I feel I need to post one more "pile" here because I value SB as a good friend.
And, I just gotta say something or I feel I am neglecting that friendship.
I value ALL of you as good friends, and I hope this post here does NOT change that and screw things up! (yeah even Meat somewhat I guess) LOL
I only have One problem with MEAT that I share with most that I hear from, and it has Nothing to do with How he Plays UT.
I used Fuzz_Ball's posts for quotes Mainly because he seemed to touch on a lot of points here...
But, Sorry Fuzz, I am NOT trying to "pick" on you, I just don't think you or many people here totally understand all of this.
Most of you only see the results posted here is all.
I value Your friendship also Fuzz! - and I also realize that some of this is you just Joking is all ...
... But here goes... Just to set a few things straight that I observe anyway... (my opinion?)
Fuzz_Ball wrote:Now, /3ob, Sure MEAT is a sick kid and may need help but he's alright with me.
Not if he would Continually and Falsely cut you down all the time without any provocation Fuzz.
I'll bet he would Not be alright with you then.
I know it would drive me nuts and I too would leave a server that MEAT is in, or if anybody did this, same thing!
I would avoid them.
Fuzz_Ball wrote:Although he often whoops my azz, I have no problems playng against him.
Nobody has problems Playing against MEAT - or at least Very Few - that is Absurd and All in MEAT's head.
That is Not at all WHY SB (and some others I know) will not play with (or should I say "BE with") MEAT in any server either.
They have problems playing in a server "WITH MEAT in it", Being
with MEAT is the problem, not playing against him.
I am fine playing against MEAT also, as he hasn't verbally attacked me that I know of.
Fuzz_Ball wrote:The fact that MRS has steady traffic is proof that many others don't mind the MEAT.
Actually, I think Not ...
As MEAT states over and over and over again, they, the players, usually Leave when he comes in.
They play because MRS has acquired a couple of regulars that play every minute they can. (think KK, SOD, etc.)
It is common knowledge now days, in these later days of UT, that potential players search for servers that have players in them.
That is the Very First criteria players look for in a server, that I see and is proven to me over and over again.
Sure, he set up a good server, and yes the "MEAT-Deemer" is a pretty fun deemer, but that is Secondary when you come down to what actually attracts players to a server.
First and Foremost is to have players in the server as much as possible - even just 1 or 2 players.
After a while, players just keep coming back because they Automatically start to assume it will have players there in the server most of the time.
And also after a while, the server tends to have players in it Most of the time Mainly because of this phenomenon.
This is the "Niche" or "Cycle" that MRS has attained now - the players come back because they assume Other players Will be there.
What reinforces this statement is when I see that {MRS} is empty of players (or maybe even has only 1 or 2 in it) and a somewhat regular player of {MRS} comes over and plays on {CLD} (or any server), then more of the regular {MRS} players tend to show up on {CLD}.
The more players playing, the more that show up!
Why?
Because, Secondly, I also have set up a good server with equally fun deemers.
So has Hermskii with {CG}.
But, Firstly, Number ONE, they see that there are players playing in my server or Hermskii's {CG}! - That is the Number ONE reason they come!
They do not come to {MRS} because they like to play with MEAT. LOL
Some just leave - those that do stay just tolerate him is all, I suspect.
Fuzz_Ball wrote:Don't you (SB) think you're getting your panties in a bunch over nothing, here?
Nothing? MEAT verbally attacks SB whenever and where ever he can.
I'll bet Your "panties" would be in a bunch also. LOL (maybe even tied in knots? - ouch!)
Fuzz_Ball wrote:Now I don't mind playing with you (SB) even though you use set netspeed keybind cheats so let's all play nice or I'm shutting down the entire Internet.
See next replies to your posts about these so-called "cheats" LOL

Fuzz_Ball wrote:Bob, you're taking this $#!t way too seriously.
It's obvious, Mr. MEAT's mere presence annoys you. Everyone who plays redeemers sees that.
I was only messin' with ya.
A true statement! (and I hope you were only joking!)
Fuzz_Ball wrote:I find it peculiar that at the slightest hint of impropriety, certain players such as you get hyper offended and then go on the offense.
Huh??? "slightest hint of impropriety"???
Again, MEAT verbally attacks SB whenever and where ever he can, and a lot. (NOT slight!!!)
Fuzz_Ball wrote:Sure you're a good player and always good company...
SB is a very good player (I think one of THE Best!) and also very good company in a game!
I must say here also that SB most of the time asks players if they want help with playing redeemer, and if he notices a player having trouble he will stop and give them some pointers virtually ALL the time.
I also gotta say that I have seen MEAT help many newbie players in a similar fashion.
These 2 guys (SB and MEAT)
Both have that one thing for sure in common I will say here!
Fuzz_Ball wrote:... but in-game, you seem to move in a particular direction and then skip a few frames and disappear.
I've played a lot of game types and very rarely see others doing that.
What's an average player like me to think?
That is called "Using a Translocator" (a special moving-about technique that many use) I see it a lot. - LOL (need I say more?) LOL
Maybe SB's idea of getting together, face to face, over a "few" bottles of beer would be good.
If we all had the wherewithal to do this, like a UT reunion, it would be fun indeed! - Hook
