Possible Rumors About Me
I'm sure quite a few of you know that I use other people's openers frequently. I know that some of you greatly dislike this. You tell me not to use "so and so"s move but its not even your move to tell me not to use it. Everyone's moves that I've "stolen" I have performed in the same match as the owner and had none say "do not use that move" with the exception of Odlov. I have though told him that I use his move. If anything somebody somewhere has stolen a move, made it better, disguised it and it's evolved into something somebody uses today through "stealing" again and again. We're eventually going to run out of useful openers for every game mode. When that time comes we'll all be thieves according to logic. I end my rant with "imitation is the highest form of flattery".

I see your point. Many openers are inspired by those used by others, or are simply similar by coincidence, or are just so effective they become widely used. How many players use the Focker kick in Jousting these days?
In my opinion, if the matches you're playing rely heavily on openers then you're either playing a simplistic mode or you and your opponents' skill levels aren't matching up well.

jaredvcxz. My proof to counter this rule is actually a living, breathing thing.
In any case, don't rant. If they complain, just say 'fuck you, if it works, it works. If everyone knows it, surely you can counter it?'. Simple.
Q = QUAKER OATS
Three rules of Q - 1. Qegola and Quarantine both start with Q. 2. There is no U in Qegola. 3. Qegola is you new god.So a man walks into a bar with a monkey. I forgot the rest of the joke but your mom is a whore.

In reference to Hamster I have used the judo " hamster hug" as my opener almost every single time. Except I was using it long before I even knew who hamster was (yes this was a long LONG time ago, hence why I don't play judo anymore). Good moves succeed and are passed on while others are inevitably negate.
