I'm gonna be honest here, mocking bad players is passable, but posting a list of gamertags of players you guys dominated on live is a bit too low for gaf. Not cool.
That couldn't be farther from the truth in all honesty. Some pretty low stuff goes on in these forums...

I agree with this. Mainly because while you guys are going out of your way to dong you really dont know if the people your playing against give a damn in that game. For example if you guys met me in casual matchmaking I probably wouldnt bother, if its a mate at my house playing im quite honestly happy for them to go neg 30 on my account as long as they get a laugh out of it. Dont get me wrong, on Halo 3 or CoD im a bit more serious about my stats, with with Reach its like meh. Doesnt mean I want my GT plastered on the internet though.

Matchmaking in Reach is pretty casual, if you guys are going out of your way to win thats cool, but just remember most of the guys your donging might play well in customs or when it counts but probably couldn't care less that particular game.

That said, KyleJ, Juices, we need to go play Black Ops, there are a bunch of bk's to cleanse on that. :p
The whole point for most people is to win...in almost all video games. Going out of your way to win?????? What a ridiculous thing to say.

So you are saying that it counts to win in custom games, but not in matchmaking games? For me it's the other way around. Your stats don't matter in custom games because your custom game stats aren't generally accurate since a lot of custom games are random or strange gametypes.

Is it better to get a Perfection or to be the guy, that through sheer force of will and perseverance, manages to kill the guy who is going 15-0?

Fuck the people that intentionally go for people on streaks. When Community BTB was a playlist I would get on Killing Frenzies and Running Riots, and suddenly because the message appeared in the bottom of their screen I'm the biggest target in the map. Grenade spam galore and ARs aren't the things you want to see on a 15-0 game.

Hierarchy? How are we supposed to establish a hierarchy here if lists of names are not tolerated?

Also: PonyGAF? Sometimes I'm glad I'm a junior...and that this is the only thread I read.

That's fantastic logic. Good job Jeremy.
I have no idea what this post means... I don't even know why you quote my posts tbh. You always reply with pointless banter and crap.

I'm serious though. Take a step outside the Halo threads. There's lots of low stuff on these forums.

Lol. You say that as if it somehow justifies what goes on here. The fact that you believe you are on some imaginary pedestal that HaloGaf can do wrong simply because there is worse around is, like I said, fantastic logic. Stop taking everything so seriously and you'll realise we're all in the same boat on these waters.

Edit: Lost my train of thought :lol

I'm unclear, exactly, why you're a junior.

Your profile says you joined about a year ago - but I would swear I'd seen you before that. (Even with that, seems like a year's enough time to graduate to Member; the fact that I recognize your name says you post enough. :) )

Am I just confused... or did you somehow have an account before?

Exactly. What happens in the Off-topic threads is not a standard the Community threads should be lowered to.

It also takes 300 posts. And the "Join Date" is when you applied for an account, not when it was approved. I've only been a member since January, but I applied over a year ago and that's the date shown.

Your logic is even worse if that's what you derived my thought process to be. That is by no means me trying to justify anything. My whole point was that the statement of "that's too low for GAF" was ridiculous. There are way worse things on this forum than someone posting gamertags of people they have beaten in a video game. I never even said doing that was either good or bad.

Stop using awful logic to try and determine some underlying message in my posts. I dunno what I ever did to you, but you sure do love jumping on everything I say.

Jesus Christ. That is not what I was implying. You people are so sensitive.

I'm not sure if I'll ever shake the junior tag. I made someone angry a few months ago and am now thinking I've been hexed with junior status forever. If that's the case then I might as well try to be the best junior ever. Though I'm still trying to figure out what that would entail.

Woah, easy there cowboy. Jump on what you said? Or respond to post which I believed displayed silly logic?

Also, you might not want to open to my first reply calling my posts crap if you want anyone to believe what you say about whatever grudge you think I might have :p

It's true though. Like who the hell is Jeremy, and what the hell does that have to do with my post?

My post was 100% true. Much worse things happen on this forum. Just because I was pointing that out doesn't mean that I sanction "less bad" things that happen here. You are so quick to attack me it's ridiculous. Don't twist my words into things I don't actually mean to say. That's incredibly disrespectful, and yes I will defend myself by calling your posts "crap" if you don't explain them and continue to disrespect me. You called me an "asshole" the other day, and now you are getting salty because I said your posts are "crap." Really cool man.
 
I sure don't remember calling anyone an asshole... Oh shit.... You mean I played along to the pun of Captain Obvious by posting a pic of Major Asshole? Even though getting the joke meant knowing it was from Spaceballs so how you jumped on that being an insult is very disrespectful :p

Jeremy was a dude from E3. It was the Medieval demo for Kinect. I thought it would have been a meme with how often his partner had said that.

The seriousness in here... sheesh.

Actually I right-clicked the photo and saw it said "Major Asshole" under its info. But please, continue being a smart-ass and continue making assumptions that are incorrect. You are on a role.

Ramirez said:
lol really? I think it's pretty hilarious, it's not like these guys are physically harming the guys by posting their GTs. They're just being trolls, I don't understand why some of you take this stuff so seriously.

Looking at the NCAA league thread, I think some of you might seriously cry yourself to sleep if we trash talked like those guys. :p
Who hasn't told Dax he's shit at Halo in some way or other??? xD Seems a different situation having lists of defeated random's gamertags on display just for lulz.. I dunno, it just stood out to me as something of gamefaqs caliber that would make us all look a bit bad. But I honestly don't care enough to argue about it though.

Enjoy replying to yourself for a while then.

I on the other hand will be greatly relieved to finally use a function on this site that I have never used until today.

Posting an example of names of people who a HaloGAF team beat out of fun for a running joke is too low?

kylej was right, I think some of you need to lighten up. Maybe I have a thicker skin than most, which I already mentioned, but this place, for the most part, is fine.

I don't think enough people lurk here or post here for it to matter that Kyle is posting a list of people he donged. Sure it'll be embarrassing when one of us is on the list, but it'll also be really funny. It's not like he's encouraging us to send them messages about how they suck. I'm sure 99% of them don't even know about GAF.

Spaceballs is too good and/or bad to get this far in life without seeing once.

Also, ignoring isn't a fantastic feature in that all it takes is someone to quote the ignored and you see their posts. (o hai there kuryome!)
I keed of course.

So... I guess all is well?

Eh, really depends on the game itself. I don't go into every game attempting to get a perfection, nor do I actively seek out people on streaks, I just play to win. Of course, it's annoying as hell when I get to that point where I'm able to get a perfection if I just stay alive and then having their whole team nade spam the fuck out of me.

So...I'm still thinking of t-shirt ideas. I actually really like what Starcraft-GAF has been doing. They utilize the SC2 rank design in a cool way with the NeoGAF symbol. I was thinking maybe someone could do something similar with the Onyx rank (or other ranks I suppose...). Is there anyone here that is good at graphic design? I feel like we aren't being represented well enough so far in this. :(

Do the subsections of gaf need to agree on a single design? I sent my Halogaf one to Evilore right after posting it last night. He didn't say anything about it so I assume subcommunities can have multiple ones. I don't think Halogaf will ever agree on a single one with all the differents ways people here enjoy Halo.
