I Am Calling You Two Out.

[FinalBoss_FGC]

Then there are those that don't. Stop trying to be so damn edgy, Crusty.

Secondly: all of you knock this crap off.

If it's cringe-like to you, that's cool. You're allowed to feel that way. Just don't try and make someone feel like they did something wrong because your OPINION is different.

Don't like it? Suck it up.

Counter-intuitive when you guys openly and willing allow people to slam tier lists and other things based solely on opinion.

IMHO This video goes beyond opinion. its objectively terrible.
What if I posted a video of a tiger pooping in the woods and said it was a "hype Kintaro video"
and everyone said it was dumb. Then a bunch of devils advocates started defending it saying that the video was fine and everyone who said otherwise had an "opinion".

Bad content needs to be received badly. Otherwise people won't learn from their mistakes.

 

[CrazyFingers]

Holy shit show batman. Listen, Box is a big boy who has handled stuff worse than a couple of edgy posters on a forum. Relax, let him stand up for himself because he certainly doesn't need others to do it, he's capable. A bit weird but capable.

It's not as much about boxy and more about these people who have no consideration for others thread after thread. Then when they're nicely corrected they reply with nonsense like what silverrye just said. If I were a mod I'd be handing out infractions like business cards, it's way too lenient around here.

Okay which one is it because when we have half the people saying we're Nazi mods and half the people saying Regulate more IT GETS REAL DAMN HARD TO DO OUR JOB WHILE TRYING TO ACCOMMODATE YOU GUYS.

I have a few names in mind but I won't name them because they haven't done much recently. In general though, unconstructive posts that come off as put downs to users who clearly haven't done anything to deserve it happen a lot. Infractions would be harsh but more warnings should be going out at least on those types of posts, especially since they're liable to start arguments and often do.

I am not going to censor people because they're hurting someone's feeling by simply stating their opinion. I will lose my position as Mod before I do that.

That's not what I'm asking for. I'm saying if it's someone's intention to hurt someone else or if it can be reasonably inferred with common sense that it's their intention and there's no justification for it, then it's time for a warning. First a written one, then a notification if necessary. That's the same rule you guys go by now, you're just letting things go by that shouldn't in my opinion. Eldriken did a good job earlier for example.

 

[Lt. Boxy Angelman]

My efforts to challenge my MK9 heroes/cohorts has devolved into a debate into whether or not my efforts are either pointless or painfully pointless.

...yeah, that's about what I expected.

On the one hand, I get it.
On the other hand, its only objective, its ONLY reason to exist, is to challenge Brady and Reo.
So how bad or good could it realistically be to anyone other than the parties involved?
I made it pretty substantially clear that the only ones it needs to matter to are the two of them.
Everything else is a sea of opinion and psychobabble.

I know what I'm getting myself into.
Alexa Bliss could create an account, call me the ugliest potato ever harvested and tell me to light myself on fire.
It wouldn't matter. I might cry, but it wouldn't matter.

Does anyone else have any better ideas?
Are any among you who would sleight my efforts even TRYING to be proactive or make anything new happen?
Probably not. Not that I blame you, because it's a fucking test of ones soul to try and dig for hype in this community.
No shit it isn't all that astounding an effort yet. Until the point comes that one or both of them take it upon themselves to deliver an answer, it's just me and Wolf Hat against a world that's likely going to do everything it can to make me give up on this plan. No different than any other day.
But I am not giving up.
I'm a Kombatant, an artist, a lunatic, and a stubborn prick to boot.
Get on the Box Train or don't. It chugs on into infinity no matter what.

This needs higher stakes. Anybody can throw down a hundred dollars to fulfill their boyhood dream. Ye say you lost your smile years ago, yet ye somehow believe you're entitled to a title shot against the Two Man Power Trip? Raise the stakes! If ye lose, superglue that wolf hat to your head for a month and do a daily vlog. If ye win, may glory be your spoils!

P.S Ye remind me more of Chris Chetti.

I'll give them both whatever stakes they want. I just want the fight.
Also, I will take Chris Chetti as one of the better compliments I've gotten in a while.
(Downside of getting old - next to no one remembers the hype and fury of the ECW I'm trying to conjure up. This would be so much more hype if it was 2005 )

[Cashual]

I just hope the 3 way ladder match goes down now. I've done a 180 on this.

Also, I think the mods do a pretty good job around here. I honestly think forums and message boards should be fairly no holds barred. If you can't handle a sometimes heated, possibly disrespectful comment on the internet now and again, I think the problem lies with the offended personally. Overly moderated and cyber nannied forums are not fun places.

Lmao why doesn't this have more likes?

 

[Son ov Timett]

Lt and Senor Hat, do you have room for one more in this Philly Street Fight? Why not give C.C Punk (The first C stands for Crusty) an opportunity to make it to the pay window baaabaaaaaay. Make this a Fatal Four Way! He would be the Barry Horowitz of the fold, but surely he could use the rub. If it weren't for his blatant disrespect for your heart felt video that touched my soul with an impact tantamount to Paul Bearer opening a golden urn, I would have never known Barry's name. Send the juggalo back to ICW with Shaggy 2 Dope. Then and only then can this 3way dance be signed.

I 100% agree. Don't jump in the soup if you don't have the skin for it.

And thank you. At least I have one convert to my credit.

Weaving wrestling and fighting games together is a solid plan that already has plenty of precedent.
Look at the stuff that's happened with Xavier Woods and Kenny Omega. The foundation is there.
I'm surprised to a degree that stuff like this hasn't been done yet, but I guess it depends on the base of the game in question.
Or more specifically, the base of players belonging to it.
I've been trying to start a fire like this for years...it never gets anywhere.
I've been calling out Brady since like 2013. Always wanted to fight him.
Reo makes sense because he and Tom are pretty much the Batman and Robin of MK.
I've been trying to formulate my own MK-based Box brainchild of a match for even longer. Years.
It's hard to get a decent idea off the ground when the community itself is impossible to please.
I love TYM, but I wouldn't know what to do to hype up an MKX crowd if you beamed the instruction into my brain.
Hence why I made the challenge for IG2. EVERYTHING is gonna be new and OD, beta head start or not.

Habit. Normally it would be a joint, but toking on camera is not the most professional thing to do.

Ill play you but im broke so ill just accept money and not bet any


But fr ill play snyone here because I want to keep the game breathing

The moment my tax money shows up, I'm getting a new PS4 and getting back online.
I wanna fight everybody.
Anyone who wants proof I'm worth this fight, see me and I'll prove it.
Because I have a feeling it's gonna be a long time before this actually takes fruition.
But that's okay, because it's all more time to get better.
Shit, we can do it at NEC and spend the whole year collecting scalps leading up to it.
Or we can do it at CEO and I can have an excuse to go to Florida.
This is my Ivan Dragov. My Ivan Ooze. My Every Villain Is Lemons.
My goal to pursue, and destroy everything in my path on my way to obtaining it.

It's gonna be a good year.

FUCK YEAH I LOVE LEATHERFACE MIRRORS <3

No, really. Probably my favorite MU's in the game.
It's just fun watching two maniacs swinging chainsaws at each other.

 

[SM StarGazer]

Yeah thats right call anyone out. I'm tasking ALL Supergirl, Dr. Fate, Spawn, and Firestorm mains to BODY anyone whom dares challenge us.

And I'm tasking all B-list and below players to LEVEL UP and shutdown our so called Best Players. I wanna see upsets and pop offs. Lord knows if I could travel to events more I'd be talking shit to EVERYONE who even sits near me. Just to get bodied so I can talk even more shit about how Godlike my defeats are....

Thats called being unstoppable.

THAT'S WHAT I'M FUCKING TALKING ABOUT

THAT RIGHT UP THERE
WHY THE FUCK DON'T MORE OF YOU HAVE THAT?

Okay, so facts:
MKX is still very much alive.
Many, including myself no matter how much I miss Balanced EX RK armor, would say that this incarnation of the game is the best/most fun it's been.
Fucking INJUSTICE 1, four years old, people still playing it/labbing it/keeping up on it.
I know I'm probably gonna be playing just as much IG1 as MKX until May. Hells yeah.
So why is it that seemingly the only fucking person to be found throughout the sprawl of our community with a devout, determined, delusional urge to fuel the FUCK out of the fire and turn on their fight music is the crazy robot guy with the Wolf Hat?
I don't just wanna know where Brady and Reo are, I want to know where more like minded spirits like StarGazer who love the gladiator arena side of battle; that want to make the battlefield bigger and brutalize anyone who happens to be occupying it.

How many of you have actually heard of The Night The Line Was Crossed?
Any ECW OG's or anything of the sort?
You know how much crazy never been heard of before shit was in the air at the time that match went down?

Lemme give y'all a history lesson...Shane Douglas (played by Tom Brady) had just basically told the NWA to go fuck itself by throwing down their World Title and proclaiming himself the first ever Extreme Championship Wrestling World Champion after beating 2 Cold Scorpio in a tournament final for the strap.
Terry Funk (played by Reo) wanted to put ECW on his back and get them over any/every way he could. The crowd LOVED Terry Funk because he was a proven completely fucking crazy OG who put on great matches with anyone and would kill himself to get a match over.
And Sabu (played by yours truly) was a scarred up, high-flying, table destroying descendant of the Original Sheik. He never saw a fight or bump or roll of barbed wire in his life that scared him. A wild card in every imaginable sense of the world.
So Paul Heyman did something unheard of at the time; as the angle played out, he would eventually turn all three of them on each other.
Triple threats/three way eliminations were all but nonexistent at the time, and the angle already had a LOT of heat because it turned out that, while the NWA thought the whole "Hey, fuck your belt, we don't need you" bit was part of a gimmick, Shane/Heyman/ECW were all very much 100% serious about Eastern Championship Wrestling (their original name) leaving the NWA and going solo. So on top of all eyes being on the promotion for burning the NWA like napalm in the morning, they doubled down by putting their new belt up for grabs in a super ultra rare at the time style of main event.

Three guys.
Loud and brash champ.
Popular, proven veteran.
Insane, passionate warrior.
In never before heard of circumstances.

Science.

Counter-intuitive when you guys openly and willing allow people to slam tier lists and other things based solely on opinion.

"I want to post tier lists, but I don't want to allow anyone else to have an opinion or disagree".

Sounds a little bit like our President right now

Tier lists by definition are opinions, and are highly subjective. If you need a mod to hold your hand (on a Mortal Kombat forum, no less) so that no one disagrees with your Unimpeachable Tier List of The Decade then TYM probably isn't the right place to be posting it.

Sensitive and care too much what other people think? Public forums aren't a great place to declare your opinions.

That said, I try to keep people from going excessively nasty with threats and name-calling, etc. There has to be some baseline of sanity. But if you can't handle someone just disagreeing with your highly personal tier list which you've posted as fact 3 months into a game, that's on you.

 

[That__John__Guy]

I could be wrong, but wasn't there a time where a guy nobody had really heard of called out Sonic Fox for $0? The salt runneth thick on that one. The community was up in arms. From what I remember, Sonic played the guy, and even though Sonic hosed him, it turned out the guy was pretty good and got accepted into the community.

Sure, you can say there's a little bit of "look at me" with the video and everything, but ponying up $100, not going for the #1 player, and saying he's studied these particular players whom he respects, that all seems far more polite and acceptable to me. Of course, it is up to Tom and REO whether they feel like doing it, no one is required to accept every challenge, but does the community really want to discourage this particular kind of challenge? If some guy came on here and respectfully challenged Dizzy or Scar to a match for $1,000 should we immediately insult that man's family?

I would also think Tom is not one to be dismissed. I remember a few months after IGAU came out, Tom was flown out to San Diego Comic Con or something. Regular people were allowed to play him and if you could beat Tom you'd get a free Xbox or PS3. Well, no one got a free Xbox or PS3 that day. Tom ran the lines.

Look at it this way, even if you think that Tom might "only" be the 500th best NRS player in the world (not good enough to place in the current tournament scene), well out of 5 million copies sold, that'd mean he's "only" in the top .0001% of NRS fighters. Kind of the way any NBA player, no matter how bad people might talk about him, is still going to crush 99.9999% of the people out there in 1v1.
