Serious question, do people really quit playing Myth because of a person or persons? Or do people quit because on average there are 20 people online, 10 people afk, and 8 people playing Mazz or Trow/PG/Gimble? I find it hard to believe that users are fully entertained and enjoy playing the same maps for 14 years?
... snip ...
Anyways, GO GIANTS!

I vote with my feet very fast when the lobby or a game has one or more disagreeable people doing their best imitation of a spoiled 13 year old. Thats just one of course. There might be other grown ups here to though.

Apparently, Kirk made Babyshaker quit for good and now OM has made it his personal mission to constantly ban Kirk for no real reason, but to just ban him. Stuff like that kills myth, because Kirk will host games for ppl, and is a lot of fun to play with, but OM seems to think banning him and not letting him talk in the lobby is a good idea. I don't see your logic in talking about saving the community and getting more ppl to play when you want to ban players. Do you ppl seriously think there aren't trolls and ppl who rage out at other ppl on other games? That is just delusional. Probably the reason a lot of new ppl don't play myth for long is because they get sick of being raped by ppl that have been playing for 12 years and don't want to take the time to get good at it. Losing is not fun, so why not play something else? I highly doubt anyone has left myth just on the basis of being called a retard, and if they're really that fragile, well they shouldn't even go near the internet.

My good friend Pogue is one of finest people I have ever mythed with, and is one of the reasons I still log in regularly on an otherwise ancient game.

Even just an extra month keeping me around myth is much more important to the myth community than the hundreds of worthless and spineless newbs that Pogue has no doubt done a fantastic job in cleansing from the server.

At the end of the day my myth friends like Dac, Hadiez, pk, and, Dr. Giant Killer General, are all staples of this community, and make it a better place, and also good at myth...well mb not dac, but that's another story. Furthermore unlike spa and bonky they know what they're talking about and aren't to quote my late, dear friend alfi "griefers." I applaud you gentlemen, you make this game an absolute pleasure. I'd say lets hug it out with Spa but he has us all wanked LOL

I popped onto Mnet after the playoff game on Sunday, hoping to find others who were rolling up their sleeves for a game and gaming. Upon landing in the lobby, there seemed to be an all-too-familiar chat going on about how much America sucks in every way.

When tossing out a few silly quips - hoping to turn the tide towards something with less bile and hate-spewing - I unwittingly drew the attention of he who appeared to be the lynch-pin of the chat; Pogue.

With all of his venom at a fevered pitch, he (unprovoked) wheeled on me - challenging my choice to play mazz mostly, and to have wanked him at some point in the past - and he fervently launched into how retarded, senile, gay, moronic, worthless, .... (etc) ... I and my family are.

Withing a few lines of chat, I realized that it was futile and frustrating to try to chat with him, since every response was an ignorant and personal attack on my character, my family, my wife, my life in general. I opted instead to host a game, which filled up quickly and we played for hours.

I was just now sitting on the toilet - which I found to be a perfect time to reflect on the situation, and realized that I was wrong to think that Pogue acts this way because he is young/immature. I know nothing about how old he is, and would honeslty be surprised to learn if he is anything older than a teenager.

The truth is, I have a 12 year old son - who I do not allow to log onto Mariusnet (to avoid such ignorant and rude behavior) - and he is far more intelligent, rational, mature, and socially aware than I have ever seen Pogue be.

I know that Pogue, and those like him, have been banned repeatedly - and I am probably not the only host to have wanked him or muted him for cause. However, with the shrinking community - I guess you could argue - what's the point of banning someone?

I suppose my argument would be - the community has shrunk because of people like him. I personally know of a few dozen former myth players that would not bother returning because of the several dozen players that can't seem to figure this out.

My version of self-policing of guys like Pogue, dac, etc...is working fine for me. Mute and Wank offer me the blissful ignorance I seek on mariusnet....

.... but the fact remains - as long as people like that remain - many more won't.

at least pogue has the courtesy to act like he does on his own account instead of acting like a douche while hiding behind a dummy account like the rest of the idiot cowards.

Ur lies are nice little child looks like u still not changed anything.There was a rly good reason why kirk is banned its cause he hacked up babyshaker's acc and kicked evrybody out from babyshaker s clan try to lie better troller kid.
