" btw.. I stopped playing tribes 1 cause I felt that the situation at the time did not lead to much competition, and the reason I was playing at the time was for some good competition." Lock-IE
How can you say that ? You played with (R), got owned buy IE, then in due time joined them. Played the tail end of there dynasty with them, if any @ all. I remember a scrim with IE on DX, and you played-But was considered a "ringer" cause you weren't a member. This was very close to IE's end. After IE left-SHORTLY after IE left, 5150 came into there own-a powerhouse so to say. S3 was a powerhouse. POE was becoming a powerhouse months before the end of T1. NuTz was always a contender. Sticks had a awesome run @ the end. To say you left the game, when you did, because of Comp is such a CROCK OF SHIT. Sorry dude, but you are DEAD WRONG THERE. When IE left the game, there was TONS of comp, shortly right after. And it wasn't because IE left. It was because teams had "clicked" on. Teams had got all there SHIT together. If IE had stayed, they would have had AWESOME games to play vs S3 5150 NuTz POE Sticks ECT. 5150 and IE like many have said @ the Gala, was AWESOME GAMES. Imagine if they stayed active? Imagine if they stayed on the ladder? There would have been some amazing fucking games. There all ready was when IE left. Between S3 and NuTz. 5150 and NuTz. 5150 and S3. Sticks and 5150, POE and 5150 etc..
You SIR are full of shit on that point. 5150 POE Sticks S3 NuTz etc. would have given IE awesome COMP if they would have stayed active-this I know. Did you even play any ladder games with IE in there prime? NO you were to busy trying to beat them. No comp my ass
