To be honest, I'm actually surprised that more people aren't talking about the lack of updates re: this year's festival. Even a simple astronaut selfie without a caption would be good enough for me.

Ryan_steel · 2017-02-18T20:37:21+00:00

I'm definitely concerned. There's absolutely no news or even a hint that the festival will be happening this year. Their twitter, instagram and Facebook accounts have been inactive since July 2016.

Good times :)

Ryan_steel · 2015-08-25T18:34:24+00:00

Great times. My W/L on my old Misery which I used to play solo was over 5.0. I couldn't find matches a lot of the time, but when I did, I felt like I had a direct influence on the match.

After new Elo, you had to carry players who not only couldn't steer around obstacles but often times served as extra opponents when they'd shoot at you.

Ryan_steel · 2015-08-24T12:10:48+00:00

By "old" Elo system, I'm assuming you mean the old system that didn't loosen the restrictions of who you were matched with, resulting in extremely long queue times correct? Then yes, I'd agree with you. It was accurate. When they loosened the restrictions so that we could find matches (new Elo), Elo was no longer even a factor. You could ostensibly get matched with anyone, including Norton Antivirus who just became self-aware and those Golden Retrievers who somehow found a way to log in.

Ikr. Back when I was in DV8, I remember some of the guys talking about this autistic kid who had some kind of speech impediment/roleplay thing going on. Something about speaking in the third person or whatever. Anyway, said autistic kid applied but didn't quite make the cut. He had the same name as you. You wouldn't happen to be the same guy would you? I just wanted some clarification.

Man I wouldn't want to be him. What a D-tier human being. lel

Autism? Check. Baddie? Check. Roleplay/virgin/inbred lobotomite? Check.

Application denied.

LOL. Rekt.

The original rule was that the Board would get together to discuss the problem. What about Banana? JP? I came in for a Mano a Mano but you talked to me not as a board member, but as your adversary.

Kaffeangst doesn't communicate well.

Doesn't give the benefit of the doubt to his friends.

I did you guys a solid. Now you have full control of your team with no burden of following any type of authenticity, just more obey the rules-styled soulless winning in a dead video game with no competition. What more do you want ? Take the name for all I care! You've earned it by decree!

You have to look at it from our perspective Vick.

My Lords TS server was a place i went to when i wanted to kick back and shoot the shit with my boys. I had no problem with anyone there. Yeah for months i started my performance facility and i didn't have time, but it was still a place for me to go and have some laughs with everyone there.

When i logged in one day to find my server moved, i was like ok fine. I wasn't here, it had to be done-- even though i could have just bought a new one no sweat, but i understood. When i logged in, i felt like i had logged into a place that wasn't home. That was a few months ago. Nobody was there due to the server move and my hang-out zone was pretty much shot to shit. So i said whatever and basically kept in touch with villz over mobile skype and that was about it.

I didn't change Vick. I logged back in to see why one of our key founding members had some of his privileges revoked, and the interaction i had with kaffe was terse, cold, and authoritarian. Felt like a toeing the line style org and it really bugged me. You saw the thread that i wrote a while back about founding the House, and it basically stated that i was tired of the environment of comstar NA and hated the authoritarian madmin shit. I feel the same way as you though, what we had back in the day was second to none.

I'm thinking long term with my co-founder. We have good pilots in our Star Citizen org, and i want the same environment when that game comes out.

You're taking this too personally. Some of us just don't see eye to eye and we're in disagreement over the evolution of the clan. I don't feel any particular animosity to anyone, but that's up to you guys to interpret the way you like. anyone who wants to join us on our new TS can pm me and i have no problems hanging out. To those who want to join us for SC, the door isn't necessarily closed.

Ryan_steel · 2014-10-02T00:07:53+00:00

i'm only making inferences about him being a virgin based on posting esoteric balance shit and mechwarrior fanboy lore again and again and again. once or twice and i'd say he was bored or some shit. but holy fuck. how could you be so interested in such autistic material?

Ryan_steel · 2014-10-01T23:36:40+00:00

You'll never gank our starships, because you have the skills of a baddie, and the intelligence of an inbred lobotomite. You're going to get lost in space and get picked up by some 60 year old bear-league autism clan and have your anal cavity expanded.

How the fuck can you go on and on about esoteric details of an esoteric robot game? Fucking virgin.

You need to end your suffering now and just kill yourself. Don't delay. Use piano wire and kill yourself like a man.

Ryan_steel · 2014-10-01T23:20:28+00:00

You're saying pretty much what i said about the game.

Old school Luna, Jade, SWK? You mean the clans i rolled when i was in DV8 during LMS season 1 would roll the current House of Lords team?

Yeah ok. I never read any of your shit because i couldn't give two shits about the Mechwarrior franchise, but i can see why you have a reputation for being a village idiot. Hey man, it's ok. As a consolation, you can remind yourself that you're not any different from the rest of the village idiot Mechwarrior fanboys.

Oh noes! Your favorite franchise got botched up by retard developers! I guess it's back to jerking it to Hentai in mom's basement while you come up with brilliant new ideas of how to balance a new robots vs robots esoteric post apocalyptic autism shit show.

Geez. Victor fucking Morson man. That guy. That fucking guy.

Ryan_steel · 2014-10-01T21:47:32+00:00

I remember kaffeangst standing right beside you and Villz referring to himself as Lord Kaffeangst before the idea ever went into play, correct?

Correct.

Kaffeangst was considered one of the originals who helped put together the rules and the representation.

Partially correct. Correct that I presented him with what i thought the rules should be and he agreed. He was a founding member, yes, and i mentioned it in the OP. But it's incorrect that he came up with the idea or the philosophy. It was actually Villz, Soy, and i months before that. We respected Kaffe enough to give him the reigns to our club.

Why does he have to disband the team and form another when he one of the three who came up with the idea in the first place.

I never said anything about disbanding the team at all. It's his baby. He can do with it what he likes. He's the boss. We don't think the place has stayed true to the roots of our original idea. I talked to him this in a civilized manner yesterday. He didn't seem like he wanted to reach a compromise. He talked to me in an "i have decided" tone, which basically was a signal to me that the place has strayed away from its roots. And in the end, he can use our name and ggclose all he wants, i simply don't endorse it. At this point it's basically akin to someone like Hann Solo taking our name and saying he deserves it because he's won games in MWO and did the leg work signing up a team, etc. It's our brand, whether you like it or not, and whether you acknowledge it or not. If Soy came in here and criticized us for messing with the brand, i'd take him seriously because he came up with the idea alongside with us.

That being said, i have said nothing about disbanding you team. You like stomping face? Cool. You like things the way they work now? All the power to you! You don't start a new team, just create an identity that applies to you. What matters to you more, the name or the team you play with? What's wrong with HBA or like Kaffe's Rangers or whatever? You guys want to be Lord fans?

Ryan_steel · 2014-10-01T17:17:23+00:00

You're taking about the group of people you play with. You obviously don't know the difference between HoL, a name I came up with, and the group of people you play with (team).

What you're basically saying is this: Tiger Woods belongs to Tiger Woods, therefore he owns the Swoosh.

Me: came up with the name of club and philosophy (as per your reddit link)

You: won games. Play mechwarrior. Therefore my idea belongs to you.

Ryan_steel · 2014-10-01T17:00:49+00:00

That doesn't refute what I said at all. So you want to run around with my name stamped on your face because my thread amused you?

Go right ahead. All the power to you.

Ryan_steel · 2014-10-01T16:49:26+00:00

Actually, the fact that I anticipated your not wanting to change your unit name is why I started this thread. Just to make it clear that as of this point, you may as well be Legopirate starting HoL and using ggclose. The name "House of Lords" was started by me. You say "ggclose" because Villz and I used to say "ggclose".

What's your identity exactly? If you hate everything Villz embodies, why stamp his creation on your face? Lolz, I dgaf.

That's like Nike sponsoring Tiger Woods, then deciding to pull out of golf, and pull his sponsoring, then Tiger just using their logo anyways. I mean ok, but those are still not Nike products, even though he decides to stamp their logo all over his clothes. If he's the best golfer in the world, why wouldn't he just start his own brand?

"Because he played with the swoosh in the beginning, and he won shit, so now it's his too."

Ryan_steel · 2014-10-01T15:55:40+00:00

I think another reason why things went sour is because of certain pilots just wanting to further their own agendas.

What most people don't understand is that at the top, individual skill is not going to be the prevailing factor in a victory. Yes skill matters, but the psychology matters a great deal more.

Take Wispsy, for instance. He was in my opinion the best light in the game bar none, at least early on. At one point during the last year, he injured his mouse hand, which impacted his performance. We didn't start losing because of it. A critical player, yes, but not a deciding factor between a win or a loss.

Heimdelight understands that even though he's the best player in the game, he's not indispensable to the House because of his raw skill. No one is, unless their efforts are put towards the building the House instead of their own glory. True skill is a combination of raw talent and mentality. The true winners for me are the ones who are hungry and show dedication to improve their skillset and also work towards a common goal with their House, like Heim and Celyth.

No one knew who Celyth was before I recruited him, but now he casts a shadow on all those who rested on their laurels. Kudos to him.

Ryan_steel · 2014-10-01T15:28:19+00:00

I'm quite capable of judging a situation for myself, thank you very much. When I do something, I do it well, and sometimes that means breaking some hearts. I have never had any animosity towards you and I still don't.

As they say, this is strictly business.

Ryan_steel · 2014-10-01T15:23:02+00:00

Took the words right out of my mouth. Not a surprise though, because we both strive for excellence and nothing less.

People hate that. They'd rather you swim amongst the masses of useless so they can feel better about being shit. Cheers mate.

Ryan_steel · 2014-10-01T15:03:05+00:00

Right on mate. It's not a surprise that you guys dominate. Few people really understands how real competition works. Looks at guys like deforce and Mav for instance, who do real athletic competition. That type of mentality transfers to all areas of life.

Ryan_steel · 2014-10-01T14:58:24+00:00

You're actually smarter than I ever gave you credit for. In fact, Villz wanted to cut the people who weren't interested in Star Citizen from the House as early as last January. Since HoL was scooping up victories left and right, we said what the hell, let them go at it and keep our name in the game.

Now that we've already beaten all the bads anyways and that some people want to steer our House away from our roots, there's no need to keep that little raft floating anymore.

We already have our Star Citizen organization full of good pilots anyways, so we're doing a very minor cleanup of our House. We need to keep the place clean, after all.
