So some of you may have seen this before when I was going for sub 20 at first with Petrus, in a similiar whiney-ish thread that I made on that, where I got a 20.00 avg of 12....Well the petrus gods are back for revenge yet again....this time with sub 17. All the comments were things I actually typed in the comments on cct lol.

I seem to get nervous when I have an amazing average, which you can see was as low as 16.33 at solve 5, then I just got increasingly shaky, got a pop dnf, and my average went up .8 or so. This is the 5th time or so I've had sub 17 within grasp, and then lose it too over excitement. Anyone have similar experiences?
 
that's horrible logic. Seeing that there was a new thread, I instinctively clicked on it. Two seconds later, I realized the absolute needlessless of it, and felt that I had to express your opinion.
This post, however, and the time that was taken to compose it WAS my fault.
 
dude...ever heard of the accomplishment thread?
You just absolutely wasted 30 seconds of my time.

This isn't a so called accomplishment as he did not achieve what he was going for. He was simply stating something that he noticed in his cubing (first part of an average is going well and over-excitement takes over and ruins the rest of the average) and wondered if anyone else had the same experience.

Your reply was uncalled for IMO.
 
If you want to have the mindset that anyone can post a new thread at any time, about any pointless topic, then go ahead, but I'd really appreciate it if you kept the fact that many visitors of this forum site would view this as unnecesarry.

Perhaps I should have sent you to the one-question answer thread?
 
Lol. It's amazing how much I perturbed you with a single post. Bet you wouldn't say anything if this was some post by nakaji saying that he's having issues at getting sub whatever. Also I admit, I am the spawn of satan for my apostrophe mistake. That being said chill the **** out my god.

Oh another thing. I've been here nearly as long as you have and I'm not bringing into question my topic appropriateness judging skills. Allow me to post the description of this sub forum. General discussion about speedsolving the Rubik's Cube and other twisty puzzles. Discuss new algorithms, methods, share your records, keep each other updated with the latest speedcubing news. This is not the place for beginner's questions.

You're just being an over reactive elitist prick.

Edit: Don't bother continuing this fight people just from looking at the first page. It's over, we made a truce.

Well back on topic, I find that when I am doing okay and then get like 3 sub 45s right after i can't even get under a minute, its depressing.
 
Wow not even under a minute? What if we like didn't look at our times during the average. For me if I see 5 sub 17 solves I automatically know I'm in a really good average, so maybe just being ignorant is the only solution? Or perhaps tricking yourself into not caring?

"Lol. It's amazing how much I perturbed you with a single post."
-I wasn't overly pissed off. I was purely informing you that your post was unnecessary, and there was really no reason for making it.

"Bet you wouldn't say anything if this was some post by nakaji saying that he's having issues at getting sub whatever."
-actually, I would. It's really a matter of how good of a cuber you are; it's more or less how you post, which is what I commented on. Notice, that in the first post, your actual times are never mentioned, nor is your method.

"Also I admit, I am the spawn of satan for my apostrophe mistake."
-This really didn't bug me much. Everyone has typos.

"That being said chill the **** out my god"
translates into "That being said, chill the **** out. My God!"
-I'm pretty chill, dawg-ee-fresh.

"I've been here nearly as long as you have and I'm not bringing into question my topic appropriateness judging skills...'share your records' "
-while I give you kudos for this find, I do keep strong to the fact that there are already places to show one's records in a slightly more organized fashion. Maybe I just have some sort of forumOrganizationOCD-itis, but I really don't know what to do about it if I do have it...

"You're just being an over reactive elitist prick."
-hmm...I'm not quite sure how to respond to this without sounding like an "over reactive elitist prick," but I'll do my best.
I don't hate you, the Petrus God's, or anything like that. All that I simply said in my first post was that I'd really appreciate it if you'd put this in another thread, as to help my forumOrganizationOCD-itis, but I do agree that I said it quite bluntly, and that it did come off a bit harshly.

All in all, my original post was more of a pointing out to you, saying that this thread was really unnecessarry, and that I, and I believe other members, would greatly appreciate it if you didn't create new threads whose(word choice == fail?) could easily be placed under another.

With the best of luck in all of your cubing,
Stachu Korick


anyway, I'm pretty sure that I've felt what I suppose you're feeling towards me before. Towards Stefan. Until recently, I'd seen Stefan's posts as really rude, but only recently had I started to see how his posts can help other members.
I really hope that you don't have any negative attitude towards me from now on, but I'm pretty sure that I've ruined that by now. *sighs*

Dude, it's not like i made a thread like WUT TIMES U ALL GETZ?!?! I think others will agree you're just doing the typical internet rage with your little overdone dissection of everything with some retarded little comment after every section.

I don't see a problem with that. It's just responding to everything, and making it clear as to what your response is to a particular statement. Not that I'm taking sides on the general issue.

*shrugs* *sighs yet again*

I know that you previously told me to "calm the **** down," but I do believe that you should do the same. Please take note that this is NOT me trying to be a jerk, or to simply retort, but that maybe you're day's been long, as mine has, and we both need to take a chill pill.

"I'm pretty chill, dawg-ee-fresh."
-This was purely my attempt at being humorous, something that I know little of, and usually fail at, both verbally and written
 
"I'm pretty chill, dawg-ee-fresh."

wtf? It's not like he made a whole post solely about that.
You both need to calm down...
It's not that big a deal. Granted, if some noob made a thread like this, there would probably be more people with a problem. But again, it's not a big deal, and I don't think it warranted the response that Stachuk had.

Oh no. Please don't turn this into a post-count rave..

As I said before, I regret stating my "initial argument(?)" so bluntly/harshly, but it still expresses many of the point that I wished to express.
