Mag extension, 065'ers and naggers: A social commentary

[Powder Keg]

The moment a leader board is implemented in a game where team work supposedly comes first, is the exact moment where the game stops being "fun" and starts becoming a chore.

Teamwork has 0 to do with the leaderboard. The totaly kill count, however does.


No one is forced to do anything. Spread Needle = overrated. I know everyone is different, but seriously there's a point where games can be taken too seriously, and this is it.

Lurk moar? Did I miss the memo telling me its hypocrisy day or is this some elaborate joke where a dude with 7 posts (hence a lurker) hilariously tells another to "lurk moar" before excreting faeces through his finger tips? Basically, what you've said in your post has already been established in the OP.

To TheFonz,

Shut the fuck up and stop whining.... if you had been denied a service for which you had payed you would have complained too.

About the new leader board, if its such a chore to be on the list then don't try to be on it. Do you even use shotguns or do you just want to sell it? Cause you could make real money if you get a job. All those hours that you painfully spent to be on the leader board could have earned you decent money or a fine looking girl.

Go ahead and get a second spread. I'll just keep playing psu when ever I have time or feel like it.

Did your eyes seriously pop out your face the moment you clicked on this thread? Because I can't think of any other explanation (other than your mother having bleach as opposed to milk in her tits) as to how you missed the first fucking line of my original post.

You pretty much proved my bloody point with your sympathy for 065'ers. This isn't about crying over an extension, or whining about how we can't shit all over the unfortunate folk who couldn't even play this bleddy game, it's the complete polar fucking opposite. What you just said in your post is actually in agreement with everything I've said.

Right now I'm convinced, this board is actually called the Dead Retard: Society, the term "dead" being an emphasis to describe brain activity.

Total Kill count has barely anything to do with teamwork. Everyone can essentially solo rank C, thus negating the whole aspect of "team work" and yet we'd still manage get the necessary kills to reach our goals. And this isn't about Sega or anyone else forcing us to do anything, the whole point is how people are forcing themselves to remain on the leader board (or the number 1 spot) and then whining when Sega extended MAG, because they thought they'd have to work for longer.

Its about those whiners who couldn't give a shit about 065'ers or anyone but themselves. It's a bloody social commentary to how this whole leader board debacle has resulted in people whining and turning the whole game into a chore. They're getting competitive by working alone and killing this team work aspect, and then whining because 500 more people (who couldn't play the fucking game in the first place) now have a shot to get a Needle, something they worked "oh so hard" to get.

FUUUUUUUUUUCCKKK!!!!

Ahh thats better.

Whoo hoo, another BAAAAAAAAAAWW fest.

Did everybody but me like, not real half of the OP? >_>;

I knew how they'd be when Chill first flirted about them. I knew which people would be on it, and I knew what lengths some people would take it to. I even told the people straight they'd be miserable and hate the event after a week. I'm sure there are exceptions, but I was right for the most part. Heck, even I am tired of the event, and I could barely get half of 500's kill count if you combined ALL of my characters' kill counts. Should this be implemented again? To be honest, I don't care. I didn't take place in this leaderboard, and I wouldn't take place in another one. If people want one and want to go through the trouble of getting on one, it doesn't bother me if they get it. However, I will say it'd be nice for them to make it so the next one has more to it than "omg kill everything" or "omg kill everything fast." You know, like by race, level, class, and gender.

What the hell? Forced to work hard?

There's two things wrong with that statement. One, you're not forced, so quit crying. Two, games != hard work. You want hard work? Go tear down your car and put it back together again, down to every last nut and bolt. Next person who says games are hard work is gettin shot in the freaking head.

Lol, post count battle.

Total killcount is everyone's kills...so the more of us who kill enemies (whether soloing or not) is helping the entire community. Explain how that isn't teamwork.

065'ers should have shut up and took their rape like men.
