Rumors that I have quit:
- Soul Calibur
- Xianghua, ever
- Tulsa other than Mj's crew
- gaming
Are all over-exaggerated.
I love SC, and enjoy it alot. However, much like in High School when I didn't hang out with kids that did nothing other than prank and harass myself or others, I don't hang out with Mj and the "Tulsa Soul Calibur players" that he marshals. Mj is a great and interesting guy for the most part, probably able to do anything he wants. And other than some real kiddy level pranking, etc - they are all good guys.
...however. Mj and Jesus are friends with several guys that decided 10 years ago that I was well worth their hate, and have evidently held to that ever since. Because that influence is still present on said players, I am not interested in spending personal time and efforts around them. I don't need the high school drama. back-biting and rumor mongering. It seems 10 years and all my best efforts can't wipe away whatever they see me as still, so I'll forgo spending time with those that see through decade old perspectives. ♥♥♥♥♥, I've started to feel like I could cure cancer and still be mocked and treated poorly by these people; they've had a 7+ year reprieve from my policy on being around that sort of thing; I've got better people I can spend my time around. I made this decision to "Drop hanging around the Mj / Tulsa SC community" right before regionals; something that had an unexpected byproduct of throwing my game into the gutter at a crucial time; but oh well, winning all the regionals in the world isn’t worth being mistreated. Even traveling to see old friends isn’t worth being hated at home, and then randomly abroad by people I don’t even know.
Since then they decided to stop showing up to my house for game night, so anyone that's asked about "game night" - I've sent to Mj, because he's got the most players. However, SSBB still seems to be holding out hope for playing over here lol, so they still show up and game in the garage on Thursdays at random - ask Outkast, as I don't know when they'll show up for sure lol.
As for myself, I play SC online, as well, that's what I've been left with.
