Ok, you know I didn't create this thread with intentions of certain people trolling it with offline bullshit or judging online players, so please. If that's your intentions, stay out of this thread. I've been told to stay out of offline topics until I go, so it should be no different for those who feel the need to bash online players or this thread...I really don't care about that, nor is it an option.
So you've been too busy every Thursday for the past year to come to VSM at least once? As well as the numerous local tournaments in the NYC area?
As a matter of fact yes, I've been busy following up on school classes, speaking to college counslers about what's best for me, seeing what's best for me, seeking a good steady job(because the economy is so great now) for a while now in fact, I also help out my family a lot. Father has a bad back and is diabetic, Folks aren't exactly young people, just got involved with this chick so yeah...I'd say that having a life and having to take care of priorities is a good reason to not attend every offline event for MK...am I supposed to drop all of that to play MK with some guys who don't even like me no less? I'm not naive I know who talks shit about me and who doesn't.
Maybe if they have something in NYC perhaps? When was the last tourney in NYC? lol And I don't exactly see your name in every offline event so hypocritical much?
This is why some people here say you guys have this "elitist" attitude, because it really comes off that way. Besides, I've been to two offline events in NYC, Staten Island that's apart of NYC last time I checked, I mentioned the ladder one but nobody cared at the time...all well. 30 man tourney, winner/loser brackets, hundred dollar money prizes...easy money. So it's not like I've never played the game offline, I've done so for hours against my friend first month and been to a few local events/tourneys near by. I don't drive so how do you expect me to get to LI again? Also, for now on like juggernaut, I must ask why do you care so much what I do? You hate online play correct yet you have the time to post in this thread?
Well that's because most of the choices are meaningless online shit. And I clearly said "players who are ABLE". It's not relative, it's very black and white. You know, people that are capable of going to a tournament but choose not to. It just makes no sense to me why you would want to stay home and be a bum, that does absolutely nothing to help the community even in the slightest. The only reason you're arguing against that fact is because you're one of those bums.
How is someone having a life a bum exactly? That makes no sense...is that really what you're using for an argument? Just seems like your posts and revolvers more so were just trolling posts because you're bored or whatever reason you felt the need to do so, yet when online people post their thoughts in offline topics they get warnings, told off etc...so what's up with that?
A bum since I knew one personally does nothing with their life..literally, they don't socialize, don't go out, don't work, don't go to school, don't help out, sleep all day 24/7 nothing...now, if you don't have a life outside of MK or choose to being able to attend every offline event more power to you, I don't care, I won't judge anyone so don't judge me please...and besides, calling me a bum is not only inaccurate but isn't a valid point for your argument....that whole "you're a bum" concept is totally irrelevant. I must ask you, for you and revolver if you guys think so little of online A. why do you play or played online? B. Why even post in this thread? But hey dude, if you want to play it like that then I guess I'm no more a "bum" then you are.... lol and you wonder why people don't want to hang with some of you guys, you're so bored you create a video game into pointless drama...I have more important things to worry about.
Lastly, I must ask lol. While I do find it amusing at this point, WHY do you care so much about what I do? lol, I haven't even been on here in two days nearly because I've had to help out my family more this week then usual...what have you been doing? Oh yeah, calling random people bums without knowing anything about them personally? Awesome!
It's just an stupid attitude to have. I mean, just b/c some of us can't afford (me) or have no access to offline competition and tournaments means our opinions don't mean squat? That's ridiculous. A lot of us play this game just as much as offline players, and while some things may work online that don't work offline and vice versa, we know the game and we love it too.
Exactly, it's definitely not a good one to have to attract more people to join the offline fray, if anything it'll do the opposite. It's not like us online people are boasting "online is everything" well at least not me and most people I know, if some douche says that then he's ignorant obviously...I know I can compete if not beat a lot of these guys, but do I have the time or care that much? Hardly. It's almost as if according to some people, "if you're an offline player, your opinion means more then an online player thus you'll be taken more seriously" now call me crazy but to me that sounds very ignorant not to mention arrogant. Some of the best MK9 players are/came from online...nuff said.
