Are Clans taking Ghost Recon too SERIOUS?

[Blitz]

ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION!
I am asking anyone that reads this if you are in a clan or not if clans are taking playing Ghost Recon too serious.  I believe several clans are, not all, but most.  It brings back the BTs quarrels and Clan Battles that clans have lost and made up some bullshit to try and win it.

Now here is my 2 cents:

When I left MOD, I felt free, I felt like no rules could keep me in!  After time of thinking, I joined X1|.  I joined them because it looked like they are there to have a great time.  Not to worry about losing Clan Battles, but to just have fun!  They keep telling me its a game.  Not a way of life.  We are doing well in the league, as the stand point of being in the top 10.  I am in a lot more Clan Battles than MOD, and I am having more fun chatting with them over Netfone.

I personally believe this.  GhR is a F**KING GAME!  Do not take it so serious that you are being taken away from family, friends, hobbies... etc (except Rapid, he has no family, friends or hobbies... He can't even get any!)

Those are my thoughts, what are yours?

    I AGREE WHOLE HEARTEDLY

[Mr.Mellow]

I dunno, people used to take RS pretty seriously, too. Some people are just more competitive (too competitive) than others.  

[Blitz]

That can work too Mellow.

[BTs_GhostSniper]

I don't personally take Ghost Recon too serious....but people tend to take things I say WAAAAAY too seriously on here....half the time I am just trying to make a joke.  But I do play it too much.....my wife bitches at me non-stop for all the hours I spend playing.....lol

Agreeance level - 100.

Very much so. This can be proven by the recent kafuffle over replay submission.

Blitz, I too really enjoy chatting with my teammates on NF, and am happy that you have finally found a clan with a really good spirit.

Out - J.

There have been about three hundred threads exactly like this. I think I even made one (I'll try to find it right after I post this.) But those never stopped clans from taking ghost recon less seriously. Why should this one?

I guess we just have to learn to deal with it.



Found my old thread.
"This has gotten ridiculous"

[BTs-FahQ2]

I think your post can be taken as well thought, or not thought out enough.  

First and foremost, most of you could never really know how we take our CBs and the battle league.  But let me assure you that 99% of the time we are laughing our asses off.  Shit, some of the time we are drunk off our asses.  

Now there can be 2 reasons behind joining and/or forming a clan.  First you would like to play GHR with a regular set of people and have a good time.  Second, you would like to make the game a bit more fun with some competition.  This is all fine and dandy, but then why are you in the battle league if you are not going to be competitive about it.  I would hope that most clans joined the ladder so that they would win or measure themselves up against others.  If you joined just for the hell of it then what do you expect from people who join competitions to win.  This is what most athletes recongnize as the seperation of champions and Mediocrity.

Now as for losing.  We can accept a loss and like most people that lose there will be bitching.  Outside of the movies you will not find anyone excited and cheering about getting their asses handed to them.

BTW, why bring us up specifically.  I check these forums mainly to see what has been mentioned about us every week now.  The weekly post of the Enquirer featuring BTs.  Is there no doubt that competitiveness is the reason why we do well and won last season.  So, in conclusion, you better believe that we are having a great time and laughing when we beat you.  This I can guarantee.

Blitz0 your right...

We take this game so seriously i make my troops run up a flight of steps before every cb...Also i tend to play the theme song of Rocky over netfone right before the game starts and yell out ADRIAAAAAAAAAAAAN.


Anyone up for a CB? I got the the theme song all cued up.....

[BTs_eight]

ADRIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!

This is my recent tryout with Pop Idols... Wish me luck !

Wow Blitz,

Why do runners run? Why do football players play football? Why do Rock Climbers climb? Well its for the love of the sport. Now Why do we have Olympics, Super-bowls or even the World Cup? Competition, yeah thats right, competition. Why do we have a battle league if you don't what competition? My advise is to not play if you don't like competition. As for me, I like to play and play competitively, maybe cause this is the only thing I pretty good at. Yes I rock climb, yes I fly fish, yes I mountain bike, yes I climb mountains and hike. I do a lot of other things besides play video games, but I think I'm pretty good at it so I like to be competitive at this. This is why Im in a clan that likes to CB. So please, if you don't want to be competitive, don't play in the Battle League. I am not a very good runner but I still run races, do I win.. no, but I still have fun. So if you want to have some fun and be a little competitive.. I really hope to see you in some games. And yes Fah is right, most of the time when we play we are laughing and joking around except when we think people are cheating,  then things get  a little more serious. We don't like cheaters/glitchers. If you glitch unintentionally then .. no worries we are willing to redo that game. BTs_ always tries to be fair about cbs, so lets have some fun........

[Brain]

hm... well, i personally think that i am going to be damn near one of the most competitive people that you will ever meet on gr, especially in a cb.  but i am more than willing to  laugh. just ask god or sploosh about what can happen in the last 30 seconds of a round. (i might add that we ended up losing that cb as well, but were still laughing our asses off)  i know that it seems like very single cb is showing up for admin review, but it's not.  what you're complaining about is something on the order of 1% of what is really going on.

on another note, that's really you 8?
i feel sorry for you getting laughed at like that

and if this seems incoherent or babbling, it's because i haven't had my coffee yet

[SignTist]

HI!

   Thanks for your input Blitz... but I like to take this KINDA seriously.  But since you chose to bring up how we like to take things seriously because we want it to played FAIRLY... then let me bring up a couple points about YOU.


  You are a dick to people that don't deserve it, and I've brought it to the attention of your members, and it seems that it doesn't help. How's this, when you become relatively respectful to people, unless they TRULY deserve it... then I won't take the game so seriously. CHILL OUT.

Everyone has their hobbies Blitz. It is a game, and some people like to win at games, if you haven't noticed. I don't take it all that serious unless I'm playing a CB. When I first started with DEA, I took it very seriously. Just enjoy the game, who cares how you do it.

[BTs_eight]

Yeah and you should really get off our dicks....
Must we be the center of your universe?

[Blitz]

I am sorry to inform BTs to this thread.  I am sorry for "any emotional" discomfort.  It was the only way to get my point out. Trust me, I do not demean BTs or MOD.  Like I said, it was the only way to get my point out.

To admins, fill free to lock the thread.

Blitz you crack me up. If i had no life and time to spare then i might write somthing properly. but hey.

MOD is very happy now ty. we don't have a member bitching and complaining and insulting the other members of the clan. Not to mention the shit that this guy came up with.

Seriously? Im sorry who was the guy freaking out all the time? Who was the guy trying to push his 'rank' about and rules and such like? funny that blitz

I like playing when i play. If we play in a game we play to win. thats the aim of the game of course not as inportant as enjoying yourself but winning is the goal. Lol we just couldn't do either of those with you, niether win or enjoy ourselves.

To be honest mate i just havn't got the time

Ps. you send our guys sound files with a computer voice saying how you used to "own all the MOD guys".... Well sunny jim you probably couldn't have beaten the weakest of our guys with his eyes shut, all four limbs blown off, and me singing god save the queen down netfone at him while he's trying to play.

Perhaps i should post some of the threads you put on the MOD forum blitz? that would be amusing.

have a nice day

[AK_Rap1d]

I personally believe this.  GhR is a F**KING GAME!  Do not take it so serious that you are being taken away from family, friends, hobbies... etc (except Rapid, he has no family, friends or hobbies... He can't even get any!)

Why would anybody get mad at somebody else badmouthing them?  Hmmmm...

I have fun shooting noobs with big mouths such as yourself blitchz  

Only thing me and my clan have taken seriously, are people trying to cheat us.  No need for me to just sit there and be like "It's cool that you lied about having SS of last game where it shows your clan winning.  Instead of bringing up the issue and "bitching" about it, we'll just let you have the win".  Now why in the fuck would we do that?

Newbies such as yourself, need to drop the stereotyping of other clans.  That helps all clans get along.  Not lil 13 year old idiots like yourself, coming in here flaming up like the flamer you are... [/size]

[BTs_Mysterio]

I don't personally take Ghost Recon too serious....but people tend to take things I say WAAAAAY too seriously on here....half the time I am just trying to make a joke.

Key word is trying. Keep on trying there...

Sorry for the lateness of this mockery but I just read what he said and had to say that. I agree that some people do take this too seriously. Look at what BFG just wrote. If he was trying to prove he isn't serious about stuff, that was really the wrong way to do it. SO far in that post he:

• Cursed
• Used public nudity
• Insulted him by saying he was a bad player
• Insulted the UK
• And threatend him with blackmail

Serious lil' fuck.  

P.S. Yes I do know I am funny
