I wasn't playing goonmans when the hate for Mr. Pink started so I don't because I don't actually know why we hate him :shrug:

Basic Mr. Pink cycle of hatred:

-Pink asks for advice, is given advice.

-Pink either questions the advice, doesn't apply the advice in-game, or both.

-Eventually someone uploads a video of Mr. Pink making a bad play, and his reactions over voice chat becomes fuel for banter.

-Banter carries on, eventually turns into straight up poo poo talking (mainly on sub.io thread).

-Mr. Pink tries to defend himself, but it does more harm than good. Usually he gets so caught up in it to where he's either completely contradicting himself, or just embarrassing himself.

-Eventually Mr. Pink starts trolling, and that makes people think he was a troll all along.

-Things die down, Mr. Pink says he's changed and that he's improving.

-Cycle continues.

iirc someone on the sub.io thread said that this has been happening on and off with Mr. Pink for close to 2 years now and it's always the same thing.

He was banned and kept coming back, he knows exactly what he's doing. There's no bullying when he keeps coming back for more.

e: he's the only person banned for non hacking reasons in 3+ years of goonman. That's gotta tell you something.

To be fair, that fourth video is more funny than it is an actual condemnation of his lovely play... well, except for that first round shown.

When someone continuously says that they are taking your advice while actively doing the exact opposite for years, it's time to write them off for good. Why that is a problem for some people I will have no idea.

edit: added the fifth and newest video from Dorky

Let's please keep the vibes up.


gently caress, this is pretty accurate. I have been an idiot, I'd like to hope that that doesn't mean I'm a scarlet letter on sub.io no matter how much I do actually improve.

It's literally unjustified, and most people know it. I'm not going to poo poo up the thread but the videos you're talking about are ones where I flail around like a silver and die, which everybody does sometimes, or fast planting stupid stuff. I've stopped most of that.

Anyway, I feel DMG coming on (with some helpful carries).

I'm pretty sure it's you in one of those videos saying "fast plant it", I don't know if you were being funny but whatever, I do follow what my team says for the most part and joke around soemetimes.

VVV Right, you just reply 'ok' and the next time someone brings this up you'll be all "it's justified" while totally ignoring what I'm saying and doing.

No, it's justified. Most people just do not want to play with you. It's pretty easy to understand why when you've been nothing but an anchor for 90% of your games in goonmans.

I am in the second video but I'm not telling you to "fast plant it", but I certainly do defuse it.

What the hell type of mouse is this? Does it have a jet engine where the laser sensor should be?

Man, on some of this stuff you're not wrong. But I think most people really don't care. And I absolutely have not been an anchor lately, a ton of people are anchors in games also because of the skill curve in sub.io. They aren't poo poo on like this, and I hope you can forget about whatever bad habits I had. You all are fun to try and beat, that's why I want to come back. It's not fun to lose.

Casual gets disregarded on this thread a lot, but it has helped me practice along with some good MM queues. Enough that I can actually be a threat in goonmans.

Shrug, it's an off-brand big on Amazon. The well-known Redragon M601. 2000 DPI and it has Omron switches (so they say) but the right click is hilariously about twice as hard to press as the left click. Too lazy to return it.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HTK1NCS

It's an old-school LED sensor as well.

e: Can I add that most of the people in those videos are laughing about my idiocy and having fun, isn't that part of what the best kind of CS is about?
That inferno round was horrible though, I could not stop trying to defend banana like that. I also thought that wasn't "pushing" and wanted to keep them from coming up to car. I learned from that match, as hard headed as I was.

I have my shadowplay set to 3 minutes so when something cool happens (and I remember to) I just press my record bind and it records 3 minutes back in time, it's real nice and simple and with zero performance loss, shadowplay owns

I mostly use it for HOW DID THAT GUY KILL ME-situations and it's cool to be able to go back and see that the answer usually is that I'm bad and my crosshair wasn't even on him
