  Oh, I see..  Yep, I read his posts here and noticed him a couple of times
  on some servers. Yep, I thought he knew what he's talking about 'till now
  when he thought we're borgs. Guess I was totally wrong.

  Heh, that's what you'd expect from a good TEAM? only you and another player
  took most planets. A 2-man team, eh??
  We're talking about INL and scrimmages, kid. Total armies bombed and
  planets taken don't give you a shit. So, don't talk bullshit here.

  The fact a blessed borg exists at ISU doesn't necessarily mean we were
  using that borg. If you are talking about Scout Popcorn, I know him better 
  than you do.

  You sure talk like a kid here. I can't believe you're a captain.
  I am the server god and I have reserved.c. I am also on the team.
  Any idea how many server gods out there who have reserved.c and are also 
  on a team??  How would you know whether they are abusing it? Answer this
  if you can. 

  So, later when you play a good team like, say, CMU (who some of the 
  members have reserved.c) you won't even think they're borgs because 
  they are known as good players?? I myself admit CMUers are great players.
  But your reasoning is really dumb if you think this way. Not so many
  ISU players post to r.g.n so not so many outside players know about them.
  Also not so many ISU players play on bronco or rwd4, etc.   

  All I can say is you won't understand this until you are trustworthy enuff
  to have access to reserved.c. period.
  Maybe this statement is not worth a thing to you since you have a 
  narrow-minded brain : I have never let any of my friends touch/read/see/look
  at reserved.c and I will never will. period.
  You can ask *any* IAstater here. (You may know some since you know who 
  blessed the borg you talked about)


>   Drop the thread already. You ain't getting anything from me, and the only

  That's because you even don't know what you've been talking about, kid.

  Do you have a reputation?? I *doubt* it.
  Oh now you do, after accusing us, you're really famous around ISU and r.g.n
  people : A pathetic captain who can't face a scrimmage lose by a new team.
  If you did have a reputation, what a good excuse to defend your "reputation"
  (if any) eh?? 

  Face it and learn how to captain a team, kid.

  Hell, if we did want to cheat on you, we would never needed a
  blessed/unblessed borg. I could have used my XSG. 
  Hell, if we were so desperate that we thought we needed a borg to win
  a game, we wouldn't use it against a small infamouse team like yours.
  We would rather use it against some decent teams like SIDE SALAD!!!
