I thought the funniest part was him and the bartender freaking out of watching Wraith kill people. Pest being sure to reiterate that he had nothing to do with that and doesn't know Wraith at all.

If i were reading at home rather than work I probably would have laughed a lot harder.

This is a good example of doing a lot with little. Excited to see more.

Plus no one cares about ripping on BX3.

Stuff on savage is just ripping an rp....basically "yo promo dum"" Nothing creative or new about that. Anybody can rip on a promo without bringing anything new.

In my experience, no, not anybody can do it... at least not do it right or in an entertaining way. Being able to take a promo of your opponent's and rip it to shreds is an art, and we value that art very highly here actually.

Also! Keep this in mind... There are two types of RPers who get their work ripped up by their opponents: The type who just get upset and stop trying, and the type who scrutinize exactly HOW their opponent was able to do that, and then patch those exploits in their future work while also picking up a little natural ability to start ripping other peoples promos to shreds.

ALWAYS be the one who seeks to improve at every turn, taking any and everything an opponent throws at you and figuring out how that opponent was able to do it. Recognizing those openings is the only way to make your work a lot more bullet proof, and makes you that much better at helping the next guy learn this ability when you rip them to shreds for the first time. We all teach and learn from each other, if we allow it.
