Maybe it will fit, maybe it won't.
But this much still remains. Truth is I've always followed a philosophy that a person's right to an ego is dependent largely on his accomplishments.
Which is why Matt has a right to one and almost nobody in Ego really does.
Maybe we have different standards. Whatever ego members seem to think makes them so damn good, so damn worthy of self proclamation, does not amount to very much in comparison to many people playing the server.
The cream of the W45 crop will not feature many of Ego (though it will feature a few).
Don't get me wrong. I don't want to come across as a snob looking down or you guys. I do not think Ego is anything but a skilled tribe with a solid member list. I do not presume to prophecy the theoretical result of Ego vs RAKI.
But the line you people constantly play "Theres no point in being awesome without letting everyone know", your tribes general code of forum behavior (i.e. "We're awesome"), etc. Seems hollow when you consider what past records your players and leaders have had in comparison to the self opinion you guys seem to have now.
One does not justify the other. To a guy who's lead more rank 1 tribes than anyone else in .net (assuming that a tribe has to last at least 5-6 months in order to count), your (tribe member list in general) past does not seem as glittering as your behavior would suggest.
Nobody's telling you to be humble. We're telling you to earn the right to a ego before demonstrating it. You haven't yet. Maybe in this world you will.
Aaqib, you always have a way with slapping someone in the face and leaving them dazed. If anyone deserves the right to flaunt, or the right to criticize another tribe, it is undoubtedly you. But don't think that by posting Bwah's sitter-abused profile you can hop into funny mode get away with being harsh and cruel.
I, however, think members of Ego!!! have every right to their ego. I'm not sure why you're setting the bar for having a sense of self satisfaction in a browser-based game as high as having to lead several rank 1 tribes (Lasting 5-6 months, no less). That's equivalent to refusing to give a child a medal because the little league game he won wasn't the Olympics.
No, you take a look at any member in Ego!!! and you will find a history full of success. Take LastApparatus, for example. Can he fly? No. Can he melt metal with his eyes? No. For god's sake, is he even good at the game itself? That's something to discuss in another topic. But has he led a handful of successful tribes? Yes. And does his lack of godhood that you claim Matt has ascended to in a heavenly chariot full of "
more rank 1 tribes than anyone else in .net" any way, shape, or form diminish his success? Absolutely not.
Now, don't get me wrong. Absolutely nothing justifies being an ass on the forums or being Nuaz in general. Nothing gives
anyone the right to be an ass in any situation. I will agree with you that our tribe's forum personality has been that of a child. But, then, you must come to a realization that just about every premade that has come before has had its handful of players who refuse to keep their mouth shut.
You also claim that we trot around with an "we're awesome" personality on the forum. Some of this may be unearned gloating, as I am relatively unfamiliar with the alias list. But, the majority of it is simply pride in one's tribe. You judging us for not deserving to show our tribe's mottos because we are supposedly not the cream of the crop is similar to yelling at a Ghost player who has "Boo!" in their signature, because they are certainly not a
real ghost!
My argument is over, and at this point I am simply speculating. I honestly feel as though you are not arguing against Ego!!!'s forum personality as you are arguing for Matt's. He even admitted that three pages of back and forth bickering was simply "arguing semantics for the heck of it". That's called trolling a forum, deliberately attacking something "for the heck of it" in hopes of inciting a response. We all know Mattcurr is a eloquent speaker, and will be able to shut down just about any argument thrown at him. But, regardless, his actions on the forum alone put him level with DecisiveBlow, if not lower.
If you have come here to argue he has the right to do so, to put down DecisiveBlow in an obviously flustered and defensive position, because he has led a top tribe or six, then you are also a troll.
