I'm going to lay it out: it is hard being a professional gamer. Often I will find myself in situations where fat disgusting nerds with no talent get angry at me for just trying to enjoy a fun game. Although we are both competing, there shouldn't be any excuse to not have fun. However, I am often bombarded with insults questioning my sexuality, intellectual capability, and physical fitness, despite proving time and time again that I am not flawed in any of those fields of character. Is it because these people are jealous of my natural intelligence that G-d has blessed me with? Or are they simply just upset because of losing? I would expect that people have learned by now that the odds of winning against me are very slim, and that you shouldn't get your hopes up when you are trying duel the Champion. Below is an excerpt from a very distraught quake player who goes by the pseudonym vamp1re.
[13:51:16] [vamp1re] yo man
[13:51:31] [vamp1re] seriously i appologise
[13:51:37] [vamp1re] i let my frustration get the best of me constantly
[13:51:52] [vamp1re] if you dont want to play me because of that i understand
[13:52:04] [vamp1re] if that made you leave i get it
[13:52:05] [vorpal] its not that
[13:52:08] [vorpal] its that i am retiring
[13:52:09] [vorpal] from cpm
[13:52:12] [vorpal] as there is no competition
[13:52:27] [vamp1re] you are kidding right?
[13:52:29] [vamp1re] well
[13:52:33] [vamp1re] me and gellehsak are playing now
[13:52:34] [vamp1re] as well as tom
[13:52:37] [vorpal] no
[13:52:39] [vorpal] i am not kidding
[13:52:43] [vorpal] gellesak almost lost to falko
[13:52:48] [vorpal] he is a shadow of his former self
[13:52:50] [vamp1re] thats fine
[13:52:56] [vorpal] that is not fine, my dear!
[13:52:58] [vamp1re] neither of us have played in 6 months
[13:53:24] [vamp1re] people play this catch up game while your skills deteriorate
[13:53:30] [vamp1re] personally i havent played well in over a year
[13:53:39] [vorpal] ive seen you play multiple times in one week
[13:53:39] [vamp1re] but now that there is that tourney in sweden
[13:53:44] [vamp1re] yes
[13:53:46] [vorpal] on top of that
[13:53:51] [vorpal] you have been playing literally seven years longer
[13:53:51] [vamp1re] with 0-130 ping fucking around
[13:53:54] [vorpal] there is no excuse, falko!
[13:53:56] [vorpal] er
[13:53:57] [vorpal] vampire
[13:54:09] [vamp1re] i cant tell if you are just trying to make me mad or what
[13:54:12] [vamp1re] but
[13:54:16] [vamp1re] here is what happens
[13:54:19] [vamp1re] when you start a game
[13:54:22] [vamp1re] veryone starts together
[13:54:28] [vorpal] i am not trying to make you mad
[13:54:33] [vorpal] i am putting it out on the table
[13:54:40] [vamp1re] good
[13:54:41] [vamp1re] put it out
[13:54:50] [vamp1re] if you want to put it out i will too
[13:54:53] [vamp1re] im losing right now
[13:54:58] [vamp1re] i plan on winning
[13:55:09] [vamp1re] if you think there is no competition
[13:55:13] [vamp1re] play me in one week
[13:55:41] [vamp1re] when ive played enough games to actually have my head on right
[13:55:41] [vorpal] im afraid i will still double your score in a week
[13:55:44] [vamp1re] and as far as competition
[13:55:50] [vamp1re] you are NO competition on cpm3a
[13:55:56] [vamp1re] you are a great cpm22 player
[13:56:07] [vamp1re] btu to say tehre is no competition because you can beat me on one map fairly consistently
[13:56:14] [vamp1re] is like saying, i am better than rat
[13:56:20] [vamp1re] because i beat him on 3a 4 times in a row
[13:56:22] [vamp1re] 3 years ago
[13:56:29] [vamp1re] i should have quit then
[13:56:33] [vamp1re] at my pinnacle
[13:56:34] [vamp1re] right?
[13:56:39] [vamp1re] because there was no competition?
[13:57:02] [vorpal] vamp1re spamming me with messages will not reverse my decision to retire from cpm
[13:57:09] [vorpal] there is no competition
[13:57:19] [vorpal] within 1.5 years i have conquered all
[13:57:25] [vorpal] versus the 8 year players
[13:57:26] [vorpal] such as yourself
[13:57:33] [vamp1re] what a joke
[13:57:35] [vamp1re] you cant even beat me on 3a
[13:57:42] [vamp1re] and you think youve conquered me
[13:57:46] [vorpal] okay, vamp1re!
[13:57:47] [vamp1re] i would NEVER lose to you in a match
[13:57:53] [vorpal] why are you getting defensive
[13:57:55] [vorpal] its just a game
[13:58:00] [vorpal] of which i happen to be the best at with such little experience
[13:58:04] [vamp1re] why are you OFFENSIVE
[13:58:15] [vorpal] i am also on the recieving end of an age handicap
[13:58:18] [vorpal] however
[13:58:20] [vamp1re] im defending myself because you feel like
[13:58:20] [vorpal] i have overcome all
[13:58:23] [vamp1re] you are the best
[13:58:24] [vamp1re] haha
[13:58:25] [vamp1re] its hilarious
[13:58:26] [vorpal] ALL OF THE ODDS, MY DEAR vamp1re
[13:58:29] [vamp1re] nobody even plays right now
[13:58:34] [vorpal] i am aware of that
[13:58:38] [vorpal] when there is a good competitor
[13:58:42] [vorpal] who dominates as i do
[13:58:47] [vorpal] i will come back from retirement
[13:58:48] [vamp1re] oh god lol
[13:58:50] [vorpal] but until then!
[13:58:51] [vamp1re] you are too funny
[13:59:02] [vamp1re] as i put it out before
[13:59:05] [vamp1re] if you come back in one week
[13:59:06] [vamp1re] to play me
[13:59:11] [vamp1re] youll see what happens
[13:59:16] [vamp1re] if you wanna call it quits now go ahead
[14:08:07] [vorpal]

[14:14:19] [vamp1re] i really dont know what to think about you
[14:14:32] [vamp1re] out of all the times ive played you
[14:14:41] [vamp1re] i did not think that you were the type of person to do something that mean
[14:15:22] [vorpal] i just told you it was to hype up my retirement
[14:15:24] [vorpal] dont worry about it man
[14:15:36] [vamp1re] you hyped it up at my expense
[14:15:45] [vorpal] no one is going to think less of you
[14:15:54] [vorpal] as far as they will see it, you are still champion!
[14:16:09] [vamp1re] ive never been a champion you psycho
[14:16:14] [vamp1re] i never even claimed to be
[14:16:26] [vorpal] people still view you as number one
[14:16:27] [vorpal] its okay man
[14:16:33] [vamp1re] i dont care about that man
[14:16:34] [vamp1re] at all
[14:16:46] [vamp1re] i dont even plan on winning if i make it to sweden
[14:16:51] [vamp1re] i just want to meet my friends from eu
[14:16:55] [vamp1re] who ive played with for many years
[14:17:19] [vamp1re] i was hoping that maybe youd be willing to help me practice for that
[14:17:31] [vamp1re] so im sorry my frustration caused you to do all this
[14:18:10] [vorpal] euros suck
[14:18:11] [vorpal] dont worry about it
[14:18:30] [vorpal] i saw you almost beat vo0 the other day
[14:18:34] [vorpal] you will be fine, my dear!
[14:19:04] [vamp1re] whatever man
[14:19:08] [vamp1re] i just dont understand you
[14:19:38] [vorpal] im just retiring
[14:19:38] [vorpal] from cpm
[14:19:43] [vorpal] i dont see what there isnt to understand
[14:19:55] [vorpal] i also dont see why you are making a big deal out of it
[14:20:21] [vamp1re] im playing horrible right now, you decide to take a demo of me being frustrated and losing to you
[14:20:23] [vamp1re] and talking shit
[14:20:30] [vamp1re] then take that demo as your retirement
[14:20:34] [vamp1re] post it with a load of horse shit
[14:20:37] [vamp1re] about you conquering me
[14:20:46] [vamp1re] how can you not see how that would bother someone
[14:21:16] [vorpal] i dont think you were playing horrible
[14:21:22] [vorpal] you played as good as you usually do!
[14:21:30] [vamp1re] unfortunately that isnt true
[14:21:43] [vamp1re] maybe i should just post the 6 games i beat you today
[14:21:52] [vorpal] you played the same you did vs me like 3 months ago
[14:22:02] [vorpal] except now you can rail
[14:22:07] [vamp1re] ive had a rotten internet connection for 6 years
[14:22:13] [vamp1re] err
[14:22:14] [vamp1re] 6 months
[14:22:34] [vorpal] you had fine ping then
[14:22:38] [vorpal] even or better
[14:22:56] [vamp1re] whatever you're right
[14:22:58] [vamp1re] this shouldnt bother me
[14:23:14] [vamp1re] it just makes you look silly
[14:23:32] [vorpal] it shouldn't bother you, you are right
[14:23:36] [vorpal] i dont believe it makes me look silly though
[14:25:44] [vamp1re] anyways
[14:25:55] [vamp1re] ill put a challenge out on the table
[14:26:23] [vorpal] i retired
[14:26:25] [vorpal] i cant go back on that
[14:26:30] [vorpal] im playing a real game called "quake world" now
[14:26:33] [vamp1re] coward
[14:26:36] [vorpal] i think you should play it as well!
[14:26:39] [vamp1re] you ran away
[14:26:42] [vamp1re] claiming im not a challenge
[14:26:46] [vorpal] i dont think it would turn out any different from the last 3 duels we have
[14:26:47] [vamp1re] so im challenging you
[14:27:04] [vamp1re] actually
[14:27:08] [vorpal] you should have thought about winning before i retired
[14:27:08] [vamp1re] just before the last 3 duels
[14:27:11] [vamp1re] i beat you twice on cpm22
[14:27:18] [vorpal] then i changed sensitivities
[14:27:19] [vamp1re] and before that you had beaten me once on 22
[14:27:22] [vamp1re] before that
[14:27:22] [vorpal] to something i am use to
[14:27:24] [vamp1re] i beat you twice
[14:27:26] [vamp1re] badly on cpm3a
[14:27:34] [vorpal] that was also with my old sensitivity
[14:27:36] [vorpal] i dont see your point
[14:27:38] [vamp1re] ahh so you have the same excuse as me too
[14:27:48] [vamp1re] as i was using double my sens
[14:27:51] [vorpal] except i undid my excuse
[14:27:55] [vorpal] and won all of the following games
[14:27:58] [vorpal] however you did not
[14:28:11] [vamp1re] i undid my excuse
[14:28:13] [vamp1re] and you retired
[14:28:14] [vamp1re] lol
[14:28:17] [vamp1re] i didnt even get a chance
[14:28:35] [vorpal] what sensitivity do you need to try and outrocket me anyway
[14:28:44] [vorpal] even though i changed it
[14:28:49] [vorpal] i still am like 16 inches / 360
[14:28:52] [vamp1re] what you mean
[14:29:02] [vorpal] you arent known for your amazing rail or lg
[14:29:05] [vorpal] you are just vamp1re
[14:29:10] [vorpal] king of forwarding like a retard and rocketing
[14:29:20] [vorpal] you didnt lose on aim
[14:29:25] [vamp1re] actually i was known for having one of the best lgs in the game
[14:29:33] [vamp1re] and having very clever tactics on 3a
[14:29:39] [vamp1re] ive never been excellent on other maps
[14:29:51] [vamp1re] but ive been able to get by in matches
[14:29:59] [vamp1re] and you are right
[14:30:01] [vamp1re] i didnt lose on aim
[14:30:03] [vamp1re] i lost on frustration
[14:30:17] [vorpal] i doubt it was fustration
[14:30:21] [vorpal] you do the same thing every duel
[14:30:32] [vorpal] imo you're just like a falko
[14:30:35] [vorpal] with 8 years of experience
[14:30:35] [vamp1re] lol
[14:30:38] [vorpal] you do the same stuff he does
[14:30:50] [vamp1re] you could say that now its fine
[14:31:10] [vorpal] ?
[14:31:10] [vamp1re] you retired
[14:31:13] [vamp1re] you can say anything you want
gets boring but goes on a lot longer
