I was in your bracket, and I was thieving from you because you were threatening min scoops. .

Yes, Mathluv8 and myself stopped Rohina and others from taking min scoops, but how many cards did you ever have at once Mathluv8 and did you ever see this 196 they seem to be talking about?

And to bring the thread more onto topic how the hell do I get into a competition bracket like Barely Legal gets in.. I’d much rather have no competition so I can get 4 trophys.

It’s not possible anymore. (Well, it *may* be possible by spending an arseload of brownie points, but I refuse to do that to test it.)

So, seemingly, Barely Legal knew that last week’d be the last time it’d be possible under normal cirgreat timesstances, and took advantage of it.

So you’re saying he does do it on purpose, and he has access to the information about a fix for this and when it’s gonna happen?

Can I call him a liar for saying he had no control over what bracket he’s in?

I am quickly losing respect for the domination game, as all I see when I play it is abuse and exploits all around from some of the other players.

I wish I could believe your sincerity on this one buddy:

2 Apr — Team Death Race — 33/22/1 — 4 medals

omg! Thanks, jpsteel, for letting me know that I played the game and you didn’t like the way I did it, not only in this thread, but also by tubmailing both me and my alt AND reporting a post in this thread! I would never have known if you did only one of those, so thank you so much for letting me know four times.

Perhaps I should also stop pwning forums altogether so you have a chance to catch up on the most forums pwned leaderboard?

Seriously, people, here’s the deal. I’ve had a crap couple of weeks dealing with modding issues and klan drama, and thought I’d try to actually, y’know, play the game for enjoyment again. So n00b65 was going for medals this week. Only problem was partway into it, I got slammed with another set of modding crap and had to give up a couple of days of forum visits, and in the bracket he was in, I didn’t think I’d honestly have a chance of getting medals. So I gave up with him.

Then yesterday, less than seven hours before the round ended, I said, “Y’know, Barely Legal hasn’t pwned any forums in a week or so. Let’s do some, go for the Veado e-peen.” And the way I do forums, I tend to get lemon scoops. So I was put into a bracket.

After four pwns (and, BTW, a vanilla scoop), I took a look at the bracket and thought, “Huh. A couple of people playing the game and a bunch who aren’t. Well, I’ll keep going towards the e-peen.” So I did. Used up the rest of my visits with eight more pwns, on my way to Veado. Looking again at the bracket, I noticed I was screwing up the people in there. So, I did careful card-buying and playing. Left the guy with most scoops, and the other guy with fave flavor, alone, and ensured that I didn’t take their potential medals away.

I did see an unexpected opportunity, though, I must admit, and I’m human. So I arranged to tie them, and I did steal a scoop from someone who was clearly not playing in order to get the min scoops, but didn’t push it above 1, in case either of the people actively playing decided to try to take me down. And then I was done. Didn’t check back in until way later. If they knocked me down, great! If they didn’t, great! Didn’t matter to me.

2) I haven’t been anything but truthful in everything I’ve posted here. And I will stand by that.

Without going into any further details — AND DON’T ASK, I won’t do it — I’ve decided that Barely Legal will not be playing for medals for herself for the foreseeable future.

LOL HYPOCRISY

So you stumbled into a bracket and accidentally won 4 medals. That’s one hell of a tripLog in to see images! Flava Flav edited this message on 04/03/2008 11:30AM

After the last few weeks of you not getting put into competitive brackets it sure seems/ed to us that you know how to work the system to not get put into a bracket for medal winners and you were/are abusing the system.

I don’t know if this is true or false, and I certainly understand that you say you didn’t try to rig it. Can you see our side that it sure seems like you being the top medal winner should get put into medal winner brackets no matter what?

Sure. But why is all the vitriol being directed at me? Are all of you telling me honestly that if you got put into a bracket by yourself you’d trade in your scoops for cards so you didn’t get medals that weren’t fought for? Somehow I find that hard to believe.

Don’t hate the gamer, man, hate the game.

So if I manage to get to the top of the forums pwned leaderboard, people would be demanding that I stop pwning forums so they could get a chance to? Seriously?

Could be. Part of being a mod. People (unfairly) expect different things from you.

I’m sorry I didn’t mean to come off as I was hating on you, I just think the game should put the top guy/girl in brackets with top people. If anyone else was #1 and got put into “easy” brackets, we’d be posting more at them, and not you. I just think it’s something that should be repaired.
