GOAT

The Last Dragon... "Leroy goes on a quest to achieve the highest level of martial arts accomplishment, known as "The Glow". As its name suggests, it is a mystical energy that can be tapped into by a martial arts master. When a fighter's hands glow, he is one of the best in the world. When his entire body glows, he is the greatest fighter alive." It just struck me funny since the cheater was using glow sticks... seems like he was on a quest for "The Glow".. Sho'Nuff of Harlem Socom... This was Leeroy's arch nemesis.. The last dragon... simply a classic in terms of Martial arts flicks..

Was that guy's name Bruce Leeroy?? Sho nuff!!! LOL.

Thanks for all the kind words fellows.... Don't hesitate to call on me if I'm around and a problem comes up.. or you need someone to just come in a room after the game and listen to a debate on a issue. Socom I.D. -G.T.O-

LOL!!

Totally agreed, even in a game that gets started in a fair and honest way,,, things go bad as soon as one side or another starts winning... someone on the losing side leaves and is replaced by a lagging, glitching, switching. Biatch!... Stick with UF teams and their rooms or play only in rooms with players or teams you know to be honest.. DON"T hesitate to vote these pinheads that enter and start their cheating machine up...

OH man!! LOL!! that was great Havoc!.. you had me going for a bit there... I actually was starting to feel bad for ya... I'd try that with my wife... but I like my balls. Speaking of my wife... Our 17th anniversary was last month on the 23rd.. we had a nice dinner out and I tried to be romantic.. We got reminiscing about when we met and I told her; Baby, Ever since I first laid eyes on you, I've wanted to make love to you really badly. She said "Well, you succeeded".... several times... I told her "OK that's fixing to change! Tonight I am going to make you the happiest woman in the world. She said "I'll miss you." I told her " you know let's try to bring back that newlyweds feeling... we could try swapping positions tonight?" She said" That' a good idea.. you do the dishes while I sit on my ass and play video games" Since then, I haven't spoken to my wife in over a month,... ... she just hates it when I interrupt her. bada bing...

OMFG!!! I just about fell out of my chair on this one Sid, that look on JT's face his classic!! Man! Great image! LOL.

Shaking that tree boss.... Shaking that tree!!

Unfortunate as the final outcome of UF3 is, I think for the clans that participated and played with a perhaps different set of values it was still very much a success. It was at the foremost ideal in the desire for my clan PBK to participate here that we gain the opportunity to meet other individuals as well as their corresponding clans that tend to hold to a different ideal of what a winner is and perceive honor to be more important then a position in a tournament. Notwithstanding the esteem of placing highly in a game of competition and the rewards it brings, we sought to be involved with players that put more emphases on the way they play then the final outcome. During the course of our involvement for myself and my clan, Urgent Fury did not let us down. I found myself highly recommending to other clans and players who atone to this train of thought to come here and become involved. It seems these days in almost every game I play in Socom online, with unfamiliar players the same circumstances occur. Join a game with a group of players you are unfamiliar with and how many times does the following occur. Your team is playing great, getting good clean kills and winning by playing smart and tactfully. Suddenly things start to go wrong, the mikes began to not work, the other teams players start to disappear and reappear on the map they become impossible to kill and suddenly your great game has an uncanny lag to it. What has happened? By playing good the opposition refuses to admit they have been simply outplayed, therefore you have been deemed to obviously be cheating of some nature and since you must be using a lag switch of some sort it is now Ok that they do to. The players that may not do this have left the game long ago and now are replaced by players who admittedly play with gadgets that give them an unfair advantage. Any thought of fair played has been tossed aside and replaced by a cheaters smorgasbord of slithering slight. Why? Because you were winning and we all know that to win on Socom must mean you cheat?? How sad indeed that this is the mentality of the majority of players online in Socom. Have you ever been on the side of a team that is winning and hear the proclamation that the other side must be cheating? Not likely. The fact is that Socom is flawed, it’s not perfect. Lag on the internet and the corresponding latency occur and sometimes that is simply the way it is and is not any one persons fault. The difference is do you leave a game you are losing in. Do you perceive any notion of having a bad night as the fault of someone on the other team? Some nights it all works great for you and other nights not so much. If you really feel you are in a game that in unfair then leave, but at least have the decency to complete the game before you do. You will never hear me proclaim an accusation of cheating during play. I do not participate in banter of this nature. If I feel this way, I will continue to play and be dammed with the stats. When the game is done I will simply look for a different room in which to play. I will never result to the use of any device that’s give me a unfair advantage no matter what I feel is being done by the opposition. Two wrongs does not make a right. (But three lefts does! LOL) Why do I feel Urgent Fury was a success? Because I have met other players who feel the same way I do. Those that hold honor to be more important then a statistic. Those that play the game without any thought of cheating no matter the outcome or the perception of what the other team may be doing. Those that accept defeat and those that relish victory but only if that victory was done by honor. For me, I thank you for playing the game the way it should be played, for the fortitude to play without regard for others divergence. For the resolve to stare down the face of deviation from honor and to simply walk away allowing the cheater the misconceived notion of a victory. At my dojo I tell my students the following ideal repeatedly: “when you know…truly know you are the better person.. then it no longer becomes necessary to prove it.â€

Apologies Six pack, I see you and Tow and others worked it all out. I didn't mean to cast any dispersions by my comment. Also Chilli,, dude I HEAR YA!! I can't say I'm not part of the problem myself.. lately it's been Tiger Woods or Oblivion or Gears of War or a host of other games that when I get to turn on the PS I tend to put those disc in.. It's been a week since I've signed on to play any Socom, Lately I've been playing Tiger woods with my crew, its sort of fun to just lay low and play some online golf with my clanmates. Although I do miss fraging folks... the other day I shot the driver and the ball line drive'd right into a bystander's balls, He moaned and then hit the dirt grab'n his crotch.. I thought to myself.. "hell he's lucky I didn't do that with the IW-80! LMFAO!!"

Socom, Oblivion, Resistance, Gears of War, Tiger Woods, ... etc. etc.. Who the hell has time for regular TV? LMAO! I don't think that any of my TV's have been switched off of the PS's or the X-box's input for quite some time. I'm wondering why the heck I'm even paying Direct TV anything?? Oh yea OK boxing, Basketball, Hockey etc.. I guess I still need Direct TV.

Ok, and sorry for the new thread, I couldn't find any other thread on this that wasn't already closed.. and also excuse me if all of this is old news, it's been awhile since I had time to read thru the post. But, Holy sh*t!! Red cell isn't no longer? APC removing themselves and then the reps bringing em back? Behind the scenes pm's on new tourneys? Complaints and whining?? what the hell? Isn't it bad enough that zippy is fluking up this game!! that Socom is being killed by incompetency? That error 38 is a mystery onto itself.. ? The only reason I even still try to play is because all of you!! When you meet other folks that play solely for the love of the game and the comradeship then it makes it all worth it. I just want everyone to realize that the players here comprise the majority of what honor in Socom is about and it's that honor in play that keeps this game alive. Find a way to smooth out minor differences and don't fall victim to pernicious rivalry. Socom is what we make it. Again apologies if this all old hat, I just would hate to see it all fall apart. PBK is still mostly absent from current activity.. without a playing base of members recruitment is a moot point and I don't want to have players join under any misconception. Although myself, Nelz, kronas, spud and a minority of others still play we will not be applying for tournaments that we cannot assure a available full squad for. PBK may actually be looking to merge with another clan that may be having some difficulty as well along these lines.. still keeping the faith Goat.
