Risk Snobbery

[rebelman]

maniac and dragon dor were also missing from that list but you guys never queried them not being on the list - that list was purely responding to the sirius query - it was a seperat post entirely where we said who was on our team.

[RiskTycoon]

then why not just post Siruis ? we let it go because we decided we would keep out mouths shut about it...and sorry you guys took our post too literal that isn't my fault....still looks shady to me....if that list was all about Sirius then why add all the other players and then come here and say you left her out because the list was about Sirius ???? what kind of reasoning is that?? makes no sense ..... you left her off because it was a lie

like i said, you are right i am wrong let it go this thread isn't about us...

[RiskTycoon]

because maniac and the other had the right amount of points why bring something up if it doesn't matter !!!!! that is a waste of typing ...i'm done

i cant access the koe forum anymore - if i could i would find that post unedited at a guess amanda came next and there were another 20 or so players further down the list including yours truly and obviously cena who had made the post in the first place

the post was about sirius not the list, the list was an internal clan post and I posted it as evidence of sirius's score - i actually got in trouble internally for posting that list in the first place as it was seen as confidential clan info) I had confirmed in the post before that, that I had seen Amanda's score above 1600 the previous day and she had posted confirming this in out internal forum (see quote above).

It was not a lie - you are a guy I chat to a lot and someone I have a lot of time for on here along with other members of your clan but it deeply hurts and saddens me that you think I would have lied about this.

Getting back on topic I would much prefer to be known as someone thats a risk snob than someone that lies. I really and truly am hurt by that accusation.

sorry sirius for hijacking this thread but I truly am stunned to learn thats what rt and I'm assuming his clan in general thinks about me. I genuinely had no idea

[Blitzaholic]

ok heres the posts including the one rt referred to which as was said at the time was about sirius not amanda:

I thought we had agreed 1600 plus on the points here.... did I miss something posted in the thread someone set me straight please

I thought we had agreed 1600 plus on the points here.... did I miss something posted in the thread someone set me straight please

yep who has dipped below ?

just checked and i see both sirius and amanda have diped below - at the time this challenge was greed both met the required rank conditions.

lol they only have 1485 ..... I thought they were last in line but it looks like they were second so i suppose they could have dropped but 115 points ! lol wow...ok i'll deal with it lol....well as long as they are in the giving mood i guess lol I'll take some points too

they didn't dip lol they only have 1485 and the game hasn't even started yet ! so they joined like that...sorry I thought they were last in line but it looks like they were second so i suppose they could have dropped but 115 points in a day ! lol wow...ok i'll deal with it lol

I disagree amanda was definitly above 1600 as recently as yesterday.

This is a quote from our private forum from yesterday after this scores issue was raised, and I witnessed her score at the time being above 1600, however I did not take a screen shot.

I've been fighting all day, and I'm happy to say I am now back up above 1600

OMG my sword arm aches now lol

I am now checking out Sirius but we have already indicated dragon dor is our replacement if any of our players dont meet the pts requirement.

Regarding Sirius

we keep track of our members scores on an internal chart that is updated approximately once a week.

The last such chart was posted on October 18 and at that time Sirius met your requirement.

KoE_Sirius Sergeant 1st Class 1605

I just think it shady, when we didn't even agree on game settings and type yet till yesterday and I'm being given this line from October 18th??? if the game types and setting weren't agreed on till yesterday then that is the day the challenge started and people can start joining ....and you know, 25 maybe even 50 points under, we wouldn't care so much, but 115! come on! that's just plain BS.... never should have even thought to join...and with that many players above 1600 !!!! wtf do they even need to play for??! seems shady to me....very shady

OK I posted the October 18th data as that was the most recent I could verify, Sirius himself can confirm when he dropped below, it has already been said that dragon dor is a potential replacement for any of our team that fall below.

As a mark of respect for your rules ,Dragon Dor has been added as a 13th man and will be used to replace any one of our players who falls below 1600.

We do have a large number of players above 1600 but as is obvious by the fact we have not picked some of our majors and captains - our team is picked from the best players available that have the skills necessary to win this challenge. no offence on any of the players involved but picking our team purely based on score would not be our best possible team available which this one now is.

forget it man, it's over and done with, lets just get this over with..

There appears to be some confusion so I will just clarify the following ;

1) 2000 points is the minimum point score for anybody wishing to be considered for membership of our clan.

2) 1600 points is the minimum point score for anybody wishing to challenge us to a game.

3) We are accepting challenges from other clans.

Thats all folks !

Sirius is not challenging you to a game. This is a clan challenge.

secondly I have Sirius down to play in triples and dragon dor in doubles. The other members of sirius' trips team have currently 2191 and 1740 giving a team score of 5416 or an average of 1805 points per player. There if we fielded 3 1800 point players together i guess that wouldn't be a problem, but cc calculates points on the average.... so gentlemen what is the difference?

would that create a solution?

With respect it is I that picks the team, whoever heard of the opposition picking a team.

I believe this to be a fair compromise.

Now can we please get on with it.

sorry folks, no hard feelings, was just caught off guard and surprised......like I said, lets just get back to it and forget it ok? Won't happen again I promise

the above posts from pages 78 - 80 of the horsemen thread show how the query was responded to at the time - both players were above the mark when the challenge began - after some tooing and frowing there inclusion was accepted by all - as i said at the time if they had been below 1600 at the start of the challenge they would have been dropped - we had dragon dor lined up as a reserve if that happened. Amanda was not included on that list as that post was about sirius - i had answered the amanda query in my previous post, based on you r last post above I assumed you had accepted what had happened and were ready to consign it to history, obviously I was mistaken.

rebel, what is your beef with RT? and I cant read that in yellow?

[KoE_Sirius]

rebel, what is your beef with RT? and I cant read that in yellow?

Wave the mouse over it,right click and it turns from yellow to blue.

[rebelman]

rebel, what is your beef with RT? and I cant read that in yellow?

i have no beef with rt, he raised something on this thread that I believed had been sorted and in the past. When I posted a detailed response he accused me of posting lies. I may not be the best player on this site and I have my failings but I don't post lies - up until today I assumed people thought I was an honest contributor around here, however clearly this is not the view of rt and I'm not sure who shares his view.

i agree on the yellow

TY m8--kisses and go post a pic in hot and sexy for me, lol


please your ex-girlfriend look a like of erin will do nice

[RiskTycoon]

^^^^ THis was the guy THOTA were really pissed off about! When we had the KOE vs THOTA clan challenge. So it wasnt really about playing a bad player and not having a challenging match but rather about losing to many points!!

you say that over and over again...it wasn't about points dude...for crying out loud ...understand this....go look at my games i play TONS of public games against anyone who isn't on my ignore list i drop points to cooks all the time but yet i still maintain my rank ..... and i was the one who was pissed the most during that challenge ...... get the facts straight man....it had NOTHING to do with points......

show me where it says i brought that whole scenario up???? WTF rebelman ...don't put words in my mouth.... i said nothing of that situation what so ever and YOU are the one that decided to bring it up ...not me

i was simply responding to Chumley's post dragging us through the mud!

[KoE_Sirius]

Rebel is right about me.I can't speak for Amanda.I met the required score to enter the tourney.Once the tourney was running for a few days I dropped below that score and lots of risk snobs started crying.
Thats my view on it anyway.

sorry for suggesting you were the one that brought this up i was mistaken but you were the one thats accused me of lieing - i followed blitz's advice and walked away from this, but in my innocence I assumed you would withdraw that false allegation - being accused of lieing like this is obviously something I want to defend and refute.

..... you left her off because it was a lie

[hulmey]

yeah RT your the one excusing rebel of lieing and i really think you need to get your facts straight. When the challenge with THOTA was accepted Siruis had over 1600 poits, as did Amanda. I've lost 300 points in 2 days before so i know the feeling! So could you please quit calling rebel a liar. Rebel is well respected here at CC....

The fact still remains that THOTA didnt want to play against a player who's points had dropped below 1600 even after the challenge was accepted. Now on this very day he is a Colonel and has a higher ranking than you RT

[RiskTycoon]

i never called rebelman a lier..... i said IT was a lie...... get over it already... the fact remains you lost...... and i'm happy for Siruis good for him....you point is?

i said it that way on purpose ....

[hulmey]

I will also add as deputy leader of KOE at the time THOTA fielded 2 invalid players. aliabker was one of them because he joined THOTA after the challenege was accepted! KOE did not mention anything but that doesnt mean we didnt know about it. But we play the game of Risk for fun and not arguments!!

[hulmey]

your quote little boy. Now run along :

what i care about is being shady and breaking your word.... that is what made me mad if you must know....

[RiskTycoon]

lol .....you guys never really literally stated it wasn't ok for our new members to play agianst you...guess you should have said that before hand

[rebelman]

everybody please end this now lets get this thread back on topic talking about snobs ok guys.

[AAFitz]

there are no snobs... just players that like to play equal ranks

there, that should help....

[rebelman]

good point AA but you are wrong im afraid this site has several snobs but many actually have relatively low scores

also i have yet to meet my equal so its just as well im not in that category

[KoE_Sirius]

Yes AAFitz...This site is full of Risk Snobs.What you actually said was snobbish in itself lol

[Genghis Khan CA]

Yes AAFitz...This site is full of Risk Snobs.What you actually said was snobbish in itself lol

lol - that doesn't make any sense

There are few on the site who are less snobbish than Fitz...

It is just as 'snobby' to go around telling people who they have to play as it is to choose to play players of similar rank.

This is just a game after all, people should be free to play or not play against whoever they choose to. The important thing is that players have fun. If players derive no enjoyment out of playing against cooks and cadets, or against generals and brigadeers then they shouldn't be looked down on for trying to enjoy themselves!
