vets?

[0 Kilz:M:]

I think the care factor on this subject is 0.

Humbug to this topic. The only vets on Gr are the ones who prove them-self to be so.

[Typhy]

The true veterans of this community are those who've been around since R6. This doesn't mean people who were around back then but didn't play R6.

That said, such players are far and few between now days.

However, there's something more. One person who I don't consider a "vet" is SK, because he's a loudmouthed, inmature dumbass.

There's no such thing as a "GHR vet". Look in this thread. Myself, Kilzo, Spike, Bonto, Myst, Flame, Rebel and VooDoo are all "RS vets". There are still plenty of us around. When there are, oh, say 5-10 of us left on GR, then maybe you can start calling yourselves "GHR vets".

Does it really matter on account number?, surely its just how we get on as a community?

I also agree with voodoo's post.

I came on GR 2 years ago, I dont consider myself any better than all the newer people so why should you guys?

Trying to prove that youre a "vet", and someoe else is not a "vet" is like the Nazis trying to prove that the Jews were an inferior race in the 1930s/40s.  Using facts that dont really matter, to prove that someone is inferior to somebody else, when they're quite possibly better than you are.

Congratulations if you have a lower account number than someone else...congratulations if you played R6 way back in the day.  It doesnt mean youre better than anybody, or that you have any right to tell people what or who they are.

A true vet would acknowledge the new people comming into this community, with wide eyes and impressonable minds, and support the growth of the community, instead of trying to keep a stranglehold on their fading empire, like a xenophobic group of old men.

You all want to know what a vet is???

How about someone who was playing Asteroids on an Atari 2600...

BEFORE MOST OF YOU WERE BORN.

Take a look at the creation date :

Read this! and then for the fun of it  go  here.

Funny to see some guys posting about the same topic again and how their statements have changed in the last 2 years.

Bye,

And guess who's gonna die first?

[BFG]

Rather than argue who the "Vets" are... why not argue over who are considered to be the best players in:  RvS, GhR, AA, and CoD    

[bronto]

because it's always people playing favorites, mostly with themselves. we really don't wanna get started on 'who's the best' now bfg. and let's shut up about vets too, i accept mauti's definition, if the word vet has to be used.

I was playing R6 with people like Stevie and Attila... I don't think I've ever used that to condescend anyone. Now, I quit GR for a while (got a gf and stuff like that) and when I came back, GhR had been released and had been out for quite some time... And let me tell you what people like Stevie and me said:

RS is R6 for noobs.

In MY book, people that spent too much time on RS had bad "Clancy-taste".
I hated RS because of the fact that it was kinda LIKELY that you survived a shot unless it was a headshot... I was so used to R6 that I thought I was dead and I would stand there (still and facing the roof or floor) thinking I was dead until someone walked past again and shot me. I hated the game and I hated the people that played it because they were cockier, meaner, ruder and louder than the R6 people.

Today I'm more tolerant. I don't play RS... I won't play RS... But I can at least tell myself that not EVERYONE is a version of Rapid.

No one is a "veteran" on GameRanger. There are only oldies and newbies and those darn middle-agers.


Note: My R6 name was not Acri.

Why don't you just stop judging people by their account number and judge on their attitude? People would get along. If someone calls themself a GhR vet, let them, if you disagree, keep it to yourself.

That's my 2?.

[BTs_Mysterio]

And lest we forget the noobie forever club...  

[Maniac]

The vets are slowly coming back it seems. Thats good because I'm sick of seeing noobs like bronto and Myst around.  

[BTs_Mysterio]

Maniac, you are a forever noob.... just for the record. Never put me on the same level as that pathetic rodent they call Bronto.

I cannot beleive I am getting into this asinine thread but I am.
A vet is someone who is good and well estabilished within the community. I myself started playing on GR a month or two when RS came about (I had a different name and changed it, not tellin' who I was though ) Sure, GHR members can be vets, afterall some of them are rather well connected in this community. The question is this: "How much time do you have to waste on some multiplayer community to gain imaginary prestige?" I am not here to judge who is a vet and who is not, granted I do not consider myself a vet, more like an old source of comic releif.
