Dedication to those Few.

[AgeofBlades]

Hey all. I feel as though there are a few people who DESERVE recognition and respect in their ability to play the game of Halo. As many of you may know or not know, I am a decent player. I will not lie, and I will not brag. I have a knowledge of the game that only a few do. And I notice things that many do not notice or expect to be seen. The following people are people who deserve your respect and dignity as long as they are around. I am just at a point where I am tired of seeing under average players try to promote themselves as a great player when in fact they know NOTHING of what they are talking about. Folly, Da Acklete AKA; ( QUINN ), are the people who need to be treated with respect. And I can name countless reasons why so I will.

Folly - Folly is by far the most UNDERRATED player in all of Gamingvidz. This argument is a pointless one. Folly by far does not boast his abilities as an amazing Halo 2 player as he should. Folly has proven to me that he has the ability to perform under pressure and with respect from the game before. Folly is without a doubt the best support player from this site. I have seen him play as many of you have not. I have critiqued his play in private with him. I have seen his ups, and I have watched his downfalls. He is by far the BEST player in his role that I have seen. His awareness and ability to react to everything that is going is unmatched. Not even I nor Quinn, nor PhalanX can match Folly cool and collectedness under pressure. He has the ability to respect everything that happens and approach everything as such. He sets a new bar for Support. If I could, I would play along side Folly more than any other player besides Quinn and PhalanX. If Folly played, he would find himself as one of the best support players in the game. He would be placed as high as Sayain, Strongside, Karma, Boo, and Defy. He deserves each and every bit of your respect no matter what any of you think. He is by far the MOST respected player from me. He has earned it. Play with him and you will have such a comfortable feeling knowing that he has your back that you will find yourself playing better just because he is there. He wont let you down no matter what is going on. Respect him. Place him upon your throne of greatest support players. He deserves it far more than the highly known people on this site.

Da Acklete ( QUINN) - Many of you hate Quinn. Why? Because you don't respect him for his ability to play the game. You all base your opinions of Quinn from this forum. Half of you that downtalk Quinn have never even had the honor of playing with him. And the other half have never seen him outside of a pickup custom. How is that a fair? I could judge every single one of you from pick up customs...but do I? No. Play him in a real match and see how amazing he is. A forum is not where you learn how amazing someone is. Quinn is by far the BEST team player on this site. None of you see that. Quinn has improved himself more than any player I have ever seen. He has the ability to do EVERYTHING the game needs. And he will respectably do them. He is a cut-throat player. By far the smartest player I know. He knows what is happening before it happens and is able to relay everything about it. Yet the most impressive thing about him is how he has the ability to shift roles seamlessly throughout a game. Hes always doing so and its his 2nd nature and the reason for his teams success. But does he brag about it? NO. It is something he knows. It does not need to be spoken. He also has the ability to cope with his downfalls and turn them around. He never leaves a game that he or the team has performed poorly and leaves it to the wind. Immediately he knows what was wrong, what he can improve on, what we can improve on or what we diddn't even try to do. How many of you can sit down after a terrible game and admit what you did wrong and actually FIX it in a matter of minutes? Not a one of you can. Every single one of you will have a bad game, and blame it on your "team mates". There is not a damn person here that can deny that. Not even your GREATS OF GAMINGVIDZ can do what he does. He is by far the best team player on this site. The reason you flame and hate him is unclear to me. He deserves the best treatment from all you. He has MORE than earned it. He has turned everything in his game around. And he has come out on top in every way. He deserves respect as a player AND a person. You should TRY and get the honor of playing with him. Maybe then some of you would see him as an unbelievable player.

Every single person who has ever said anything about either one of these players should be utterly ashamed of themselves. I am tired of hearing people make fun of either one of them. TRY THEM. I would love to see you stay on their level an entire game.

A very thoughtfull and well-written post Mitch. I like the way you think. And you should add yourself to that list of The Respected.

Actually I do have to say you are wrong. Breece, as much as you hate to think, You are one of the Gamingvidz Greats that i speak of. These are not the opinions of just me. These statements are completely based on facts. I am not allowing myself to be open to opinion. You are not excluded from any of this. You fall under the same category as the rest of us. So i ask you to act like it so the rest of us can keep respect. I love you like a brother, but I feel as though you are wrong to say that these are based on opinions.

Oh, and what was said about Quinn, I can attest to that. I never liked Quinn much, before I spent a little more time talking to him, and even meeting him in person. I can tell you all that EVERYONE is MUCH COOLER in PERSON than they are OVER THE INTERNET.

They are though, I can think of people here who are damn good players who get completely overlooked. These are just two people who you play a lot with so you based your thoughts about them on what you know about them because of how much you play with them. If you played with all of GV im sure you would find some good players who you never play with. (No not me, I really could care less what GV people think about my skill).

Yet i have played with the vast majority of gamingvidz. And I do not play with Folly. I do play with Quinn however. I cannot deny that. This thread is not to just boast on them however. This thread is calling out to every person that has made false accusations, who has down talked them, who has ever said anything about them or to them. These are the facts on which those people have no clue of. Only the people who KNOW these people will know this. These are not opinions. Breece, you have played with both, The last person I would think would call this opinion would be you. There is nothing of opinion in this post. If you would like me to make a post on the people with to big of egos, to big of thoughts, who think they are good. Then i will. And i will use facts to support my reasoning behind my decision. I am not an easy person to convince on anything. These Breece, are facts. That is how it is.

I have played with both and am friends with both. I just think your letting your friendship with them affect your thoughts and "facts" about how they play. Am I saying they are bad? No. Are you overhyping them just a little? Yes. I remember when QUINN said you should be on a Top 8 team or something. Are you a good player? Yes. No one is saying you aren't. Top 8 team material? No. He said that because he is friends with you, and to say Folly should be among players such as Defy, Saiyan, Strongside and Karma is just ridiculous and 100% bias opinion on your part.

I have never heard Folly "downtalked" before, and I can't imagine why anyone would have a reason to do so. Quinn has a reputation, and everyone on this forum has a different opinion about him, and most feel strongly in someway or another. I used to think Quinn was a total jerk, but once I had some contact with him outside of forum posting, I found him to be a decent guy. Especially after meeting him in person.

After having face-to-face conversations, and basically spending three days together, all the people who went to Charlotte view each other differently now. At least, I know I do. I think of Breece, Dave, Quinn, Chris, you (Mitch) and Frank in completely different ways than I did before Charlotte. The only way you can truly judge someone is through their character, and character cannot even begin to be judged based on communication through Forums or Xbox Live.

Anyone who has negative opinions of Quinn probably has these feelings as a result of things he has posted on these forums. In such a case, it is wrong to judge someone based on forum posts, and it is questionable to judge someone based on conversations on Xbox Live.
