other guy is losing (2 gated cross positions on othello, ^^) and keeps asking best rank then our norse friend said he's C- max rank, trying for C, and the kid laughs and is like "No, no, you are C+ or better" as if his losing record at D rank entitles him to fairly gauge other players' skill | ||

Everyone on the internet has ego insecurities and if you start being pretentious they'll jump at you. Not just on blogs/internet. Tall Poppy Syndrome + Show Spoiler + Tall Poppy Syndrome (TPS) is a pejorative term used in Australia, and New Zealand to describe what is seen as a levelling social attitude. Someone is said to be a target of tall poppy syndrome when his or her assumption of a higher economic, social, or political position is criticised as being presumptuous, attention seeking, or without merit. Alternatively, it is seen as a societal phenomenon in which people of genuine merit are criticised or resented because their talents or achievements elevate them above or distinguish them from their peers. | ||

If the ranks are so fucking important to someone that he feels the need to fetch the pitchforks and torches when someone claims to have C+/B rank, some serious introspection is needed... People constantly pull shit with ranks such as inflate them or project them. And in this case, the OP was begging for the harassment. But I do agree people could at least tone it down a notch overall. | ||

If you can't see that I pity your empty soul Varying interpretations don't necessarily indicate anything, trolling around on these forums looking for people to harass. You didn't have to reach to find this one... it really stood out hehe And if all you can take pride in is your iCCup rank the people trolling may not give a crap about their iccup rank... the two are unrelated, and you feel threatened by some random guy on the internet wanting to share what brigthened up his day In most cases that's not what it is, I truly feel sorry for you. Are you going to call these people names or feel sorry for them? Choose one or the other... you can't have it both ways. I know now that I simply shouldn't bother to post anything here. Sounds reasonable to me. Go along with your day now, nothing to see here. Sorry, emorage'd. Apparently. | ||

Anyways, dont worry so much of what the haters think, but play more games, and you will soon find your ICCUP rank, and then people can debate on wether that is your "real" rank or not. Sometimes though I tend to play fairly good games, but other times, I swear that if I saw my own replay, and didnt know it was me, I would bet I was like d- or something, and other times, I might guess a C.. Dont quite know where im going with this, but liquibition starts in 5, so I killed a few mins atleast | ||
