Did a search, but did not find any posts like this.

I haven't had time to play PR for a couple months, and my desktop is down at the moment anyways, but I was rather surprised to find this:

Southern California Airsoft League Forums-viewtopic-Back from the Middle East, new to SoCal and Airsoft.

I believe you know this gentleman. Read the whole thing; someone has some 'splainin to do.

As former military myself, I am not amused, even if I spent most of my AD driving the sick call shuttle bus (seriously, I did).

You have skip a few pages to see where it applies to PR.

I'm still reading.

I'm confused.

I get the whole PRANK thing but how did this lead to PR?

EDIT:

Wow.

WHAT THE FUCK (Pardon my language). That's very...wow.

It goes a bit beyond that.... hes a nutcase, compulsive liar, duping everyone he meets... basically a con-artist of the internets...

think snake doctor, but on a much larger scale...

Its a shame that someone who might have some potential talent (as seen in the v0.5 promo vid) has surcumb to mental illness on this scale....

yeap, thats mainly what that forum post is about... however, that is a pretty "big deal" to real serving military members. In military ciricles, basically when people "pretend" to be a serving member but actually turn out to have been lying, most feel that that person has disgraced the millions that have died for their countries, and have completely disrespected the uniform that they have pretended to have the right to wear. IF you served in your countries military, chances are you'll have simular feelings about an ******* like that...

This being true, why is Maistros an R-PUB in the first place?

There was no need for him to impersonate or act like he was in the military.

As an R-Pub he should have been 100% excited that he could take pictures of all the weapons and equipment. I'm disappointed that he wasted all his time duping people on the internet instead of contributing to something.

It's safe to say he'll probably see his special tags removed - If not, I'll never let Evil Homer hear the end of it.

It is offensive, yes... But why waste his time like that? It's just disappointing that he would dedicate so much effort to such an ******* idea.

And you know, I really liked Puddle of Mudd... But because they're involved with this shithead I'm not so sure now.

Public Relations + Video Editor -> .5 promo by him.

He's a very talented video editor. Shame to see that this ruins his rep on this site.

EDIT: If I may..

It's important to bring these kind of things to the attention of our PR community. While we all may not get along at times, when representatives of the developers hard work shit all over people it can't just be given a cold shoulder.

We may just be an assortment of players. Some come and go, some stay for a very long time. PR noobies, PR veterans - either way we all play this game at the end of a hard days work.

But what separates our game from others is the community associated with it. The amount of knowledge, work, ideas, and man-hours that our community and developers have put into this game is astounding. So when there are players/PR staff that do this kind of stuff, it reflects on our community as a whole. It's scary that the Air Soft forum found him on this site - will they now have a negative view of us?

When you see people who are involved in PR shitting all over the internet, don't be afraid to sound the horn.

With the amount of active (myself included) and retired military members that play this game, this was inappropriate. W

Great, now i cant enjoy the 0.5 video anymore...

Didnt read the entire thread over there, but maybe someone should post a link to this thread if they think PR was all like that.... Perhaps.
