....Hetero and myself did beat you in a random team...like 2 days ago I guess you just forgot about that.
CHRIS of KNIGHTMARE - Lockdown Videos
@truhelix
meh... honestly I'm not a fan of bombhead masks (except for maybe a curse one i saw) so I wouldn't really mind. tbh i would rather have more tokens come out so i can get my bolt and voltedge recipes :P
@Abita Ok, we could have a discussion of what to consider private but If you have something against anyone, there is a report form instead of this.
You are just taking the wrong way to handle the situation.
@Juances
I filed a complaint right after it happened in game. Waited a couple days and no one ever got back to me about it. I then posted a topic in this forum. It got deleted and i was given a warning and that the correct proccess was to use the in game complaint system which i had. Then i made another topic which also got deleted and was given a more strict warning. Then i necro an old thread where Chris was the center piece and post the pic there. My character was then banned from the forums and given a warning my character could be banned from the game.
Then i jumped on a diffrent account and posted just the pic with a simple title. That got deleted and that character was also banned from the forum. I then made Abitatwo and posted the pic in this thread where the pic link was deleted and my character was banned from the forum. Abitathree reposted the pic here and for some reason I am still going strong and the picture is still up.
i have done everything in my power to have the situation resolved. If OOO really doesnt care about people getting screwed out of gear then I really have no mroe respect for them. And i really am sorry you have to keep seeing the same thing from me over and over and over but I am going to continue to do it. I am not playing the game anymore until there is new content. I have spent $40 on this game because I liked it so much for such a long time. If they ever want to see any more money from me they will at least contact me and say sorry they havent gotten around to my ordeal. They have not so I will continue.
This is now more about OOO not doing anything about it then Chris and Kenny.
The jealously here is hilarious.
Chris has been here longer than most; he's earned all his gear including the heart trinkets. If using powerful gear was against Lockdown rules, he wouldn't be able to use it. Despite his amazing gear, his strategy is what allows him to dominate. I've never seen a striker move so fluidly as him.
Finesse is one of the top 10 guilds, and certainly the overall winner of Lockdown; however, individually no member of Finesse would last against Chris.
Finesse has the advantage of having all amazing players; the downside to this is that Finesse doesn't allow anyone of varying skill to join.
Chris and the officers of Knightmare see talent and want to help that talent grow; sure Finesse dominates Lockdown, but who is really making the impact on Sprial Knights? Chris and the officers of Knightmare are.
What's the point in posting in a Knightmare thread if all you people want to do is cause drama and flaming? Just press the back button please.
@Lejudiceux
1. Most people's problem with Chris is not his gear, but his ego and the way he acts in general. It's not jealousy or the thought of "unfairness". It's just that the way he presents himself is really annoying. If he gloated less, wasn't so demeaning and didn't repeatedly make an ass out of himself publicly, he'd probably get a lot more support. It's not uncommon for top players to essentially be icons and looked up to. Chris just.. isn't that, and it's entirely because of his personality. It's something that he could change, but he's pretty adamant about acting the way he does, from the looks of things.
2. "Knightmare thread"? This is a public thread. Chris never stated this thread was made specifically for and only for his guild. I don't know why you think other people shouldn't be able to post here.
People aren't just looking to cause drama, this is just a result of people finally getting sick of something and deciding to speak against it.
*Shrug.*
I'm jealous of Chris-chan's kawaii neko sugar girl world~~! You all must be so lucky to be neko sugar girls~!! Uguu~ x3 You neko sugar girls all totally made SK what it is!!!! You even MADE SK!!!! Desu~~~~~~~~~~!
Just kidding.
In all seriousness though, it doesn't matter how long you've been around. It doesn't matter what guild you're in. Your skills don't matter.
All that matters is if you are kawaii and sugoi.
Like me.
I'm so much more sugoi then Chris-chan, you guys don't even know. hes just jelly of my sugoi.
Watch him post because hes gonna be so mad at my sugoi! Silly neko sugar girl!
@tazurin
I couldn't have said it better. Actually, I wouldn't have even tried.
@Twili
??????????
@Chris
I have to admit, you're really good at lockdown. At dealing damage, anyways. Do you try not to bother with the points and just try to kill the enemy to prevent them from retaking any points?
I usually hold at their base point and just slaughter people.
This holds their base point and our base point for our team and allows my team to have an advantage in the other points as I am killing more than 1 person by myself.
This is why I win 99% of my random team games for the most part, and why I get low captures in most of them.
Lejeux's post pretty much sums up the whole of Spiral Knights
@Tazurin
1) If Chris can back up his ego and gloating (your words, not mine) with his obvious skill, then what's the issue? Also, calling his posting habits annoying is an opinion. If they annoy you, then ignore them.
2a) Just because other top players are role models, it doesn't mean he must be one. He's an individual.
2b) Plenty of past/present military leaders from various cultures were anything but modest but still respected and admired as role models. Obviously, Spiral Knights and historical figures aren't one in the same, but I hope you draw the parallel I'm describing.
3)"Knightmare thread," as in a thread about Chris and Knightmare's Lockdown games; why come to a thread (not specifically you) and become annoyed to a point that causes you (again, not targeting you) act irrationally and start drama?
You might wanna recheck with some of the veterans on how heart trinkets are obtained in general. I don't know about the exploit on love puppy myself, since I joined this game in the early July. Was it not Pawneu who said Chris made a thread on ' Paying 1000ce to see a love puppy' back then? God knows what happened later on.
- 'however, individually no member of Finesse would last against Chris.' -
I wonder why Corny even bothered to post the screenshots. By the way, it's easy to get top damage for your guild if you are the main carrier, damage-playing striker in essence. When you are with us, you have to compete with every other strikers we have on the team for damage, hence the damage spread throughout the strikers. This is a very simple concept.
- 'the downside to this is that Finesse doesn't allow anyone of varying skill to join.' -
It might be wise to avoid commenting on subjects you have very little understanding about. I have personally sent multiple invites to close friends ( eg. Homuhome - though he didn't join us ) in our little circle, regardless of their skills and gears. In a nutshell, we simply enjoy the company and experience of playing with people we like.
Until you brought it up, I believe no one else is obsessed with having the greatest 'impact' in this game. Something that is obscure, self-serving and difficult to assess. Then again, it's your rights to believe firmly in this idealogy as well as any notion Knightmare is much superior than Finesse.
You see, if anything, we prefer to let our actions do the talking.
Jim-Dale should probably be in this thread.
Jim-Dale is now in this thread.
@Reulogh
1) He earned that CE to pay to see that Love Puppy.
2) Speculating on if he participated in illicit activities without any proof goes both ways; so Reulogh, did you obtain all your gear thought TOS violating activities? See how easy it is to use blatant ad hominem in argument?
3) Regarding the specific situation with Corny, I'll let Chris speak on that if he chooses.
4) You invited --->close friends<--- to Finesse's --->little circle<---? Finesse is the epitome of the bourgeoisie.
Mate, you have a little something brown on your nose there.
Watch out, Chris is better than everyone... except the multiple people posting pics of beating him multiple times...
@Evilduck
As someone from down under, you probably assume from experience.
I'm from England, actually, not down under. And I challenge you to find evidence of me brown nosing as hard as you are right now. Couldn't get it further up there if you tried. :D
No, Evilduck is right. I've never seen so much sucking up in my entire life. Seriously. So much so that I'm wondering if you're actually a Chris alt.
If you want to compete seriously in lockdown, you need all of these things.
I'll never understand taking PvP in such a casual game so seriously...
Oh, also:
2) Speculating on if he participated in illicit activities without any proof goes both ways; so Reulogh, did you obtain all your gear thought TOS violating activities? See how easy it is to use blatant ad hominem in argument?
I don't think Chris himself would even comment against those accusations. That'd take some nerve.
I don't know if I want to engage with someone who made such sweeping accusations, only to sidestep when the other party presented an informed, alternative view.
@Evilduck
If you're being genuine in your assumption and not just trying to float away from the argument at hand, would you not agree that "brown nosing" is a method of earning favor to gain privilege or something material? What do I have to gain? Whether or not I post my convictions, the truth stands: Knightmare distributes rank though hard work and skill. Having a sharp tough is a valuable skill, not a tool to gain influence on a MMORPG.
@Delvro
If you are a Redditor, I'm disappointed that the prevalence of /r/athiesm hasn't made you more logical.
@Reulogh
Abdication is a choice, not an obligation.
"Knightmare thread," as in a thread about Chris and Knightmare's Lockdown games; why come to a thread (not specifically you) and become annoyed to a point that causes you (again, not targeting you) act irrationally and start drama?
Nothing speaks louder than this. Thank you for posting it.
I will try to add something useful to this debate. Would all of the top lockdown players be in a favor of an official rated lockdown mode where all of the gear you get to use is the same for everyone. As in everyone has the same basic 3 or 4 loadouts to choose from. And also auto aim would be off. That way only pure skill would determine who the overall best of the best players are. Regular lockdown and guild vs guild would be there still as it is now. You can even make it so that krogmo coins arent given out in this mode so it wouldnt take over. If that was implemented i would be back playing again.
Not being in favor of something like that would mean you solely rely on your gear to be good.
@Thimol
With quoting skills like that, you might seek a career in the tabloids.
LOL
These threads give me youtube views.
Cannot complain about free money.
HEY LET'S FLAME EVERYBODY. I would be fine if Chris left his superiority complex and bragging in his own threads, but as you can see in another topic concerning drab / military accessories, Chris is simply here to cause problems and make everybody mad. So let's just go away, so he has nobody to brag to. :P
I win 100% of my lockdown games I guess I am better than Chris.
"I support this thread being grave-yarded asap"
Lejud are you one of Chris's alt accounts? You and Magnus-Guild? Why any real person would suck up so much to Chris is beyond my comprehension.
With quoting skills like that, you might seek a career in the tabloids.
LAWL at least I have skills gg no re
Heart pendants, now I see why I had to hit you about 3-4 times before you would die, when you only had to hit me twice. The pvp matches were fun though. Even though sometimes your guildmate would try to kill me when I was on their team from a sense of habit when seeing me. Kept coming in close 2nd.
If you're being genuine in your assumption and not just trying to float away from the argument at hand,
Did you bother to read the first half of the thread? Or the countless other threads in this forum where Chris entertains us with his delusions? He's an egotistical, delusional a**hat and I'm not trying to get away from that at all. It's just pointless to keep stating it when a) all he does is call me mad/jelly/a child and b) everyone with multiple brain cells can see what he is for themselves anyway. As far as being genuine in my assumption goes - what assumption? I called you a brown noser. You are a brown noser. That's not an assumption, that's pretty damn obvious. I felt like you deserved to know. :]
would you not agree that "brown nosing" is a method of earning favor to gain privilege or something material? What do I have to gain?
Favour is enough for you, duh. He's your idol, you look up to him, you think the sun shines from his nether regions and you post in support of him because when he quotes you and agrees with you, you get a tingly feeling in the pit of your stomach and you feel vindicated.
Whether or not I post my convictions, the truth stands: Knightmare distributes rank though hard work and skill. Having a sharp tough is a valuable skill, not a tool to gain influence on a MMORPG.
Having a sharp what now? I don't know how Knightmare works (short of throwing lockdown games for each other at the expense of equally deserving people) and I really don't care. This thread isn't a Knightmare thread, it's a thread started by Chris, who happens to be in Knightmare, in a bid to inflate his own ego even further. It'll have its own gravitational pull any day now.
Duck it seems to already have it's own gravitational pull. So much that you have been sucked into orbit around it.
@ Trihelix
Nope he is one of the few people on these forums who isn't so overcome by envy to the point where it impedes them from thinking and posting rationally.
Why come to a thread (not about you at all you) and become annoyed to a point that causes you (again, this thread is not targeting you at all) to act irrationally and start drama?
@Chris
Chris, i can respect that you are a good LD players-one of the best. I, myself, could never compare to you. You have UV's, heart pendants, and all that good stuff. You use Autoaim. All of this is not againts the rules, so if you can use it, why not? I can, however, note that you should improve your personality. Maybe you are the best LD player in all of SK-but that doesn't mean that you have bragging rights to it. There are many other players out there that you haven't met yet, and they might outplay you one day. I myself, am an average player. I lose some, I win some. Good enough for me. However, winning all the time for you is not enough for you. You have to go around bragging about it. And when you lose to some other accomplished good players, you start making excuses. Also, i noted in one of your earlier posts that your team only lost because YOU had half vog and half skolver. By saying this, you are basically saying that you do not value your team however good they may be, and that it is only possible to win with you. You should always respect the members of your team. When playing lockdown, its like you have your own mini guild for a few minutses. Just like doing a guild run, you have to communicate. One of your "supporters" said that Knightmare works through hard-work and teamwork, and you agreed to that. Well, by saying that you are the sole reason anyone on your team ever wins, you are only going back on that quote. Sometimes, its just better to say good game, and leave it there. And i guarentee you this is not a troll. Just my opinion, like your opinion that you are better then many other accomplished LD players. And if you say I'm jealous, and that I am a fourteen year old girl after being dumped by my first boyfriend, i have a few things to say:
1. I am not a girl.
2. I don't have a boyfriend-that's [fabulous].
3. I don't have a girlfriend either.
4. I am not jealous-I already said that i value your accomplishments.
5. The only thing I have against you is your personality-might want to work on it. After all, I thought this thread was to give some noobs some advice for LD by watching your videos. You seem to be more interested in bragging about your wins, and if you haven't noticed like I have, this thread is turning into a flame-wars thread, with you and some other people who are against your personality like me arguing. In fact, I have not seen many people wanting to get some advice from you. Perhaps by reading some more reasonable threads unlike yours, they don't need to look at yours.
So...that's all I'm saying.
Cheerio!
~Shadow
^ Said it better then anything. Glad to have you as a friend Shadow.
Shadow if you read the first post or two by me before people started flaming me you will find nothing wrong at all.
Other than that, I find your post true and highly constructive.
-Chris
Thanks for the videos. They were very helpful. Think you could post some newer ones? The ones on here look a tad out of date and I want to see how you fight after having even more matches under your belt.
Thanks.

Why does Chris make so many smurf accounts to inflate his own ego?
Kind of amusing you're posting that from an account that appears to not have made a single post before today.
Yes, it's absolutely amusing. Those are such keen skills of observation by the way. You should definitely put it to good use. Maybe follow Chris around and chronicle his life.
If you find that amusing, you must be having laugh riots whenever a random account posts to defend Chris on the SK forums, Youtube, and elsewhere. Oh god, it's so amusing lols!
I don't care about Chris or his ego one bit, I don't care about any of the "forum celebrities", but since you're so damn butthurt that when I point out something ironical in your posts in a Chris thread you're automatically assuming I'm siding with him. It was a neutral observation.
The funniness stems from how hypocritical your accusation is when you use the exact same method you accuse him of using and that you feel the need to reply at all. YOU and your reaction to Chris are funny. "You are easily trolled" is what I'm saying, I cannot dumb it down more than this.
Now go make another alt with dog noises as a name instead so you can side with yourself.
Let's do a bit of analysis here on a Chris quote in this thread. Particularly, this one - "Nope he is one of the few people on these forums who isn't so overcome by envy to the point where it impedes them from thinking and posting rationally."
Now, this clearly states that Chris thinks almost everyone on the forums is envious, the obvious implication that it is him that they are jealous of. Now, I know for a fact that numerous posters have put images up of them beating Chris in Lockdown, I've seen the images myself. So, exactly why Chris would think that people who can beat him would be jealous of him? Because he has an overly-inflated ego. It's not a matter of backing it up or not, it's a matter of it being present, which it is, and it's really, really, REALLY annoying. That's what nearly everyone on the forums is overcome with - annoyance at Chris' gloating.
Let's look at another quote now, this one by Lejudicieux - "Also, calling his posting habits annoying is an opinion. If they annoy you, then ignore them."
It might be opinion, but it is a commonly held one. When you're annoying the majority of the people in a room, then it's time for you to shut up or leave. How would you like it if someone followed you around, screaming about how great they were, and then when you told them to stop, they told you to just ignore it? It's kind of hard to ignore anything that's being shouted every ten seconds. Oh, and just to cut you off before you start saying "Chris isn't following anyone around shouting about how great he is," just stop. I've seen screenshots of him sending messages to various non-Knightmare players about his Lockdown scores, people who have no reason to care at all. Or should we ask some of the higher-ranking members of Guild about it? Actually, let's not, lest he start harrassing them again.
Aw, Charlie-Day, I'm glad you find me so funny! So you just happened to wander into a thread, with the title named specifically after a player, read the entire thread (or are you going to say you came in to read the last comment to respond to?), to offer what I'm sure you believe was such a witty observation you could not help but share it so everyone else could admire how clever you are?
And how exactly did you come to the conclusion that I never made a post with this account? The forum/Google search? Spent some time to try and search for my name before excitedly coming back in this thread to point out "hypocrisy"? Try searching for your character name and see what shows up. Or maybe it was my lack of avatar, because a lack of avatar clearly shows how I must be new, yeah? Not only is your sense of humor/what you find amusing terrible, so is your logic. You were close somewhat though. I'll give you a hint: I have at least 30+ posts.
"You are easily trolled." Of course. This clearly isn't the same as saying "U MAD?" over and over again. Who does that? Oh yeah, Chris. Even if you're not Chris, I like how you deem one response as being trolled. Astute logic again there. Please feel free to reference this post as well how many words I've used in it to aid your future arguments pertaining to me being trolled. You're welcome.
"Dog noises." Hahahaha! No seriously, you are a total comedian. Those mewing dogs, oh god. I can't stop laughing. I cannot win against such superior wit and brilliant trolling.
Gotta say, you're one big bragger and I hate that yet this video, unlike your vanaduke solo video, really impressed me.
Nice striking there, very smooth movement. Kudos.
Oh look somebody gravedug this thread.
More money for me I guess :P
Enjoy the videos!
Gravedug? It was gone for two days. That's quite a bit away from buried.
@Chris I support your case, but I disagree with your previous posts. Striker is easy as hell with guardian class health. All you do is skate around guardians and obliterate them and their shield, auto-target recons and demolish them as well, and use the extra health to counter other strikers. Not that hard when you are one of the few people with heart pendants and insanely fast piercing swords.
Chris, tell me if I am wrong too, but it honestly does sound easy with your setup. I have a question though:
Do you think you could go into PvP and play as a striker with NO trinkets, and still be able to annihilate other pvpers?
If your answer is yes, I would like to see a video. If no, then this proves that better equipment is far superior to skill, which would be yet another flaw in the game.
I do think you have skill in LD Chris. I just want to see you show it without the health advantage you have. In the unbalanced yet enjoyable world of LD, health bonuses are 10x better than damage resistances.
Note: the reason I am challenging you to this is because you stated that you use health pendants, yet you say you are exceedingly well in skill. This is clearly not true, though, because in this game, there is a difference between excellent equipment and pure skill.
EDIT: equipment bonuses and UVs are fair play, of course. Just no trinkets.
