And here is what it told me tomorrow's threads will look like

"Premades are all gone, now my PUG matches are horrible"

"Facehugging. Why is this dude in my grill spamming LRMS?"

"Anyone Miss Premades?"

"I get blown up less, but I lose more. Game imbalanced"

"I, for one, would welcome back our Premade Overlords"




In good news, 8 man drops are back.

[WhiteRabbit]

[Mancu]

Hmmmm... me thinks the OP is trolling.

[Dukov Nook]

Have things gotten so bad on the internet that a thread such as this is what people consider 'trolling' anymore?

I don't know, there may still be units having to run 4 man groups till enough extra members get online to fill an 8 man. But I do envision alot of complaints from both the non 8man and the 8man groups.

Let's see. Original post is worded so that it denigrates the skills of all PUGs as whole. Further, it promotes a Premades are the only reason games are fun attitude. Finally, it adds no useful content to the forum.

So yes, it smacks of elitism and looks to be posted for the sole purpose of stirring the pot. Thus troll post.

[FrostCollar]

Sounds like you traveled to an alternate dimension instead. I highly doubt there will be many posts about people missing premades. Here's what I see in my crystal ball:

"Commando 2D overpowered"
"ECM? Really?!"
"PGI should have fixed heat before releasing new content"
"RIP Jenner"
A hundred more posts in "Russ says stock mechs are extremely good," assorted DHS topics, and satisfaction polls each.
"Hero Phract is too powerful"
Hero Phract not worth the money"

And the rest. Just another day on the forums.

The OP is sad that his pug stomping days are over. Take your pompous ******* of our game.

Well, if I included all those words you did, I might agree. But since I didn't, we will have to see differently on this matter.

Besides, trolling really does involve more effort. I think that is the point you might have missed.

'Our' game? What exactly are you claiming is yours?

[Stormwolf]

Hoax, everybody with a time machine usually tries to kill ******.
Or alternately try to get their parents to meet so they won't get erased from existence.

Okay, the former head of Germany from 1934 to 1945 is censored appearantly.

Can't wait to see your future tears when you finally face full teams and get your butt kicked because you were too busy pretending to be good, farming PUGs.

[Lonestar1771]

Man the pugs not only ruined the game but also sucked all humor out of this thread....

You have used logic to uncover my ruse, and we must now and henceforth always be adversaries.

I'm not sure you quite get how badly you insulted pugs there, but you did.

They are an enriching and needed part of this community, the lifeblood of our future.

But I completely agree with you on the second part.

[Budor]

For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being
Ever yet was blest with seeing bird above his chamber door -
Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door,
With such name as "Nevermore."

But the raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing further then he uttered- not a feather then he fluttered -
Till I scarcely more than muttered, "other friends have flown before -
On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before."
Then the bird said, "Nevermore."

Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken,
"Doubtless," said I, "what it utters is its only stock and store,
Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful Disaster
Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore -
Till the dirges of his Hope that melancholy burden bore
Of 'Never - nevermore'."

But the Raven still beguiling all my fancy into smiling,
Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird, and bust and door;
Then upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore -
What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt and ominous bird of yore
Meant in croaking "Nevermore."

This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing
To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom's core;
This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining
On the cushion's velvet lining that the lamplight gloated o'er,
But whose velvet violet lining with the lamplight gloating o'er,
She shall press, ah, nevermore!

Then methought the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer
Swung by Seraphim whose footfalls tinkled on the tufted floor.
"Wretch," I cried, "thy God hath lent thee - by these angels he hath sent thee
Respite - respite and nepenthe, from thy memories of Lenore:
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe and forget this lost Lenore!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

"Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil! -
Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,
Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted -
On this home by horror haunted- tell me truly, I implore -
Is there - is there balm in Gilead? - tell me - tell me, I implore!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

"Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil - prophet still, if bird or devil!
By that Heaven that bends above us - by that God we both adore -
Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn,
It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore -
Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore."
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

"Be that word our sign in parting, bird or fiend," I shrieked, upstarting -
"Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken!- quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamplight o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!

Yeah I was definitely stirring the pot with the first half of my post but seriously people grow a sense of humor or at the very least lighten up. Some of you guys act like he slapped your mother.

^ looks like someone pugged an Edgar Allan Poe book the wrong way.

I wish to point out that I can't 100% say with certainty that something like this did not happen. I've dated a few girls with some kinks over the years, and, well, maybe the results are now in PUGs.

I'm calling you out as trolling!!

Everyone know's a man with a time machine goes back to his first "virgin encounter"..

... Unless, well... um I guess if you haven't had one yet.

"Hi, are you any good at this?"

"I, uh, have never done this before.."

"Pssh, you gotta go. Send that chick in with the tats and the heavy eyeliner, would ya?"

I would really like to see all these PuG hate threads go away.
