Hi all,

I would like to start this with a thank you to all the people who left comments on th last entry.

All of them were positive which i like,and most were as interested about where this is going as iam. i hope to try to keep it entertaining as possible.

THE *MORAL* ASPECT OF THIS EXERCISE

I touched on this subject slightly in my last update. Some people didnt understand what i was trying to get over..........

Is it wrong for a guy who has played halo for over a year to open a second account and start playing people of less experience?.

 Well, in my view it depends on the reasons why,some might argue that im ruining the game for some,maybe even putting people of the game for good.And to be honest it hasnt really happened where i have ran riot over the oppossing team winning a game single handedly "WIT MA SKILLZ!"

Im not doing this so i can parade about in the post game carnage section of the site saying "These guys sux, they got owned, how good am i!"

Im not doing this to ruin peoples day, im doing to test myself .And  in a round about way the people i get matched with in my team. can they work as a team?,do they communicate? do they care who wins?,do they know what colour team their on??? 

GAMERTAG : PICT

The grand unvailing! YAY

The name comes from bumper stickers you get on cars, people from England have ENG, people from Norway have NOR, us scots have 2 (cos were special!) SCO, and PICT....so thats where the names from( my avatar online leave you with no questions!)

This is where it gets stats heavythe first link is to bungie,basic games won / lost and a list of maps ect, the second is to a site called HALOader, which list KAPD,the number of times you have played gametypes and maps, and most played gamer??.

Technically this should remain empty but in the few games ive played i have bumped in to the same 2 people twice....queue spooky music...well maybe not.

Ill also list a site called statsreloaded at a later date as it has let to upload the  games.

  http://bungie.net/Stats/PlayerStats.aspx?player=PICT

Well im going to round it up now, the next entry ill list specific games that had interesting events or outcomes and...... im not afraid!, the games where my team and myself got cabbaged!,and even more to the point WHY in my opinion we got hammered.

Anyway, "im outta here like i stole sumfin!"

P.S. please leave any  comments or questions you have.

Thanks for reading

glad to see you are ahead of schedule a nine after 14 games! As for the morality of your experiment, as a beginner (in the single digits) there was many times a person in rumblepit would kick everyones ass by far. The cool thing is that MOST of them would something like "sorry, this is a new account, Im re-ranking" or something to that effect. Ive also had people pretend that theyve never played before tand that they were on a friends account, but they went right for the power weapons and knew a lot of the metagame. That kind of experience left me sour. When it comes down to it, its all about sportsmanship.

Ive played with new temporary tags quite a bit. What I tend to notice is that this is not an odd thing. Many people are using low ranked tags and owning at the games. This is evidenced by how many times I get waxed by players rated as 5 and under. I tend to mostly play unranked games, so they usually match you up randomly anyway.
