"After the Overload -vs. - Impact game I had some thoughts about how we ( Overload ) have been acting lately. We've always been acting cocky and arrogant but we do so because it's fun ( on vent ), and 90 % of the time we stick with the "you suck" and "gtfo lowskillers" type of comments that don't really hurt people in any serious way. I'm not saying this is right but there is a difference with what I'm about to talk about.
The game against Impact started off on the wrong feet immediately, we allowed them to play with mercs but when they came on the server they refused to put real nicks. We expected them to be a bit nicer after we had allowed them to break the rules but they weren't, a flame war started and after that it obviously escalated.
When we lost the game we were really bitter because they had used another merc, without breaking the rules yes but I think most of us can agree that the usage of Drago should have been forbidden, I see this as a fail for clanbase.
After the game we first asked a forfeit because we thought we deserved it. When it became obvious it wasn't going to happen we started flaming a bit, lying a bit, and we kept on demanding the forfeit because it was fun to see how everyone was really annoyed by it and how everyone took us seriously.
However, after a while we started flaming some people thoroughly and that's where it went wrong. Being a bit harsh, rude or arrogant might be fun as long as it doesn't become personal, but after what we all said to some people I think we crossed the line.
I have to say that I'm not speaking on behalf of my team, I'm purely doing this in my own name. Hereby I offer my apologies to everyone we insulted and annoyed lately, and especially to Evo because he didn't deserve any of this.

thats a reason why im playing et
Aren't there any other ways to have fun in this game apart from flaming etc. I know it's very stale as of late but there's gotta be a better option ;o
Just wanna agree the comment against evo was definitely unnecessary and way over the line. If it's what you guys consider funny that's pretty low.
at least you have some decency left to apologize to evo, because you really did go over the line there. I doubt that something like that would ever cross the mind of other Belgians.
what did kevin say anyway?
But when it gets out of the head and a n1 flame concert begins... Ofcourse afterwards a journal like this is needed in this inet serious business community
gl all ec teams
waiting for a non-forfeited/non-mix-team-game to be played in EC XVII
² Sneek: even after a lot of weeks without ET, I enjoyed the flame post
To read everything check kevins journal over vs impact (go to it via his profile)
I bet you would have much more fun without useless flamefights every now and then
Still nice of u to atleast publically apologise.
About the merc, wouldnt it be easier for u if they use two mercs instead of a normal lineup?
ok now your gonna get fucked up at cdc, you have my word on that
