242 KiwiColdbeer Members 665 posts 5,459 battles Report post #1 Posted July 2, 2017 Just a heads up, not that most here will see him. My 10yr old son has decided to try Ranked. He is only at 21, so most of you will not see him. I tried to talk him out of it, but he is determined to try and emulate Dad(he is on the Autisim Spectrum, so once an ideas in there........well you get the picture). As such he is running a near stock New Mex(again tried to talk him out of it, but could only set him up as best I could), or possibly a Nurnburg. I know it's the interwebs and all, but if you happen to come across him, I would appreciate some tolerance in regard to his abilities(he actually not to bad, given his age....has a Kraken under his belt already). He enjoys the game, and would hate for him to lose that. Will be running under the handle coldbeer72 Thanks in advance Kiwi 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably won't see him but if we cross paths he will treated as a worthy adversary. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had a good one the other night when we were both running Konigs...... I got slaughtered and only did 16K damage.....he held it together and did 66K........showed the old man up BIG time...... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
69 [NOG] Weezil Members 141 posts 9,761 battles Report post #5 Posted July 2, 2017 Well, if I run across this young man I will cheer him along, wether he is good, bad, or average (I have been all three on any given day). I hope he enjoys the game and sticks with it. My only fear for him though is that this game is populated by sharks that think nothing of, no, actually enjoy, belittling others. You have my word, if I'm in a game with him and I see any crap delivered his way, I will unleash a broadside on the offender, I would consider it a privilege to go pink in that situation. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1,081 [RICO5] CaptGodzillaPig Members 3,273 posts 7,504 battles Report post #17 Posted July 4, 2017 I'll keep a look out for him. My 12 year old has been dipping his toes into ranked every now and then. Gotta get out of co-op at some point and start in the real world.. T6 rank is as good as anything. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
