Aren't you worried about the war on drugs cutting off your supply?
Seriously though, you definitely seem like you're on something.
This thread is pretty stupid... people are better than you, so they acknowledge that and joke about it, and you can't accept that. They contribute, I contribute, it's you who seem the most elitist, by acting as if you're morally or intellectually superior, even though you've yet to show any contributions to the community that would show that you weren't elitist.
Just to point out the obvious, you just stated that the way to show I'm not elitest would be by doing what you have been screaming is something that makes a perosn elite.
What?!?!
So(according to what has been said), contributing to this site would make me elite, by proving that I am not elite because I posted an article?
This thread is pretty stupid... people are better than you, so they acknowledge that and joke about it, and you can't accept that.
So, you attack me for stating something that you don't think is proven, but you also state personal opinion as fact?
Bravo Sigmund Fraud, bravo, you have blown our minds with your intellect of Pwnz0r4g3.
And linking is not against the rules. Maybe you should try reading the rules, it says linking to a personal page would be against the rules.
Because obviously message boards want non-affiliated sites linked to on their site.
It was a no-no the last time I looked, so I didn't really bother checking on something that should have been a given.
They contribute, I contribute, it's you who seem the most elitist, by acting as if you're morally or intellectually superior
After all is said and done, what have I claimed to be better than you at?
Basic English?
Wow, good luck refuting that one to anybody else who has read this topic.
Your claims of elitism are based on the obviously flawed logic that you are somehow unbeatable when you play againat players who are not elite.
As far as being intellectually superior, I do have test scores to show that I'm superior to the majority of people, but I didn't state it myself, I let you draw your own conclusion on the matter.
If it seems like the players want special treatment because of their superiority, at least we can acknowledge they ARE superior players and they CONTRIBUTE to the game.
It would also be nice if those same players would acknowledge that the other players(no matter how n00bish some of them may be considered) are still players and deserve respect as such.
Guess what, they are better than you/us, so maybe they do deserve a bit of special treatment?
Their special treatment comes in the form of the prizes they win at events.
you probably just don't have anything to post
Lots of posts have been made with nothing of value in them...
Once again, helping people is one thing, but bragging about doing something is elitist.
I spend most of my time at league every week, doing nothing but helping people with decks(I'm lucky to get in a single game on most league days).
That's right, three hours gone and I normally pass up most of my few chances to play, just to help people(some of whom I've never met before and likely won't meet again) with their decks.
Let's just assume that your awesome statements automatically void out anything that anybody else has done for the game though since that seems to be your primary goal in the matter.
So fine, I conceed that a few articles that other people wrote automatically means that Ho Megas Alexandros magically used your bodies to post those articles and my earlier comment about him only contributing once is null.
Happy?
Okay, now that your obvious leetness of being able to transfer accomplishments has been established, let's move on.
This thread's purpose is to inflate egos.
. . .
If that was the only purpose of this thread, I doubt it would still be here(the leetism topic has been an off and on thing for years and somebody as leet as you should be well aware of that).
If you tried to talk to any one of them, I bet they'd talk to you quite reasonably...
Doesn't that just confirm earlier statements about people only saying something when they can hide behind a computer screen?
and are acting superior to those who JOKE about being elitist.
Wow, there must be some really worthless comedians on Pokegym for some of those posts to be considered jokes.
If only there was some way of wrapping up a statement online that could let people know that it wasn't said in a serious manner... kind of like "j/k" or "lol" or maybe even "XD".
The truth is, a number of egomaniacal statements were made and now that people come under fire for them, you claim that they were jokes.
I mean nothing personal by this, but please just man up and don't make excuses for what was said.
However, judging by your stance on this subject, let's just say that everything I said earlier was a joke and not meant to be taken seriously(even though that is obviously not the case).
Wow, don't you feel foolish for debating against jokes now?
XD
Okay, I'm sorry about that last one, but you have been asking for that for a while now. lol
This thread's purpose is to inflate egos. You're inflating your ego by saying you don't have to stoop to inflating your ego... the 'leetists zomgeee!!!' are inflating their egos by joking and posting records, everyone's making themselves look better, no one here is innocent, we're all in the same boat so people need to GET OVER IT.
Second verse, same as the first.
I'm not saying that I am without blame in any way shape or form, but you are stating that you have done nothing questionable.
Now, which one sounds like somebody is having trouble getting over it?
Wait a moment...

Could it be...

To be honest, I would think it slightly odd if anybody here hasn't contributed to leetism in some form at some point in time.
Well, it looks like we have come to agree on something(despite your best efforts).

Badeaux: I openly admited I wasn't teasing when I posted that. If there weren't Pokemon players who had incredibly large egos, WHO would you and the rest of the pokegym members LOVE to hate??
As odd as it sounds, you have gained a little respect from me for that post.
You owned up to what you said and made a valid point without going on a rampage of screaming to do it.
By your own point it's obvious that you understand why there have to be people against those leetists.

Jeremy Badeaux - I bet I have met you. Were you the judge at Salem?
I didn't judge Cities this year, but I did judge at the Gym Challenges and the Regional(11-14 division of the judging staff at Regionals).
If you know Marvin and Stephano, you've probably met me once or twice(I'm the guy who tends to wear Munchkin shirts at events and my brother always wears a ballcap).
If it helps any, I was the guy who didn't play in the Delta Species prerelease in Salem(let's just say that I have standards on what I'll pay money for).
Oh yeah, I'm also the guy with the large six-sided dice(and a bunch of other dice).
To answer a slightly odd statement from earlier, yes, I have definitely run into a few gamers who are in desperate need of showers(yes, multiple showers).
Try demoing games for a company at a convention and running into somebody who hasn't showered since he got there... on day three of the convention. :nonono:
Deodorant /anti perspirant = good, but there are better ones than Axe and Old Spice(most people just buy into the insane commercials though).
