don't take me wrong guys, but i think AOU ARE THE ONES that don't know a #### about VETS !

lots of us have been doing things, it took me about a year of full postings and things like that to be actually recognize as a GOOD person and not a new comer. i too suffered from that kind of disrespect. but YOU are thiking about this the wrong way. for lots of us, being a vet is simply to be told that we were here for a vey long time (which is the real way to decide a vet)

but no,m people have been telling things like this...

##### = person that disgrace anything
VETS = Person that is good in what it does !

and that definition stayed !
FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFETIME USE THAT STUPID DICTIONNARY TO KNOW YOUR TERMS !

this was intended to ALL that said a veteran is someone good, because a veteran is really not that. and yes we still talk about the people that aren't here anymore. but even in real life, we still says VETERAN of the GOLF WARS to those soldier who died in battles !

with that kind of thought i am no more wondering with the IQ of this whole community !
you think being called a vet is like the rank system !
then your not clearly seeing the big deals and you deserves not being called a vet !
but that's a thing that will never happen, because a veteran by definition is someone who has been there for a very long time !
the only thing that you can say to this, is the time it takes to become a vet, it is 5 months for certain, 1 year for others...
BUT NEVER SAY THT VETS IS NOTHING MORE THEN A RANK !
by saying so, you disrespect all those that worked hard top bust their asses in here ! just like myself !

i know lotsa of people around here, people that i have nothing to do with. and for what i mentionned them, that is because they aren't doing anything in here ! i am not the only one who has been like this.

you want me to to recognize you as a person, fine then POST for hell sakes !
the only thing that made me recognized is the way i post, the way i am, not what i have done !

i don't know you virus, yet still i know you have been here for quite a while. but you never posted in here ! that's just normal that no one know you here !

The way you guys are posting, I'm a vet as well. I joined the game in Sept. 2001. Its not my fault that I didn't know about forums til' much later (more like March 2002). I actually started coming to this one in April 2002, so I've been here longer than most think.

And about this official definition of "vet", that is a totally different thing. In my opinion, wait...I've posted my definition of a "vet" before...but where...where did I post it?

hooray, i'm a vet, lol

I dont really think that its fair to have a vet party..
invite ####ies too...who gives a damn about old playas...

they dont even play anymore...
well except for me tark and some othas..

anyway ,..if ya wanna have a party then invite everyone or screw this crap..
:buttrock:

and besides other people has feelings too.....

man ..ur a grown up so try to understand and make this a Xmvssf Partylol

Post edit...

Well, you might have a point...but...there's a reason he wants a "vet" party...but ask him. I still remember my denial of being in the vet tourney, because they didn't see me in there a lot, but if some of you guys hosted it, and I told you how long I've been with the game, you would've let me be in it. Different people have different definitions about certain things like this.

exactly my point*yawns*

no really have a vet party. it wasn't a bad idea. the guy wanted to live like he did in the old days.

But you cannot compare a vet here at the xmvsf community to a veteran of war. A veteran of war is someone who had fought for his country in a time of need. A veteran here in a GAME is nothing of the sort. It is someone who contributed or did somthing big for this community. It is someone who most people respect.

It doesn't necesarrily (help me...) have to be anything "big"...it could be many small things, or just getting known by a lot of forum members. There are many definitions of this term. Just go and pick one...

and following your definition, the first NEW COMERS that DONATE 200$ to TMY would become instantly a vet !

no, like i said, a veteran by definition is someone who has been there for a very long time. that's the only definition that counts anything else is just based on EMOTIONS of the very person which is never a good definition !

each person have his definition and that makes conflict, by takeing the def of the dictionnary then we are sure not to have the wrong one !
