zamboe Posted July 18, 2002 Posted July 18, 2002 I've learned that i must learn something from anything that happens in my life.I've learned that nobody is perfect.I've learned that there are some attitudes more important than others.When i first started playing emperor, I played with a guy called cyrenius, (my nick is harrip0tt and zamboe), i knew already that he had several problems with most of the players, at least that was the only possible conclusion from the old board. So I decided on porpouse to start chating with him, I offered him to enter in his clan, even though I was good enough to enter any other clan (many times i was asked to join other clans).My intention, was like in any similar situation in real life, trying to find out what is going on and see if i can be of any help.I think i know more of Navaros than any of you, i know his name, i know where and how he lives, i know some of his day to day problems, I know enought to tell you that he is not different from any regular dude in my University. ( I've only chated whit him)He might have lot's of defects, but what I value in him is that he is honest, he doesn't lie, and that he is ready to help any1 that asks for it.I still remember the time that he helped me for several hours with english grammatics (i live in a spanish speaking country) trough msn, until 4:00 am in the morning, i remember when he helped me set up and tune up my new sound card, he had to re install his card which took him so long, but he helped me doing so, and so on. I also remember him asking for advices which i was really pleased to provide him, I also remember the few times we played in BC (we lost most of them) since he is not a good player, also the many times i beated him quite fast :) (sorry nav).I also made him change his "ducking policy" which if you remember was very complicated, with reasons and not with puting him down.So, if you really want to show that you are mature, then do it by not puting down any of his posts and his attitues, because : Are you perfect ?, don't you have problems ?, a mature person instead of bashing some1, will try to help (at least in my case), then just if you don't like him , ignore him, that the BEST thing you can do. Because if you still answering to his posts in a bad way, you will do exactly what he wants, and let me tell you that what he wants is not the way to help him. If you have something positive to write then do it (even if he doesn't like it), otherwise if you want to whine him just save your time, because that's the best way to avoid him realize his mistakes.
zamboe Posted July 18, 2002 Author Posted July 18, 2002 I forgot to say that i've learned that people needs help even if they don't ask for it.
undsputed Posted July 18, 2002 Posted July 18, 2002 Hello Zamboe! As you know, I've never been a Nav fan ;D However, I do respect you. Not only are you a very good emperor player, but you give me the impression that your a decent person (despite being in his clan). It's good to see there are people such as yourself online. My thoughts are this. I have nothing against him personally. He has never said anything really bad about me, but we have disagreed at times. I just think he or anyone else shouldn't be surprised when people fire back at him. As Ace said, we do have to learn to work and live with people. In college, working together is something that is taught and required (at least here in US). But if one person causes soo much trouble, groups/communities have ways of handling them...some of them official and some of them not. He treated you nice...probably because your a good player...but I have seen him insult newbs. Just don't be surprised when his efforts produce tough consequences.
Navaros Posted July 18, 2002 Posted July 18, 2002 Oh my goodness, this thread is spam and offtopic, Mods, close and delete this thread as soon as you see it.EDIT in response to Ordos45:I mean everything I said 100%, no sarcasm at all.
ordos45 Posted July 18, 2002 Posted July 18, 2002 Please everyone, try not to let this become a flame war. Yes, some of you do know I am talking to you. Oh and Navaros, I think that's pretty nice sarcasm. :) Don't worry, all threads end up closed eventually, for the most part anyhow.
Marcel71 Posted July 18, 2002 Posted July 18, 2002 "I value in him is that he is honest, he doesn't lie"You shouldn't mix Honesty with being rude!!I am honest too, but i am not rude. Example if somebody is totally louze in the game i say: Maybe you should practice more and get better.For Nav somebody like that is a total moron who can't control his units.But i agree it was nice of him to help u so much ;)
Frodo Posted July 18, 2002 Posted July 18, 2002 ok, not another one of these threads, didn't the mods just delete the last one. Please delete this one also.
