If there were any Bad Guys from last night, Dante, rest assured it wasn't just you.

That said, all I know is that I was frustrated at points at not even being allowed to spawn for more than two seconds, or communicate with my team at all, or even complete an objective, because it seems that for every neutral or multi bomb/flag combo, there's a few of you guys out there that consider it a Slayer ffa, and that, my friends, makes for icky custom playing for some of the rest of us. It's not fun, it does NOT complete the objective, and it makes people who are having an off night feel like utter crap.

You're a good player, Dante. loismustdie is as well. omalice is quite vicious when he wants to be, and it makes me laugh when I die, and he says something like, "krystyn is so fun to kill!"

I get frustrated when I am frustrated at my own inability to cope with multiple snipers taking cracks at me as soon as I respawn, or constantly being rocketed out of my banshee, because I never hear the blasts, even though I'm in the green, latency-wise ... and then I have most of my team mates getting frustrated ... it becomes a big ball of twiney frustratedness, and it's very hard to see through it to the fun the other team is obviously having.

I dunno, maybe some of us are becoming old, tortoisey codgers and can't handle the Slayer-except-it's-CTF games that keep happening in custom.

I have an idea for a coupla game types I may try and create tonight or something. I dunno.

I am not sure how many times I have to explain that if I am spending half my time in the re-spawn screen, I am Not Having Fun.

I will just say...again...that the sniper rifle was the worst idea bungie ever had for game play. Its too easy to dominate with and too hard to counter anyone with a bit of skill with it. That said, I get my new broadband connection tomarrow and I am dien to see what lag free snipeing is like

I'm not arguing about all that because in matchmaking I definetly play to win, which I know, is not how you guys play and thats cool with me. But the problem is that last night I offered to switch teams but Dasro wanted to and same with Waters. I was all for someone changing up teams, but no one ever wanted to, and look, all I'm saying is that I didn't deserve to be called everything that was flung at me last night. I was totally pissed about that, I can understand everyone being frustrated, but sheesh it went tooo far.

I think thats because you switched teams like immediatly, I know Omalice said something about you not having to switch ebcause Superjerms was lagging out, but I was trying to tell you to stay so I could go over there. It might not have made it over the chatter of the game, but I said it as soon as you spawned on our team.

Couple things.

Dante, I was certainly frustrated last night, but I've never called you an unskilled ass. You're plenty good, and your records show such. You should know by now that when I say "nobody likes you!" I'm completely joking. I didn't leave the party because of you or intend to completely disband everybody, I had just reached a breaking point in spawning, walking five steps, getting sniped by Omalice, spawning, walking five steps, getting sworded by Dante, spawning, walking five steps, getting sniped by Lois, and then the cycle repeats. When I play in matchmaking, I play to win, thank you very much. When I play a custom game with my friends, I play for fun. Listening to the beeping of a spawn countdown nine-tenths of a match is definitely not fun. So I decided I'd go out and do some matchmaking.

This is the second time I've done something to cause someone on XBL to take a reasonable amount of offense, and you have my sincerest apologies. But I'm not going to be a good little spawn-rape victim when there's clearly no way, in repeated matches, for me to do anything other than stand still and die. It's not fun, and I won't pretend that it is, so if I'm a sore loser because counting down from 10 isn't amusing to me then I'm very very sore.

I'm sincerely and entirely sorry for offending you and simply leaving, but I'll willingly swear that I didn't say the comment you attributed to me. I like playing with you, it's just a little overbearing sometimes. I will admit that I was frustrated, and I know I'm not the most fun person to be around when that happens. So, I'm sorry.

Well, I was there, but I was in the kitchen for most of the game and lagging out for the other half of the game. Only game I was around for most of was Zanzibar, and I got lucky enough with the shotgun at the seawall.

I know you guys were pissed about being two down on the one map, but do realize that we didn't notice, and that I was in the kitchen for the entire game. Really, you were only one down there (though I know it probably still seemed sucky).

I did hear a bit of flak at Dante, and I do want to take this opportunity to vouge for him. Dante has let me join up in matchmaking many moons, even though both of us knew that I would be fairly useless because of lag. Still, I have not heard him bitch about me even once. I have seen him get frustrated on occasion, but even then he stops playing until he has calmed down. I have even overheard him defending me to more skilled players who may not have wanted me partying up. I am wholly confident that he will be more than neighborly if simply asked to do whatever (I even recall one game where he switched sides 4 times to try and keep things even).

Everyone else is too, but Dante, you are a-okay in my book.


And that goes for everyone else on my friends list. Walo2 just isn't fun unless it means playing with y'alls. Wub.


Lastly, Uber is my hero. That has to be the funniest thing I have seen online for quite some time. It was like the funny was caught in a blackhole, smasholated, compressed, and distilled into a tiny little package.

Good day.

I get all confoozled about which color uniform to shoot after switching teams 2+ times.

[Incitatus]

well... Mutant and I had fun last night on double Team.

I expanded my vocabulary too...
I was unaware that i knew so many profanities...
Getting whooped by 20+s all night until the last wo games were we were so frustrated that we actually killed them all in an angrey yet satisfying fashion. Won the last wo games and advanced in rank the both of us. so Weeeee....

And as for the... "disclosure" I forwarded to you guys late last night, I think it's safe to keep it within the realms of the community, but lets not Post it or let it leak further than taht... y'know want to keep ties and trusts intact and all...


As for me, I'll be trekk'n on down to austin as of monday...
I'll be pakcing all my electronics tonight though, and simply partying it up over the weekend. You all know how to reach me if your local by some off shot and want to get together at some point.

NY to TX, comenceth now..

Er, wha?

[thunderclap8]

I'll be on a forced absense from Live for the near future. My wired internet access has gone dead. I can still access a neighbor's wireless for internet use, but the wired is necessary for Live play. My ISP is a pain to get ahold of, so it might be a while.

But I'm still around, I swear!
