Considering I didn't start playing again since around October/November of 2010 and at that point managed to move up my top bot from level 0 to level 4 and half of my team up to level three and four, including moving past some of your team. Yes I have reset over half my team a dozen times since around January. But unlike you I still try to learn and experiment with this game to find out as much as I can from the math and the different builds out there. Parts of my team are modeled around Sustain, Yours, NV, Potentate, and a few others builds as test models.
It's not hard to move past my lower six bots. They may only see 3-4 deployments a day during the working week as when i'm at work I only send out the top 6. I think of the lower six as fillers.
As for experimenting, I don't need to experiment. I know what works and what doesn't work, i've known it for a long time. I just like to do things differently than others, that's why some of mine tend to have intell and rank!
The same way you wish to call me a coward for not fighting a useless fight are you calling me an idiot because I see a flaw with a certain build and can man up and admit to my mistakes and change to better my team?
Never called you an idiot.
I do however think it's silly that people spend time "experimenting" when all the experimenting has been done and they could just ask.
You don't annoy me. I just think you're lame. Big difference.
Perhaps you are right about being lame, but the big difference between you and I is that you instantly fall into name calling when you don't have stats or facts to fall back on as if what you think about me really has any effect on my life. I on the other hand have taken it and tried to work with you and show you respect. Just because somebody doesn't play the way you like doesn't make it wrong.
Before writing me off, I suggest you get to know me.
If you want to show how well you grow and your team does, why don't you enter Sustain's Mini XP game and show the rest of us how its done.
You want the honest to goodness answer as to why I don't enter those sorts of things or why I rarely use the bragging thread?
Because I spent years boasting and bragging and being an arrogant arsehole. I reached a point where i'd achieved so damn much I was bragging about the same things over and over again. It was getting boring and it was pissing people off.
So I stopped. I stopped, stepped back, and let others have their day.
That being said, if people want to brag against me, well I have my standards. Beat me? Hey that's fine. But make sure your side doesn't out number mine and you don't allow me to make base xp.
You shut me out, you deny me valuable xp, and you do it on a fair basis, then you can brag. Otherwise, in my eyes, you've (and i'm generalising there for the record) done nothing impressive.
I also set my own personal levels of standards. I keep my weekly spreadsheet and track my own progress. I set my own goals. I don't measure myself against anyone else, there's nothing egotistical about it, I just don't feel the need to prove myself to others, I only need to meet my own goals, and that's just not relegated to this game, that's how I am in life.
That's what i like to see, i've only used reset maybe six times since i started playing and that was to get the alt i was waiting for.
