You Know What Really Grinds My Gears...

You know what really grinds my gears?

1). People who already have a super speed and go around grabbing all the super speeds.

2). Certain high level players who demand the lower level players to give them their weapons.

3). Players who tell players they hope that you hit a rock on wave 16 (what team work huh).

4). Players who brag about being the best when they have no skill at all.

5). Players that give a lower level player something then expects them to give them everything good that they get (ie summons).

6). Players who ask players for something but don't ever offer anything in return.

Well now that I got all this off my chest :) if you see me in game and you see a message saying that I healed you know that I am sacrificing experience points to help you out. Like today for example there was numerous amounts where I could have turned my lil ladys and ssr minis into wops but I kept them medic to help out the team. That is what I want to see more of. I don't know if I am the only one who knows the meaning of teamwork but in my everyday life I try to do what I can to help someone out even If I don't always get the better end of the deal.

Anyone ever read my avatar? It says TEAM American Anthem: HONOR, INTEGRITY, SKILL

INTEGRITY: If you see me in game and see me ask "Who Lost Their (what ever weapon I found laying on the ground or ran past a group of people and grabbed on accident) I Found It If You Want It Back. That meens that I have realized that I have taken someone else's weapon and wouldn't appreciate if someone stole my weapon so I am offering to give it back not just stealing it and denying I have it when I know I do.

HONOR: When you see me in game you wont see me exploiting and a bunch of shit like most of you do (using medic art to get more weapons)

SKILL: Most of you do not know what skill is. When you see me last alive using nothing but a combat shotgun or such when the rest of you guys who think you are all that with your wands, ladys, ssr minis are all dead and im still alive using my medic combat shotgun I used to help keep you guys alive like today on 1on1-Obsidian that is skill, and teamwork, and going out of my way in points to help you guys. Ask anyone who was their, beast, hicky, bowls, salmia and the rest you wont get anything but a WOW HOW THE HELL DID HE LAST THAT LONG? You know how I lasted that long? I lasted long by using SKILL!.

Ok I feel better now that I have gotten all that off my chest. The fact that I am 14 years old and have more honor, integrity than most of you guys that play on this free community server that me and joey strive to improve as a blessing to you all is just sad. Guys I don't even know if some of you have ever heard of "One Hand Washes The Other" or "Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You". Guys these are basic morals that most of you lack. I don't know about you guys but I was brought up on these morals why do you think this is the only server where you see a 14 year old admin? Well now you know why so I don't want a "hey paint how did you become admin"? Read my post!. When I first got here 2 years ago and I know a great deal of knowledge about wop all I did was help people, tell them commands, binds, etc. This was all going out of my way to help YOU GUYS THE COMMUNITY, it was not for my personal gain it was to help you guys out. So if anyone of you want to know why I am an admin this is why, I strive to do what is right, I try to help you out to the best of my ability when you need it if I can. Guys these are all basic things that most of you should have or should at least learn them. Now there are some really good players on this server who know the absolute meaning of TEAM WORK like my buddy Crayola, Zombie slayer, Link 117, helpu(Big D) and others. There is so much more I could say but I leave it at this, If I wanted to be an asshole who only cared about myself and thought I was the greatest person since god because I was the highest level player, 95% of you wouldn't know shit about how to use wop, infact this forum wouldn't exist, and this server wouldn't be as fun to play on if there wasn't people like me and joey who care about other people besides our selfs. Joey god bless him he is in THE UNITED STATES ARMY, most of you as you read this are like wow cool the army. Not me when I see that someone is army I see, Courage, Respect, Honor, Integrity. If there wasn't people like this who put their lives on the line and take time away from their families to keep us safe there wouldn't be a UNITED States of America, there would be a no mans land, infact if you really think about it this would be Canada 2. If there wasn't the courageous people who put their lives on the line to start the united states of America, not one of us would be who we are today. I don't know about the rest of you but I have the utmost respect for the people who go out of their ways to help others. Thats why I have Joey, his family, and the rest of the US military and our allies + their families in my prairs EVERY SINGLE night. Lets face it people if It wasn't for them there would be no freedom. So the next time you see that someone is in need of help lend out a hand for them because that is the right thing to do and what you would want to be done for YOU. This goes way deeper than just a online rpg game, what I have talked about today is the very reason that you all get up every day and have a reason to live and the endless possibilities to make something of your self. Everyone you can be what ever you want all because of people like joey who put their lives on the line for you, for YOUR Freedom, Security, and your families.

So Id like to take a moment and thank god for the men and women who are the Soldiers, Fire Fighters, Police. If it wasn't for these men and women everybody this country wouldn't be like the great place it is today.

And for the ignorant people that are reading this and don't get it:

Everyone do you know why this server was established 3 years ago? It was because the great person that joey is he put up this server for the people who don't have gods great gift of a good healthy life. This server was established for people who are in the hospitals that have terminal illnesses, people who are in wheel chairs who cant walk so they can enjoy them selfs as much as they can. This server was put up so they could at least enjoy as much of their lives as they possibly can. Why do you think you see little kids come online that are around 8 and 9 years old? Their parents buy them laptops and a game they can play so they can enjoy them selfs in the hospitals as they undergo serious treatments so they can keep living. Everyone joey doesn't have to keep up the server at all, he doesn't have to keep paying the rack space and the internet bill. He goes out of his way and does it for us, so we can enjoy our selfs. So the next time that you see a man or women in uniform like joey take time out of your day to thank and appreciate them for all that they do to improve our lives, for these men and women are the true definition of selflessness.

And for you guys who still don't get it, I pity you and will continue praying that one day you will know the true meening of being a good person.

Truth is if there were more people like army, fire fighters, and police who put their lives on the line to save and protect others this country and in fact the world would be a better place. Now im not asking that you become soldiers, fire fighters, or police im asking that you all can do as much as you can to improve someone else's day even if It meens sacrifices some of your good time.

Thank you everyone for reading this post, I hope in some way it altered the way you look at everyday life and the men and women who fight to protect it.

I agree with you but I am not perfect either. Sometimes i get tired of seeing 14 people never toss thier extra pu's after a wave and then I don't bother tossing weaponds ect. unless it merc, paint, joey, myst, or another high ranking player.....I tend to share more with people who ask me directly for some reason, and sometimes im just being a point slut and not stopping for others, but most of the time i'm helping. Keep it up man. sharing maybe discouraging, but it pays off in the long run !!!

Good post Paint. I didn't know why or when the server was put up. Joeyz has become my favorite server of all time. The majority of players understand teamwork, and some that don't get educated ;)

I never realized you were 14, you sure don't act like any 14 year old I've come across.

Although I am guilty of #3 once in awhile :twisted:

I try to share as much as possible after I hoard what I need. I will admit being a noob to this server when first starting out, I didn't understand about throwing your unused powerups for the first day or two, nor did I even know how to throw them because I had to manually bind a key to do so, but quickly caught on how this game was played. It is most likely one of two reasons you won't see somebody sharing, they either are a noob or an asshole. Which are you?

Good, well written post, Paint. Now go take your meds. :D

I agree, it gets a little annoying to hear the constant begging. I will occasionally ask for an inf, or a wop, but only if several waves have gone by, and I have neither. More often, though, I will use the weps I pick up for as long as I can, and shed ALL the pu's I get. It's more of a challenge to play what you are dealt, and yes, it does make you use some skill and planning.

One shot kill weapons are great, but where's the fun in that before level 15?

I've been working recently on building up one WOP, and trying different combos of powerups. 3 rages on a minirocket is pretty nice.... I like the vampirism weapons too. I made it through a whole game with one of those.

Teamwork, yeah. That's why I like this server, different from having to put up with the 9000 fph cheaters on some of the DM servers.

And I like you guys.

these "things that grind your gears" are many of the problems that annoying problems that caused me and several others to stop playing. When you play the same server for over a year, killing the monsters isnt as fun as it used to be. It was the people playing on the server that made playing fun but when noobs started showing up in mass numbers i was done. :cry:

well airrrr man there is only one way to accomplish that and all we have to use is teamwork. Now to force team work to happen our last resort is to make the game so hard so tactical that you will need your team to help you survive.
