Then note to Big Balls, I was waiting for you to chime in and mention something like that..
Well no your not absolutely correct on that.
I really have only been completely competitive since around the turn of this century, now granted I've been on the table since the 70s, played a few tournaments around the country here and there and wasn't rated, but did nothing in the game at that time, but did study and drew diagrams on the table starting 1978 on a brown top Tournament Soccer table..
The first time I played on Tornado was 1980, then did the same thing on that table doing diagrams on the table field..and so started my writings of the game at that time..so for 20 years I was a hidden factor, secretly developing a game while everyone else was going on tour..then played Tom Spears tournaments in Littleton and he rated me as an expert, and because of a bad ranking system that's been broken forever, is why I've been sandbagging the expert class since I developed a Master game at the time of Americans points race in 2014, where I dominated 96% of the state, this is when my table skills became at a Master level.
Then around the turn of the Century I came out of the woodwork, and a short time later I was named Jedi.
And I have been reeking damage for the last 18 year since, adding yet another points race win this year.
So yeah I'm not going up in rank, I don't fucking care, it has NOTHING TO DO WITH MY WINNING CALIBER!
And so, if players want to believe that I'm only an expert, then that's their opinion, but believing that sure makes the player base somewhat weak, because once again I say this...Then an expert is whipping Colorado's ass for the last 18 years.. after all, I'm not called The Ruler of the North for nothing, or because I'm a king of an army.
And I'm doing the same thing in the Metro since 2010, the samething that I did in the North when it was alive and on fire...

The comparison of wood shop to tournament tables is spot on. It's a service. And if you're not compensating for that service, it's a theft of service. Unless gifted. I'm sorry you can't see the correlation on the business side of things. Maybe I'm silly to think you could follow the thought.
You're completely nuckin futs man. "I'm a pro, fuck the system, hey kids I'll train you and get you to rise up in the system rankings." You act like you don't care about the rankings, but it's clear it's salt in your open wound. You're an expert, through and through. If you're a king of any army I feel sorry for the casualties you'll have to report for.
That's crazy that you first touched a table over 40 years ago. So like ... you're an expert. That means it took you an average of how many years to move up each rank? Like, a decade? No ... More?!?!? And you try to give Nick shit for his 9 years movement. You're a fucking dick man. Just trying to stir a fucking pot because no one in the real world actually wants to spend time with you once they see how you treat people.
