get it out of your system. you dont actually have to retire, but this will save us a lot of useless reading, and when you do actually retire, just link this thread (like that will ever happen!)
Retiring from a video game is gay. lol

so would not reading the retirement threads if it bothers you so much... it's not like these forums are swamped with posts, is it really that big of a deal? Some of these people have been playing with each other for years, what's the harm in letting them say goodbye? It's much better than just dissapearing, leaving the community wondering where they went.
agreed
also, its not like YOU HAVE TO read all the retiring threads

Good point. It's not the threads so much that i dont like, its when they make a thread and there back in about a week playing and then they'l leave again and make another whole thread about it. <--- (hasnt happened in a while but just giving a point)

the sarcasm of this post was missed it appears. at any rate, most of the time the threads are dubiously named, and upon clicking on it, the word "retirement" kinda SCREAMS at you. it always begins with some stupid ass soliloquy* which is intended to sound "profound" but is just horrendiously stupid and gay. it then goes on to reflect on how much an impact either the person had on the game or the game on them (which is in most cases moot), a bunch of "ggs" to a bunch of people, and a promise that they are "moving on". ive seen that automatic "stupid post" crituqe thingy they have.. they must have one for "retirement" threads too.

right, and nothing is hurt by that, so just don't worry about it...

oh yea, and now you say you were sarcastic... even though you continue to back it up...
One thing to say...Crooked for your sake shut the fuck up before you get yourself pwnt, yeah i quit but you dont have to jump all over me for it, one thing your a newb ass Bootcamp player take your head out of your ass pull up your panties and play something with some ACTUAL COMPETITON maybe arena duel or if your really shitty in skill try CTF

But as for flameing on people who are leaveing this game you only prove one thing, your a weak 12 year old who thinks he is bad when he tough talks people who arnt paying attention, so i say to you Keep it shut or your mothers gettin one in her butt

sheer idiocy ladies and gentlemen. and an obvious lack of knowledge on what my "n00b ass bootcamp" entails. ill leave that alone. there is no reason to discuss certain things with idiots who have no comprehention on whats being discussed in the first place.

secondly, this was a very general thread. i "backed my sarcasm" because people missed it. you see, sarcsm is generally subtle. those who get it get it, the rest need a lot of background.

thirdly, "shut the fuck up something something pwnt". thats just stupidity. i never called you out, but im glad to see that i pegged it so closely you got offended.

Do you know what sarcasm is? Generally when people say something that is "sarcastic," they don't mean it literally. The fact that you still support the "sarcastic" statement, means that it wasn't sarcastic.
hrm, i failed to find your phrase "they dont take it literally" in the definition!


Main Entry: sar·casm
Pronunciation: 'sär-"ka-z&m
Function: noun
Etymology: French or Late Latin; French sarcasme, from Late Latin sarcasmos, from Greek sarkasmos, from sarkazein to tear flesh, bite the lips in rage, sneer, from sark-, sarx flesh; probably akin to Avestan thwar&s- to cut
1 : a sharp and often satirical or ironic utterance designed to cut or give pain
2 a : a mode of satirical wit depending for its effect on bitter, caustic, and often ironic language that is usually directed against an individual b : the use or language of sarcasm


my point? you missed the sarcasm becuase youre one of those who just dont get it! its okay, as i said, there are many who dont!

TooCrooked just shut up already. If a dude wants to retire from a game, then let him. Don't be a fucking prick and think your hot shit by saying it's stupid. You people need to learn some god damn respect.
respect from retiring? please.

well, if they have the right to "retire" from a game, then i have the right to have my reservations about it (and of course post about it in any satirical or serious form i please).. i will apologize that i accidentally rubbed you the wrong way, but i will not lie and say it doesnt put a wide smile on my face.

hey, look on the bright side - if you ever want to retire, you can do it right here! and people will probably care just as much as if you did it in your own thread!
