ph4nt0m I agree with Greywolf that yes, it is just a game and yes, we do do this thing we do to get away from the every day stresses of life, but that said, everybody still have a certain amount of competetiveness in them lets face it nobody plays to lose, On that basis it's difficult to name certain players that dominate or are better or worse than others, we do have some fantastic players here at XI that not only play well, but also encourage others to up there game to try to beat them on the odd occasion, my own personal game has improved tenfold over the last few years but I put that down to the peers that I play against, In my mind it really depends on the server you play and the gametype, we have certain members that excell in a particular game type so would be pretty much impossible to name them all for every game type, We are only as good as the peers that we measure ourselves against. That, Phantom, Is exactly the response I was looking for. I couldn't have said it better myself. While I really don't care if I win a map, I still get very competitive inside the game. The quality of the player I am trying to get is the bar I measure myself, so I up my game at least for that situation! Again very well said!

I see some didn't comprehend my purpose for making this post to start with. It has nothing to do with how we view ourselves, but the respect we give to our fellow gamers. The question isn't am I the best but who do I think is the best among my peers,. It wasn't for anything but an conversation piece and furthermore I have always promoted fun and laughter on any server I have ever been on. My point is was and still is medals don't make you the best out there. I wanted to see what players others considered the best in their eyes to give each of them a pat on the back and say good job. I could absolutely care less if I win any maps but I do play only for the fun and fellowship with my friends! If you don't believe me just take a look at mt k2d ratio! I know most players do not want or need any recognition but it still is a very good way to llet them know we notice!

Most every time I get on the COD4 ACE MOD someone is flipping me shit. I believe that most of us encounter that. Thats a major part of what makes this game so attractive to all of us Idiots. One player makes a statement that he/she are going to make another player pay for something they did. Sometimes they do make them pay and most times they don't. This brings to mind a few questions about each of us as players. We all like to think we throw down with the best. The thing is in a tourney only one man wins. Does that mean they are the best player of the tourney? Where I am coming from with this is, well let me use myself for am example. I make my living using a knife on the server, and I lead the leader board with by far the most knife kills. I do not say that as a braggart but with humility because I know several players that are much better with the knife than I am. Just because I own a medal does not mean in anyway I am the best in my trade. Now lets say whomever wins the computer that is up for grabs, will that make them the best player of the tourney? Maybe, but we may never really know that answer. So fore the time being we all love to put our two cents in. So tell me who you think is the best player is and most importantly is have the facts to back up your case! So with out further delay I leave this in you Idiots hands!

Your laying on your back and throw it straight up and it reaches the height it can go and comes back to you!

I just want to say to you redrum your so fun to play against you always treat me sp sweet and I really appreciate it and I wish you a very happy birthday!

BudSr Both are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO you! lmao!!!

SgtHarryWeezer I don't know why couples marry these days, never mind the tax advantage. I have two daughters; one has divorced twice and the other is in the process (my wife and I have been married 40 years.) It's a different time, marriage has lost respect as an institution and it seems couples are better off dispensing with the ceremony and just shacking up. I know you were looking forward to this Dean and hope the best for you. Just keep slamming it in the bathroom door. I agree Harry and you know what the funny thing is I joined a dating sight just for the hell of and I am simply amazed how many women have hit me up on there. One thing most all of them say they don't want any games , right? Well when you start talking to them all they do is play games. Another thing I have been hit up by many married women who want a just for sex relationship and you must keep it quiet. I have come to think that we as men have gotten so in tune with the provide for our own that we have neglected the other side of a relationship: the personal touch that women need from us! BTW I have received over 2000 messages from women just in the Seattle area alone, in less than 6 months!

I am newly divorced and thank God to be rid of that crazy bitch. I was with her for 28 yrs and a couple days. I was raised when two people was married it was for life. Well it didn't happen that way. At the moment I have no plans to ever re-offend. Tho I do have a question for those who are supposedly in the know. What does it really mean when somebody says they have a soul mate? There is a verse in trhe Bible that says, "What God has put together, let not man put apart." It seems obvious to me that me and the x were positively NOT soul mates.

Shadow believe when I say I for one do understand about how things in and around your life sometimes just falls apart at your feet. I can also tell you that mine has began to start looking very rosy as things are working very well for me at the moment! So just hang in there and we will put our robe of patience on and I wanna cut your sweet ass again so I hope and pray you have a speedy return to the normal life you desire!

Well the real reason was it weren't tea at all it was piss and that was the reason the fly was there so she knew when it didn't smell dif that it was the same cup!

Anyone who has played with me knows I love to play this game. I just play it a different way. Now I am a fairly good player when I decide to have a strategy where I sneak around and get in strategic locations on anygiven map, but I just do not get much enjoyment out of shooting anyone when they walk by. I try it every once in a while just to see if maybe I found what I don't have, fun playing that style. I like to be the crazy raging idiot on the map they everyone else has to account for, or they just may loose their family jewels. I have been accused of being a hack, and after a friendly reminder to the accuser, that they should look at my kill to death ratio, they decided they had reacted in haste. I have been knifed myself by beginners and yes it is a little embarrassing but it happens to the best of players. In my mind the style I choose is probably the toughest of any, with the exception of the snipers, on the run and gun servers. I run head first into gun fire and many times die doing such, but then many times I get the knife kill. That's when I hear the term "bull shit". I just smile and sometimes I say, "Thank you!." Most of the time the pace of the game is so fast I don't have time to respond at all. I am just having fun. Now having said all that here is what I want you all to know and understand. There are those of us that play this game with severe handicaps. Most of the players with disabilities will never give you a clue as to their limitations but I know several players whom have as severe if not worse than mine. I can notn speak for them, but I know how tough it is for me to play the way I do and still play. I have carpul tunnel syndrome. Most days I do pretty good unless I over do, although there are days when I can hardly push the keys on the keyboard. I find it interesting when other plkayers getr a special thrill out of cutting me! They don't know that I am basically struggling just to play this game I love and to be with a community of friends I have made a lot of friends in. I here derogatory remarks made about another player all the time, that has some real obstacles to over come just as many others do, in this players case they play their style simply because they can not play the run and gun any other way. Now I must admit people, there was a time I was saying the same things, then one night he and I talked when no body else was on the server. He only told me just a little of his challenges but I have a special gift of empathy and i knew what the rest of the story was. Later he confirmed it to me. I since have a great respect for my friend. So people and friends just remember that not everything is as it seems. One more thing, I did not write this to look for any sympathy but just so you might understand the world, as well as the gaming world, has many various type of players and thank God because it it didn't and we all played the same way, it would be boring. The next time you see me running around like a mad man just say, "Thank God he fan at least run on this game."

pwrcrzy52 - Subject: Nymphomaniac Convention A man boarded an airplane and took his seat.. As he settled in, he glanced up and saw the most beautiful woman boarding the plane.. He soon realized she was heading straight towards his seat ... As fate would have it, she took the seat right beside his.. Eager to strike up a conversation he blurted out, "Business trip or pleasure?" She turned, smiled and said, "Business. I'm going to the Annual Nymphomaniacs of America Convention in Boston " He swallowed hard. Here was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen sitting next to him, and she was going to a meeting of nymphomaniacs. Struggling to maintain his composure, he calmly asked, "What's your business role at this convention?" "Lecturer," she responded. "I use information that I have learned from my personal experiences to debunk some of the popular myths about sexuality." "Really?" he said. "And what kind of myths are there?" "Well," she explained, "one popular myth is that African-American men are the most well-endowed of all men, when in fact it is the Native American Indian who is most likely to possess that trait. Another popular myth is that Frenchmen are the best lovers, when actually it is men of Jewish descent who are the best. I have also discovered that the lover with absolutely the best stamina is the Southern Redneck." Suddenly the woman became a little uncomfortable and blushed. "I'm sorry," she said, "I shouldn't really be discussing all of this with you. I don't even know your name.." "Tonto," the man said, "Tonto Goldstein, but my friends call me Bubba." Classic! Love it!

A whole lotta slicing and dicing goin on round here Bro. And we need some of your arse to fill the pot for the arse stew we're brewing up here! So hurry and come on back now ya hear? lol

Everyday we get up from our beds and start getting ready to facwe the day ahead of us. As we pause and view the image in the mirror looking back at us we all have thopughts about the image we see whether they be good or bad! For one second try to imagine if God or whomever or whatever you belive in gave you the power to change anything about you you wanted with no consequences what would you do? Just take a minute and realize the image you see is the person you have become like it or not. The one major thing I would do is get rid of about 175 lbs and make myself a lot healthier in the process! Now I'd like to hear what each one of you are concerned with when you see yourself in the mirror!

If I was to ask you what your definition is about what a good player on COD4 here most would probably at first thought think about some of the players that win more often than others. I beleive there are far more critical thinking attributes that define what a good player to this game. Please tell the rest of us just what you consider a good player too be. Then I will post what I consider a good player to be!

Smurf! I am going to school with a young man from the netherlands and he speaks fondly of his native homeland. I have learned a lot about your homeland and have grown to have a much greater respect for her as I have much nore knowledge about her now, anyhow welcomr to the servers and most of all have fun!

Damit1 Any Idiot can run around with a knife....Heck I'm proof of that Damit! But..... have you ever tried a spork??? I've been told I should have a spoon But haven't heard the spork angle yet! HMMMMMMMMMM Intersting you cut their balls of then eat them in front of them LMAO!

Hey guys I am not wanting everyone to stp playing their games but to understand what we knifers do is DAMNED HARD! I have just been having a real bad time lately and just needed to relieve some built up steam! Thanks for listening!

I am a knifing idiot, by nature, and it comes with side effects that are not fun. I have noticed lately when I come into a COD4 Ace Mod game the at first everybody is playing and shooting from all over the map. That is the way it is suppose to be and always has. Then after I knife a few people playing the stark raving mad idiot that I am, it all changes. Everybody and I mean every body goes and sits their arsr down in a corner and sits there waiting to shoot anybody that even pokes their head in the area where their at. This is because as I was told last night they are afraid of me. I take that as a compliment, but it has now changed from being fun to me padding ntheir numbers, and that is not even remotely fair play. First of all the gunner has every advantage as all he or she has to do is simply pull the trigger as I have to run at them in tjhe face of gunfire and stab them. Now I know I am really fast and some people actually can't see me when I rush them and I can run around them 3-4 times and they just sit there shooting hoping to get me with some lucky shot. If I stop behind them they won't even know where I am and I can cut them so easy. Now having said all that, guys this game is about having fun and relaxing after a hard day at whatever you do. Whether it be work, school, or play, you need to let it go. As a knifer if I get cut and I do I really don't care, but give me a chance if your a gunner. You have all the advantages and I play this way because knifing is a LOST ART in this game we all love. I die more as a rule than about anybody on here because of my gaming style. I never win a game and further more I don't really care to. Now I am aware of some of the comments made in game some good and some not so good: such as watch your ass Dean's in here,and god dam f--king knifers. These comments don't really bother me but the latter one inspires me to get the person that says it. Now as a rule I usually key on the better players(what makes a good playeris another topic I will give me opinion on at another time) I want to see if I can actually get close enough to cut their arse. If I do their whole attitude changes and the eay they play does too. They as a general rule, but not all the time sit in some corner also, so I can not get to them again. I will tell you from now on if I get the feeling all i am doing is padding their stats I will stop playing and go do something else and play later. That is the effects what I a simple lone player who never wins a game has on the attitude of a game. Now that I've had my say I will go sit in my corner and shoot you when you walk into my area! LOL

Hey ya'll I just received word that a dear friend of mine who has a stepson in his late teens killed himself today. Her husband who is in remission from cancer for 6 yrs is needing surgery on a bad foot and is out of work, Please keep them in your hearts as they desparately need it> Thank you!

Guys! I just want to say Thank you! This is where I belong and now I have come back home!

Tooooooooooooo funny! You made me laugh with that one!

I had the opportunity to watch something tonight that made me feel all warm inside. I was waiting at the bus station waiting on my transfer bus to bring me the last leg home form college. As I was sitting there, a woman came by and asked each one of us if we had a dollar she could use to get home with. Everyone said nothey didn't have even one dollar. Well so did this guy sitting there who looked like he was down on his luck also. When she first asked him if he had a dollar he said no. Then as an after thought he looked in his wallet and I heard him say he didn't remember he had it. He also said to himself just ever so audibly that it was his last dollar in his bankroll and everywhere. He chased her down and made sure she had her ride home. When he came back he had a very contented smile and I felt really warm inside. My question is this, if you had the same opportunity and it happened to you and you had one one dollar bill, would you or would you not give it to her> I answer that I hope I would but I also know there would be times I wouldn't!
