I don't know if I am considered "old guard," but I'm no longer a new upstart. I wouldn't say rattled, rather that he is someone who grates on you in a very major way, despite a distinguished lack of real in game accomplishments. I know I've grated on some of the old guard and some of them have grated on me at times, but I think at the core level there is a genuine respect for some of the things both they and I have done in game. This guy talks as if he is above the old guard and has not shown anything to justify being at their level, much less above them. I can pick one map and setting and get my score quite high that way...doesn't mean I am the best.
I'm sad to tell you that our best CC player seems to have left...
For future generations, we can remember and peddle his parables.
this is his last game : https://www.conquerclub.com/game.php?game=17830986
I can't believe the CC community missed out on the 2 year anniversary (11-12) of HapoelAkko's last turn taken on this game. He was a unique gem that gave us some of the best comedy in the history of CC. We should be in mourning right now. I'd (almost) pay for a month of premium for him just to get him back here...
he gave us gems like:
2017-08-28 12:45:58 - HapoelAkko: I don't know everyone here to know if I am the best, but I am certainly top 10. I did beat top 10 players in their own map and settings, when it was my very first game on their map and settings ...
2017-08-28 12:46:25 - HapoelAkko: Actually top 2 even ...
2017-08-28 12:47:58 - HapoelAkko: Dude ... you are counting from the period I was LEARNING this map/settings ....
2017-08-28 12:48:12 - HapoelAkko: I am actually winning 100% of the 40 games I am right now ...
2017-08-28 12:47:11 - rockfist: If we took a poll on this site you would get one vote for being top ten.
2017-08-28 12:49:45 - HapoelAkko: Well ... you can go talk to the top TWO players on this site ... which I got to play ... and they will vote in your poll ...
2017-08-28 12:50:34 - rockfist: Pray tell, who are the top two players on the site?
or:
2017-08-28 21:27:35 - HapoelAkko: You are both blocked so I can't read the nonsense you are writing, but I will say something for the record ... I may still win this game, but I made a very basic mistake earlier, for a few reasons. The main one was because the sun was in my eyes so I didn
2017-08-28 21:28:22 - HapoelAkko: so I didn't see the board properly and I rushed to leave the place I was in, that was a dumb mistake, I just have just played when I got home
