Welp, it's official. I broke the turtle.

Dude, you're nuts, lol.


Circling back to why we are all here though.


Can you explain how posting a gif makes someone 'detached from reality'? Or would you like to admit you were just saying stupid fluff?

Oh no!!! I don't have the turtles respect!

Clearly that's what I wanted after making you my punching bag all evening.


TC - are you going to get in trouble with Leto for breaking your gag order?

TC - You're spiraling bro. Take a breath. Take a break. Go check in with Leto, get some words of encouragement. Come back when you've collected yourself and can at least attempt to make some sense.

I've just reviewed every post of yours in this thread, and they all lack the ? symbol.



Do you know what a question is? How dumb are you? Do I need to feel bad about beating up on you right now?

Bonus -

Oh, and in case anyone is wondering where it went. The TC beat down got moved to general.

20 bucks says TC goes dark for another week after this embarrassment.


Leto, pull his leash back bro. Show the turtle some mercy.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHF


OMFG AHFHADFHLEAHFEAOHFAHAHAHAHAH


THIS IS THE FUNNIEST THING EVER.

TC - you literally tried to insult me with those fvcking words of yours on the forum?!?!?!?!?/ OOMFG YOU'RE THE DUMBEST PERSRON EVER. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH





Wow. I can't breathe. Omfg, I'm laughing so hard. I have your head on a metaphorical pike right now. Holy fluff. This is the funniest thing ever.

TC- I'm not the one acting like a clinical psychologist on the forums.


You're the one with a reputation for acting more intelligent than everyone else.


Are you going to explain your 'detachment from reality' comment yet? Just tell the truth, you don't even know what you were saying, do you? Just spouting pure bs, right?

Also - TC, if THIS is the thread you're going to show people to display my antics, you're even dumber than I thought. There are 12 months of me blowing sh1t up around here. You can do much better than a thread where BH beats up a mental midget.

Oh, is that the defense you're going to go with TC?

BH is bad, look at his antics!


Yes, my antics of making you explain the words you say.


I'm sorry you can't just peddle non-sense anymore without being called on it. On my watch, words have meaning. And if you're going to say people are 'detached from reality', you're going to have to justify that claim.



Do you think you're a clinical psychologist or something? Why would you even make such a stupid fvcking claim? It was really dumb of you man. You make my job sooooo easy.

Doug - let me see if I can catch you up.


About a week ago, TC picked a fight with me. He lost, badly. In the midst of him losing, he stated that I was detached from reality in response to me posting a Jennifer Lawrence 'ok, sure' gif.

Since TC likes to act like the smartest person in the room, and he likes to flex his neuropsychology knowledge, I asked him to explain and expound upon that. He still has not been able to do that, which I find troubling considering he frequently likes to talk about people's mental states, conditions, diagnoses, etc.

Since then, someone decided to edit the Earth wiki to add onto the fact that he was a known cheater. Apparently they thought it should go in the public record that Turtle Crawler was and I quote 'my b1tch'.


I happened upon it the other day, and posted it here. I thought TC would want to clarify and un-b1tch himself. Sadly, I think he really might be my b1tch, which explains why he's avoiding me on the forums.



Here's the best part about all of this though. Turtle Crawler is really... how should I put this.... stupid. And he hasn't learned that you can't just hide from me. I'll be here... waiting.... As long as I have to.


He will have to deal with me eventually. He should probably just apologize and admit he didn't actually know what he was talking about. That's the easiest way out. I suspect he won't take the easy way out though, which if I'm being honest, is more fun for me.

I'll be doing another farm start. No, not farmer. Land farm, you know... the kind that everyone else takes from. Yep, I'm really good at those starts. Happy hunting everyone!

Nobody was asking for your opinion. I believe Slag was just informing us of the change.

Who let TC off his leash?!? He's not supposed to be allowed to post anymore, after utterly embarrassing everyone he is associated with.


Ya'll need to keep this fool tucked away in a dungeon somewhere.





Just kidding, let the Turtle out of the dungeon! It's fun to play with my food before I eat.



TC - I'm still waiting on an answer as to how someone posting a gif is indicative of them being 'detached from reality'. Do you think that people who post gifs think those gifs are actually real life, and not just a moving picture on the internet?

I think we are all waiting on an explanation on that one. I've asked you several times now, and we aren't going to move on until you either provide an answer, or admit you say stupid sh1t that makes no sense. The choice is yours, sir!

How would that be an accident? Was someone trying to BR bots or something?

Hahaha, I called it. I knew m4d was going to attack stone or rage.

They don't want to talk to you.

Says the person responding to me... again.

LOL

Nah, I stopped because I was too busy destroying Milkman and his legacy.

OK, #1, I didn't do anything. I'm just posting screenshots I found on the EE wiki.

#2, I think these are facts, no?

#3, I'm just a concerned citizen, trying to let Turtle Crawler know.

I don't know how to get a hold of TC, but someone should probably let him know.

You could start by just dealing with it in game and not using AT as your personal diary.

Follow it up by laying off the threats, cause ain't no one scurred.

And lastly - you call me by my appropriate color!

Nope, not at all.

I still think it's funny you're dictating to others how to play the game.

I think you're server C, so unfortunately I can't get some.

I think the VPNs being against the rules is something the community needs to revisit.

People who cheat, can easily do it without being detected on vpns. As someone who has cheated, I can tell you that I could do it again, with ease, if I wanted. Even when I got 'caught' cheating, they didn't catch all my multis, and they caught some people who weren't actually multis.


In other words, false positives and negatives. I think there are better ways to actually detect multis, and I think outlawing vpns negatively effects a lot of legitimate players.

Syko, you are not. I know using a VPN isn't an autoban, as I know a lot of people that have used them accidentally at times, myself included.

I knwo for a fact I've connected on a VPN this set, and my country isn't banned.

Wow, TC. I never took you for a coward. You won't even defend the comments you've made. Pathetic.


I guess you won't be posting on these forums anymore. What a shame :(

TC - Let's keep you on track sir.


Please comment on the post I quoted of yours. Are you still claiming that was not trash talk?



I'd really like you to 'utterly demolish' me on topic here. Show everyone how much smarter you are than me.

After you respond to that previous post, follow up with a response to this.

I've quoted for you, TWICE now, the post where you started trash talk to me.


Are you going to continue to ignore my proof? Or would you like to finally acknowledge you did, in fact, write what I quoted.


Or is this still the hallucination garbage you've drummed up?

OK, that first sentence of yours legit didn't make sense. So I'm going to just ignore it.


Let's go with the second sentence, and let's try REAL hard to stay on topic here.



I have no empathy for others. What is your evidence for this?


Follow up question, can you explain how a lack of empathy for others translates into an inability to conceive a reality where your opponents aren't crazy?

I know of individuals who lack empathy. There are plenty of individuals with have mental diagnoses that have impaired empathy. That lack of empathy does not impair their ability to perceive reality though.

You can absolutely not care about someone, or something, but still understand perceive the world accurately.



I'd really like you to explain how you connected those two thoughts. And again, happy for you to cite DSM 5 page numbers so that I can follow along. I've got my copy right here on my desk, ready to learn from you.

Can you please explain to me how I've 'detached' and created my own reality.


To the best of my knowledge I just quoted your post. Are you saying that the post I quoted didn't actually happen?

Quoted it for you again, TC.



Who else see's this hallucination? Maybe we are all on some group LSD trip or something!

I hallucinate the post of yours I literally fvcking quoted?



Interesting! Anyone else see that hallucination?!?

Oh I know it's a fight. And Empy has been white knighting for you for 24 hours now.


I think you're a little scared to actually address the points I'm raising, because I think you know how poorly it's going to turn out for you. I'll be honest, this strategy of yours, although pathetic, is probably your best bet. Call me annoying, talk about my posts being too long. Maybe say people don't like me.


Its kind of a tired strategy, but your options are limited, so I don't blame you for employing it.



Here's an alternative option for you though. Admit you shouldn't have attacked me. Admit when you said I was 'detached from reality' that you didn't actually know what those words meant. Admit you're not actually the smartest guy in the room. Maybe throw in a "Sorry, BH". And I'll let this go.



Orrrrrrrr, you can try to fish an effective strategy out of your man-purse. I'm hoping you dig in the purse, cause it's a hell of a lot more fun for me.



Your call, TC!

Oh, also....

"No one started trash talk to you bud"


You just going to ignore that I offered you irrefutable prove to that asinine comment of yours?


I know you went to the school of 'ignore info and hope it goes away' run by Dean Leto - But it's kinda like going to the University of Phoenix, isn't it? Not very good.... eek.


You want to at least acknowledge what you did. Or are you going to pretend that didn't happen and hope it goes away?

Nah, TC. It's called letting another man fight your battles for you. Which is sad. If you're gonna start a fight, at least stay in the ring to deal with the consequences. Taking advantage of Empy's loyalty to his people is a low move by you.


Am I surprised? No. You seem like the type of person who engages in a lot of low and fluffty moves. It's kinda your MO, isn't it?

Oh I'm sorry TC, did I misinterpret this message as somehow NOT trash talk?


Look bro- something you gotta come to terms with real quick.

I keep the receipts. And I hold people's feet to the fire.



Don't like it, don't come at me.




Would you like to recant your statement, or would you like me to add it to the list of things TC has said, are irrefutably wrong and stupid, and that he still hasn't acknowledged. I'm a big fan of accountability, if you haven't learned yet. And I WILL ensure you are held accountable for the words you choose to spew.

Oh one more thing Empy.


This has nothing to do with M4D. I'll be honest, I didn't even know TC was in M4D until recently. So hopefully you don't feel the need to stick up for him. I get that you're a loyal guy and want to defend your peeps, but is TC really your peeps?


Let the dude fight his own battles. He's the one who started talking trash to me. Don't come save him now that I've fluff slapped him. Let him figure his own way out of this hole.

Empy - I hear what you're saying. We've had our discussion, and I've committed to not calling M4D cheaters anymore.

As for the discussion I'm having with TC about the psycho babble stuff, as you've put it....

Why am I doing that? I'm doing it because he made a claim that I was detached from reality. It is not only a personal attack/insult on me, it's also something that he doesn't appear to be able to back up.


He doesn't need to be formally trained in psychology or adjacent field to be knowledgeable on the topic. I'm not claiming that at all. I'm just asking him to justify his claims. If he's knowledgeabe, he's knowledgeable.

The guy has said, on these forums, that he is smarter than everyone else here. He is the one who put his intelligence in the public spotlight for debate. He then attempts to flex that intelligence on me by way of personal insults.

I am making him show the receipts. Back up your claims.


The problem is, and I don't TC just realize this, I am not someone he can just BS his way around. I actually do know what I'm talking about. I can see through all his hollow words and hold his feet to the fire. I can do this because I actually AM educated on this topic, and I actually AM an expert on this topic. He's just a charlatan.

It sucks to act like you're really freaking smart, and then have someone expose you. But that's what happens when you use your supposed intelligence as a sword, publicly. Don't like it, don't use your intelligence to attack others.


That's on TC bro, not me.

TC -


Still hoping you can share with me information about 'detachment from reality'. It's really interesting to me, and I'd love to learn from you!

Drow - I'm trying not to beat a dead horse here, but since you keep asking, I'll clarify for you.


My claim on these forums was that M4D has non-reformed cheaters in their alliance, and leaders who cover for those cheaters. Those claims are well-founded and substantiated.


I do not know if they are cheating this round. I don't have access to any of the information that would allow me to know that. My name in game is in response to them attacking me unprovoked initially this set, and then a further kill run on me after I defended myself when I was attacked 600 times, and they claimed my 1 retaliation was 'unprovoked', hence the laughing thread I made.


The country name 'mad cause they cheat' doesn't refer to active cheating, or past tense cheating. It's like if someone said 'youre made cause you cook food'. They aren't saying I'm ACTIVELY cooking food. They are saying that at some point in time I've cooked food, and that's why I'm mad.


Same idea here.


More than that though, the country name reason exists mostly to ruffle feathers. It's a sore spot for M4D to be called cheaters. And I didn't like that they attacked me multiple times this round. So I hit back, rhetorically.




Again though - trying to let that horse die. Empy and I have had some great conversations and he's shared a lot of wisdom with me. So I let him know I'd lay off the cheating talk. I think I made my point clear about Leto and his actions, no need to continue to make those points anymore.



Hopefully that clears it up!

Drow - I'm not making any claims at all currently. I'm just seeking to understand the clinical justification that TC is going to provide us for me being detached from reality. I've got my DSM 5 handy, as soon as TC wants to reference a page for me. Really looking to learn from him.

Oh, I'm sorry TC. I made a mistake about the intention of your post.

But let's just go with what you just said.

How does me not understanding what you say indicate a 'detachment from reality'.


Are you sure those are the correct words you're trying to use? Could you maybe point me to the page in the DSM 5 that corresponds with what exactly you're talking about. I'm assuming this is some sort of mental health condition/disorder you're attempting to describe?


I'd really like to learn more from you, you sound so educated about this.

Oh you're going to go with the diversion and deflection tactic, clever! Don't actually respond to anything I've said, instead make non sequitor statements that aren't valuable for anything more than a higher word count on a term paper.



I'll ask again.

What about someone posting a gif on a forum makes them 'detached from reality'?


Or if you'd prefer you can just admit that what you said didn't really make any sense, and we can move on. Your choice.

I agree with Vic
