Hello Again Mighty Forum Warriors,

I have come to realize that a good portion of this player base is completely insane and not enjoying this game. They do not seem to understand that no one in the end really cares about how skilled they are, or how bada$$ their sniping is, or that their unit is one of the best in the game.

Allow me to explain, a few weeks ago one of my members created an ranking of units based upon his opinion and half as a joke. Someone sniped it and put it on reddit with a name that looked similar to his in game screen name. Honestly, we had a huge amount of fun trolling the community with it even though that wasn't the original intent, but there was something that amazed us. HOW MUCH PEOPLE CARED!

Oh yes, random player from the internet creates a power ranking and man oh man were people upset. We had so many people upset at there rankings, others were hurt they were not included, and only a few actually realized how funny the whole thing was. Some of our unit members that are into psychology think this community is worth studying as there entire existence seems evolve around being validated in a game involving glitch stompy robots.

As much as we enjoy being able to rile 3/4 of this community up at a given point I've decided to do my weekly good Samaritan act. For those of you honestly riled up to the point where you're getting upset and expending all of this energy on this dumb game...... STOP!

That is right, just stop.

When you feel you need to post that screen shot to show how awesome you are just stop.... no one cares or will remembers how cool you did in that game. I personally have had those 3000, 4000+ games. Want to know how many screen shots I have taken, none. I don't care if you believe me or not, in the end it really doesn't matter or make me enjoy the game more.

When you are getting ready to defend yourself and get all self righteous stop.... take a lesson from SWOL, just tell them you suck. It makes it all the more funny when you roll them.

Spend a minimal time on the forums..... honestly, no one cares or will remember your posts in a year or so from now. Being validated here means nothing.

And with that note I have no wasted enough of my time and am gone.

You did plan for people pointing out how hypocritical the entire post is, right?

[JediPanther]

I always screen cap and print out my screenies on 24x 32 poster boards and post them randomly around town to show how awesome I am. And it's fun to loo at and remember all the good kills and damages I've done like tie the game killing 2 of the 3 mechs left in under 2 minutes in a rambo hell inspired rage against possible defeat.

E-PEENERBATION!

It's the craze that is sweeping the MWO nation! Now take a screen shot and post it up and show us how godly you are at a fictional game, in a fictional world where you play for fictional glory.

Blueduckie I wish to God I'd known you back when I was writing my psy papers.
What a fantastic paper that would have been.
I betting you and your ilk's case studies would have filled at least a single volume.
I even have a title for it.
SWOL: A case study in Ego, Sanctimony just plain D-baggery and Odd colored Mallards.
I know I would have gotten an A for it.

See Mcgral, this is why you are a screenshotting try hard, and this is why you should stop.

1) It is a pub game, no one cares
2) My keyboard went Canadian doesn't sound very butthurt to me
3) Tell us we're terrible, in fact it kinda turns us on

What have you accomplished? Stop being a forum warrior, relax and play the game. You'll feel better about yourself and life choices.

Novakaine, think about all the negative energy you spend commenting on all of my posts. Think what a far more successful person you would be if you just played the game for fun and then did something else then replying negatively to my posts.

Your mindset is utterly fascinating.
Beside your'e such an easy target.
