It's more of the matter that above all else, we're all human. When I was in KoG, I called a few guys some choice words (out of defense, mind you), and I heard other general's and captains cursing too. My point: Everyone, regardless of division, curses at some point or another. The important thing is that it doesn't happen between members in XG.
If we were that bad, it wouldn't be a division of XG. Mind you, we're still in the same honor code for the most part. The only separating issue is that we
can talk smack...however, very few do actually exercise this right.
And I know everyone has their opinion, but this isn't the first time someone in another division has the wrong idea of us. I've seen quite a few posts/threads in the past few months where people just kinda get us figured all wrong.
I just wanted to try and set one of these such threads straight.
And:
How many other SYN members can say that lol
Well, given the fact we have some 600 active people or so, I'd be willing to say that probably only 40 or so would consider themselves trash talkers. And none that I've ever played with were those types that go into a match and start trash talking first for no apparent reason.
Edit: I can't say for KoG...but for SYN, I try to keep the division very laid back. People do their own thing so long as it doesn't go against regulation (they can call their squad whatever, hold meetings whenever, so long as they do their responsibilities). I think it can best be summed up by: They know what they need to do, they can get whatever that is done however they choose to. Maybe I'm impartial, but I think of myself as a laidback leader and SYN as a laidback, friendly division. Maybe that would help to point out the big difference. KoG is structure; SYN is more like college where as long as you get your work done, you're free to game whenever. I wanted it to be like this way and for the past two years I've been pushing for SYN to feel more like this. Relaxed, no stress...SYN.
