he started posting in those topics in like September 2016 so yeah.

long time to play a game you hate

He doesn't hate the game, he hates that he's not the #1 in the world player and will do anything to explain away why he lost any given game.

This sounds like a story where someone should have archived his posts over time for maximum effect.

I believe someone once claimed that, after paying someone to get him to Legend rank, he then went onto the reddit and bragged about being legend rank.

I don't doubt that, but I feel like some editing and presentation would be necessary.

It isn't necessary because every single one of his posts in that topic is the same idea formed in different words. I quoted an old post of his as a reply to a recent one and it was the exact same message.

It's actually kind of funny when you look at it over time.

Nah. I don't participate in politics, wrestling, or Hearthstone. All of my interactions with Ulti have been fine, and I've been here a long ass time. Maybe we just communicate in topics that aren't very divisive.
---

No, I dislike blocking people.

Damn, I feel like I haven't seen you in a long time, Comm.

and hope others don't engage his obvious baiting behavior.

This is a lost cause tho.
---

No. I've never blocked anyone as far as I can remember. If someone annoys me on here I'll just leave whatever topic I'm in and forget about it.

In fact, he's on my friends list despite the fact that we disagree on an incredible amount of political points since I'm a very liberal leaning person. I just know there's more to him than being a troll in politics topics.

He can be a rude person who is blind to his own rudeness quite often, but he's alright most of the time.

I have some of his alts blocked but not all of them

I'm a board 8 lurker, and I'm just about to block him. Him and Vlado are the Beavis and Butthead of this forum.

I wish that were true.
---

Yep, blocked him years ago.
---

Nope.

About a year ago, he made a complete ass of himself ignorantly shit talking my profession so I decided to actively ignore him.

I started communicating with him again recently, but not in any full sense.
---

Nah. There are way worse users around here that get a pass for being assholes because they fly under the radar.
---

hes a nice guy that needs a better hobby than to troll political topics

i recommend cement mixing
---

Hes fine, granted hes also kinda nice to me but I think he has a habit of taking things a little too personally and has issues in his life that he is taking out on other board 8ers.

Only two on my ignore now are Vlado and Preston
---

Never blocked, one of my closest friends on this board.

(Which is funny if you only look at our political views; I'm like an NDP Canadian, and he's a Trump American. We still get along just fine).
---

"No game of Hearthstone has ever been decided by skill," said nobody ever, except Ulti. However, Ulti's made it a point to say it enough to make up for the rest of the world.

Social media is poison.

Sure, like gluten is poison if you have celiac disease
---

yup, mainly due to APWT.

As Iceman said, MWC is passionate if a bit hard to actually engage.

Ulti is just a pest.
---

It really takes something for someone to be on my ignore list, and the I think two times someone managed that, I removed them from it again soon after, as the topics they were too much in purged. I'm too curious to have anyone on ignore and 99% of the time it's super easy to just ignore said posts, which is really what people who complain about quoting users they have on ignore should learn, since it's really not fair to ask of others to stop using the quote feature.

And as for Ulti, he has never bothered me, so I have never even considered it. Perhaps if I was brave enough to engage in political stuff here I'd understand why, but I keep out of that. He's good in contest stuff and his occasional playthrough topics, which is where I see him.
---

Hearthstone
---

Yes, because of politics.

Yes, because of hearthstone.

Yes, because of personal attacks against myself.

I haven't followed wrestling in a decade, but we'll throw in a yes for younger FD as well if he's just as bad in those topics.

And sure as others have pointed out he still has the rare "human" moment. But they have become fewer and further between and it isn't worth everything in between to get from one redeeming moment to the next.

content

Mostly agree
---

Nah

The stuff about Ulti that I don't like to read applies to lots of people in very specific topics. So i just don't click those.

Only person i have ever blocked is Preston who wished death on me, my son and my whole family but was for some reason not banned from this site.
---

I dont really block people, but then I hardly post here anyway!

also I kinda need to have mafia players unblocked
---

You know you are not important enough in the board if Preston never bothered you

Preston plz send me a nasty PM I want to feel important
---

Yes. Every so often I unblock him and then realize that I've made a mistake and back on the ignore list he goes. MWC too so stop quoting him you guys
---

I find blocking to not be my style.

It's also the truth.

And I don't hate Hearthstone.

I don't post in Hearthstone topics, only occasionally lurk them, because I don't really like the game much and it's not worth my time to play, but I feel like no one says this to you very often, so I'll say this once.

The reason why a game where the deciding moment was in an RNG card was still partially decided by skill is because a game existed for many turns before the RNG screwed you over. No one is saying there isn't an RNG element to the game-- and hell, maybe more of one than there should be, but having a game get decided by an RNG card means you weren't able to put the game away to begin with.

In probably 90% of games you complain about, the game was decided by skill-- it's just the skill decided the game at an earlier point than you're complaining about. The fact that you get games decided by RNG so often probably means you're squandering earlier advantages or just not efficiently ending games in general. I haven't played the game a ton but I feel like I've only had a very small handful of games where I felt RNG was directly to blame for the loss (usually super early game cards that got stupidly lucky like Mad Bombers or whatever)

Nothing you can say will convince him.
---

yeah there's a reason we don't say it to him very often. past experience has taught us well.
---

No

I did for a bit right after the election (or at least most of his alts?), but now I'm back down to just crazyisgood
---

Well I mean I have seen people try to "convince" him but it's usually "well herp why do pros have higher win rates" or something. I mean I do buy that people have said that before but yeah I feel like it hasn't been stressed enough.
---

Don't worry, he also thinks no boss fight in Dark Souls is won by skill.
---

Case in point I suppose.

Carry on, then, Hearthstone topic!
---

Once Ulti's entrenched on a position, he's not changing it publicly, no matter what.
---

The only reason I'd block someone is if they said something blatantly racist.

Ulti doesn't qualify for a block under that criteria.
---

scarletspeed7 posted...

Personally, I don't see the need to block him. When he gets most irritating, I'll ignore his posts and hope others don't engage his obvious baiting behavior.

Egging Ulti on is part of the fun though.

He unironically hates Magic the Gathering. You should see the fun we have with him on that board.

Kinda like if someone said the only reason a person would get cast on Survivor was because they were black?
---

No, but his Roman Reigns trolling is gonna make me strangle him IRL
---

I had to for a half-hour once because he was making me very angry by personally attacking a friend on the board, and it was to the point that I was just yelling profanities back at him

He has ME blocked though so things havent escalated since.

Dont fall for his human moments. They arent real.

I literally have Blizzard employees on record saying they designed that game with remove player skill in mind. I am objectively right on this. The very design of Hearthstone prevents any and all player skill from deciding any win or loss.

Everyone come to the Hearthstone topic for more quality posts such as this one.
