Never thought of the fact that it's the exception confirming the rule, Deky? And do you honestly think it wouldn't have surface by now if he was some ultra leet pro in disguise? Come on man, that shit got old last summer. It's not like Poland is this obscure Quake country with a minimal talent pool.

Sorry for ultra OT.

Oh and, for the record, he really is a very nice guy, despite what you might think of him from this little episode. One of the reasons it lasted this long was because he instantly connected with and made everyone like him in ANK. He's communicative, well mannered and cheerful, not to mention quite the player, instantly adaptive of tactics and understanding the nuances of team play.

I created perfect monster xD

It's obvious from all the sugarcoating here that it's intended for him to join ANK at some point, sooner or later. I actually understand trickz (as obnoxious as I might seem), he has improved volumes in Quake the last 6 months or so and wants to play in a clan that has top 3 ambitions. Nothing wrong in that, but there is a right and a wrong way in doing it. He obviously choose the wrong way and in the process fucked his clanmates over.

starting discussion: tr1ckz neutral referee?

Of course not.

It's a perfect example of pisspoor judgement (granted I understand the fact that no other ref's seemed to have been available).

Well Mirc, thanks for breaking it in a nutshell. Except for 2 days (wed + thu) it has been severely debated inside clan, with positive and negative points and then him stopping the recruitment drive for "personal reasons". And despite me being the person as close to heart aNk as they get, i cant say for sure if "sooner or later he will join", but thanks for clearing up, we must forget all intra-clan debating and just let him in now cos you said so.

As far as "neutrality of referee", that could be heavily debated, considering how you dont need to be in a clan to provide certain pro-or anti- support status. For example in clan a - clan b, Ref X could be from clan C, but still prefer clan A, and provide at least a positive opinion toward said clan with stuff like "gl dudes" and "hope you win" ... BUt it does not matter, simply cos all ref does is checks pb+pure and player list, then makes a multi-pov demo. Its not like in football, where ref has to make decisions regarding the game or make actions which could massively change the flow of the game.

p.s. im the jew who sent w4m the full tag, BUT the clan has been massively centered on xXx team (we are all either xXx members, relatives of xXx members or in 9's case, a player who half of aNk knew and another grew to like and respect, so we agreed back in december to not have any sort of demeaning trainee program due to all joinees being long-time trustees of our entity... w4m was first real dude from oustide with any interest in joining the clan... so what never applied before applied now for the first time, and so i sent him tag, and i still am behind this decision cos its better in fw to have all normal tags than shitty white ones. My only regret is when in a DA fw from last friday (before the one in Reno's screenshot ), someone from DA /priv asked me "who is walter4melon?" and i said "new player from IU"... in my defence, he did provide a rail-heavy performance, and at first enough noobiness with bfg jumps, and pretending to not know room locations. IMO deserves some sort of e+ oscar

About Trickz being our ref...technically he was not part of any of the 2 involved clans at the time the game was played, so YEAH he was neutral. Him trying to join us has got nothing to do with it, as that ended a few days ago. It's not like he disabled pb and pure during the game which allowed us to activate our wallhacks and aimbots, or spot enemy locations for us, as he only recorded our pov. Oh wait...maybe him sympathizing with us had some sort of voodoo effect on the outcome of the game! Ohnoooes.

wtf ppl...seriously why so prone to drama? Can't we get a fucking amen on this story already?

ps. Mirc...2nd time I see you going at aNk for some very obscure reasons? In this case it looks like you're blaming us for this whole story, when we were as damaged as DA by Trickz's actions. Starting to feel you got some sort of personal vendetta against us.
