My callsign is DestruyaX. I could give a sh1t less about the ladder and whatever prizes I could win being in the top 3. My win/loss record is d4mned near 2:1 for every game I've played. Out of every ten games I play, I'm MVP in at least 5 and top 3 in every game. Why not more, as some repliers will ask? Because I take it upon myself to not only back up my teammates but to do their jobs when they choose not to. Given the choice of destroying a mammoth or taking a wounded Havoc/Sakura/Raveshaw back to base to repair and then ferry them back to a strategic place, I'd choose the latter instead of the former. I'm not selfish. It's my goal to shove the notion of teamwork down the gullet of every person I play with on every server I log onto whether they like it or not - either by selfless acts of valor or sacrifice, or by calling someone a f***ing idiot.

And for those of you who think I'm some ~950 ranked n00b, compare my stats average-wise to Vibranium, who most likely has either found a point hack or spends half of each day logged onto WOL playing this game. I'm proud of my 950 ranking because I worked for it. I worked for it by playing an eighth of the games Vibranium or the other chart-toppers played while maintaining a higher standard of excellence and professionalism without "slumming" to come on the games' forums and tell the plebes whom he/she thinks are "beneath" him/her how to play a game so they can get more personal glory. People who have played with me on their team either love me or hate me. Most people fall into the latter category because when I get on a server where my team is not meeting my expectations, I'm very vocal as to what needs to be done to rectify the errors.

This message isn't for the Rambos, the chart-toppers, or the MVPs. This message is for the people who stay behind and mine, defend, and repair while their comrades pu55y-foot around like Pierce F***ing Brosnan trying to get kudos. This message is for people who ferry wounded soldiers back to base rather than let them die just so they can destroy one more tank. This message is for people who get in the line of fire of a harvester getting pounded just so it has a better chance of getting back into base so your team can afford that beacon or that flame rush quicker. This message is for the people who stay behind in structures to make sure they don't die when getting pounded by artillery. This message is for someone who buys an APC/Chinook for a rush into a base with little chance for success JUST TO SEE IF IT CAN BE DONE.

This is your message. This is OUR game. Don't let points dictate your life. The simple fact of the matter is that unless you become like a Vibranium, spending half your life playing Renegade just so a group of people you'll never ever meet give you props and switch to your team, you're never going to be in the Top 20. Quite frankly, I think Westwood did a HORRIBLE thing by putting a ladder (WITH PRIZES, no less) on a game which is supposed to reward teamwork yet instead rewards Rambos who go against everything every C&C game has stood for - tact over force (except good ol' tank rushes - which definitely was the exception to the rule).

Server owners - I beseech you - turn all your servers to unranked. We need to take away the incentive for people to sacrifice their team just for personal gain and glory. Maybe then, Renegade might just become the next big team game. H3ll, millions of people play CS every day and get nothing for being good players (not counting whether they hack or not).

So don't listen to the C4Kittys and other self-proclaimed "stars" on how to play this game. If you truly like this game, you won't play it for points, since you'll never get as high as them without giving up a large portion of your life. Make Renegade your OWN game. Not someone else's, and don't play to win, play for the experience...and if playing for the experience gets you in a position where you can win, by God, TAKE it. I'm out.

Coldcalm, thanks for gunner/mobius rushing with us and setting the tone for everyone else to follow orders; neoreoveo, thanks for helping me take out that Mammoth with the one I stole in Canyon; the people who repaired the base while I stole vehicles and nuked ****, thanks; the hotwires who repaired me while I was killing, thanks... the list goes on. Hopefully I returned the favors by repairing you or helping you guys out, if not there will be another time.

Let this be a message to people: it is quite possible to help out your team and still get a high score. I did it all night, as did many others on my team. It's much easier to win when you and your allies form a strategy for defense and offense, because you know you can leave and not worry when you hear "Building X under attack" because someone's already on it.

Look for our server, we don't tolerate jackasses. Don't come unless you want to win.

LOL See you in the game. Screw my stats I'm in it for fun not a ranking

Teamwork isn't everything, a team of mediocre players working together will lose too a team with a couple of great players who don't need a team because they know how to do it themselfs.

I'm all for teamwork, but it isn't the answer too everything, and it ain't a garantueed win. It improves the odds that's all, you still need great tank drivers too win the game.
