I nicely mixed them with beats (hlaf-assed effort, but it's funneh)

I dont really like Carling, but I had 5 of them last nite (@ £1.80 per pint s' not bad )
I do like a spirit (with/ without mixers): 'Gac (Courvousier, love it but I rarely drink it - money talks ), Vodka (pure/ with red bull/ with coke), JD with coke, sumtimes pure, and Tequila (if you mix it with coke or lemonade, you shouold be shot )

Movies - I like Sin City, Scarface, Pulp Fiction, 40 year old virgin and BASEketball (might as well add the 25th hour with Ed NOrton, cos I blabbed about it on almost every single interview)

TV - South Pak, King Of The Hill, Arrested Development, The Simpsons, probably is more...

My current ocupation is "Bunking Lectures" in the fabulous "city"(/village/army barracks) of Colchester, in Essex University, doing Accounting & Finance...

Music - Rap & Hip-Hop (especially the old-skool stuff from the early 90's (b4 2pac, even tho i aint got nothing against his music), 80's, and eve the late 70's (the sugarhill gang), I also like 80's music that inspired Vice City... as well as modern urban (thats what the section's called when you walk in to HMV) music - hip-hop, rap, R&B, and wotev@ is playing in the clubs atm (gotta love it )

I better stop before this post turns into a full-blown myspace account

And I do have a myspace account, but it's not finished so I kept it secret from every1 I know, apart from 2 people (1 by accident). I started it in August then 4got about it - im "working on it"

What happened to

4. Have superior personality and just be a cool guy?

or

5. Do something important for the entire community (Rena & Ranking, for example)

Ok, I will agree on point number 5.

But why do you feel a person should be famous in a Q3 community for beeing a cool guy? Ever seen any Cool soccerplayers become famous for just beeing cool and having mediocre skills or none at all? Quake 3 is a competetitive game that require a lot of skills to play and IMO the respect from the community should be based on that skill. OR as you pointed out other things that will help that game evolve.

As I said, I have no respect for people that are famous for beeing famous without any effort other than showing themselves, like a TV-star in a RealityShow.

Aah, but you omitted the fact that this is a community. This isn't only the game. We do stuff different then playing all the time. Eg. you can gain respect through knowledge (cmds, hardware), or just for having a cool sense of humor.

Yeah, Arx put out what i had in mind. And with 4. i didn't mean "famous", more like "recognized", anyway. Btw, what if a great player is a complete and utter dickhead? Would you respect him them? I'd sooner have respect for someone that is around alot and i can have a nice chat with, than someone who performs amazing railshots but during the game constantly moans and provokes other players. Just my view.

I guess that depends on why you want to be "recognized". IMO its a gaming community, so respect should be targeted towards game related skills, and I agree it doesnt have to be aim, it can be other things, like leading a clan, moderating a forum, running clan ranking, making good configs, running leagues, stuff like that.

I guess I am a bit confused on why so many people in this community equals contribution or respect to postcount. There are people with over 2000 posts that have less than 100 constructive posts, I don't get it. I am not saying it's wrong, I just don't get it.

Can't say I understand the need to be recognized or famous either.. But again, I don't think its wrong.

About people with great skills and beeing an utter idiot, I don't respect that either. I respect skills, but I generally don't respect idiots, regardless of skills
