I do not wish to respond to Brian's personal attack on me, other than to say that I am disgusted with this list for not keeping the discussion less personal and for not putting a stop to them. When I accused Brian of cheating, or when I point out ways in which the "hard work," he has done to "explain," "macros is flawed and possibly sabotaged, while this is "personal," it pertains to the game, and is , as Brian's's is not, constrained by the technical nature of this list. Because I do not know precisely how something is done does not mean that I do not know it is being done. I am not by far the best quake player, rather I *WAS* not. However, for such an "experienced player," as Brian claims he is , not to know the mod well enough to understand that some of the variables he's mucking with are re-set in the more modern configuration files, his failure to mention that you need commands like '-left' or '-attack', not to mention never even discussing the three-dimensional nature of the game, and after observing the number of players complaining that his "explanation," slowed them down and made them more inefficient, is appalling. for him to set himself up as some sort of quake master is incomprehensible to me. The fact that he has recently called me "Mark," on the game, *DESPITE* my having switched player names in an attempt to dodge this whole stupid business, is not only illegal but dishonorable and suspicious. Because someone can be beaten does NOT mean they aren't using unfair advantage. Plenty of people beat me more than Brian ever did, and I didn't accuse them of anything. Brian had information, posted in his attack on me, which was privileged between one other player and myself, about the questions I was asking regarding how Brian might be cheating. His mention of a "virus on his PC," is something I have only discussed with one other individual.
In conclusion, I'm done. I am unsubscribing from this list. While Brian will undoubtedly see this as a passive-aggressive temper tantrum, it's got more to do with the fact that this is just a game, and I have a life. I've tried to back up what I state with what objective information I have; it's apparently not enough. I'm the guy screaming that the house is on fire, while everyone inside thinks it's just a sunny day. It's simply not worth it. I apologize to the list for the band width this has taken. My words stand. --Mark BurningHawk Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] my website: http://www.panix.com/~mbaxter Namaste _______________________________________________ AGRIP-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.agrip.org.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/agrip-discuss
