To make you happy, I edited my post, because YES i could see how it was a bit condesending, and No I didn't mean that. I apologize.

WTF, Yes I care about reading someones opinion, and No I don't care about a bunch of people that are trying to start some kind of Forum post-war. I don't undersant how you can dish on FLED-Morphine when he litterally didn't have anything to say except the kinda stuff I was aiming for. God this forum sucks.

If this is a forum war, you started it and egged it on, therefore maybe you should just change the subject, admit defeat, and ask some other questions.

Thank you for your support Juan_Valdez. I always enjoy knowing I revealed a little bit of truth on these forums.

Your responses continue to puzzle me cdoggy1

I suck at Halo. . . I did think I was fairly good, and I was just wondering if there was a lot of you out there LIKE ME who felt they haven't met many challenges. . .maybe, and really I do suck in all actuality.

I suck, sorry

post: 11:20
I'm really not that good


Wow, your existence is full of paradox. You've met so few challenges, and you think you're fairly good, but you've met no challenges and you suck. Sorry, but I'm trying to picture how this works out in your mind.

Unlike you guys, I don't come on here to feel good about myself because I can write and intelligent post. And in my opinion, if you do come on here to make yourself feel better, then you are a -blam!-.
Hmm, you don't come here to feel better about yourself, but you do come here in order to brag and feign modesty. Why would you waste your time doing that? Oh that's right, to feel better about yourself. . . These logical problems are becomming a habit.

Shame my wit will end up being wasted on a target that doesn't understand it. Oh well, I suppose it still is pretty satisfying.

Anyway, if you really want, I'll answer your question. I guage my skill in relation to the rest of the world by not trying. I only compare myself to other individuals; there are too many people I haven't played to say with confidence that I'm better or worse than the average player.
I avoid saying I'm "good, bad, godly or decent;" instead, I simply acknowledge that I'm better or worse than person X,Y or Z.

No, I wouldn't have started, because I haven't gone on, to try and "score" peoples results, out and out call individual out without provocation. Yes maybe my original post wasn't balanced, but that wasn't intended. And defeat? Ya, obviously your looking for a war, so you can have my defeat. If it makes you happier, I wasn't ever looking for a victory.

Ok, ok, I'll go ahead and hand over the peace pipe now. It's getting really late. . . early actually, and I have school and work tomorrow.

I realize I was a little harsh on you cdoggy1, and, ultimately, you probably had no concious knowledge of any hypocrisy in your posts. I forgive you.

Try not to be too annoyed. . . this is just my hobby.

Thanks, bye, I have to go to sleep, and never check this forum again. I'll just go make myself feel better the old fasion way... rub one out.

Well, you can say that all you want but i think calling someone names is a provocation and a challenge. As for what Scipio says, the only way of finding absolute truth of skill level in the halo universe is through comparing yourself to indiviuals. This means questioning all of our skills( Descartes style, do i exist or not)- how does my grenading compare, etc. to other individuals i have played?

I should assume that even writing this is going to provoke a daring attempt to subdue me, but here goes nothing. Scipio, you are obviously a very intelligent person, and I applaud your ability to lay the proverbial smack down on cdoggy1. However I'd think a person of your mental stature would realize the flaw in your argument. The flaw being that the presence of your initial response to cdoggy1 and the blatant attack on his/her character was in fact hypocrisy unto itself. You tried to take the spotlight which is what cdoggy1 was trying to do if your accusations are with merit. You admitted this without shame in the first paragraph of your second statement:

"First of all, I congregated a bunch of words to, belittle you, expose the truth and, have an excuse to stay up this late and feel better about myself."

The only way someone could feel better about himself by post such remarks is by gauging the response. No one who could respond in such a way to a meaningless subscript that may not even exist in a game forum post could have the ability to boost their false confidence without public approval or dismay.

There is no way you could know what cdoggy1 actually meant in his first post (unless you know him). So to respond in such a way only shows you were looking for a fight.

Obviously you have no shame in trying to wound other people with your intellect. I suggest you find another way to express yourself.

I apologize for the harsh tone of this post. I hate to see someone as smart as you waste your time with haughty endeavors such as this.
