Nibbit nibbit? You're kind of unusual. I know almost nothing about your personal life and general outlook on life. You're just extremely chill and kind of humorous. I like that you don't take things too seriously, and even though I wish our banter had more depth sometimes I still feel it's enjoyable because you never have any malice in you. You're just a chill dude looking for other chill dudes to chill with and discuss the weather or Dota or K-pop. I like that.

You're pretty good as a player when you want to be, too.

brutal honesty and i appreciate it empire, a lot of what you said was true in the past but i feel i've moved on from that point in my life

i kept thinking about a proper way to end this comment so ill just leave it here.


I figured my opinion was pretty outdated. Sorry I couldn't give a better one.

My opinion on you is very mixed. A lot of it is probably outdated-I haven't really talked to you since 2012. You have generally been extremely accepting of and nice to me over the years and I have appreciated it. That said, I feel that at times you could be pretty "low" as a person in that you would go on to personally attack a lot of people in the past. You were very biased and would generally side with your friends over what was blatantly right a lot of the time, which would mean you probably cared about your friends a lot but at the same time it sometimes seemed like you would cycle them through. You were kind of enigmatic in that way. You were definitely a rager, and a lot of the times I feel there was malice behind it, but you also had some friends you were close to and would go out of your way to be nice to them.

As a player you were pretty good despite your frequent rages. You helped carry me to Gold. I was really grateful for that and you were a joy to play with back then.

Like I said, a very mixed and outdated opinion. Sorry friend.

cory here pls


You were pretty funny on Cory. That's all I know about you. I don't know anything about you as a person so I'm not going to try to pretend I do.

I never played mafia with you either so I don't know how you were.

People expect me to comment on the round so I will-it was 100% my fault because even though I knew you were probably cheating I had it in my head that we needed more "conclusive" evidence that simply isn't possible many times on EM. That was mistake out of naivete. I don't hold anything against you though. Many cheaters are good players, and many are bad. It doesn't say anything about your skill level. And anyone that uses EM cheating to judge your quality as a person is just a loser.

opinion me chesskid


First let me preface this by saying I know hardly anything about you. I think you are a good person, however, who like many I've listed care about their friends. That said, I think you are often a doormat. That is generally the one word I use to describe you. This may or may not be a bit outdated, but in the past it was very easy to push you around, as shown when you were the whipping boy of the forums for quite awhile. Even when you wanted to break that you just kind of got forced into submission out of lack of confidence. For a long time you were very insecure and too concerned with other people's opinions of you, particularly those of the "cool" crowd. I do not know if that has changed or not. I feel you are very nice but often I feel it was out of a desire to be liked or your own low selfesteem. I think you're fine as a person, and again you might have changed since I've known you, but I have always seen you just kind of get run over by other people simply because you wouldn't stand up for yourself and when you wouldn't you just didn't have the confidence to keep it. I don't really know any of your other traits.

In mafia you're OK. You were pretty good as either alignment but people like Connor/me/Crypto could always just force you into doing what we wanted in the past. Hopefully you fixed that.

Oh geez. I have nothing negative to say about you whatsoever. You are easily one of the site's most mature users and have a great perspective. You're extremely patient and diplomatic, similar to Steven but perhaps with a bit more charm. You have a good understanding of the good and bad parts of the community and don't fall prey to contributing to the bad. When you want to be you are quickwitted with a good sense of humor and even though you try to be a great admin you don't take it TOO seriously, which is part of what makes you one. You are clearly someone who has a much better idea of what's important than the vast majority of other users. I don't know your personal situation but I do know that while others may be lost on the way to maturity and happiness you've at least got the mature, developed outlook down. You're just very friendly and diplomatic, you may not always be 100% genuine but when you're not you have good intentions behind it, ie. it's how you know you SHOULD react even if you know you don't want to and I think that's a big mark of maturity.

As a player you're a joy to play with as well. You actually care about having high quality games and it shows in your play which breaks from the typical "Random FOS on gut" that is common among the masses, even among other highly skilled players, which makes the game much more serious and enjoyable. I personally am not the biggest fan of the casual mafia headed by Shacky, Denis, Slow, and even myself so it is always refreshing to play a game with you.


That was a good read, I think you're pretty spot on with that last bit in your first paragraph too.

We'll play a game again soon, I'd love to run sometime. Thanks Emp.

As a mafia player you're decent but I don't exactly play seriously with you most of the time so I dunno.

As a person I do not know you nearly well enough. I feel at times you contribute to the toxicity by getting into a lot of arguments, some of which you may or may not be right on but I haven't checked. You're heavily opinionated which isn't necessarily a bad thing but I think you need to be more restrained-just because someone is wrong doesn't mean you have to fight with them about it, and if someone is obviously baiting you you don't have to respond. Again though, that's just my opinion. I've heard a mix of things about you, but you've never done anything to me so I have no problems with you. I'm sorry I can't really give you a better opinion but that's all I really know.

This is all I have to say about Betrayal. Every post they make is an attempt at being ironically bad. Instead they're just bad.

I almost didn't want to post this just because it means giving Betrayal attention.

The only thing I remember was when you were getting kicked from the 24 man games on your alts and taunting Shacky about it and being extremely obnoxious so I had a very bad first impression of you. I am sure that if I had had other interactions with you it might be different, but that first impression was my only impression so far. Sorry.


I dont even remember that. I dont think I've ever spoken to Shacky actually. lol well, sorry!! thats not really how I am, but yeah. :)
