Come to think of it, Fwiffo shares most traits with Dengaroth.
Not enough balls to speak on mumble/ts so just records things and gives it to his squad/enforcement to try to get people banned
not enough balls to speak to anyone but newbs in-game and just logs chats and gets people banned over nonsense while he ignores anyone who ever disagrees with him and instructs all new players to do the same
establishing bad habits and misinformation with new players
fwiffo is creating an army of dengaroths
...i wonder if he also enjoys LARPing?

Personally most newbs and most others dislike that constant acrimony in the community, to say nothing of the outright hate. Understanding that people disagree is fair enough, but listening to people scream murder at each other for slights years past is insane.
Which reminds me, the lobster bisque at Red Lobsterâ„¢ is pretty darn good. Remember, hate is good, but you have to move on occasionally so you can hate someone else in newer, better ways.
I like fwiffo. No one is perfect, but we try, and we learn.

To ignore anyone who disagrees with you on strategic and tactical things, and to train others to do the same, is foolish and dangerous no matter how you look it.
Training people to not think for themselves is terrible.

The root of incompetence falls on the non-existent @Alleg brigade, offline players retaining some sort of power, slow inadequate response to ROC, and some bureaucratically exposed bull@#(! created by players wanting to stay on the leaderboard, forum posters that have not played for years somehow having a big effect on cores and how things are ran, among other things.
If you want this game to stay alive, clean up the house. This place is for Allegiance players, and even if we are almost like brothers, decision have to be made, and more power to those of us that actually spend time sitting there yelling at our screens, not the forum crusaders

Pretty much the game is run by those who don't actually play. I mean I can't complain about the people that pay for stuff, but as for everyone else...
you should be required to have a certain amount of hours played per month to be allowed to continue posting on the forum anywhere outside of off-topic or your squad forum
and even moreso hours played if you're going to post in a core dev forum

tru dat. Caddy and spidey were the last two zls who actually played the game that i remember. I think clay too, but that was an even longer time ago. AFK leaders choosing afk leaders should be no surprise to anyone.

Anyways, I'm kind of getting off-topic.
I won't ever say that training people is not a chore. Because it is. I don't think Fwiffo intentionally sabotages the game or anything like that, he does what he think is right as far as the newb influx goes.
I do think that the combination of @alleg, @AFS, and being in @sysx for their winning streak has caused him to basically turn into a loudmouth idiot, when historically (when in BS) he seemed to be a quite idiot, and those are a lot more acceptable.
The @allegs serve no real purpose
It gives them the ability to stay on a newb server without getting autobanned (newb servers are never used)
they do not make any attempt to identify fake newbs vs real ones (it only did happen a couple times recently as a result of me kicking MrC in the balls and then him in turn kicking everyone else in the balls)
they do not ban people who ought to be banned when they ought to be banned (clint, unclebuck, fufi) and let those who are destructive to the game run rampant
and them existing disallows anyone from virtually ever lobby banning, ever, (because fwiffo is always online) without being banned. this makes sense conceptually assuming the @allegs ban people when they should be banned. they do not.
The ability to boot is the most educational tool that exists in the game. Us (especially me) being unable to boot the people that ought to be booted promotes terrible gameplay and discourages vets from staying
furthermore the constant int nerfing crusade by those who don't play the game also discourages vets from staying
that's it in a nutshell and it's really not hard to wrap your head around

It's easy for people to pull the "he's a troll" "he's a racist" "he's a whatever" cards when someone has anything radical to say, in order to kill their credibility - even when they are right about everything (like Ron Paul)
There's a reason I rarely devote the effort to actually be diplomatic and politically correct during discussions and it's because it's a completely wasted effort
People choose to be ignoramuses and will continue to be so regardless of if I'm trolling or being serious
and historically it's always an eventuality that I'm proven right about everything I say except people always lie/hide things/change the subject so I never get credit for anything
and anyone in positions to change anything will always ignore anyone who doesn't share their point of view
So I mostly choose to just be as offensive and politically incorrect as possible because it makes for better lulz and there's no point in me actually trying to do anything beneficial because I'm stonewalled
so in conclusion
fwiffo is a dumb asian blah blah blah
that's my argument
I win

Honestly some of you need to get off your glorified "Genius" clouds and have the integrity to actually listen when someone is making a valid point. If you didn't know arithmetic and Hitler stated 2+2: 4, you would in turn disagree because you give face value without judging the claim itself, it is basic psychology: Divorce the author from the statement.
Yes Metz doesn't exactly have a good history but he is making some good points, instead most of you decide to skip below and read the commentaries and begin to pop smartass remarks, thinking that he is not worth your time, when in reality you are not worth @#(!.
You sicken me by being so damn reclusive when facts are cock-slapping you in the face. Ergo the only way things will change is when we leave, just as many have already and this game falls into the cemetery of memory lane.
Good day, fags.
