I didn't read the rest of this page, I'll just start by responding to Cap'n's first post.
You are likely right that the d/c was after 5 minutes. I didn't really give too much thought into what time it might have been, and probably inadvertently embellished the number. I just remember thinking that it was too bad it was already past the 3 minute mark where quitting is not held against a person. Either way, it was still early game. I would say no higher than level 8. I know it wasn't nearly late enough in the game for the player to have enough items to get the 6k+ health I noticed the AI had later on.
Whether or not the term 'premade' should exist at all does not pertain to this discussion. If you want to dig through my post history you would find comments I have made indicating that I don't have anything against premades at all. However, the term does exist, and you knowingly entered into a match that explicitly promised there will be no premades. This is fundamentally dishonest and is one reason I felt moved to post this in the Hall of Shame. (You even lament about the inability to "communicate vocally" while there was a visitor in your office, which imo is 2/3 of the advantage to being a premade, the other 1/3 coming from being familiar with the play styles of your teammates in order to better work in tandem.)
I want to reiterate that I did not complain about facing a premade. I knew before the game started that Warbirdd had played a couple games with you two and did not care, because a couple games does not make a premade in my book. If the match title did not mention premades and I found out in the course of the match that you are, I would not have cared.
I am not inhibiting your freedom of speech in any way by posting a screenshot in this thread.
The fact that you are trying to defend swearing, even though I did not mention it at all in any of my posts or in game, seems to suggest you feel it could be construed as inappropriate. If that is the case, wouldn't it be better if you didn't swear so liberally? (Though I honestly have no problem with swearing.)
I feel you were eligible for the Hall of Shame for two reasons:
1) Demanding that a team which has a teammate leave the match for any reason should concede, and then reiterating that the demand should have been met after the team in question won.
2) Joining a match that specified there should be no premades in the title when you knew that most people would consider you and TowelOfDoom a premade.
I am offended that you would somehow gather from these posts that I was trying to "show off". Am I proud of the win? Yes. However, I feel that all of my posts were sufficiently neutral and humble in that regard. I posted in another thread after receiving a compliment there (the thread about 'not being a donkey' - I realized after making the post here that the situation applied perfectly to the topic in that thread) that I did not expect to receive compliments about the match. I have no relationship with any of these people that have given me compliments with the possible exception of Pavlov, with whom I have had a few short off-topic conversations with. They are most definitely not my "fanboys". I also have no control over the way people reacted to my post. I did not ask for nor did I expect compliments.
Now to read the rest of the thread and see if there is anything else to respond to.
edit: Holy wall of text! Fixed that up
