It's been a minute since i checked this threadnaught, but am I reading correctly, that NKVA posts are being considered rude, mean and nasty?

People, have some perspective please. NKVA remain highly humorous and entertaining, more than I can say for some posting in earnest, srs bzns tones and basically attacking others for trying to get some lulz.

Dear Coordinator obviously embraces levity, and what's good for Dear Coordinator is good for you too.

Lol. Never fails, no matter how hard Davion gets smashed, the response is always the same, look at the Kurita capital

News flash my ignorant Davion freinds, Steiner has lost more worlds to the clanners then us and we have not lost a planet to the clans in over a week, so i dont know what the **** your talking about.

And RJ, i like you, but as long as your dropdeck has a stalker with 1 LL, 3 ML and 3 lrm5s in it, your not entitled to an opinion of Kurita being bad.

How is telling new players they suck considered funny? Telling merc units who went in good faith to help out they likewise suck and aren't really needed funny?

I too have a sense of humor, it's just not based entirely on schadenfreude.

Jesus really? That's just sad. What's in it, a 400 standard and 20 tons of LRM ammo?

It's funny if you don't entirely depend on this game for your own sense of human self-worth.

Bob-

Maybe you don't feel like making a long-term investment in the MWO community. That's fine, that's your prerogative.

Battletech has been a part of my life since I was 9 or 10 years old. This is the largest single unified Battletech community currently in existence. I would like to see it survive, and grow, and maybe I'm a boring old fart at 26, but my jollies are thoroughly not gotten by abusing anonymity for the sake of shittalking I would never do IRL.

The people here are not my punching bags just because I don't have to look them in the eye and this is the one competitive hobby with zero overt rules regarding sportsmanship.

Also, that's ironic considering the shitfit HK throws when someone accuses them of being bad at anything MWO-related.

ready to engage a single light mech at any range... the perfect weapon

Either way, MWO gets a full 24-hour break from my Forum Hero Crusade nonsense tomorrow, because the ladyfriend will positively murder me if I so much as think about stompy robots on Valentine's, so cheers, I guess.

when a skilled unit (like NKVA) is always trash talking like the Lords (ggclose, stupid clanners etc,,), it naturally steers us away, because nobody likes loosing to jerks like that.

I am actually hoping I get to drop against NKVA all night tonight. I find their over the top aggression and ridiculousness to be a breath of fresh air around here. They remind me of Kim Jong and are funny for the same reasons and I expect that if we win they will still make fun of us and claim victory.

Keep it up NKVA, many muzzled trolls live vicariously through you

Im a Fed rat cuz Auto cannons..I just cant help my self! but personally I wish we could give the Liao all of there planets back same with the Dracs, reset the map and fight on the clan border. I have way more fun losing fighting clans with other IS buddies then winning against other IS. ( im not saying we win mostly by any means. 60/40 really.)


That said sadly im going to be dropping in defense begrudgingly against you guys! Had awesome rounds last night some wins some loses and I wanna 07 "-T" for the DDC atlas rush! was awesome to see!

Ha ha ha. You, too, will fall for Dear Coordinator's glorious ruse. You win battle, but wait? You lose many others because it was merely ingenious diversion.

Davions border issues are Davions alone. Nobody else is going to fix them for us. If Marik has issues with Kurita that is and should be based on their opinions of Kurita and how Kurita has handled their Clan border. My personal opinion is that Kurita is the only faction in the game to consistently say 'Bah, you don't know how HARD it is having a Clan border' to run away from fighting the Clans.

Repeatedly.

Davion fought Marik hard for a long time and won a big stretch of it. We had days of 60+ Davions vs 24 Mariks but they kept showing up, doubled down on their GIT GUD and worked to fill their ranks up. Marik doesn't run when things get tough. I'm 100% on board with the Great Wall of Space Bacon. I trust Marik to go all in.

I promise, we'll fix your border issues for you.

Valar, I have original boxed sets of BT, CT, AT and Succession Wars, and a slew of sourcebooks someplace in storage. I used to play every weekend, like it was my religion, at the Virtual World center where I lived. I'm just as big a neckbeard as anyone playing here.

I just understand human behavior, and the natural rivalries and passion that comes with competition, in any and all forms. People are going to talk smack. It's either light-hearted humor, or brazen psyops meant to rattle you.

I simply choose to laugh and not get rattled. Once a person makes the same conscious decision, guess what? It becomes nearly impossible for someone else to be cruel at your expense. Self-esteem and confidence is OP.

Fair enough. I have just offered to agree to disagree on a lot of things with HK and leave it at that, because it's ultimately not worth anyone's time.

I love a little healthy banter. I don't agree that outright rudeness and mean-spiritedness is good or desirable or even necessary for competitive play. I don't agree with the mentality that "if someone makes you mad it's your fault." Anger is natural, what you do with it is your decision. I don't agree that a mature adult enjoys these things, but my opinion is non binding and my respect or lack thereof for someone else is ultimately meaningless.

Point: I'm gonna do me. You trolls do you. We'll disagree, we'll butt heads, I will judge you for your words and actions, and then we'll go shoot humongous mecha for fun.

and that is everything that anyone should take away from the nkva zerg horde

[Valar13]

I still reserve the right to call anyone an a**hole for directly telling anyone, but especially new players, that they suck or are "the worst player(s) in the game." That's me doing me. You want to be a jerk, I'm gonna call you a jerk, and you won't care, and that's mostly fine.

I just noticed that there's someone named "Mile Long Colon" reading this thread.

Truly, how serious could anything in this game be.

must be some crossed wires at some point because i don't think any of us would begrudge someone for being new. yeah someone might get roasted for having arm lock on or a clownsuit mech fit but if you can look past the lmao none of us are going 'you should quit' i think. maybe. i dunno, this is too many serious words for kuritan royalty
