And now we have an avatar of you shitting, you have come a long way.
Well Laugh at my first post! Well, it's actually my second post, the first one was me asking for a later BWC game, been representing West USA for 7 years. I can;t believe how into this game I was holy shit. Emo much? It says this is my first post but it's from 2005 and I registered in 2003, doubt I registered and never posted but maybe so. Can't believe how long this Pandora thing went on GOD DAMN shit is crazy.

As another season comes to a close, I just wanted to give my own personal Hot or Not picks for the year. What's Hot are the people who set up everything that goes into making TW so much fun and sustaining such an endeavor. From the Coordinators like Nethila and Pure Luck; to each of the staff who spend their time programming bots and keeping the game up and running; to the people like Rab and Nickname who give it an extra flare with added events and commentary which make this so much more than a "2d spaceship game" (lets let this be the last time anyone uses this over-used meaningless cliche term); to everyone who spends their personal time controlling this game, I thank you. I know there are tons of names that I am not mentioning, but to all of you I personally appreciate all that you have accomplished. No, I'm not trying to become staff or get on a squad.
What's Not Hot is the general needless negativity that has also come to define TW. After a long season and a great game against -Final- every member of each squad said gg to each other and then the people in spec immediately began to flame my squad. Maybe there's something I need to know about Pandora that I have overlooked, but I didn't feel such words were necessary or warranted. DirtyJackal logged the game's spec chat, and I just want to point out a general trend of hatred that I feel TW could well do without. Though this is a fun game, it is the relationships with people from all over the world that is really what this game is all about. Maybe I'm just being a hopeless sentimental, an incredibly naive fag, or maybe my squad really is full of assholes, but I think that there is something to be said and learned from the following quotes issued during our semi-final match today. So here it is, today's NOT winners:
DirtyJacka> Their spiders are too weak. Pandoras spiders work together, like a unit.
DirtyJacka> That's what seperates these 2 teams
ph> Nerd needs to quit talking
spikey> you have played this zone what, 1 month?
Kawrae> lol save us from that dirty
ph> Tired of fat kids offering useless opinions
spikey> yeah you're from DSB lOL
Abbot> well go back to dsb
ph> Go eat something and hush
cripple> !myfreq DJ
cripple> PM the TWLBot with !myfreq
PaulOakenf> oh did a DSB guy get here and start talking shit because a bunch of guys that don't base are being beaten by a bunch of guys that BD more times in one week than -final- in their whole existence?
ph> Yeah, they need their cheerleader
ph> Nerd still talking
Pure_Luck> if pandora loses
Pure_Luck> they will all commit suicide
ph> Especially this DirtyJackal geek
Abbot> i hope they all go back to dsb
Enishi> pandora is from dsb?
spikey> their spiders, apart from sarger are
Enishi> no wonder
GundamAnge> Pandora will not break -F-'s cram, they don't learn that in dsb
Pure_Luck> i remember when pandora almost dissolved
Pure_Luck> cause they lost lol
ph> Now shh and let me watch Pandora choke and whine
spikey> how long until eelam leaves squad? takin' bets
cripple> first mouse/eelam will talk trash to the squad
ph> Better question
ph> Which Pandora member will whine first
cripple> mouse will over exaggerate and dissolve
Server <ZH> spikey the question is.. how long until mouse dissolves
cripple> mouse/eelam will lecture clan
DirtyJacka> hmm Everett just ate a burst.
ph> Hmm DirtyJackal is still talking
ph> Dumb fat kid
Pure_Luck> pandora gonna cut veh's head off
Pure_Luck> if they lose
ph> Waiting for "Vehicle has been substituted by tim"
Metal Head> MAX B
Metal Head> THE CHEATER
spikey> lets all pm mouse with !sub veh:tim
Dutch Base> pm him with ?squaddissolve ?
cripple> i'll bet 5$ less then 1 second when game ends eelam/mouse start trashing -f- and spec chat
cripple> any bets
cripple> trash talkers finally put an end to their saga
ph> Pandora dissolves in 15 seconds
cripple> YES
cripple> YES
cripple> YES
cripple> YES
cripple> YES
WOW, Now thats a lot of hate! Well, obviously this isn't the entire log, I'll send it to you if you want to soak in the uncontrolled aggression, but I think you get the idea. Reading logs is always fun though, and if you've read this far, I bet you're just waiting for me to whine about it some more. I mean, thats what you guys want and expect, right? For me to whine and dissolve and trash talk? You certainly said it enough. Maybe I haven't been reading forums as much as I should, maybe my squad mates have made more of asses of themselves than I thought possible, but I think there's more to this than that.
It seems like PH must have gotten into a huge argument with Pandora that I missed, that's the only explanation for his calling DirtyJackal fat and dumb every time he got the courage to type something. DirtyJackal certainly dug himself a grave in the beginning, especially as we lost, and even I would have said something to make him shut up, but does everyone have to be so rude about it? I mean he didn't exactly do much more than make a lofty observation, and he isn't the first player to show a little arrogance. But I think one nasty comment from everyone in spec would have sufficed. But it just never ended. It dragged on and on, kind of like this post.
Maybe I've been missing an inter-league dispute between DSB and TW, but this seems foolish to me. I've been playing TW for a while, and I personally like it when fresh faces begin to play, and I think TW players and staff should welcome players from other leagues. If we didn't ever get new players, TW would become stale and would have died long ago. So why do we have players like Abbot saying he hopes Pandora goes back to DSB forever? He thought it was important enough to mention it twice. Do we really want less good squads in TW? Abbot has always seemed nice to me, has it all been a ruse? I don't think so, I think its just easy to start adding fuel to the flames to make himself be one of the accepted crowd. It would be a lot harder to question the pure hatred as I am doing. I think that because DSB is easily seen as seperate that it is easy to flame them in hopes of making oneself fit in. So now we have someone named Enishi making fun of Pandora's otherness, someone who doesn't have enough TW experience to know that they are mostly from DSB; he has to ask first. But he has enough experience to know that by joining in the flaming, he has become one of the boys.
I'll just finish with a final observation. Toward the end of the match, when it began to become clear that everyone's hopes of Pandora losing were going to come true, people began to anticipate the obvious whining and flaming and eventual dissolvnig of our squad. In their minds they could already see Eelam and Mouse yelling at everyone and fullfilling their prophecies. The prohecy was actually self-fulfilling; it is these same players who have themselves spent the entire match doing just that: whining and flaming and complaining. When Paul O, who I consider a friend, joins the chat he immediatly assumes that DSB shit talkers are at it again, and does so by talking shit himself:
PaulOakenf> oh did a DSB guy get here and start talking shit because a bunch of guys that don't base are being beaten by a bunch of guys that BD more times in one week than -final- in their whole existence?
No Paul, that isn't what was happening, but by the amount of shit talking involved I could see why you might think that. Cripple adds:
cripple> i'll bet 5$ less then 1 second when game ends eelam/mouse start trashing -f- and spec chat
cripple> any bets
cripple> trash talkers finally put an end to their saga
Well cripple, as you undoubtably failed to notice, as you you were busy typing YES repeatedly at the time, everyone from Pandora, and -Final-, showed respect by saying gg, as should be the case after any great game so late into the year. We didn't cut off Vehicles head, or instantly dissolve, we got to the semi-finals and were #1 for most of the regular season, it was an accomplishment to be proud of. It was the speccers who continued to trash talk after the game ended, making a great game look ugly. You guys spent the entire match trash talking even as you accused Pandora of doing it. So go ahead, call me fat and dumb, but I just hope that everyone who reads this log and sees their name before something nasty realizes that it is themselves that are doing the dirty work.
