Top page history fact: Today, May 6th in 1875 the SS Ben-my-Chree, a paddle-steamer boat was launched from a port in Douglas, Isle of Man. It would have an uneventful 31 year term of service before being broken down for scrap.

Speaking of which I was just informed of the number of mod actions I have. Eek.

Their writing style is so similar I sometimes didn't even realize it was the other posting. Guess with the icon and writing style it's easy to get confused lol.

You cheated on me in a dream I had = you already have or will cheat on me IRL, asshole!
I think MMR resets are fun. It lets you feel like you're smurfing for a little bit without the 'harm'(subjective) of actually smurfing. Especially in games that use the system League made popular(lvl 1-30 to 'learn' the game before ranked becomes an option). Sure it creates some chaos to begin with because teams are a total crapshoot balance wise, but it works itself out.

Yeah, the chaos will be interesting, and more fun than normals probably. I'm sure there will be raging, but the tears will be delicious.

If less cancer is desired, then this sub forum needs to start chemo ASAP 'Tis is bad idea to venture out of the off topic thread into the other parts of TL LoL. I did that a few days ago and got a harsh reminder lol.

If less cancer is desired, then this sub forum needs to start chemo ASAP Essentially, favoritism for past staff has ended and there's little to no room for outright shitposting like what Roffles/Cheep have done over the past few months. Their premise was that there is often bad and inaccurate posts from other TL LoL users like Ketara, wei2coolman, etc that it somehow justified their ways of "toxic" posting to get their point across. I'll take the brunt of the blame with how the situation arose because I was simply too lenient with both parties. Like what Soniv mentioned, there are an alarming number of inaccurate posts in GD and that needs to end.
Feel free to report posts in GD about the game that don't make sense. The moderators obviously won't warn or ban a user for having an incorrect idea but it definitely should not be perpetuated further.

It's pretty cozy here.
I do appreciate we can have this conversation here though, fwiw
|
I still read GD, it's actually interesting sometimes. I vastly prefer this thread though.

So...apparently I'll be an uncle sometime near Christmas.

We should make a TL Smite subforum and make me and Soniv mods. I would be a kind, benevolent god mod.

Everyone should yell at Yango for saying we were going to do newbie/smurf stacks and then not doing them. What a jerk that guy is.

TL Smite subforum, also known as a conversation between you and Soniv.
Zing!

Eventually people will catch on to how fun this game actually is.

It's less about realizing how fun it is, and more about having to learn another MOBA.
I love dota, but I'm probably not going to start playing it much because I'd have to relearn everything. Smite wasn't too bad of a transition when I started on it because I jumped on in the first half of the beta, so there weren't too many gods and things to learn.

i doubt smite will get much bigger unless league dies
and when league dies i think there's a good chance wizard football dies with it
|
Smite is a pretty crappy game.
IMO.

wow roffles was probably the best poster in this subforum and he got banned fucks sake why dont we ban the true shitposters and not he funny but offensive posters
