Petition to Get Mike To Play Ladder!!!

acegunner · #1 03-14-2011, 03:21 AM

So i was talking to Mikesol in ladder today, and the topic was brought up over how I would get mike to play a tbd ladder game. We started the debate over making a petition.I asked him how many I had to get and he said infinity. Then he said if i can get KARL LAMSTER AND ZOE to all say he should play, then he will play 5 games.

I am determined to make this happen and I think that the altitude community would enjoy seeing mike play again.

mayo

mike plays ever now and then, u just gotta be in the right spot at the right time

Why doesn't he play?

I don't understand why, being as active in the forums as he is, he doesn't participate in ladder, which is really all altitude has going for experiences players such as himself.

acegunner · #5 03-14-2011, 03:44 AM

Not tbd ladder. The last tbd ladder game he played was on October of 2010. But this is going to fail becuase they don't read the water cooler

Personal messages/emails?

I don't play ladder for a variety of reasons.

* I hate getting screwed over by someone disconnecting all the time or just plain leaving.
* I hate getting screwed over by someone who is not ranked properly.
* I hate getting screwed over by people not being able to play more than one plane (i.e. plane composition)
* I hate the ragey-ness of the environment.
* I hate how I have to play time anchor like every game.
* I hate how I'm held to the highest standard and that I feel if I make one small mistake everyone is going to be super pissed at me.
* I hate how people can't grow together or communicate effectively. If I play competitively, I want people to actually learn how to play together.

To me, playing in official 1-3, ball dojo, or any of the other somewhat decent servers is more fun. Most people don't even know me in those servers so there's no pressure for me to consistently perform at a ridiculously high standard. I can play random all the time as well.

i don't think anyone expects you to be perfect, mike

especially since you're currently so underrated :P

tgleaf · #9 03-14-2011, 05:06 AM

Boko and Goose make excellent Karl and Lamster trolls (via Nutsy Bolts that one night) so just ask them for the go ahead and get... someone... to pretend to be Zoe.

Random is the most fun. I totally agree with you there.
I have more fun playing in official 1-3 than in ladder.

They fit your criteria perfectly. Nobody yells at anyone else, they have amazing chemistry and game-play flow, and no one player is ever needed to carry the team. It's magic.

Yeah, because you do keep getting screwed over, what with having the highest winrate above like 1700 and all. Also I heard that Sky, Mled, Donk, Ingbo and Aya all said you were rubbish and couldn't top ladder. You're not going to take that lying down, are you?

I have been screwed over numerous times even playing as few games as I have. I'm not trying to brag or be arrogant about it - just saying that I've had people leave a lot in the games I've played (or do those other things I've mentioned).

Also, I don't think any of them said that and even if they did it's probably true anyway lol.

Goose · #16 03-14-2011, 09:06 AM

ladder is a soul sucking, demon spawn, creation of satan and all that is evil and corrupt about this game. Mike is a better man than i will ever be for taking the high road and refusing to partake in such a godforsaken server

Interestingly enough, that godforsaken server is the only thing that keeps some people playing alti

The exact opposite is also true.
I dont have, at the end of a work day, the strenght, or the will, to face ladder games. I miss the times when officials were pumped with good players and people had tremendous fun.

what this man said, is so true. i miss the old times with flight lag bombing without making people rage about it =[

elxir · #32 03-14-2011, 07:17 PM

the sad part is that mike playing any plane is better than pretty much all of ladder playing their best plane

elxir · #33 03-14-2011, 07:21 PM

had fun last night in official 1 because zero was there and we spent most of the time ignoring the game and just trying to out-whore each other

that's basically the most fun you can have in TBD pub servers lately since absolutely nobody attempts strategy

Boko, nobody likes you - go play with the traffic. Oh and startg a Boko vs anyone thread, i'm sure a few people would like to stick one to you :P

Premier Stalin · #38 03-14-2011, 10:53 PM

I think Kuja wants a word with you.

On topic though, there is trolling and there is knowing the fine line of taking it too far. ^^
