Quite frankly, I amased I don't catch flak for my username
Sorry to hear people ragging on you about your name, Niko. As long as they don't wreck you, just ignore it. Only thing you can do, really. If those people see you coming on here complaining they'll just use it to fuel their fire. Tune it out and keep racin.
Hi niko , first of all,(sorry if i misread) i was on with you practicing, and iirc nobody called you noob, i dont remember it anyway.
You hit me, i feel it was on purpose because when i entered the server, you saw i had DR tag on, and you got angry with me, complaining that they are sh*t and all that, even though you loved them before, you feel you done "nothing" and they kicked you for no reason. I know i reacted harshly by calling you a POS, but im really sorry, i just got a bit angry.
Tbh, i think there is a gang after you, sometimes i hear ppl taking about you on servers when you leave, saying "oh he's the spammer on forums, i dont like him......" and "oh, all he does is wreck people and get all angry and start flaming..." I hope you get what i mean.
I have started to get to know you a bit more recently, and i dont want to ruin our 'friendship', so i hope you accept my apology.
@Niko: I'll hold my hand up and say I was the one who said 'hi n00b' to you and 'can't find reverse', but those remarks were made 100% in jest. I tried to explain this to you, bout you insisted on bitching at me and insulting me.
EDIT: The contact with Niall did seem (from the angles I saw) to be deliberate. You and him were side by side and you turned in on him.
EDIT #2: You weren't exactly helping the situation by bitching at me, calling me an emo and telling me and others to 'go f--k themselves'
As a former friend of mine used to say, 'Toughen up and get over it'
Niko. I'm not gonna say any more after this post. But explain how when you were side by side, you suddenly steered hard left into him and spun him and yourself?
On the forums, yes, but to be fair the less... mature element of LFS rarely visit the forums as they usually end up getting flambé'd by "teh Tristan".
If you take offence to being called "n00b" (Which i can understand) and you ask to be called something else, and they respond to such a simple response with expletives they're immature idiots tbh
The username doesn't mean anything.. there's a lot of other ridiculous names on par with Napolean or BloodVampire or whatever.
I've seen players talk about Niko (in his absence) like he's a hazard, though. It sounds more like banter for its own sake.
So when someone tries to put your name to shame, you ask for somebody else to put their names to shame? Eye for an eye?
And tbh, if you register the username, don't be surprised when you're being adressed with it... As for the rest of the story, show us an .mpr or lock this thread as we're hearing versions which differ greatly...
...it's not like our niko to be crying likes a lil girl, whats wrong? If you cant drive like a normal racer and give as good as you get you'll be singled out in notime.fact....stop bithing like a little girl and wreck some drivers......goto conedodgers and trash teh place lol. Thems drunken wreckers lol...ya' good times...i'll be back on the grid soon...im saving up all of my beer tokens and wrecking chi
I don't really want to get involved in this but! I was there and all I saw was people saying hello, abit of chat, then Niko swearing and leaving straight away, then returning a few mins later and the same happens again, Niko swears and leaves, that's just my view. Also, I doubt anyone got that .mpr because the quali started after all this happened, end race, so I doubt anyone saved the practice...
I think Niko sees it pretty accurately, on the pertinent aspect anyway: he's being slandered unduely and it's affecting his right to racing normaly like everyone else. I agree that his personality and username and maybe his racing (I haven't seen it) all sum up to do him disfavor, but I disagree he deserves it.
I don't remember the names, but it was just small talk for effect, rather than seriously accusing you of anything.. Something hollow like "OMG LFSNoob can't show up or I'll pee my pants".
If they don't have the balls to tell even such a petty thing to your face, don't bother with it.
Since Niko is in Moo, I for one do NOT appreciate him being picked on.
Since he has joined moo, he has matured a great deal, and people should not stereotype him, and judge him on past behaviour. He had his 2nd chance, so far he is making good use of it.
He drives for us in IGTC. He does well, he is faster than the average racer. Lag does cause crashes, and he HAS been lagging lately, if you ever seen him on CTRA he times out quite a bit.
Everyone should patch up the chip on thier shoulder, and grow the eff up.
Leave him alone, stop trying to get a reaction from him. You should all be old enough and wise enough to not assume, judge, be predujicial (sp).
I do not want any more of this kind of stuff, its not good for Niko, its not good for the community as a whole either, nor is it good for Moo
This thread should be closed. It will turn into nothing more than a flame war.
I can back this 100%. I was kind of against him joining due to previous behavior, but he has definatly changed his attitude alot and to quote Jamie: He had his 2nd chance, so far he is making good use of it.
Just get out of the times when LFSnoob was actually a noob and realise that he is/has changed. He should be LFSwasanoobbeforeIjoinedMooRacinganddecidedIdidntwanttoactabellendanymore.
Niko, you got pretty famous with your username, huh?
However you should know that if some friend/pal of yours calls you "n00b" that doesn't mean he wanted to insult you. if someone from outside calls you a noob, don't get mad, just prove them you ain't a noob, not by words, but by action (racing) if you want, if you're not into proving stuff, then just don't react and drive. If that insulting person will continue insulting, spamming, he'll possibly get kicked/banned pretty soon.
