By attacking ego, and "working with vinegar, not sugar" I've found much better results, such as this. Why? I guess Oklahoma kids are all whine and lazy, and very few will react to anything other than an ego punch?
I see your point. I was a little surprised at how mean you were being since I know you in real life, but I can't argue with results.
Really - I almost have felt bad for him for a while now. Talk about bad luck, ya know? Other than the SC site it's self, your not going to RUN INTO a site that really just happens to have the attention of some of the good players at all, more aless get a situation where they are able to travel to play, and prove it all out. I guess being in the midwest, and being central to several of the top players like Hates and Link, we've simply had the good location that usually only a California or Chicago address would afford. Good times for us, but in the end, sorta rotten luck for anyone to start out with, ya know?
On the other hand, it could be really good luck since he seemed open to improving. If he showed up and rolled over everyone, he would have thought he was really that good and would have no drive to improve. I give him huge props for showing up and sticking things out.
