Squid-talk.

Earlier today~

[15:19] Squidworth: so full of rage :P
[15:20] TheGrasshopper: ttly
[15:20] Squidworth: fucking BoD
[15:20] Squidworth: I hate that guy
[15:20] Squidworth: and Umino's all up on his dick
[15:20] Squidworth: makes me sick
[15:21] TheGrasshopper: Heh, don't take it hard.
[15:21] TheGrasshopper: They don't mean it as personal as you're taking it.
[15:21] TheGrasshopper: Which is why I simply said "don't goad" in there.
[15:21] Squidworth: BoD thinks he's some sort of God at this game
[15:21] Squidworth: him and Link both were all over me when I first started playing this game
[15:21] Squidworth: "You suck blah blah blah"
[15:22] TheGrasshopper: Well, you could take some advice from what they say.
[15:22] TheGrasshopper: I mean, Link fails at this game so spectacularly sometimes that it becomes impressive.
[15:23] TheGrasshopper: And while they are elitist and condescending, you're not exactly giving them nothing to work with~
[15:23] Squidworth: I know I know
[15:23] TheGrasshopper: For instance, you made your statement without really noting that there are three factions within the Unaffiliated that are all working against one another.
[15:23] Squidworth: I mean I'll be the first one to tell you that I made mistakes...
[15:23] Squidworth: in all three games that I played
[15:23] TheGrasshopper: Which would have been dead talk~
[15:24] Squidworth: Link I have no problem with, because he's toned it back a bit
[15:25] TheGrasshopper: Link also stopped caring~
[15:25] Squidworth: But I don't act like I've never made mistakes before
[15:25] Squidworth: this is true
[15:25] TheGrasshopper: You're taking itt too personally.
[15:25] Squidworth: am I?
[15:25] TheGrasshopper: What BoD says doesn't matter~~
[15:25] Squidworth: how am I supposed to take it when I see shit like what he posted in the thread?
[15:25] TheGrasshopper: And he also chastised Umino a little bit in mafia chan for the quote.
[15:25] Squidworth: oh
[15:25] Squidworth: did he?
[15:26] TheGrasshopper:
[15:04] bringerofcats: Umi making up quotes by me :(
[15:26] Squidworth: regardless
[15:26] Squidworth: he still said it
[15:26] TheGrasshopper: [15:08] Umino: Umi making up quotes by me :( <-- you actually said that once
[15:08] Umino: Like, literally.
[15:08] bringerofcats: not exactly as such
[15:08] bringerofcats: but yes
[15:08] Umino: No you said
[15:08] bringerofcats: I said that in reply to Squid talking to you in Game 5
[15:08] Umino: Squidworth has a phd in mafia imo
[15:08] bringerofcats: yeah
[15:27] Squidworth: ah.. ok
[15:27] TheGrasshopper: This came just after "umi making up quotes by me. :(" [15:04] bringerofcats: Squid should be proud though, not many people can survive longer than I can!
[15:04] bringerofcats: only most
[15:27] Squidworth: so Umino is the one blowing this out of proportion
[15:27] TheGrasshopper: No, youare.
[15:27] TheGrasshopper: :V
[15:27] Squidworth: ...
[15:27] TheGrasshopper: Umi is just jokingly chiding someone.
[15:27] TheGrasshopper: You're taking it *way* too personally.
[15:35] TheGrasshopper: I didn't mean to be offensive there.
[15:35] TheGrasshopper: BoD and Umi are both nice guys and don't mean harm.
[15:35] TheGrasshopper: But you did take some impressive leaps of thought that annoyed people already annoyed by Sky's tactics.
[15:36] TheGrasshopper: It is only natural to see a minor backlash that belittles you.
[15:36] Squidworth: hmm
[15:36] Squidworth: I posted a withdraw of my rage
[15:36] Squidworth: sort of
[15:36] Squidworth: I just hate the elistist blahblah that seems to come out after every game
[15:36] Squidworth: all the deadites sit around and bitch
[15:36] Squidworth: myself included
[15:37] Squidworth: I didn't know Eyolo was Cao Cao though, that was new
[15:37] Squidworth: withdrawal*
[15:37] TheGrasshopper: Did you read what BoD posted in thread?
[15:37] TheGrasshopper: It summed up his feelings pretty well.
[15:39] Squidworth: yes
[15:39] Squidworth: that's why I apologized
[15:40] Squidworth: he's right... maybe I do act like I know more than I let on
[15:40] TheGrasshopper: And so we all continue to learn~
Session Close (Squidworth): Sat Aug 30 17:03:27 2008

It seems ironic for Squid to talk about the elitists when he is essentially complaining about himself. I think he was just feeling a little butthurt from having done what he could see as a less-than amazing job. However, I feel that people miss the point when they are playing this game. All too often it is not about doing the perfect thing all of the time. This game should reward effort, and frequently does. For the increased influence one receives by doing things, they also become an increased target.

Anyhow, this was an interesting chat~
