You are getting all you deserve. Respect is given where respect is due.

Hey, how many times do we have to go through this mate. Again and again, I, Max, and Darkshade (the latter two of which matter much more of course) have pleaded again and again to leave Dr. Mario alone. In my mind, he has redimed himself in playing a key role in rediscovering the Gyro Ball. The only reason I believe he held on so long is that he was afraid of the criticism of everyone saying things like you are. This has happened before again and again and the last thing we need is another fight. What he did was wrong, yes, but there is nothing to acchieve by continuing to attack him about it. He is sorry I'm sure and has done everything to re-earn everyones respect. So please, stop the fighting on the forum and leave him alone. We should be discussing the Gyro-ball and be proud that we were able to discover it, not slam him again. SO I beg all of you once again, leave Dr. Mario alone.


The bottom line is do what you can to benefit the community, then leave it at that. Theres no need to beg for credit, or toot your own horn about it, people will respect you based on your contribution in total. Respect is not given by asking for credit, its EARNED by showing over a long term that you are a trustworthy and valuable member of the community.

Maybe when you young guys grow up a bit you'll learn how the real world works. Until then, by all means, continue dealing with people how you wish, and see how much "respect" you get doing things your way. I am not trying to pick on Dr.mario or anyone else by saying this, I just want to make it clear how the real world works in regard to credit given where credit is due.

That said, I appreciate Dr.Marios and MrWelz and everyone who has helped to contribute to making the game better for us all by finding this elusive skill.

I must ask....what is the big deal about the gyroball? Why does everyone seem obsessed with it?

what it does is make the ball seem like it is going waaaay faster than it really is, in case you didn't know. any power pitcher loves it, and breaking ball pitchers are fine with it too, mixing it in with their curves and such. it is probably the hardest ability to obtain (or at least in the top 3), and if you have ever used a guy with a gyroball, you'd know why. in my life mode, my guy (81 mph) looks like he's throwing a mid to high 80s mph fastball.

My whole point is that there is no reason to start up a fight over this again and give even more work to the mods. I too was a little anoyed that he pointed out that he discovered it, but I don't think that's any reason to spark more fighting. I'm not disagreeing with you either, but I don't see the reason in arguing any longer about this. We've found the Gyroball so lets leave it at that please.

Annoyances :
1. The act of annoying or the state of being annoyed.
2. A cause of irritation or vexation; a nuisance.
Pestering: To constantly harass with petty annoyances
How does this apply to the current situation?
A certain person (in this case Rbh325)/ group of people are annoying and causing an irritation to myself and the majority of the players (by constantly bashing Mario) so often that it would be called pestering.
Thus, continue bringing up this overused point for what?




Now I ask you to please stop posting about this. This thread has nothing to do with Dr. Mario and what he said or didn't say and it should remain this way. This is about the first posted Gyroballer. If you want to discuss this, please go ahead, but if you don't, then we may be facing yet another locked thread on this.

i agree with cownip, we need to stop insulting each other and talk about the gyroball.

if you want, i can start a topic about insulting each other (just kidding :mrgreen: )
