Notoriously Bad Player Alert > Beatdown >Follow

Just for kicks I'm going to go through and grammar check some of Beatdown's posts. :D You might want to refer to this classic guide to punctuation.


This rhymes, so it's easy to remember: WoW is an abbreviation. Wow is an exclamation!

Singular

Because

Yay for random caps! Strongarmed or strong-armed is correct.

Singular is a smart-*** or smartass MNK.

You're

I'm

Don't. You shouldn't be so afraid of apostrophes, they don't bite! See, I just used two of them and I survived!

Run-on sentences are bad. Try breaking this up into a few smaller thoughts! Or chopping off your fingers, one or the other.

Holy hell Byaina, reading that was like Sesame Street on crack.

Don't forget the correlating material on punctuation, Byaina. ^^

And here can be found additional materials relating to basic grammar and syntax. In fact I would call this the penultimate entry into the world of online grammar.

This is in the interest of promoting good communication.



I knew I couldn't say that last bit with a straight face.

Send pocky.

Pocky
It's all I could do on such short notice >.<

No really I cant see his previous posts also. =x

I've heard of FORTRAN, isn't that one of the first programming languages from the 60's?

I dunno about being banned, but it doesn't say any messages were filtered on my screen and I still can't see em. >_>

I can see them, you have to change your filter to "Never Filter".

Beatdown reminds me of Belgarath, loads of entertainment ^^

I never filter. The sub-default and aweful posts are the most fun! They give me an excuse to hijack!

In other news, everyone and their brother must have been out hunting leeches for the ruby tonight. There were no less than 4 solo leech hunters around my camp at any given point.

Man I don't check the forums for one day and I miss all the fun? Go figure! >.< All I have to say is Byaina, thanks for the grammar lesson and the laughs. ^_^

Sorry for the late post but I've been sick lately and haven't been on much. I myself have my own story of Beatdown to relate. But first I would also like to add that not only am I in the same linkshell with Awias but I know for a fact she is a very good summoner and friend.

My first meeting with Beatdown was when he was playing a Ranger. I had just gotten my summoner to level 30 and the promyvia battles had just come out as well. My two friends Jamison and Dakor were setting up a party to go do a Promyvia-Holla run. This was and still is the first and only one I have ever done. We had an alliance of 2 parties. We had 2 War/Nins which were going to be the tanks for each party. We had a whm and blm for each parties, and at least 3 summoners and 1 ranger. I forget the exact party setups though, and you'll realize why later.

We managed to get to the 3rd floor finally with everything going well. As we got to the Recepticle on the third floor is where everything went wrong. We had the Recepticle down to a sliver of life and were dealing with the little annoying flying things (sorry I forget their names). Everyone was told several times not to kill the Memory Recepticle till we dealth with the little flying things first. I was standing off to the side and I saw Beatdown move away and turn toward the Memory Recepticle. I had a feeling he was going to do what he did and I said in the party chat not to attack the memory recepticle in caps. Lo and behold he attacks the recepticle, killing it, and bolts to the elevator. He went to the next floor and a few people went with him. The 2 tanks died since they got overwhelmed but the rest of us got away.

So at this point we are thinking that the whole run was over and for nothing. We decide to make it to the boss anyway and see if we could salvage anything. We finally decide to form one party and make a "suicide run" on the Wreaker. Our party set up at the time was 1 WHM (Jamison), 1 BLM (sorry I forgot your name), and 3 SMNS (Xeres, Namfoodle, and myself). So I wanted my other friend Dakor who was a BLM to join us since if we have no tanks we might as well bring tons of firepower. Well we get Beatdown. I'm still sore from him killing the Recepticle earlier but I just remain quiet and deal.

We get in and decide on a strategy. The BLM elemental seals + binds the Wreaker. The SMNs pull out avatars and start Astral Flow, while the RNG holds off and waits till the end for his 2 hour (EES??) to finish off the boss. We ALL agree on this. We start out with elemental seal + bind and pull out avatars (Ifrit and Leviathan based on his weakness) and then use Astral Flow. The Wreaker breaks free shortly thereafter and makes quick work of the BLM. We are doing fine till we get the Wrecker low on life and both Xeres and Namfoodle Astral Flows run out. We tell Beatdown to use his 2 hour now to which he responds I can't, I used it when we started O_O WTF?! I see someone was listening to the gameplan. Luckily I got off my last Astral Flow in time and we won. It was only by the skill of the players in the party other than Beatdown were we able to beat the Promyvia-Holla that day.

I never wanted to party with Beatdown after that since clearly he can't follow directions and isn't a team player. My second run in with Beatdown was when I dusted off a LS pearl that had been sitting around in my mog house and I equip it to see a bunch of people on. I introduce myself make friends and a few weeks later...Beatdown ends up joining somehow. I was willing to forgive that mess of a Promyvia and give him another chance. Unfortunatly he and Awias had a disagreement on how Awias should play her job and decided to make a big thing about it in the LS. Everyone left and I went with them. I'm now in Awias's LS and everyone gets along great in there without Beatdown.
