To all members of the LCM, this is a fair warning. A member of your group, BREAKDANCEPENCAP just tried to eat shit a Crossbow I had been bidding for on Ebay. Now, it's one thing if he simply out bid me, but he tried to do so within the last 12 hours of auction and I can see by his bid history that he was dicking around with his bids. I am going to trounce this kid and fucking break his hand when I find him. Fair warning.

Out.

p.s. this is what happens when you don't check yo'self

[VACC]

Yeah dude, you totally should not find a stranger in the alps.

[Mantis]

You best step off my crossbow. That name is mine.

And besides, dont you guys have enough crossbows lying around?

[Famine]

Ooooh, you're coverin for somebody Mantis. And I best step off yours? Mine was the first and will be the last bid on it. And what does quantity have to do with it? We've had to fix every broken Crossbow you're clan's gotten anyways. We even gave you one of our Crossbow shells so don't lecture me on greed. This is going to get interesting.

Are you fucking kidding me? I fucking GAVE you people a crossbow shell!

And besides, this is yours?!?! You didn't even know about the fucker till someone alerted you to it on NHQ, at which time famine already was the high bidder. Look we have jobs, you will lose, all you're doing is pissing us off with that kind of attitude.

Seriously, quit being a douche. Oh, and threatening one of us with violence on NHQ? Do you remember us at all? Your mother won't be able to identify you if you try anything.

VACC

[Mantis]

Chill out Vacc, I never threatened one of you with violence. Besides, ebay is fair game for anyone, I would have found the auction eventually, and if you guys have enough crossbows to be giving out the shells, why do you need a new one?
And on another note, Famine's been fucking around all week, dont take it too seriously.

[Groove]

[Mantis]

Alright, I think its time to settle down. I just checked the auction and it looks like you're ready to play hard ball. Dont bullshit here, but are you gonna go over $35? Cuz if you are, seriously, I'll just quit here.

[Evil]

Would the vets hear actually read what they are saying? You guys are making Jerry Springer damn near look dignified. Please, just stop it. If this kind'a stuff keeps up it's going to make Nerf Haven look more like a three year old's playpen than an actual gathering of mature and intelligent Nerfers. On NO I remember a bunch of veterans who promoted being "cool", oh how things have changed. I'll be quiet now.

It's even hard for me to tell just how serious you guys are sometimes, and I'm the LCM member that knows you better than the rest. Ash alone is like a big brother of sorts, and Vacc, well he's kind of like a father figure. Death would be my mom, and if I had to choose a sister, Famine would be the only one for me.

[Miller Charlie Company]

I just have to say one thing. That you didn't give the LCM a shell you gave the shell to Evil Angel. Which by all means you can have back. Just get the daemon from Evil Angel, because that is where the shell is.

Correction Famine, you have fix two crossbows that we gave you. The third had nothing done to it. My brother and myself have fixed, Pencaps, Evil Twin, mine, and Shindigs for some modifications.

MCC OUT

[VACC]

Well you certainly have us there.

So let me get this straight, your argument is that you only suck a little? We only fixed two of your guns, only one of you owes us? These are not arguments created to win a debate, but to break even. Are you trying to beligerently agree with us? Seriously dude, just cut your losses shut up.

VACC

[Famine]

Alright, I think its time to settle down. I just checked the auction and it looks like you're ready to play hard ball. Dont bullshit here, but are you gonna go over $35? Cuz if you are, seriously, I'll just quit here.

Oh, so instead of realizing that I was serious about this Crossbow in the first place you and your friend had to dick around with your bids just to up the auction? And what's this "if we have enough to give out then we don't need another" bull shit?

As of right now Death, Ash, and myself each have 1 crossbow apiece, Vacc's the only one with 2 and both are in a state of modification. It's because we're not dicks that Vacc gave Evil the spare shell we have but right now my X-bow is gettin worn and with our upcoming switch to micros and my inability to find an EAB I was forced to locate another Xbow to use as a primary. Check all the major messageboards; NHQ, NC, even here, I tried to find an EAB first and when that failed I bid on the only Crossbow I could find.

And yes, Ebay is a fair place but when 2 LCM members start trying to eat shit the auction with less than 12 hours to go I'm gonna get defensive. And because we've been more than willing to assist the LCM in their repairs and that we've assisted some of their members in the past one would think that they might not begrudge me a replacement primary, after the initial bid by Pencap (which I did over react to and apologize for,) when I found out that he was an LCM I got a little pissed, maybe I was hurt, who knows but in Nerf auctions I take the time to find out who the other bidders and seller is, btw it's Sharpknux's xbow for those who remember him. So yes, I state that I was bidding on it and would out bid anyone who tried to win it. And what is the LCM reaction? Mantis tries to get into a pissing contest with me which he knows he can't back up. Why? You had no intention of laying any real money down on this gun, you're just trying to piss me off. So now I have to stay up and constantly recheck the auction when I should be downstairs with my girlfriend because I'm paranoid that some little pissant from your clan is gonna try and take a cheap shot at me in the last minute of the auction. That's why I'm acting like an outraged child.

And yes, sometimes I am serious about you guys, you have a solid core group of Nerfers but then you always end up breaking down to internal bickering on public boards and you all end up looking like faggots, I'm sorry but you do, and you're supposed to represent the best the East Coast has to offer. Act like it, us Horsemen are an old group who can get away with childish antics because I think we've paid our dues to the community and with the exception of Vacc, none of us really intend to help shape the future of Nerf that much. You guys will, so pull it together and stop fighting about who wrote a better War Report, or reprimanding a team mate for "hurting your morale".... christ. And if you're gonna fuckin quit now Mantis then withdraw your damn bid or shut up and dig deep if the crossbow means that much to you, because it does to me.

Out.

[Evil]

Vacc gave me the shell, being that he's cool like that. Thanks. And yea, losing on eBay isn't what I'd refer to as respectable by any means, but that's the problem with online auctions everywhere. And of the CrossBows the LCM has had, the first two were the only ones that you (Famine and Ash) modded for us. And as I recall, that took something like six months and the results we got from them afterwards weren't worth bragging about. The rest were all modded within the clan. I think we've had five CrossBows all together, so really you haven't had to "fix all of them" for us.

[Mantis]

I think I need to explain myself a bit here. First off, I had no idea the bidder on the gun was you at the time Famine. And when I did find out it was you, at the time, I figured you just wanted another gun, so I didnt think you wanted to go too high. And 12 hours from the end isnt really losing, 12 minutes before the end could be considered losing. Besides, I told you I wasn't going to go any higher (mainly because I realized you were gonna be all pissy about it and weren't gonna quit), so I'm not gonna stay up till midnight to eat shit it from you.

Anywho, I modded up some of my other guns in the past week, so I dont need my EaB anymore. I actually have two in working order, at least I think I do. If you want one, bring a bit o' cash to reckoning and you can get one.

[Howard]

i wouldn't tust any of the whore semen with my guns, after i saw what a craptacular job was done to pencaps x-bow... hmmm, maybe thas why he was fucking around...

and who cares... can you all honestly say that you havent made bids that you weren't intending on actually buying... i do it all the time.

and another thing... you had better make good micros, because the majority of the LCM's micros suck, along with megas, but i'd have to say that about horseman megas as well.

You all had a chance to inspect our weapons before trusting us to repair yours, we did the same thing to your plunger that we did to ours and since you were dissatisfied with our workmanship I'm glad to hear that you've begun to repair your own snapped plungers as all Nerfers should be able to do their own mods. Also I'd like to see exactly how well your Crossbows with repaired plungers work compared to ours Howard. I'm serious, I hadn't looked at your repair jobs that closely so if you're using a different method than us to repair your severed plungers I'd like to take a look at it, so make sure you bring them on Sunday and whatever ammo you use for them.

As for making false bids that is just plain obnoxious and immature, basically the only point to it is to either artificially inflate the value of the item (and if you do this with your or your friends' auctions I have no respect for you), or to piss off the buyers. So either way you're a dick if you do it and apparently you do place false bids on a regular basis as you've admitted.

As to our dart quality, I've always taken specific pride in the manufacturing of my darts and though I have offered several tips to your dartsmiths several times it's your own fault for your lack of quality. With the exception of our Armaggeddon '02 batch (which we had bad foam for) all of our other darts have always been of high quality, fired straight, and had minimal spin outs.

And Mantis.... if I'm posting a message complaining that a member of your group is trying to outbid me on an auction, and Mandrigor is THE ONLY OTHER BIDDER on that same Crossbow besides your friend, how could you not realise that the bidder was me? Honestly? Did you think I was trying to call dibs on it or something?

Well, it's all over now, the auction has ended, we have mods to do, and MCC has been gracious enough to offer us the return of Daemon's shell even though it is no longer neccessary. If the EAB's are in good condition and mod'able I'll bring plenty of cash and what guns I have to trade for it because I really would like to see how it performs when brassed and I like the size of the gun.

[VACC]

Are we all friends now? Oh Goody!!

VACC

[Warlock]

Alright guys, here's the thing... the LCM has to realize, that the Horsemen are these four guys who we nerf with from time to time.

Evil, when you complained that it took six months to get the crossbows back, don't you think that they have lives other than catering to other people's modification needs?? Do they not go to school and work, do they not have people they have to see like family and girlfriends?? We rarely nerf with these dudes anyway, so why expect quick results?

Also, Howard, who are you to say that anyone's micros and megas suck? You of all people should know how long it takes to make them, so I don't think quality should matter as much as the fact that you made them.

MCC... you shouldn't have even opened your mouth because giving back a crossbow shell that isn't yours... well, it just doesn't make sense.

As you can see, I have just gone against what my clan members have said because I side on the Horsemen with this one. They are right about this, and level headed (for the most part... more than the LCM members that posted here). Things got out of hand, people over-reacted in the beginning (eg. Famine and Mantis), but this whole quarrel between fellow nerfers could have easily been avoided. So please, I know this is only my second post here but that's because I have seen such things happening... The Horsemen are a group of cool guys, as are the LCM... now if all of us would act that way, this would have never happened.

[Evil]

Okay, well now that this is over, I'll get the last of this off of my chest. Yea, MCC shouldn't have offered to have the Daemon's shell returned, because it wasn't his and if Vacc didn't want to give it to me he shouldn't have. He's cool, and he did. Oh well, who cares? I managed, with MCC's help, to make it badass. No biggie.

Six months is a long time even if I rarely see these guys. You can't argue that Warlock. It's not as long as PenCap had to wait but still. Again, who cares? I turned my X-Bow into Cain, so everything has come full circle and I'm happy with what I have now. So what, end of story.

Howard can't say the LCM's megas suck. He should speak for himself. The Horsemen's are the best, but Warlock and my megas work perfectly for our guns. Of course, Howard would know about how good my darts are out of his gun because he stole most of them a couple weeks back (dick). If they don't work well for you, so be it. They suck for you. They kick ass for us.

I don't know what else to say but, it's over now. Who cares? Everything worked out.

[Howard]

as i was too lazy to read all of those long posts, asumingly full of senseless garbage, ill just think that you have all decided to openly accept me as your supreme overlord... first order of buisness, hamsterdance shall be re opened!!!


and maybe i will make my own darts evil, then kill you with them, and then go poo.

[Mantis]

Alright, Famine was right when he said we shouldnt bitch at each other. So lets not.
The EaB is moddable, I used it in a few wars not too long ago, it just doesnt suit me anymore. So bring whatever you figure is a fair price or trade for it.

And people wonder why we don't hold the LCM in the highest regards. Although with such inciteful comments and valuable knowledge I can see how Howard would be a respected member of NHQ. Luckily for Howard, once the Karma system is in place he won't be troubled with having to read the "senseless garbage" of us underlings....... just to be sure I want everyone to know that this post was written with extreme sarcasm.

EXTREME sarcasm.... note the emphasis on extreme that time.

Out.

[Howard]

...where exactly is the sarcasm located in your post, i just can't seem to put my finger on it... go figure.

Mantis, I'll take the EAB for twenty dollars.
