So, if someone came into a game you organized, spammed to no end for their game, and continued to do so despite warnings from the server operator to stop, you wouldn't call that disrespect? I'm sorry, but who's server was that? Which clan organized the match? And you want to come in and advertise for a DIFFERENT game in a server that we worked hard to earn, create, and invite players to? I am absolutely certain that given you in my position, you would've laid down the banhammer so hard that servers in China would feel the tremor. However, I never even threatened you with a kick.
No, I wouldn't have, because people can't come interrupt you when you're sc-blam!-. You would have the game max player'd or passworded. You WEREN'T SC-blam!-, YOU WERE PUBBING.
So? We were having fun. Does that give you the right to interrupt it with spam and advertise your game? Sorry.p
I definitely wasn't interrupting anything. I wasn't saying stuff nearly often enough to justify it as spam, I was asking first if anyone wanted to scrim, then if HMC wanted to scrim (where someone replied, then two of your guys said no). A TUI guy then came in, and I asked him if he wanted to scrim, he said no. 420 then said he would 2v2 and I asked "who else wants to 2v2?" Nobody replied, so I asked Tauron and Chronos specifically. Tauron said no, Chronos never replied, and considering you had implied a kick with your "warning" (If i recall correctly you said "I'm not going to say it again"), I was afraid to ask him more than twice when he didin't respond to a direct question.
Second, you were spamming the text chat. Don't deny it or try to work around it by saying it wasn't directed at you. What you're saying is that your 18-wheeler wasn't really disrupting the highway, it was simply all over the road to block that blue sedan back there.
Was I stopping anyone from playing? You don't have to watch the chat, and even if you were, I wasn't typing long sentences or saying stuff often. It wasn't spam.
Third, find the five people who wanted to scrim. That's right, only one person suggested it. Every other HMC, MAW and TUI was either not online or engaged in the game. Forgive me for sounding bigoted about rankings, but an HMC Official said no, mostly because they don't want the entire clan tangled up in such a mess.
How is it a mess? You both said you "weren't in the mood" and you're "playing badly right now." Exact responses. Maybe if you have terrible communication with each other, it can be messy.

Fourth, if nobody in halo/whatever goes in there any more, how does that give you the right to spam our game?
I wasn't interrupting anything, and I was NOT spamming. Spamming would be typing multiple messages before the previous ones roll of the screen. I was typing one, maybe two per text block.
Fifth, if you don't think the game is so dead, and if that many teams showed up when CAL hosted it, why not go ask them for players instead.
Do you honestly think I haven't done that? I've got Roach, I tried to get Vespillo, but most of them hate the game now because nobody plays competitively.
The game is dead because nobody plays competitively.
And if the censor filters you out, stop trying to put in curse words. ;)
You hate scrim+ing that much that you'd consider a curse word? el oh el.
Edit: The first post still has meaning. I don't expect half of you to show up at all because all you did is pub and call it sc-blam!-, but whatever. Have fun with that, whoever actually does plan on joining the draft pug next time, I guarantee you'll have a blast. I'm done arguing with kids that started playing Halo two years too late and are arguing about it like they've played from day one. You talk like you know what sc-blam!- is, like you know how it runs, and what communities are made of. Get some more experience under your belt and then get back to me.
Next draft pug will going down next Friday at 9:30 PM EST. You must have vent, a microphone would make the game a lot better (communiation is key, obviously), but if you don't have one and really can't get one, whatever. Minimum of 10 people to play, XFIRE me at Phozee for more details.
