Thank you again for this cup Mario !
I would like to make a little statement, as I know Shortz is going to post something, the content of which I approve for the most part, but still :
- I found all the tracks really nice, yet I saw a lot of people complaining about HouseKeepR's one, it was personally one of my favourites of the competition !
- I saw a lot of people complaining about the choice of the tracks : I can't disagree, of course I didn't deserve to win at all and was surprised as I was sure popgun would win, of course Shortz track was the best, all you want more. But think about it : try to make your own top10, you'll see we'll almost all have different results. So again this selection is based on a subjective factor, I don't think this is what matters the most, because the popularity of a track won't come from the rank it got imo.
- The most important point : I didn't choose to win. It's not my fault, so I was very disappointed to see some people blaming it on my track, but even more on me. In more than 2 years playing, it's the first time I see people I don't know anything about insulting me and talking to me rudely, just because "my track suxx". I'm sorry but can't you act in a mature way ? I'm not known for getting angry for nothing, as I said to ign when we argued some months before, in the beginning I played I didn't even talk, just said hello and that was it. I don't come on a game to have stupid debates with even more stupid people. I was really hurt but the useless attacks I had this morning and this useless argue I had with some players (ZiZa [the French one] especially). It's easy to make your friends join your side. It's less easy to be objective. In order to resume : they said my track was shitty, which I didn't care, the main problem was that they repeated it every single minute and I started getting annoyed (and I can tell you it's already hard to get me annoyed). When they started saying the organization was shit and Mario was not a good cup-maker of course I took his defense, not because my track has won, and so they started a real, and it's not only an illustration, a real lynching against me, all French players against the French map-maker. 10 against one, very easy to decide who wins. How disappointing, really. Again I have nothing against TaF team, but come on, even people I liked (which is even more wounding) started to insult me or calling me a fool because I was defending my track and the competition. What I just say is that you can't say "this track suxx" (that's not what they say, they said it was "shit", but so...). The best way to express your mind, which is what you're in right to do I'm not a "dictator" like you called me, is to say "I don't like this track", which is how I always acted when a track didn't belong to me. Telling the entire world a track is shit in front of the author or even in his back is just a stupid and useless provocation. About the competition, as I told you and it's the same about the track, try to make such a thing, and we'll compare afterwards. People told there was no work on my track, no blockmix. Yes, it's true, popgun's track is better here, shortz and igntul should have been before me, again I totally agree, I would have preferred rank 5 or 6. But come on, I can't stop saying it : I USE CHALLENGE EDIT. Unlimited never worked on my computer, nobody tried to help me when I asked for it so I just left the idea to use it one day. I just can't be competitive anymore about that. So look at the track again, all those mixes you can't see and took me hours to make, that would have been easy with that program. Have some respect, it's not hard. It's too easy to criticize brainlessly, but try to have a fair statement now. About the fact that the track is too easy, it's a compliment to me. Mappers today seemed to forgot that easy tracks can exist, so "noobs" can finish too.
So yeah I'm really but really disappointed and sad about that last day. A cup should be a funny event, not an event where guys spend their days criticizing the mappers, blaming the organizers and looking for conflicts. I won't make a generalization, but some people just spent all day on tracks complaining about them, you could leave. Really you could. You knew there were way better drivers than you, so if you didn't have fun, you could go out. Of course (less) other people had fun and just raced and attacked time, had funny and decent conversations on the chat, but not everybody, sadly.
I really just write it because I never looked for any conflict on TM. Except a little event I had with igntul, never on Earth have I ever had rude argues with anybody, in real life or on TM. I'm someone always kind with people, ready to help them. Telling everybody, all your clan or I don't know what that I'm brainless and a big hater is just unfair. It's just a game, keep that in mind.
- Congratulations to Dawe for having won the cup I think he deserved it and at least here there's no question of subjectivity, skills have talked !
- Goodbye to igntul we'll miss you ;( ....
FAKE
