Hello Everyone.
Private Pride is about how privates, cooks, and cadets usually get "Mocked" or people automaticly think they aren't good at CC. What we will do in the clan is train those who need it, (strategy) but also discuss how to deal with being "mocked" or having people think they aren't good automaticly from seeing them as a private 1st class or below. I have an example here: (this actually happened, the bolded stuff is important):
2009-03-15 16:55:38 - _______: gg guys... I should've known better than to join with a cook.
2009-03-16 03:23:29 - __________: thnx...u 2...hope he atleast made ya a good meal.....lol
2009-03-16 07:00:52 - Dublanous1 [team]: I am not a cook
2009-03-16 07:04:14 - Dublanous1: guys, I am not a cook! I am going up slowly but I won't be a cook anytime soon, besides, you two ganged up on a private just because you could get cheap points from that, and you chose to join, so stop making fun of me, I am going to be a 1st class soon
2009-03-16 07:05:07 - Dublanous1 [team]: attack cameroon>>Sudan next turn
2009-03-16 07:45:49 - _______ [team]: We've already lost....
2009-03-16 07:46:48 - _______ [team]: I may be the BEST team player on this site. Go look at my win/loss record in team games. Especially doubles - 2 teams.
2009-03-16 07:47:19 - _______ [team]: By not doing 2 things, you've put us completely behind the 8 ball.
2009-03-16 07:47:43 - _______ [team]: 1. You didn't break Blue in Europe which would've saved +4 troops.
2009-03-16 07:48:07 - _______ [team]: 2. You attacked me which cost me 3 troops and you at least 3 troops
2009-03-16 07:48:34 - _______ [team]: 3. You've had some stacks to eliminate their territory bonus but haven't attacked aggressively enough with them.
2009-03-16 07:49:03 - _______ [team]: 4. Going back to (2.) it also cost ME TROOPS on my territory bonus.
2009-03-16 07:49:09 - _______[team]: WE'VE LOST
2009-03-16 07:50:54 - _______ [team]: It's okay though. I wasn't very good when I started playing on here. But I didn't get to this rank by mistake. You should learn from the more experienced players.
2009-03-16 07:53:06 - _______ [team]: ....and to be fair, we may have lost anyway. BTW, do you have BOB installed?
2009-03-16 11:14:36 - _______: First Class... I'm ranked 421 on the site and about to win 5 other games. Maybe I know how to play.
2009-03-16 17:14:37 - Dublanous1 [team]: Yeah, you know how to play, but you don't need to get hyped up about it
2009-03-16 17:17:34 - Dublanous1 [team]: This is for fun, a friendly online game, and I don't want to get critical about it, so what your s0o0o good, just calm down, this is a game, not your life
2009-03-16 17:18:05 - Dublanous1 [team]: In other words--I dont want to make this into an fight
2009-03-16 18:35:23 - _______ [team]: Whatever. If you want to be a bad teammate that is your choice.
2009-03-16 18:37:49 - _______ [team]: Just pointing out that you cost us the game. It's a lot more fun to at least have a chance to win.
2009-03-16 18:38:26 - Dublanous1 [team]: I'm not a bad team-mate, I'm just not "As good as you"
(I took out the names of the players to keep their privacy, but this did happen).
See? This really happened, and I want to do something about it, because I'm sure I'm not the only one.
