Akiha's influence on CC; You play with it every day

In an earlier 'who's the most influential in CC' poll ( http://forums.cybercitizens.com/topic/6787411/1 ), Rayham won and I wasn't even on it. Now in a new poll ( http://forums.cybercitizens.com/topic/6828886/1 ) I have once again been overlooked. I mean seriously Tehol? Porter? no disrespect but the poll is suggesting that Tehol and Porter have had a greater influence on CC then me? :crying:

It is getting rather vexing to be overlooked all the time. It's not my desire to win a poll or anything, but I'd like to think I've I've done enough in the community to be worth a mention. So I have decided to let off some steam and point out a few things.



Why do warrants have a 24 hour cooldown?
http://forums.cybercitizens.com/topic/6659000/1/#post8006111
back in 2009 I was involved in a slight arguement with a guy called Spartacus. I forgot what it was about but the bottom line is that Spartacus would warrant me, and tankshock who disliked Spartacus would instantly remove it and vice versa. Admin introduced a 24 hour cooldown.

Why are there 400 mile Ferraris?
http://forums.cybercitizens.com/topic/6673706/1/
In days of old, a 200 mile Lamborghini was the top tier car. I complimented Admin on his work varying the car icons and suggested a Ferrai Italia 457. He liked my suggestion and gave himself a 400 mile Ferrari lol. Admin even seems to have used the image I posted when making the icon. Afaik Admin later raffled it to the playerbase, and eventually added it into the game as the top tier car.

Why is there sniper rifles?
http://forums.cybercitizens.com/topic/6673908/1/#post8022425
Iirc, when Admin introduced weapons the best weapon was the assault rifle. The community made some comment topics and on the one in the link I posted some youtube videos of the Barret M107 sniper rifle. 1 or 2 days later the sniper rifle mysteriously appeared in the weapon lists as the top tier weapon. :devil:

Why is weapon damage the way it is?

Sniper Rifles used to do 17% damage, base damage was 5% damage. It was eventually changed exactly because I was running around knocking off 22% (or 20stats maximum per stat bar) and wiping out months of work in the space of a day. all damage (base, and weapon) was cut in half.





Those are the things I am most proud of. I've also done other things alongside others in suggesting things like moving the residential areas from their awful original locations. I admit most was done early in the game when Admin could still be bothered to work on the game. i've also just generally been around a long time.

Everytime you are arrested because some dumb @#$%& wrongly puts a warrant on you, and couldn't take it off in time...Everytime you move with the 400 mile Ferrari equipped...when you buy a sniper rifle...everytime you use a weapon or are damaged by it...

...I hope you remember that Akiha had a hand in influencing that. There maybe other far more politically influential than me. But I think I'm one of the few who can say they had a fundamental effect on the way the game is played.

A bit more influential than Tehol and Porter I hope. :tongue:

You are forgetting the vast political influence Porter has had on gameplay itself. Whereas you were just a minor player of no significance. ;)

And not to forget the awesome pictures Akiha has drawn for us. You are my hero Akiha. Every time I went and pounded someone to death I was thinking about you Godzilla'ing through a city.

Great....I made Akiha mad.

Hey, I apoligize. I just didn't dig deeper, I guess. I named people that were on the top of my head.

But you forgot that you were the person that beat up Murph AND evaded Ludwig. I applaud you on that one. It cracked me up.

I more so see it as why care? Influential people are boring...

As long as you know what you've done, that's all that matters.

Edit: actually, you slap a lot of idiots. that matters.

No offense Akiha, but who cares? I understand you're jealous of those who make every list and get all the sexy records, but tooting your own horn is just bad form, wot wot.

Honk your own horn if you've got it!

Don't listen to Tank, he's been your competitor for years. The stuff you've done to influence just the fighting dynamics is enough to put you at the top of any list in CC. You may think that people over look you, but you know your always the second or third person I contact when I have something cooking. Lately you turn me down more than normal, but the fact that you always have the second or third offer in anything going down should tell you how much your appreciated by the people who know what to respect in a person.

Honestly, you don't get the attention you deserve. I'll admit I'm to blame. I do nothing but run my mouth off and I end up with more time in the spotlight over dumb crap like rigged elections and NSNN (even when you co-anchor with me, and do 99% of the work on the story and graphics, I still get 90% of the attention, not fair) than you do for game changing things you've been at the root of.

It is a shame that people who deserve it don't get the credit for the things they do to contribute to our community. Hell, you had much more credit when you were the evil demi-goddess running around killing people, making Kevin change his coding so it would be harder to 1 shot someone.

Lol for years Ray? I understand you're trying to make him feel better even though no one thought of him in both polls, but he's a big boy. I don't think he needs the fake pep talk to get his day going.

#1 It's not a pep talk.
#2 Look at who made both polls, neither of them really knew that much about people who influenced anything.
#3 Akiha has been a huge influence that more than deserves some recognition.
#4 Yes years. There have only been two big guns in CCv2, you and Akiha. No matter who holds the #1 spot right now everyone knows if the game ever hit a reset it would be you and him racing for the #1 spot, these other guys are amateurs.
#5 If you wanna change your role from Tankshock to a troll, your going to need to find Squinj and have him give you lessons, you suck at it.
#6 Love ya man!

How could I know I wouldn't like it before I read it? There are ways to make topics with titles that aren't that appealing still have content worth reading.

However, the way you wrote this just makes you come off as if you want to throw a hissy fit that you weren't thought of by a person who clearly was not around when you had a real influence on CC. He already apologized and all the older forum members recognized you should have been on the list. Yet that wasn't enough to satisfy your ego, so you went ahead and listed a bunch of things that you were proud of accomplishing in CC. What did you expect from this topic?

Had you written this more as a criticism of the poll the topic would get your point across without looking so childish. Even then nothing of value springs up from the post, but at least respect for the point of view would be maintained. In any case, should you continue to make posts like this, I feel your user title shall become unfitting.



P.S. I didn't write this out the first time because I saw no need for it. Surely you knew what I meant with it, or so I thought. Since it went over your head as mindless trolling, I decided to articulate the post a bit.

I'm no scientist, but didn't Charles make that apology AFTER Akiha made this topic? Like hours after? And didn't Akiha say something along the lines of:

Akiha
 
To be fair Charles is relatively new - and it is shown in his choices.
But honestly, that poll was extremely poorly made. Sure Charles wasn't around when Akiha was headlining. But even since he has been around Akiha has been more influential then Porter, Nanotriad, and Tank. And God knows Asriel has been more influential then half that list combined.

I am not complaining about me not being on there. I don't think I am influential at all and certainly shouldn't be. But there is a lot of people left out that I feel should be there. And a lot of people on there that shouldn't be.
