Granny vs Luci

[Punk_FAS]

Granny moves really well on DM1, Granny has really good aim, and really good weapon skills.  I don't think Granny has an extremely great knowledge of the map sounds, at least in the way other players seem to (the ones he calls hackers =P). 

The thing is, Granny repeatedly says he is the best, and anybody who gets the better of him, he has, without exception I believe, labeled them a hacker.  It's the "I'm the best, and nobody could possibly be better than me" attitude of his, that people find annoying.  And I think because he is quite good, and has that attitude as well, that's why people get satisfaction with beating him.  In a way it's similar, in the fact that his one claim-to-fame, what he would claim anyway, him being the best, you're denying him that.

Oh, and btw, I think I've decided that nobody decides that they themselves are the best, but it is on the shoulders of others to give you that title.  Just one example, I can't recall Michael Jordan ever boasting about being the best basketball player that ever lived..... but, I'd say the vast majority of people that saw him play, would give him that credit.  Granny is trying to talk people into agreeing to what he wants, and that's to be the best, but that's not how it works.

Anyway, I don't think Granny will play anything but DM1, maybe Rage if he feels like he has a chance.

Lol,  Plastik said  "You people"

Sorry Plastik,  but ever since that came up in the Kobra debates
its always funny to me now.

=p

plastik, chill the fuk out.. its a game, some ppl find entertainment in these kinds of rival matches.. i know i do. i hope you dont think we take all this seriously.. its all for fun dude (i cant speak for granny tho, not sure of his intentions)

I'm 100% chilled. 

The problem is it seems like it's only fun to those who win, and the losers have a problem with that.  Both may be playing for fun when a match begins... but after that match is over, the loser becomes quiet or pissy in their defeat, it's rediculous.  And I do believe a few DO take it seriously.  They know who they are, and will no doubt reply bitching and such.  I can see the fun in all of this, kinda like fake squabbling for a wrestling match.  But even those can get out of hand, especially if people from the 'audience' try to jump in and attack the one they don't like.  This adds to my thought of a 'mob'.  It doesn't look fair to me when it is 10 players attacking 1.  But even then, most of those people have been beaten on a 1vs1 match.  Notice how pretty much only the losers are rooting this match to happen?  They can't beat him, so they are trying to get someone who possibly can?  I'd get more entertainment seeing rematches from those who lost with him to see if they can do any better, or get beaten down again.  As far as I know, those who have lost, have not called for a rematch.  why is this?  are they afraid?  and this goes back to rooting luci on to whoop him in a match so they can watch and enjoy seeing something accomplished that they couldn't do no matter how hard they tried.

well, 'you people'  means, to me, a group of people who have some trait or goal in common.

lol your sadly mistaken if you think luci's the only one who can beat granny the fact is granny put himself in the corner vs the "world"...and he seems to like it..so quit your crying plastik and go play some rails and hey maybe you will learn how to do the arena jump one day (if u ever figure out what that is) 

[Punk_FAS]

Plastik, I think most people dislike Granny's attitude, and don't go out of their way to say he sucks.  They mostly just say that he's not the best, like he so boastfully claims he is, I think most everybody will agree that he's pretty good, if not one of the best active players right now.

q2 has MANY maps. granny is good one 1 1/2 of those maps. granny is not good.

[Luci]

sean: first i never claimed to be the best

plastik: don't know where to start on that, so i'm just not going to, but

[Luci]

also if you known me through the years, i have always had good sportsmanship, and i rarely do shit talk to a person i beat, or even lose to.  I like to play and i like to play how the game came out of the box.  now as far as i can see plastik your so in left field it gives me a tear.  seriously

naym > granny  (obvious)
dahang > granny (obvious)
hell i would say
waff > granny
all the people he has beaten are only 1 shot wins 1 game 1 time in a pickup, it means shiet.  if granny did a best of 5 with any of them he would lose,
and if he did a best of 5 with dahang and naym only on dm1 he would still lose.  People know who the best players are, you seem not to.  So before you say something like they are all backing me to beat him cause they can't.  Do more research, i haven't played and when i do i can't even remember the last time i beat naym or hang, it was prolly when i was practicing for qcon, or ic-na.  which is 1 or 2 years ago.  So i know where i stand, i'm a rusty salt dog who enjoys some good ol q2 competetion that for some reason NA doesn't have cause people just play in autopiliot and there is no excitement.  I'm promoting a matchup for the enjoyment of the community.  Cause i do believe a lot of people would like to see the old school player come back and beat the community's new shit talker.  btw there has always been a granny and they always get their foot stuck in their mouth, i would just like to start moving his head down to his foot.  So the rest of ya can then shove it into it.

q2 has MANY maps. granny is good one 1 1/2 of those maps. granny is not good.

As I recall, the map your best on and play the most, is q2dm1, the same map he beat you on. 
When I wanted to 1vs1 you in 2box4....you quietly backed down from that scenario.  hypocrite.

[plastik]

Luci, I do think granny is an o.k. player, but not the best, I'm sure there are plenty of people that can beat him.  As for his attitude, towards me, even before these posts, he has not said anything disrespectful to me.  go figure.  maybe he has the mouth because a bunch of other 'newbs' and such said shit first.  That is atleast from my experience.  If hes gonna treat others with disrespect, then why not me also?  probably because there is other background reasons from others who have talked shit to him, and now lost to him.

I'm all for a good scrimmage.  BUT...it looks like shit when the only audience it seems to be attracting for the main part, are those who have lost to him.  But yes, I am anxious to see a match, and to see who takes the gold.  Have fun!  and quit hating on players better skilled than you that play legitimately.  you know who you are.

[Luci]

maybe because you aren't a threat to him?  He knows you will not beat him, you can't be in the way to his glory of being #1 so he passes you off as a newb with a good attitude, but if you did beat him or showed that you possibly'ed could watch out!

[haunted]

I have never said that i am the best on q2dm1. Actually my best map is dm3. Plastik, you are a complete newb to any mod in q2. You claim to be some awesome railer when an hpb (me) beat you in the most known/common q2 map from all mods, in a mod he never plays. Stop talking shit, I don't see you playing me in my mod like i did for you.. why?? because it would be 30- -5 GG.

anytime, any map, I will duel you.. schedule it.

[soso]

Damn.
Has any one a spare clue?
Plastic seems to derperately need one.

[console]

This entire post, seems more like the kinda stuff you said you've been getting from granny.  So your trying to use peer pressure into getting granny into a match?  But really tho, you people are just as bad as the people you say your against. 

Funny, I thought it was completely opposite from what anyone has been getting from Granny.

Have you read any of granny's posts in the last month?  Here's how it goes:

Granny: I'm the best.  Look I just beat player xyzzy.

Xyzzy: You were aliased during that game, but whatever.  Let's play again.  Anytime.

Granny: No. I'm the best. And you hack. I can beat your hacks with just grenades.

Xyzzy: So let's play.  How about Sunday at 11 AM ?

Granny: No. Here's the score from that one game where I beat you. I'm the best.

etc. ad infinitum.


Gah, why do I need to explain this.  Luci's challenge seems completely opposite of anything coming from granny, which has been equal parts trash talking, hack accusations, and refusal to play matches.
