Special icon for LJ recordholders.

There is a clear distinction between world record demos and longjumping, thus an icon should be provided, without a doubt, to the longjump record holders listed on the page. Let me tell you why. On one hand you have world record demos which assess a certain set of techniques within the game, and then you have longjumping which cater to another set.

I didn't read all the posts in here but people are talking about misc techniques when if they actually took a second to scroll over the "World Records" portion of the page at the top, the drop down box has a 'Record List' and 'LJ Records' section, which further reiterates the distinction I made; WR's and LJ's. Now, the way longjump records have been setup on XJ is actually probably the smartest way possible, having the major techniques with the top jumps and players listed. Since longjumping is, or was, a popular and DISTINCT technique this page is perfect for displaying the feats of those interested in the longjumping technique.

Longjumping is a completely legitimate and maybe more important form of kz even above world record demos, I think I've posted this 100 times before on this site but longjumping is the absolute rawest form of strafes in one jump which proves how far the half-life engine can be pushed by the player. The people posting 'who cares about longjumping' or whatever else (bare in mind I haven't read through) I think should probably be warned, if not banned from the site, and potentially think about uninstalling the game because you've completely missed the point when it comes to the essence of what kz is. The real argument at hand is whether or not LJ record holders should get an icon, of course they should, they put in the same, if not more geeking than other players to achieve what they've achieved, and although this statement may be a tad ignorant, I'd argue the level of longjumping has far surpassed the potential of kz maps. An icon should be provided for each and every player on that list, whether it be the same or a distinct icon, who cares, they definitely should, and deserve, to be acknowledged.

It baffles me the discussions that players get into on these forums, you have longjump world records and you have map world records, so why, or where rather, is the problem in providing players who have achieved success in longjumping an icon just like the other world record holders?

Please, enlighten me.

Oh, so the part where I actually pointed out that I hadn't read through the posts thoroughly, you decided to quote, bold and then tell me that I hadn't read through the posts.

Did you read the rest? I've been reading through xj posts since 2004 bud, and the most generic and overused statement; 'who cares about longjumping' was just something I assumed would come up, though, thought, JUST in case I would state that I haven't properly read through everything.

Thank you, for bringing it to my attention. Next time I'll make sure I don't bring my 'almost 10 years on XJ' bias into my posts.
Genius.

Oh, you edited your post to remove yourself from the situation.

Nice.

Ah, I see, completely relevant to the topic at hand. You pointed out the one part of my post (which infact, the entire argument of whether or not longjumping should or should not be cared about is _relevant_) that was relevant to the "Special icon for LJ recordholders" how?

I'm sorry, please do enlighten me, how is pointing that out at all relevant, nay, help the situation for admins or any community member in coming to a conclusion about the debate within this topic?

Please, bare in mind, I did not read through all the posts (as I've said a few times now) but maybe try and interpret my point (the one small point out of a longer, more relevant post) from another angle, as to all the people whom over the years have shunned longjumping as of lesser importance is a point that I said should be completely dismissed.

Which is relevant. This is why I continually get banned, being baited by morons with no real idea nor point to add to any debate +1 postcoUntza!~!#

Fight you? Ban you? Ahahaha the ban wont be you, I truly assure you, I will not waste a fucking second of my life talking with an admin because of people like you, people who doesnt even respect different opinions, I don't want to ban people without a real life, I gave my arguments really before you show up ;) You are late for a discussion with me.

um, what

lazy to read the whole topic...

just give them normal recordholder icon, why would you want something special? you hold a record, are you? so you should get a recordholder icon, nothing more, nothing less...

You have absolutely no idea the time and effort I've put into attempting to address the issues within the community.

You're too new, like I said, guns away, you're clueless.
