Honestly, I have no idea why people act like such e-thugs on their own servers when looking for scrims.
Sunday, the PHXX clan had 3 to 5 members on most of the afternoon, so we decided that we were going to look for scrims to practice for the upcoming CAL match, which is on de_contra.
Ghost found us a few teams to scrim, but honestly, they were all jerks. I'm only using the term "jerk" here because I have to keep this post rated G, well, at least PG-13, so replace the word "jerk" in your minds as you wish.
All of these teams were disrespectful, hateful, and racist. Not exactly sure why, because they were probably a bunch of kids or even older guys that still lived at home, and never have actually met a real woman before. They cussed us out, they called us racist names and all these other things, and their answer were always "this is MY server and I can do what I want", and then continued, and actually worsened, their racist comments and cursing at us.
If these were kids at around 12, yeah, I can understand why they would try to act all hard like that. But like I said, these were probably a bunch of 20 some odd year olds, or even older, kids that live at home, probably overweight cause they don't move further than like 2 feet from their seats, and eats pizza every meal. And these people were being e-thugs. Ignorant e-thugs at that.
Here's the punchline - they weren't even that good.
We lost, yes, but not because of how good they were, but because of how poor we did as a team, and individually. When we get to 1 on 1 situations, we wiped the floor with them most of the time, which shows that we're not all that bad as individual players.
Another thought I had running through my mind was that, with all that cursing and racist comments, I was thinking they actually might be trying to drive away teams so they don't have to scrim? So why were they idling in the IRC channel looking for other teams to scrim? I don't get it? Mental illness? Mild retardation? What's going on?
There was one instance where we did a 3v3, and just as we started to adapt to how the other team was playing and was whooping them 2 rounds in a roll, they went "had to go, you baddies" and signed off. Talk about sore losers.
I don't know why most teams are like that, but it seems, so far, that in all the scrims that I've been in, teams are 99% of the time jerks.
The only time that a scrim isn't with jerks, is with fellow SP clans like EC, or KI, or even back in the day PWND. These are good guys, and I enjoyed scrimming with them.
Hope we find some decent clans to scrim with again soon, because scrimming is fun, but not with a bunch of jerks that try to act like they're Vin Diesel over the interweb. That is about as lame as Stephen Hawkin's legs.

When the SP ladders get up it will provide us with some fun non-asshat scrims. I totally agree with what you said though.
Like last night, Gun and I wanted to scrim this SP based clan that challenged us (forgot the name already.. my bad)... We didnt have a third on at the time, so we had [KI]Blue-X ring for us. Well.. these guys werent very good (I GOTS MYSELF 10 KNIFE KILLS :)) but we still were jerks about it. We told them they had potential and gave them some advice.. isnt that how it is supposed to be? I would like to think so...

Why did they even make a clan if they wont scrim?Maybe they just want to mess around.
