> Regarding this quote: he's much too > A hearty You're right. It is insulting to some people that take the "elitism" to heart. But it's true, and a completely valid opinion of the game. Do you obsess over CF day and night? It's best not to. I know a whole lot of people do, and that's wrong, not only because they're A) placing this image of CF as being something other than the Internet-based text MUD it is, and placing it as their addiction, and growing annoyed when they realize they do in fact suck, or B) pushing the players that call themselves elite or who are immortals to a higher level. I think it's a completely valid opinion, and it's a shame you're insulted, but in playing this game for 5 years, I have grown tired of the stupidity and randomness within it. The badly-roleplayed level-sitting idiots who do nothing but PK with an overpowered combo at that rank, and then delete when they lose their set. The permagroupers that deny vehemently that they permagroup, then brag about their "conquests" on the Forum. The insane fuckups like Graatch who claim that El Scarab and others are in some form of conspiracy or are detrimental to the game. The people that haven't been playing for so long, and vent because they're caught within an old trick or trap of some spell time and time again... who complain that something's overpowered or someone's cheating (Frellis, for example, is a perfect example of this randomness manifesting). And the amazingly arrogant people that have no concept of character whatsoever, yet feel they can outPK everyone. CF has grown boring except for some amazing people that can roleplay exceptionally well. I look for those people and hang around with them, and generally, they can kill pretty well too (as I'm an "aggressive" player that does like to hunt people and kill them). If being good at both roleplaying and killing means you're "elite" and you have some sort of serious hangup with them talking about the game like it IS in fact boring, perhaps you should question WHY they think the game is boring rather than resorting to telling them to fuck themselves.
> fucking smart to be playing this ghetto game with social deviants and Quake-playing 13 year olds:Fuck You
to Taerien or whoever the hell you are, Challen or whatever deity you claim to be and anyone else swallowing this bullshit. Believe it or not, some of us, the sucky player base, do have a brain cell bouncing back and forth within a synapsis, and although it took some time to register, this post is infinitely insulting. Now, if you'll give us some pudding and a cot, we'll be off.
