- Thread starter not_fraggle
- Start date
Regardless of the reason, I laugh when people threaten others in real life. Could SlotR be a badass? I don't know him personally, but maybe he is. Does being 6'3" 220 and the ability to box give someone the ability to kick someone's ass? Maybe. What people seem to forget when they make these "I'll kick your ass IRL" threats is that despite how much of a badass you might be, there is always someone who would make you their bitch.
I was a police officer for a couple of years. I am no badass, but I can take care of myself. I don't start fights and I don't get involved in fights. I'm 6'1" and 250lbs. Am I trained as a boxer? NO. Am I trained in some form of Martial arts? NO. Have I been thoroughly trained to defend myself? Yes. Do I have multiple guns and the training to know how to use them? Yes. Have I held someone at gun point IRL? Yes. (while doing the police work - and the first time was a fucked up experience). Did anyone in the Tribes Community know this about me? I doubt it (maybe a couple of E5 guys).
Point of this thread is, regardless of how much of a badass someone may be (or how much of an ass the other guy may have been), it is not only childish to threaten someone you don't know and have never met, it is down right stupid. If someone shows up at my door to threaten my life, they could be a tougher man than I. However, they better be serious and realize what could happen to them if they do. In that situation, I'm not gonna piss around with fist fights. I'm not the kind of guy that would pull a gun on someone in the streets, but I would have no problem doing it at my own home, defending myself and my property.
As for being 6'3" and 220 pounds, I know a guy who is 5'9' 170 lbs that would kick anyone's ass (defensive tactics and survival tactics instructor and SWAT team member). The old cliche "Its not the size of the man in the fight, but the size of the fight in the man" is so true.
Bottom line is both of these guys need to grow up. And if SlotR is 24 and doesn't understand the concept that someone could pull a gun or a knife on him in a fight (especially when going to someone's home) then he's lived too much of a sheltered life to this point.
I apologize for prolonging this thread.

bla bla bla... anyone who has enough time for a full time job, friends, possibly a girlfriend? and practices jiu-jitsu AND boxing enough to be skillful, would not have enough time left over for tribes.. No one who talks shit in an IRC chat is hard, probably just an 80 pound jerkoff who gets beat up at school all the time and can only make idle threats to people who can't see him.
move on, nothing to see here....

Wow, this killed 30 minutes of work for me, thanks guys. I am sorry that NuTz bailed so soon on you Tsunami. I gotta know this though, do you guys send PM's to each other saying meet me behind the cafateria after 6th period? Do you send PM's to Madcat or Maxime, with boxes to check if she likes you? I would love to jump on a side and flame, but everyone thinks I am too nice of a guys and would never even counter flame me, no matter how hard I try. I could write about 2 pages on how pathetic this all is, but too late, NuTz bailed 
Oh and btw, I am only 5'9" 165#, and I wrestled for 8 years(2 time state qualifier), took Shorin-Ru, and Jujitsu. But regardless of the situation, I would either walk away or involve the authorities unless my family was threatened. You see guys this is how Society really works. Law, Order, that kind of stuff.

And <b>I</b> can't wait for fraggle to press charges on SlotR, who then spends some time in jail, has to pay restitution, or has to go to a mental clinic because he did this over a game. Oh, and plz learn to spell; your sentence structure is horrible and the spelling makes it almost impossible to read.
xpdnc makes really good point.
SlotR goes to fraggle's house to beat him up. fraggle asks him to leave. SlotR busts down the door and commences to beat fraggle up bad enough to put him in the hospital for a couple of days.
SlotR gets arrested for Breaking and Entering, Trespassing, Assault, Intimidation, and Battery with Severe Bodily Injury (and probably a few other things). Being that SlotR is a trained fighter, he might be viewed differently than the average person by the courts, which would only increase the severity of the crime. Also, I don't know how old fraggle is, but if he's under 18, the Battery becomes battery on a minor with servere bodily injury, which is definately a felony charge (you know felony, long prison, no more voting, no more right to bear arms, no more checking "no" to the "arrested for a felony" question on job applications, etc.).
I can see it now: SlotR says ... "But Judge, fraggle was an ass in IRC and in our Tribes match. He's such a llama." I doubt the judge will respond, "Yea, he deserved to be qowned, rofl!"
SlotR goes to prison for a few years, ruins his life, and is truly owned (prison bitch if you will) by someone who is bigger, stronger, and meaner.
Is fraggle really worth that? I don't think so!
One other point .... isn't a big part of martial arts training deal with control? (i.e. use only for defense Daniel-son). Come on SlotR, use your powers for good, not evil ..... don't give in to the dark side!

I think people need to realize that people tend to treat their online personalities like characters on televison. Of course the person behind the keyboard isnt who you see "online". This is fantasy folks, try to keep that in mind. This particular episode reminds me of The Andy Griffith show with fraggle playing the character of Ernest T. Bass throwing rocks, causing general mayhem and givng the whole town fits. Slotr on the other hand fits nicely into the Barney Fife character screaming "Nip it, Nip it" and generally looking just as foolish as Ernest T.
So, when you watch shows like that, do you hate the characters? No, you laugh at both of them, and look foward to the next episode.
