No MAs! No Mas!...Pleae make em stop! I cant take anymore.
I must have had a bout of momentary insanity when I uttered the "P" word. Had I known, that in so doing that I would have unleashed the very hounds of hell upon my sorry ass, I would have never considered uttering the "P" word.
So in light of my uttering the untypable, I would like to apologize to Treeburst and Winecape for dragging this thread into a morass of negativity. Never was my intention so.
In fact, my intention , which I thought was obvious, was to stir the competitiveness of some of the people left out of WineCape's tourney and garner some interest in TH's humble little tourney. Granted, while I was at it I took some shots at the very notion of "invite", and was attempting to use false indignation about the very concept. But alas, the net is crappy medium for sarcasm.
Then I took aim at P---, I will rue the day I ever fired that volley in that direction. Had I realized they actually read posts beyond the Pe...(oooops, almost said it) thread I would have thought better, as discretion is the better part of valor.
Their is one point I would like to make, at no point did I ever mention my ranking at TH. (But thanks for noticing )And when I spoke of kicking arse in the Winecape tourney if any of us (TH inclusive) were actually invited, it was with the hope that an invitation would be directed toward our group of valiant CM warriors.
Not with the mind of me being invited persay, but that Yobobo(TH web guy) would garner some consideration or TH as a group. Yobobo is certainly very much a celebrity in the CM community and his contributions to the larger CM community hopefully have not gone unnoticed.
So with that, I decline your offer to join your pleasant little gathering, first on the grounds that I agree, I am no CM celebrity by any stretch of the imagination, infact this is one of my first posts ever at Bfront (lurker for awhile, and would'nt uknow it, I get gangbanged by the Pool)
The last thing I wanna become is another whipping boy for the pool, like Panzerleader is
Secondly, I feel that maybe the invitation should be directed towards yobobo in recognition of all his selfless work to offer yet another quality outlet for people to get together and play CM. Remember, Yo started the CAL league with Abbott in response to a style of play people wished to see in the CM community.
If Yo, refuses to accept the invite then maybe he or we(TH) could nominate one of our own (if it is me I will serve)from THouse. If Peng is worth two candidates, then certainly we are worth one. The list of candidates I could throw out from our ranks are celebrities in their own right. First off their is the LEGENDARY Swamp....yes he is not a myth..he is often at TH taking on all comers and constantly proving why IMHO he is the best CM player on the planet.
Other notables, who are well known who frequent our site are, Von Schalburg (Dane and highest ranked player), GravesRegistration(Liberal wacko, but I am willing to overlook that since he always crushes me) and Wreck (Helped bring about CAL and is an insanely good player who has been contributing mightly to the CM community long before his arrival at TH).
So again thank you for the invitation WineCape, but when compared to the likes of Yobobo and Swamp, I am hardly fit to accept on my own to represent the distinguished TH. So I refuse your gracious offer and hope you consider Yobobo out right and or maybe an at large person from TH.
I dont pretend to speak for Yobobo, TH is his sight and his brainchild, I hope I have not tarnished anyone's opinion of TH with my earlier audacious remarks. Anyone who has dealt with Yo knows what an accomadating and great guy he is and how well and fair his sight is run.
Thanks
