Are we still bothering to weed out vets with newb tags?

[raumvogel]

I know a vet when I see one,by his flying and his actions.It doesn't really matter,because there are so many vets flying with newbie tags that we might just as well eliminate tags anyways.Sorry I bothered to post.

Entire thread reminds me of Chief Wiggums from the Simpsons "nothing to see hear move along"

Do not apologize. Are things getting chaotic? If so, why are people so blaze about it? Great for the vets playing hide and seek with each other. It's not so much fun for newbies.

I love how this topic was made Fizz. It really makes me feel good about myself, not to mention how you completely put words in my mouth. I never said that because I don't play often, I DESERVE my (0) rank. If I don't play often, how can I have anything more?

The story goes: We had an open game, and Fizz joined our team. Towards the end, I got heated, and he took what ever nonsense I said weirdly personal. After that, he decided he'd be clever and call me out for being a vet with a newb rank.

Although I never said I was a veteran, or pro by any stretch of the imagination, I did say that I do have skills; I'm probably around a (4) or (5). Why is it my fault that my rank drops from me being inactive on the main, and when I want to play a small game with my friend Elzam, I get threatened with a ban? Am I supposed to postpone any game I want to play on the side, and work for hours to get back to a (5)? Please.

Hey now

Your a zero embrace it. You dropped from a four to a zero because inflated ranks (artifically adjusting it simply based on a single criteria) went bye bye. Also you need to fly in a game with at least xx people in per side for it to count. It stops rank pumping or "working" your rank up. Just fly and have fun the rank will take care of itself. Go to the wiki and look up AllegSkills if your curious.

Any of us who have been around a long time can tell within 30 seconds of game action if you're a real new player or someone who has made a new account. So if your a zero and fly like a vet then people are going to call you on it. Claiming it out of a fit of rage then *meh* but we'll be watching now

I was very impressed by your ability to fight while we were out classed(like a vet),then(just like a vet) you bitched about how I should be booted for posting a resign after we had lost 2 tech bases back to back, a tp, and a few other items.This kind of behavior isn't typical of a (0) or a (5).It's typical of a Fedman or a Gunzz22( of whom I'm sure you know NOTHING about),but don't worry,no one seems to care anymore about returning vets with (0)'s ,so you should be fine.
I'm sorry I tried to help you guys by joining when you were obvilosly getting your ass handed to you,I won't make that mistake again.Just another example of why "anti-stacking" is useless.I'm sure SubZero would have rather I didn't join.Less work for his team.
