I know I am but a lowly Mechwarrior who really doesn't really stand up to your greatness, but just a point to raise for your consideration.

If you wait until *ten minutes* into the CW match to say your first complaint about how people "don't know how to play", you are doubtlessly right. After all, you being on your last mech indicates how much you were in the thick of the fighting.

But perhaps, sir, could you share your greatness and advice with us lowly Pugs *before* we engage? It would make it much easier to slot ourselves together seamlessly under your masterful leadership.

Without your awe-inspiring words, such as "I guess u dont know how 2 play" and "why didnt u stop them at gate", we were adrift and leaderless. Your opportunity to mold us into a team that could have crushed the opposition. Unfortunately, we did not realize the brilliant mind that dropped with us until it was too late to fully soak in your greatness.

If you find that it is just too much work to type useful advice and direction into chat prior to engagement, perhaps it would be better if you SHUT YOUR FRIGGIN MOUTH AND LET US FIGHT rather than get distracted by your IDIOTIC WHINING. Perhaps if you spent more time fighting and less time bitching, we could have won. Jackhole.

Sorry, couldn't hold it in any longer

This should also apply to pugging in general! Love it! Laughed so hard almost fell out of my chair!

[Lukoi Banacek]

Great thread Strat lol.

[Summon3r]

literally LMFAO'ing right now

[Dawnstealer]

My favorite is when these PARAGONS OF THE MECHWARRIORINGS, truly THE GREATEST TO EVER PLAY THIS GAME, call everyone noobs and bail out three minutes into the match because no one followed them and they were incapable of sticking with the team.

[Triordinant]

I used to see people like that in the public queue all the time and was wondering where they all went because they're so rare nowadays. I guess they "upgraded" to CW.

[HARDKOR]

Good show, my man.

[Doc Sav]

I think I have played with Dear Super Awesome Player too!

[Beadhanger]

that is....funny

[Noesis]

He can sometimes be seen correcting opponents, so he does spend some time dispensing his own brand of useful guidance, unfortunatley this is not so helpful I guess as it is focussed at or for the benefit of opposing players:

"WHY DONT YOU GET A REAL MECH INSTEAD OF THAT LRM BOAT"

"NEED TO REMOVE AIMBOT YOU ***"

"MY TEAM HASNT GOT A CLUE WHAT THEY ARE DOING"

"YOU ONLY WIN CAUSE YOU USE CLAN TECH"

"{INSERT WEAPON THAT KILLED HIM}'S ARE OP"

[Almond Brown]

One can only smile, then cringe, when that one Mech runs off, the other way, only to become the first Text Chat entry and then the "blaming game" starts. One cringes at the waste of what might have been a perfectly good Mech and then the smile when the oh so obvious "noise" starts up in Chat. Oh boy, VOIP will be a glorious addition indeed for those critters.

Well done OP. Especially liked that last paragraph. Properly enunciated, well CAPPED for emphasis and accurate indeed.

"Oh my god guys, stop acting like you don't play this game every day and stop expecting me to tell you how to do EVERYTHING."

"AwesomePlayer, dude, here, have a Snickers."

"Why?"

"Because you turn into a Soggy Gorilla when you're hungry, man."

[Killaxis]

Awesome Player or not running off by yourself without ECM (even with in some cases) is called Suicide....Just don't do it....

No sure how to read that, but a guess. The OP's point.

If you got nothing to say in the first 1-10 minutes of a Match, then there is literally no point at all in pointing out that your/the teams death/loss was obviously due to the fact that no one else did SFA at the 12-15 minute juncture.

P.S. FTFY

I agree I think I will stick to RAID Call of Team Speak thanks....

[jackal40]

I just have to say thanks for the laughs - I really needed one today.

YOU ROCK, SIR!

Hope to see you on my team in the future.

[Kiiyor]

Quoth the silent until now 10 man to our asked-for-a-plan 2 man:

"You ******* pugs can't just do what you want. You lost us the match. Reported."

"But.. I... What?"

[Templar Dane]

The biggest mistake I see most of these guys make, is being out of position.

It happens to us all, but if you're gonna do that and get yourself blown up, please for the love of all that is holy SHOOT AT THE ENEMY MECHS. Like hurrrdurrr I'ma gonna sit in this here spot that seems awesome in my eyes but then when I get a single medium laser raked across my mech I'm gonna herpaderp and die without having fired a single shot.

You're one of twelve people on a team. If your team puts out more well-aimed fire than the enemy team, you're gonna win. Do your part.
