same game, same servers, just some new maps and additions. you could stil play S3 but didn't have access to the new maps if I recall.
At this point I played on CHIBEARS4EVER as I sold the CUBS account.
went back to CUBS on PS3 (have the BEARS psn still but never used)
confrontation #3 and there was no broken mechanic, much like here just had to play a lot and get kills and wins
sorry Poseidon the community here lacks the info so just giving it to them ;)
theres my bio for everyone ;)

honestly bro, I could really care less.
I DID find our old message board tho for anyone interested
http://teamplayerss3.proboards.com/index.cgi
we were doing leagues and tournaments by late '06 so I guess once again you're right, I'm wrong
yes I had 9 PS2s at 1 point, didn't even play S2 after a while just AFKing with a turbo controller all day while at work
you make it sound like im trying to hide something bud.
I wont divulge what I sold my accounts for, as even to this day that is between myself and the buyer. I bought the ps2s cheap, made a profit on those as well if you must know.
anything else you'd like to know? date I graduated college? perhaps grad school? wedding date? childrens birth dates?

Joeman505 wrote:Hey man, if contact nades and core flaylocks is how this game is won, that's the brakes. I'm a logistics, so I can only have a sidearm if I'm running a different suit, like my swarm launcher fit. And I only have grenades at lvl 2, and I don't like to spend aur, so I'm really not competitive in today's PC Hey, I ran viziam laser rifle back in the day, with three damage mods, and it was friggin brutal. I made tons of kills. These days, not so much.
In the matches I played against TP I got completely dominated by those weapons (flaylocks and contact nades. Mostly contact nades.), and since I don't carry them, I did very poorly. I didn't know there was some drama about not using these weapons, be a man, blah blah blah. But you can't say "you guys used it first" and then wipe the floor with us and say we were the dishonorable ones.
If you're going to use those weapons, just own up to it.
Just say, "yeah, we use them and we're gonna keep using them because it makes the game extremely easy to play." Or if you think it's dishonorable, then don't use them. Don't sink to that level, since you're so awesomely honorable. You can try and hide behind a double standard, but it's BS and everyone knows it.
So all I gotta say is this: If contact nades and flaylocks get nerfed, you better get ready to defend every square inch of land you have.
This message to the "Contact grenade and flaylock alliance of Dust" was issued by the approval of the "QQ I'm crying loudly" organisation, a subsidiary of Joeman Inc.
I pray to everything holy they get nerfed. my guys wasted sp to combat those that were using them in PC matches. im not taking the high road, low road, road that leads to the drive-thru at Mcdonalds. they are a no skill crutch used by a lot of people on both sides of the line. It is what it is. If they are used against us, my guys are more than free to use them right back.
vs pro hic, we did not use them first, you guys did, and we pulled them out and that's how the rest of the matches have been. no big deal. no one QQing that u used em or we used em, whatever.
we proved before facing you guys that we can compete rather well with or without them. the game is just so much more fun without em.

Click a clan on the ladder so youre directed to their roster page (preferably a top clan bc those links work) scroll down on their roster page until you see the last 10 recent battles..dates are there. If you are going to sit there and list off what rank you were in s2-CA on the in game leader board like you did in your first response to my post..dont make it seem like you earned it..that's what im getting at.
Im not for 1 second insinuating I 'earned' my ranking in s2 and s3. As for confrontation and this game here, well yes I am :P
Only the top 10 got a star by their name, and I freely say I was a rankup in those days. Only way u could be in the top 100. Was by turboing your toon. Great to see ya tho hope u stick around but spend 10m on these forums and 5m in game and u will know what we deal with daily. |

#2 was just a miscommunication error. I wasn't clear, things were assumed, I'll take the blame for it. BUT, if I recall correctly, you said we tried to "strong-arm" you, which implies threatening use of force, which didn't happen. Taking our land if a deal (mistakenly) doesn't go through, is actual strong-arming. I don't blame you guys though, you have the power to enforce whatever you want. Also the trash mail is a two-way street. I have received a couple insulting mails, one before any of our battles and one 2 days ago. I'm confused as to why it's ok for your guys to send mails to others, but if one of our members reciprocates, you deem it worthy of removal from PC. I ain't even mad, I had some fun in the few PC battles I was home to play in. I was very fond of the elongated 2v2 (Deluxe/Nasgoth vs Me/Chilled) we had at our back letter in one of the games. Deluxe must have ladder climbing hacks cause he always slipped away
Don't read into it. Just a game and really nothing personal at least to me. You did your job art and did what you guys wanted to do. No fault in that. As for strong arming well no one has tried that with us. I've talked to your ceo and we had a very productive conversation and im sure things will work themselves out soon enough. Ok bedtime. See ya in a few hours |

I was notified of the talk just recently, so yes, hopefully things get resolved in a manner acceptable to both parties. Maybe in a bit (if Dust survives long enough), we can regroup and give you guys some tougher games.
I have no doubt of it. You guys gave us some good matches and im sure we probably showed too much and you guys will make us pay for it. ;P |
