Orrrrr.....stay on topic and see if we can find and return the now legendary Scimitar? 

 

I am not trying to derail from the MM love fest.

 

I just really thought it would be a fun thing to see the community do.

 

Who has it now?

 

Is it in the hands of a 3 day noob much like the accidental faction vault transfer ended up in a small player's hands.

 

If offered a huge reward will he return it or keep it.

 

Sorry fellows.  This sounds more interesting to me.

MeanMike [1884314]

I mean ....

 

Questions about your general IQ and overall logic have probably been addressed by anyone that read your statement and can be bothered to care what you think. 

 

I'm good though. 

Apolinus [3017918]

Read Mike’s post again.  The scimitar is not remotely the topic.  Like most of MeanMike’s posts, the topic is himself and his beef with someone.  In this case, WaywardSquid.


I’m on topic.  

Apolinus [3017918]

Hey I need clarification.  Is public infighting within your own alliance / faction family always bad, or is it okay when you do it?

 

MeanMike [1884314]

Its almost like you dont see that I didnt initially address any of them, and that Hartje pops in any thread I make to spout shit to me, and that his buddies, knowing im on their team, ALSO popped in uninvited or antagonized to besmirch me as well. 

 

Or that you havent seen me respond to any personal attacks in kind for the past 10 years in this game, no matter who talks shit to me. Biased much there, buddy ? Lol. 

 

Its a bad look for the family, for sure, which is why im not gonna reply to Rhinos 4th grade comment, but if they wanna jump down Hartjes rabbit hole and gang up on me, thats not a Mike problem. I agree with the same sentiment I expressed way back then though .. public fighting with your own team is fuckin stupid, especially when a clod like Hartje with a well-known, long standing beef is the one who gets the ball rolling. 

 

Rhino and Hornz are normally both quite civil to me, but let Hartje come in and slam me, and its time to get stupid i guess. Its whatever. I'm a solid team member, I hit every war, my growth is there, and everyone knew Hartje was obsessed with me when I joined. If they wanna make a big spectacle over this dumb shit, let em. Says more about them than me lol

 

Nice try though.  I know that bandwagon is appealing to my haters when the dogpile starts :-) 

 

I appreciate my home enough to just let em talk from this point on though. They saw him come at me for no reason also, so like I said, says more about them than me.

Brother MeanMike, you're the one writing essays here over 1 liner quips.

 

At this rate, Squiddie is probably regretting locking the thread instead of letting you dig a deeper hole in B&I and get forum banned.

Deatvert [2684760] Officer Officer

What is it called when you demand every single area cater to what you want rather than what the thing is for? Narcissism? Ignorance? Entitlement? All of the above? It's one thing to not understand why something operates the way it does but deciding that not understanding it means you need to show your whole ass in public is an entirely different level. 

Apolinus [3017918]

Okay.  

So public infighting is bad.  But they started it, despite the fact that we’re talking in the thread you made for the purpose of calling out WaywardSquid in public, and WaywardSquid’s been in NS2 nearly as long as you’ve been in NS1.

 

But they started it anyway.  And also you don’t respond to personal attacks in kind.  But if the guy who holds the gold fist for NS2 thinks it’s time to get stupid, that’s on him for making a big spectacle.  In the thread you made.

 

But you’re going to let them talk.  It’s really the haters, though.  You make hits in wars anyway.  And none of this is your fault, it’s all them.  And the haters.

 

This is not a Mike problem.  

Aaassh [2546369]

In NS2 we defend our people against all threats, foreign or domestic.

 

If you looked at Rhino, you'd understand domestic violence.

SwiftTitan [1032989]

Notice how staff hasn't locked this for "idle discussion" even though that's all it is....cuz it's not in the bug report forum xD

Markland [1385260]

So skimming through the forums this morning I came upon this thread

 

MeanMike left CR and accidentally trashed his relevance

 

And I'm like "oh, well, that sucks, but I've got an idea"

 

So I decide, just to be a cool dude, I'm gonna make it fun, and hold a lil Treasure Hunt for his relevance, offer a sweet prize if anyone finds it, and who knows? Maybe even get my his shit back

 

So can everyone please search the dump and try and find his relevance?

 

I am sure it's in there somewhere.......

 

 

MeanMike [1884314]

I think where I fucked up here was underestimating Squids faith in our private chats. I thought it would be obvious that while I actually did wanna know why the thread got locked, I didnt really see the satire being taken to heart or Squid feeling personally attacked when Ive been pretty clear about my high opinion of them. Kinda sucks, but what are ya gonna do. I'm ok telling Squid I'm sorry that it got taken that way. Wasnt my intent. . 

 

I'm snarky, and I'm bored and when I saw the early karma count on the thread (32-8) I surmised that people could see I was just having a little fun with it. Then the Mike haters got on a roll enough for Hartje to slither out from under his rock and spit his usual dumb shit, which of course, gets him the same back from me, every time, no exceptions, and if people dont like it, they can tell him to cut it out. As long as he comes, I will give what I get and I dont give a fuck. 

 

People that I'm normally cool with backing up his unprovoked and uncalled for post wasnt on my bingo card though, but if that is what comes from telling Hartje to get fucked when he comes at me, ok, i guess. That dude is never gonna bully me, and I'll quit the game before I let him think he can. 

 

I guess I can apologize to NS as well, Hartje talking shit is as certain as the sun rising, Hornz and Rhino backing it up was their own decision, but I cant imagine that most folks in NS aren't happy to see such an embarrassing display, so I can apologize to them for blasting Hartje everytime he talks shit to me and somehow bringing out his defenders. I'm gonna do it every time though, just like I would anyone who starts a reply to me with off with "delete your account".  I wouldnt expect anyone to eat that, and you guys KNOW Im not gonna, so yeah... Sorry it went down, but its not up to me if it happens again

 

In closing, essaying is what I do, again, sorry, but not sorry, this whole thing is beyond dumb now, just like every exchange between Hartje and myself becomes a complete shit show. Again, no surprises there. You guys all know how this shit goes.... despite favorable karma counts on a post or thread, all my haters smell blood in the water when enough people talk shit on me, and  then people like Hartje and this SA nub come out and pile on while they think they got enough people on their side. 

 

At the end of the day, internet shit talk is internet shit talk. No one asked most of the people shit talking me to jump in, they did it on their own, and as you can see, they accomplished nothing, but gettin another essay. lol

 

Theres still more than twice as many likes as dislikes on the thread as a whole, so pardon me if I dont let the clear minority of readers make me feel like I did something horrible that warrants all this. Ya'll are loud, and persistent, but yep, still the fuckin minority. 

 

You folks have a great day now :-) 

Hornz [2220919]

Its almost like you dont see that I didnt initially address any of them

Did you forget the part where you started this thread with the intent of bashing another one of our members for her actions that were beyond appropriate? We value Squiddy pretty highly too. 

 

You spent years writing brain dead rants against us. When you were ready for a change most of us welcomed you and were willing to give you a chance, but once you start slinging shit at people who have always been loyal and respected, I have no problem showing who I support.

MeanMike [1884314]

Oh, sweet, this guy aint on my team

 

Relevance is relative, Mark. I make a spoof post and I got 4 pages of people losing their shit

 

You on the other hand, are only popping in here to improve your dreadful karma ratio at my expense and most people still have no fuckin idea who you are.

 

If you think ya gotta be a leader in the HOF to be relevant in the game, youre dumber than i thought, but YOU worrying about MY relevance is the funniest shit I've seen all day, and I've seen people sticking up for Hartje....

 

Thanks for making me leave this thread with a smile, lol.
