As the title said I am about to start iccup. Unlike others who post blogs like these I am a true n00b. I doubt I'll stay above .500 at D level competition. So why am I blogging? To be able to keep track of my own progress as I improve(hopefully).
Edit: In response to Chill, I shall say that I have gotten on every once in a while before now, I've never done well, won maybe 1/4 of my games. Im going to seriously start now tho, playing many games a day.

Okay sorry to pick on you since you aren't first... but why does blogging help you keep track?

Oh great. This time you're not blogging to tell us how it's going, you're blogging to tell us you're going to be blogging.

I dont know...but I always find it amusing to leave something, where like, six months later you look back, and are reminded of how it was like. Also blogging helps me if I run into real trouble, like losing to 3 D- in a row.

I thought it was referencing the people spamming iccup to get it to fill up the sidebar.

This is out of hand. I blame people like you for ruining the blog section.

The point of a blog isn't a fucking diary, it's to write something that people will enjoy reading. Who wants to read that you're going to be playing ICC?

Ok fine. Close it.
Edit: One could argue the point of posting is to add something intelligent to a topic, a blog, whatever. You definitely do not always follow this rule, I don't think anyone does. However you don't seem to get pissed at yourself when you give one word responses.

Examples?

And there is very little responsibility to a post, he's just a drop in the bucket.

The topic-maker, however, holds a lot of responsibility in ensuring there's a point to his topic. Posting "ahahah" is fine, starting a topic "ahahah look at this" is not.

Yes I realize it was a random post in a blog. Yes I realize this is not a quality topic. But honestly I don't think its this big a deal. Close the topic, and move on in your life, instead of bitching about how I ruin the blog section.

We don't moderate blogs, so it wouldn't make sense for me to close this. All I can do to in trying to initiate change is tell you I think you're an idiot. You, however, have the power to ban me from posting in your blog.

K, see well I don't mind when people tell me that I am an idiot.
If you don't moderate blogs there is probably a reason.
Maybe its because I CAN use it like this if I wish.

You can do a lot of things in life.

That doesn't mean you should.

You're just getting defensive now.

Get over it and admit that you were wrong.

To get over the frustration of having a lot of people tell you you're stupid, play lots of iCCup and get really good.

Yeah I'm getting defensive. But I am not wrong. Not if this is a function of the system I can use. If chill wants to ban me, that's fine. I will be indignant about it, but not too upset.
But if not, then he doesn't have to post here.
