Omega, as in our long lost friend from the DSF, the banningest OPS :blink: in the history of the DSF channel, a stalwart here in the early Lounge days, is pillorying someone both for being an arse and for being less uber at Starcraft than said person immodestly professed.
Q for you: He was bought an account. There may be a typo there that confuses me, or I may be confusing myself. Did some one buy him an account, did someone bring him an account, or was he brought to account for being a blowhard? As I read it, the site you refer to requires a pay in, and some folks who thought he was neat and funny paid for his account. Did I get that right? Or is my guess something awful and awry? ;)
On the first point, while I am not familiar with what went on there, I'd have to ask why the pot calls the kettle black. :)
On the second point, many is the braggart at PC games whose come uppance has arrived in the shape of a "walk quietly and be better at it" challenger. That only proves that his mouth wrote checks that his connection, strategy, game savvy, and twitching could not back up. He won't be the first or last in that category, to be sure.
Hey, nice to see you resurface, Merry Christmas. :D
