Well, Shao has informed me recently that one of the things that is keeping me from joining GO atm is that there have been some members who have said that they feel uncomfortable when I'm around. Yet, no one has said anything to me about this, besides Shao. Although, he would only inform me of a problem, but not it's nature. Which is fine, I understand that. So, what I'm asking is if you have any kind of problem with me, or heard anyone voice a concern about me, please either respond to this message, PM me either here or on the MB2 forums, or email me at brekkeboy@yahoo.com . If you feel uncomfortable with me knowing who you are, then create an anonymous email or forum account. (If you just overheard a concern, please do not disclose the identity of the person who said it.)
I really hope that this can be sorted out. Because I really do feel at home with you guys. I love the respect, teamwork, willingness to help each other, and generally fun atmosphere that is presented by GO. I have overcome various obstacles to try and be a more suitable candidate for a GO recruit. I have cut down on swearing. I have tried hard not to act, or be arrogant and talk down to others. I try my best not to complain too much about getting killed by something that I consider lame or something that requires a lesser amount of skill. I try not to argue with people about various things.
I'm not perfect, and I do make mistakes from time to time, but I am trying. So please, if you know something that's causing a problem, let me know. Because I can't resolve these issues unless I know what the problem is.

Hey, I've heard some people in GO are uncomfortable around me, too. But no names were ever given. That's just the nature of the group, I guess. The way I see it, if somebody has a problem with someone else, they should let them know about it, instead of just talking about it behind thier backs. But hey, different people have different ways of dealing with things. At any rate, I think you'd be a fine additon to GO, Andy.

I'm not part of GO but I have some problems with you, no offense.
1, When I kill you, 90 % of the time i get a "..." "...wtf...?" "..bullsh*t" "no way" i see it in public chat, alot. and 2, Your microphone is kinda scratchy on my end, nothing you can do about that though.

"..bullsh*t" "no way" i see it in public chat, alot. and 2, Your microphone is kinda scratchy on my end, nothing you can do about that though. And that is one of the things that I've been trying not to do anymore. The "..." thing is more of a transitional thing. Between saying crap that I shouldn't and saying nothing at all. It is weird, ever since I can remember, I've felt compelled to say something after my deaths. What's even stranger yet, is that MB is pretty much the only game where that's the case. Sure, I'll say something every now and then in some other game, but nothing like what I used to do in MB (and still do somewhat, sadly.) Anyways, I have been making progress in this regard. Especially after Shao pointed out to me the other night that he noticed that I say something after I die a lot, on vent if anything. He also pointed out that the way I was saying it was in a way that, even if I'm not consciously thinking it. It implies a sense of I have control. Comments like,"Whoops."for example, gives a sense that I had control over the fight and that I lost only because I made a mistake without giving credit to my opponent on being skilled. So, I've really been working on checking myself, and making sure that I don't say anything more than,"..." in game, or out loud. Sure, I've slipped a few times, but I'm trying. All-in-all, this is something that I can, and will get past, so you don't have to worry about that anymore.

Maybe this could be moved to the introductions forum? Seeing as I never actually made a formal forum request and this mentions the request that I made a while ago over vent/X-Fire/in game.

Sure, I'll move it, Andrew.
As for the "Last words", thing. Well, everybody knows my "There's too...many of them!" bind. But I really only use that if I get killed by multiable people. Something that does frusterate me a bit sometimes.
I try to limit it to general comments. "Ouch". "That hurt". "Dang". That sort of thing. It's nothing really insulting to anyone, I don't think, but I do feel some sort of urge to comment on my own demise.
