Why would I ruin a perfectly good lcd monitor with a sharpie pen?

Its a black circular sticker, right Grizz?  That's what I use but as you can see from my hit %, I rock...

Over the years I've noticed the guy who codes the game takes a cautious approach to drastic social changes becasue unlike 10010010 01000110's, you almost cannot make a counter change to put people back where the were before you screwed the pooch. I cannot remember him saying he wouldn't consider requests from the past if the current present has changed to warrent them. Or he was not open to a different presentation of the same ideas.

He still needs to hear something that makes sense to him becasue in the end he's the guy who takes the fall if your idea screws everyone elses pooch. In that case you walk away with your anonymous Internet entity intact and he takes a hit on his subscriptions. You got all the upsides with absolutly no risks.

I think charging you loud whiners hundreds of perks to hop sides at will is a good solution. If you then started whining to negotiate the price down due to hardship or lack of Ze Skills, the counter is very simple. You are the boogha boogha fight guys and claim it so here in the forums all the time. Go win fights, earn points, and quit whining. Or wait 12 hours.

so I can see where I am aiming  :old:
Isn't that was a gunsight is for?  :lol

But really if I'm using the arrows to move my head to the side where I can't see the gun sight, I don't need to use a dot on screen to know where my guns are gonna be aimed...Something I magically learned lol

That's the difference between shooting a .216 and a .143
