So I'm immoral to the NZ psyche?

...oh dear you have been offended...

Im just whopping it up cause for once I was the massive underdog that managed an upset...

Again, didnt mean to be offensive or be a poor winner, sending out some ribbing is all part of what i do, Shake hands now?

I thought u were tougher that that Razor.

...its nice to give someone a rark up that isn't chewy...

You didn't get the memo with the smiley at the end? Are you .... maybe .... perchance .... projecting?

I am a wittle wibbly wobbly fwower and not used to Rob acting all butch and rubbing my stamen too hard. + (Razor+Rob)

But in all sincerity I was just trying to prevent an outbreak of Oz-manship. (that's got to hurt)

P.S. I thought the response I'd get would be something akin to: Yup, exactly!

That said I'm all for going mano a mano with anyone and everyone. Banter is in very short supply in the BR world. There are no arguments and no fun onsite at all. Most communities are bolloxed and that's my main conviction as to why the game's gone stale. There are no rivalries or desire to admit to them. All the characters are now like eunuch versions of themselves. You can rib me as much as you want, I've got much better game than most in that domain. Just because I want to keep a strain going doesn't mean I'm wilting .... just maybe I'm sowing.

good on ya razor...

we seem to be on a similar wavelength....

It's the psyche of 2015/2016 Razor - everyone gets offended so nobody wants to offend anyone any more, except those tho DGAF. So the only banter you see is often really harsh

yes...what pants-r-us said

did you just throw out a rap song there?

oh no he did int

Do you want to know the reason why I ended up with the big dirty "farm" team? I was playing happily in my home community, doing well in the league, beating the majority, including the big boys. I went onto the offsite, kissing the king's arses as you must, until one of the pseudo-elites took me down in a cup game and was boasting about putting a minnow in it's place, trying to get in with the cool circle. I called him a "charlatán", which has a similar meaning to the english "charlatan" but does punch a bit harder, I just wanted to get some juices flowing. He starts crying and the rest of the big boys back him up and give me the cold shoulder on the offsite. I got some special treatment in the league the next season too. One bigger baby was there that I put on his arse several times and in several ways but in the end it just wasn't worth staying there. I had to leave my home community because of BR babies and a master baby. Just think, if it wasn't for that I might have only won a couple of majors instead of the gazillions I have now . But I suppose I would have "earned" them ....

Actually, that was just one of the tipping points. I got cold-shouldered for not contributing to the translation even though they had a full team on it and never spoke to me. I didn't have the time to volunteer in RL but one in particular took the hump. A perpetually offended gobshite with Napoleon syndrome.

Wow - that sucks so much when people act like that

We talking good 70's/80's rap or today's mah hoe, mah hoe, slam dat beeeatch wi' dah' coconut ridge! 

Easily offended people on the internet is probably the most boring thing there is.

If BR really wants to know why people are not staying then the community aspect needs serious looking-at. The community structure, the way offsites are handled, the perception of the elite in communities, taking care of the community waterers, etc. I was almost out the door because of problems attributable to those I've mentioned, it's not cohesive and creates cliques or at least the perception of cliques. If you're a community player like in other games you won't stay. I only stayed to piss off others at that time, worked too. But albeit a good motive, getting a positive buzz from others is better.

To stop the digression (I won't take the blame for it ) the latest S28 news is that the bestest bestest ever manager in the history of BR and all other gaming got beaten for the first time in the NZI by some wannabe who harks on about being a winner of a competition he rigged back when Ken Ham's ancestors were riding bareback on an Allosaurus and bringing back the glory days just like when Silvio Berlusconi holds an anniversary Bunga Bunga party to remind him of the good times.

And to hold to the sub-theme, check out a guy called "bearing" on youtube. Not bad for an Aussie you'll find.

are you talking about me? are you saying that you are the bestest of the best but then got smoked by me in the NZI, and that i rigged the BRIC?

...well to be fair i guess it is true that i rigged the BRIC in it's first season so i would win it....

anyway, we welcome all types here....with the exception of ptt, hanoi, escath, kingbling, buccaz, slarty, the_killerz....and chewy of course (there are probably a whole heap of managers i have missed out in that list...chewy, remind me of the others who we dont accept their kind round here)

I tried to put this with some backing music from 50cent. It worked ok.

I was listening to this while enjoying the banter

Yeah, but I'm far more poetic!

Ok, maybe I'm not the bestest of the best at the moment what with my rage quit confusion syndrome but lets just say the record books will look favourably on me.

Your list just shows how decadent BR has become, a sanitized, post-modern sleeping carcass providing a feeding ground for simple organisms.

Where have all the good men gone?

I forgot to add that he shot me in the ass!

50cent gets his backing music from a 1980's Casio organ. I prefer the polka versions.

Man, these last two pages gave me a few good laughs, but that particular line wins the LOL trophy!!
