I lost to Cassius Maxim, the most irritating Baron, after being ahead 4-0 in 4 rounds. I do hereby retire.

I lost to Leto a long time ago after holding a 4-0 lead, although I don't think he was a baron at the time, and I certainly wouldn't've described him as "irritating".

You'll get over it.

He lost to me, he retired. He came back.

Lost to Cas, now he retired. He'll be back.

Personally, it doesn't matter to me if he stays or goes.

Quizxs,

On the contrary. As far as I know, most of the higher ranks were just as bad before they made Warlord. Some were even worse.

I'm assuming this is another facetious comment. If not, well it should be.

Rank never makes that much difference about honor and maturity, if anything it just adds ego to the equation.

Come on now people, there is such thing as "sarcasm". Did any one ask Lup to see if he was serious?

Gunthar,

Yes, there is such a thing as sarcasm. Did you ask any of us that replied if we were being serious?

Perhaps they were already bad, but add the ignorance and immaturity to recognition and prejudice, and people get worse.

::pens a note to Quizxs::

Quizxs,
Since you are so stubborn as to not note the other reasonable opinions. I will make this short.

You're an example of what I'd call ' A lower ranking that complains and complains, but doesn't show he can be the better man.' I'm one of the lower rankings, but I don't pout about people being idiots. I think you're most definitely directing your words to a few warlords or barons. But we all know that little sum you are talking about. You'll probly name them yourself, but as stated by Percival, they were already like that. Rank doesn't change
mentality unless you aren't strong enough to take the pressure. Some I must say of the higher rankings are title seekers which I am not. This game is all fun and game, though you my friend, seem to be inferior to the higher rankings. ~~ Words of advice. You do not have to acknowledge them, but just keep them in mind. And a few people may disagree with me, including yourself.

Not his job to do so...its his opinion, he doesn't have to name other facets, though you can.

Well...your complaining, and about him being an idiot..because you stated that it is a fact, which I guess should be well known, that rank doesn't change mentality unless you aren't strong enough to handle the pressure. But of course, that's an opinion, as his statements were, and he shouldn't be named an idiot for stating opinion, not desecrating fact.

>This game is all fun and game, though you my friend, seem to be inferior to
>the higher rankings.

There is no reason that you have given that he is truly inferior, but instead called him an idiot for not knowing 'a well known fact'.. however, that fact was your opinion, as he has told his. So, simply on my opinion and my view of things, you called him an idiot and inferior to others of a higher rank (though you stated rank has nothing to do with character) without him saying a least bit more towards you other than his opinion, which, although
harsh, should be digested and followed up by your opinion, not flame. I believe he has an open mind, Quizxz, or atleast hasn't given a juggernaut of proof against such, though, by calling him an idiot for such actions that only you have taken, I believe you're endangering your status as one who's open minded.

Sincerely and with well wishes,
Coron.
