Well, I ~thought~ I saw this thread here earlier, but its not here (I must be thinking of the similar one on Just Games), so I shall post here.

I'll start off with mine, you share yours. For me, it would have to be my 3-2 come-from-behind victory over some guy I met in #ev3. He was up 2 games to none, then I won 3 in a row. In many of them I missed death by just a few seconds.

Surely you guys can top that...

Whipping moki. Multiple times straight. Then I found out someone screwed up the handicap in my favour, plus he was semi-plastered with four beers.

Okay, maybe that's not the best event to use. I'll just say that beating most of the other testers at one point or another is satisfying enough.

Matt Walicke beating out some random newbie for a pop-pop license code at Mac World.

My best experience was last night however, when a certain individual named Synotic posted a M+ game on the tracker that read 'come on LOSERS'. I played him. He messaged me once saying 'READY TO LOSE??" I said nothing, and calmly beat him in three straight games. When the third game was over, he disconnected rather than talk to me. Later that night, Chamrin, AAAPlayer, and CptTripps also beat him, and he disconnected at end of their games as well rather than own up and eat crow.

Ah, no satisfaction like putting cocky little ****s in their place.

I have seen several games where if my opponent didn't loose, I would have lost because there was no way I could clear all the bricks!!

The close ones are always the best. Reduced to using the magnet after every 2 or three hits, hugging the line, it is very satisfying to see my opponent slip over.

Actually I've seen a number of games that looked like ties but apparently i won because i slipped over an instant after my opponent. If we are both the same pop you can't tell who won till the chat pops up.

Ah, another one. Played this Synotic again. I lost the first time 3 to 2, and we had a little chat after the game. He basically said that there isn't any point to playing something unless you can be the best at it.

:eek:

Uhhh, right.

Then he went on to making some very snide remarks about my playing skills. A very intelligent person to be sure, but also very deluded. I had to beat him. Since he wouldn't play me as Pikeman again to be sure, I changed my name and calmly beat him in three straight games once again.

Watch out for this Synotic. He's pretty good... but he also has a horrible attitude, and is quite the cocky little bastard. So when you beat him, make sure to remind him that his little '112 UNDEFEATED WINS' topics aren't the best way to make friends.

For these people who are only interested in winning and not in having fun, I only have one thing to say to you.

**** off.

I dunno, I have a lot more fun when I win then when I don't.

I love those ones. It's such a great feeling, particularly as you don't really have the time to realise your opponent is about to cark it.

My proudest moment was also beating a ASW staff member for my registration code. I had just emailed my info to ASW, friday night and I wouldn't have gotten a code till monday afternoon. I played and beat a staff member that nite, i forget who ;), and he gave me my code for wailing on him good.

It also feels great whenever I clear my screen on Expert Mode. Whee!

Jinx and myself have played Synotic --and won. When I first play someone I have to get used to their game play. He was ahead 0-2. Then I pushed forward with 3 wins in a row. He disconnected on me. I too really really dislike sore loosers. Later I talked to Jinx to find out that the same thing happened to Jinx.

I am pretty good myself, but I do loose games. Most clan/guild leaders will give me a really good run for my money, and there are many players who are getting increasingly good. I like to sport a P+/M on my games, because I am not the best there is.

And I always make sure I say good game, there are even players who go as far to shake my hand! (virtually that is)

I'd say my best moment was the second game against spamguy I played... I beat him 3-1. Whee.

Yes.. and you're attitude is great too. Honestly, if you have such a problem playing me, then don't! I have to problem at all playing people over and over. I've played 3 A's what 20 times and beat him once? (that was pretty glorious btw ;)) My wins/losses are equal. I personally love trying my best and playing as many games as I can. The "no point unless you can be the best" can be very motivating. I know many people, including people on the tracker that share the same opinion. People who don't take things so seriously are the ones who I personally want to talk with. I dunno if you know, but it can certainly be frustrating losing and losing like 10 times in a row 3 to 0. (slightly exaggerated). But what better way to get better than getting up and trying again? It seems like it's you who are taking this all way to seriously, especially with the threats of getting me permanently banned from the server? What's with that? I -do- have fun playing either way. Perhaps I should change it to being the best at something you have fun at? I'm not playing -just- to be the best. That'd be ridiculous. But if I am having fun playing something.. might as well. None of your comments seem very "friendly" themselves. Public flogging? Hmm.. great. I've already talked with many people and have gotten past the disconnect at the end.. even if I lose. Anything else?

Yes, I'm sure it's grand fun for you to post topics that read "COME ON LOSERS" topics, and greet someone before a game saying "READY TO LOSE???" I'm sure that's great for you and I'm sure you have a blast doing it, but it's not fun for anyone else. Stop doing it.

Also, your topics that say "112 UNDEFEATED WINS". Undefeated means you haven't been beaten. But that isn't true. You may have won 112 games, but they are certainly not undefeated. Also, no one cares how many wins you have. If you want to keep those records for yourself, go right ahead, I can't stop you from wasting your time. But don't advertise it. That's arrogant and rude.

Also, you were quite rude to me in message form. I informed you that I was a pop-pop beta tester, and you replied, "well, I guess it didn't improve your play much". Excuse me, but that was quite obnoxious of you. I threatened to have you banned because you were rude. Rude people aren't nice to have mucking up a server. And people will be banned you continue to be rude. I'm not threatening, I'm informing you to stop being rude.

And now I'm warning you for the last time. You do a nice job of covering up your arrogance with long posts explaining what a good sport you are, but that is just window dressing. You obsess over pop-pop to win and win and win, and you love to broadcast how many wins you have, insult people, and be generally rude and annoying.

I'm not asking you to stop being this way. I'm telling you. Play the game, have fun, but don't be an ******* . That way other people can actually have fun too.

And you have a knack for saying how bad I am.

"I threatened to have you banned because you were rude."... "I'm not threatening, I'm informing you to stop being rude." Umm.. ok..

I may have come off at rude when I first played (18th or whatever) But it's since stopped except for people like you (well you're the only person) that don't have a clue. If you choose to see one thing but not the other.. well that's not a good thing to do. You yourself are coming off as an ******* , I mean I've since stopped yet you feel the need to publicly bash me. Is my e-mail available to you? if not, it's (url="http://"mailto:synotic@mac.com")mailto:synotic@mac.com(/url)synotic@mac.com

In summary: don't make an ass out of yourself even more, I've stopped, thus all your points are moot. there's no need to threaten someone who's already stopped. OK? (waits for the long post which ignores this one and essentially repeats the same things)

Nah, long posts take up too much of my time. You've suddenly stopped being what you were not 2 days ago, and completely different than what you were not 2 weeks ago. Fantastic, that's all I wanted to see. I'm so glad you could perform such an amazing metamorphasis. I have no wish to drag out an argument, but I was basing my information from what I last saw of you 2 days ago. But since you've changed so much in that time and are no longer posting those aforementioned arrogant game titles or being rude in message for before and after games, I have no more reason to argue with or respond to you. I apologize for going on two day old information that was obviously vastly outdated. Good luck in the rest of your games to come, and I'll see you on the tracker.

Semi-Plastered!? I always thought he (Andrew) was tougher than that. I wish I could still get semi-plastered on four beers. I had at least six during the tournament and it only made me a little drowsy.
