At Mjat, I had some young "SkullFucker" come over to me and spat "f***ing Ape!" at me, unprovoked.
I never thought it was funny, I don't think it is funny, and I will say that I for one am glad that from now on and SniperzDen I'll get to deal with the members of that team 1 on 1, instead of in that clusterfuck they call a team.
This is, of course, all personal opinion.
We're not a team, we're an Army.
The term team is for groups that hang out at pizza parlours and get matching bowling shirts with their names on it, vying for plastic trophies.
PLA wears matching blue shirts, no?
PLA makes a huge deal about "winning" the OPs they play at (some of which included plastic trophies).
I guess you're not considered a team because you don't hang out in pizza parlors, then.
We wear Fancy Shirts. Those are way different.
Winning isn't our big deal. PLA's "Big Deal" is training events and providing events as cheap as possible. This doesn't make us the best trained, as we primarily take the new players who may not have the airsoft experience or money to buy crye multicam or issued marpat or spell everything correctly.
PLA is about inclusion, and training new players. The only people they really call "apes" are established teams that usually are the first ones to jump on board with 2 pages of ridicule at a new person's post after they mispelled three words.
It's unfortunate that this extended to Mithril, as they were never involved in that.
But I have to go watch a few episodes of Highlander. I'm done in this thread. It's just here to amuse people who like Drama. I'm surprised Nocte even said anything out loud. Usually he's quite nice in person or to my face, but has a tendency to say this stuff elsewhere and out of earshot. I guess all this tomfoolery made him feel it safe enough a location to squeak out an opinion. And Karma will be Karma--100 lbs. of teenager that likes to argue on the internet or correct people's grammar and make new players not want to get into airsoft.
Long story short: PLA is using this game as a learning experience, and will use it as a chance to be a better team. We're new, and we're not perfect, and it was about time we got our asses kicked so we can work on improving ourselves even more.
The game was good. It had a few glitches, which were addressed, as was what could happen next time to make the game better next time. PLA won't be attending as a "clusterfuck" at this field for the immediate future.
It was a pleasure commanding the Axis side. I felt like I did a horrible job, but I've got my list of things to work on, just like everyone else on PLA. DRAT, Fragistan, 172 ROTA, OSK, Ghost's, Reapers, 808th and all the other teams out there performed brilliantly despite some setbacks and gameplay working against us.
