Sportsmanship
« on: January 20, 2013, 11:34:41 AM »
Who in the game would you nominate as sportsam of the year 2012?  This should be someone who fights hard, never complains or puffs their chest and maybe gives a salute for a fight well fought.  They should also carry themselves this way on the BBs (if they partake) as well as in-game.

I'll throw my initial vote out to 999000.  Who do you feel is deserving?
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

Probably several deserving,  but I wouldn't argue with 999000.   A class act for sure.    :salute

And let's actually do this.  We all get put off by the "look at me"  stuff that goes on.   Let's try to recognize those who do it the right way.  :aok

I would nominate 2 people,

DR7, because he shows no loalty to one country and no matter which country he goes to he gets mad respect from everyone.

999000 also for the same reasons.

I want to nominate a group of players.

All those "little people" who will never make it BBS fame - Getting shot down again and again, yet don't clog up CH200 or country with their whines about how much enemy, puffy or anything else sucks, totally unlike many of our K/D 3+ divas...

I am offended by the term "little people".  I prefer to be called a midget, thank you very much.

I think Latrobe deserves a nomination here as well.  He fights hard, is quick to return a salute, puts himself in situations where he is frequently outnumbered but never complains about it or rants on 200.  MOST IMPORTANTLY his contributions to the forum are always positive.  He is quick to offer help and answer questions and doesn't feed the trolls like so many others do.  Oh, and he happens to be a very good stick too.

There are probably other vets like this whose names are escaping me at the moment.  There are likely some who deserve more recognition for the classy way they play the game, but aren't recognized because they don't do their fighting on 200 or here on the forum.  I for one have never understood why some people think their post count is a badge of honor.  I respect the players who don't contribute to the daily muck, but always contribute something positive to the forum when they do post.

It will be interesting to see how far a thread goes when people are asked to say something nice about somebody else as compared to "look at me" and mud-slinging posts.  

+1 to the OP, great topic!

10 bucks says this turns into an ankle humping troll fest by you know what.

But for my vote, Debrody. Not so much as MA fighting..but I spent too much time in the DA with him not to give him my vote. Remember our first DA match Debbie? :D

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.
