I’ve only been a “member” of this club for a few short months and Bitey has done a good job from what I can tell, and allows for people to at least get there opinions out on these forums instead of deleting the stuff before it gets too out of hand. Even from the meetings I’ve been to he puts up with a lot of BS, and wouldn’t even consider walking in his shoes leading this rather dysfunctional community. It’s pretty obvious Kuros, that you are very bitter about something that is between you and Bitey. I personally lead an online gaming community with members from across the North America, and with many members from this university. I too have to put up with a lot of drama and argueing, and I honestly apologize for the *edited* I’ve started, as I did take it a bit too far, and made it a personal vendetta.
As a leader of my community I was personally attacked regarding my personally life as well, and then some jerk hacked my forum and AIM accounts, criminal charges pending, but at the same time a lot of those people I don’t have to see on a daily basis, or ever at all, so I can only imagine how Bitey feels having to see a lot of the people who start *edited* on here on a daily basis and still keep a civil respect towards everyone, about himself.
As for Kip and Nickname, I’m a competitive person, and LANs to me are about playing the best competitive games and beating the best at them. I played High School sports, and even won a State Championship in football and thus thrive on competition. I stated in a prior post about my experience competing world wide in Guild Wars, and that I enjoy PC games casually, however Console is where I go to compete now since I don’t play sports much anymore. I personally think that though the club is both PC and Console gamers, games for the two should be chosen seperately as both groups have more invested in them and play them more seriously. Yes my push for Gunbound was to make a point, but at the same time I had every intention of playing in a GB tourney as well as everyone I suggested vote on it, but from what I’ve seen the PC guys would rather play something else, the same goes for Wii Bowling. Its a fun game don’t get me wrong but where is played on a competitive level and on a public stage outside of our living rooms with friends. Console gamers would rather play CoD4, granted Brenton (not all the console guys) decided to only have 2 FPS’s but he also was the one to nominate it for the Miscellaneous.
Anyways, to those I may have *edited*ed off, get used to it as I do it quite often. But I am sorry for making it somewhat personal. As far as Kuros, get over the past, take from someone that has been through a lot of *edited* in his RL (won’t get into it here, but my friends here know plenty about it), move past it, give people a second chance, and simply let dead dogs lie.
