who is then next player most of cc teams up against singe glg has been warned?

My guess it will stay GLG until he is gone.. god knows he is going to continue to set up the same games even after this, so I assume a 2nd warning will be coming right up!

I think that the community has to be pushed pretty far for anything like that to happen.

But I'm thinking it will be when :

--The next time someone comes along and takes advantage of players 6 or seven ranks below him repeatedly to exploit the 5 or 6 points they are worth to them to get to the top spot on the scoreboard.

--The next time they then smugly walk around the forums and live chat bragging about it to all who will hear while justifying it with outlandish analogies while the mods grit their teeth and the Admins do nothing even though it makes the whole site lose vast amounts of credibility.

-- The next time the community gets so fed up with the Admins inaction that they feel they have to be the one's to make things right by speaking up, and speaking loud, and speaking often about the gross abuses heaped upon the spirit of FAIR PLAY until some action is taken.

-- The next time it's recognized that the actions of those who exploit loopholes without any moral regard to fair play and integrity are an insult to the top 20-30 players who try to gain and maintain rank in a fair and competitive setting with a level playing field.

-- The next time a group of us get tired of watching those who are inexperienced and vulnerable getting coaxed and led to the slaughter under the false and thin pretext of "lessons" or "education" or the unbelievably arrogant "Honor" of playing against a "Leet"


Your parents never taught you to stand up for those weaker than yourself Kyle?
To stand up and right wrongs?
To take a stand when you see some one getting exploited?
To take action against elements in your community that cheapen or degrade it....and that make it less that what it was?

Pity.

This is all spelling, why would you need to go against his grammar?

Correction:

Who is then next player most of CC teams up against sincge GLG has been warned?

Without corrective markup:

Who is the next player most of CC teams up against since GLG has been warned?

This is fine, but if you want to go grammar nazi on him, you might add:

Who is the next player that most of CC teams up against since GLG has been warned?

But over than that, all you got on him is spelling.

According to Jane Straus, author of The Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation, issues of capitalization fall under the category of grammar.

Alright so there was grammar errors as well. Nice catch. But it seemed to be more of a spelling mistake than anything.

I'd like to start a grass roots campaign against people* who complain about spelling and grammar on silly internet forums.

(But please note, I ran a double spell check and made redline edits to that last comment before I posted it.)

Don't get me started "Siedshow." I'll release an army of shieldgenerator's my little ponies, who will be happy2seeyou dead.

Too punny? I'll stop now.

According to Mr. Milani, it falls under the category of laziness!

Cant?? So you're suggesting my English is that bad I find it impossible to capitalise?

On that note i have always wondered why the computer keyboard does not auto-correct a single lowercase "i" to a capital..

Either way - That's not really something to pull up on is it? Good grammar is a must I agree, yet I have never seen the point in capitalising the pronoun "i", it has no logical bearing to the "Rulebook" per se the English language follows...

Getting back to the original topic of this thread, I think that the CC community should team up against jpeter15. I'm not entirely unconvinced he isn't a multi of the previously shunned Dancing Mustard. Sure, on the surface he appears to be spick and span. Good player, quiet yet polite, something about living in "Poland" ...

But I suspect that darker forces are at work. His quiet demeanor might be construed as smug -- nay -- evil. In conclusion, I strongly suspect that Colonel/Brigadier Jpeter15 is the reincarnation of the revered Dancing Mustard.

And yes, I'd like to start a grass roots campaign to prove this.

PS: Bounty on Jpeter15. PM me with game #s where you have eliminated him and I'll send you flowers.

But what if it's a "Spelling and Grammar" internet forum? Do you still stand by your argument?


PS: "Way of topic" ... pfffffffffffffffffffffffft!!!!

I must say that discussing the spelling and grammar of the OP is ALWAYS on topic. Welcome to the forums, kylegraves.
