he never replied to mine, not sure about invitations of other players. Not sure if he gets so many invitations that he usually just ignores them, i usually take the time to at least reply and decline if i don´t want to play. I guess farmers prefer to avoid high rank players.

They seem to think points matter. Of course points matter, because they reflect how well you do in the competition. But if you rarely actually compete against challenging opponents, your score stops representing your skill, and becomes worthless.

So again... why do they do it? Here's why: because when they get to the top of the scoreboard, earning most of their points from deadbeat noobs, people notice. And then they get the satisfaction of people complaining about their antics, and they can even tell themselves that everyone's just jealous. It's like a Virtual Reality, where they can pretend that they've made it to the top, and now have to fend off everyone who resents success.

Of course, this only works if we continue to act as if it matters that they're doing what they're doing. Because if what they're doing matters, it's because points matter (whether or not they represent skill), and if points matter (regardless of skill), then the farmers have achieved something.

So, obviously, the only way to knock them to their senses is to admit what we should all know: points are worth sh*t, by themselves. Because while they often represent skill (which is what matters), sometimes they don't. And so, we recognize the skill of those who earned their rank, and that's all that matters. Those who didn't earn their rank, aren't hurting anybody, and are only wasting their own time. They just have a bunch of empty points. So move on.

Just want to clarify: no disrespect meant to King Herpes (the only farmer I know); from what I've seen he's a good guy. I'm only trying to figure out why people (in general) would possibly want to spend their time noob and deadbeat farming. Not really Herpes in particular, but people like Klobber and the other more unpleasant ones that I've run across.

herpes is one of the farmers that can actually play against other skilled players and still win

cant say the same for all of them though...

Didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings by not replying to an invite. I get many a day Seul and Some games just don't rope my interest. I actually do ignore quite a few of them(Because 90% of them are always the same old escalating garbage that just doesn't really appeal). Here's an idea! Try talking with me in a more formal manner and then I'd be more inclined to give it a second thought. Scott-land for example does.

have you seen the field marshal i think all he does is play noobs

Countless times things fall out of my inbox because of gf, brother, clan members, friends, and people trying to contact me for a game or information on how to play etc etc...I lose important pms all the time. I am guilty of not scanning my pm box for days at a time. I do recall the 1 on 1's(both freestyle). I currently do not have a fact connection on my new computer and it would have been a landslide loss. I must have been busy or else I most definitely would have accepted or declined in a polite respectable manner. Do try again Seul because I've heard good things about you as well in team games. I wouldn't want to sour the opportunity of possibly having a great team mate by biting their head off. Also choose your words wisely people. I don't bash noobs. I don't brag about my rank. I actually share information's with them very often if they show respect. Now please, let's keep it cool. If you have something to say about this thread, then shoot. If you'd rather poke and pry at my capabilities then make a new thread. I'd be happy to talk there as well.

Look people. All I'm saying is:

noob dice + noob cards = unhappy field marshal
