congrats on being wrong ethomaz, I remember one time a couple years ago you were claiming something, dunno what, you got called on it by the defense force they attack you relentlessly until the day after what you said was retold almost word for word by a developer, that was glorious, but of course back then the defense force didn't stop harassing you just like today sadly :(
keep on predicting, you are our last sensible predictors don't turn into JL or that Zero fella. B_e_L_I_E_V_E



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Lol yea. What about when he has been wrong? Did you call him out to make a thread and admit it then? The guy painted himself into a corner. Even ioi asked for an apology. He was vehement about the December NPD without proof. I actually think he is ok but extreme. He and Selnor could be brothers lol. Distant cousins at least

Poor Ethomaz.

He gets called "pathetic". He gets called "annoying". He gets told to "jump off a cliff".

Now he makes a thread to admit he was wrong about the predictions he constantly gets attacked for and in response he gets attacked, and from people who tell him he owes an apology no less. 

Well, you can't please everyone.

Please never change Ethomaz.


Its because everyone knows its a hollow thread.

Its all fine and dandy admitting you were wrong, but when you learn nothing from your plethora of mistakes then the overall "point" of it all is pointless.

His actions in the WW Up thread were classic ethomaz. Time and time again, pushing his "opinion" as fact while providing no proof and dismissing anything said against him. Cocky, smug and irritating. You just know though that despite being as wrong as can be, he will learn nothing from it and the sames gonna happen again really damn soon.


None of what you said (which still isn't entirely true) justifies this sort of behavior.


What isnt true and which sort of behavior?

Calling him "pathetc" and telling him to jump off a cliff.. this sort of behavior.

The fact that he made this thread was his attempt to tell people: "Look guys, enough with the hate! I'm aware that I make mistakes.. but that doesnt mean I wont continue to predict as far as these predictions are backed by what I see as evidence!" And yet he continues to get crap!! Well, nothing he's doing is pathetic, It was his opinion and he was confident about it. Nothing wrong with that!

Now don't misunderstand, I often, if not mostly disagree with what he writes. But nothing he's doing deserves the offense he's getting from some of the users here.

Also a lot of people can tell you that he's been changing to the better, he's nowhere as biased as he was a few months ago. Maybe you're too "irritated" to notice.


Oh, I wasnt condoning that. I thought you were saying I was in the wrong for calling him cocky, smug and irritating. He will continue to get shit from people as he continues to push baseless rumors and opinions as fact.

I notice when a user changes for the better. I thought ethomaz was a pretty good user pre-Xbox One reveal in all honesty and since then its been a downward spiral, with him even going as far as goading the owner of this very site into asking for an apology from him after his behaviour. Cares too much about the console war. He could literally pass off as the Sony version of sales2099 or selnor1983.

@Carl2291 I will continue like I'm

If I'm right then I'm right... if I'm wrong then I'm wrong... why do you think I need to change?

I like you like you are... Kowen like he is... Selnor like he is... I'm fine with everybody in this forum.

I'll be honest if I didn't think there was people on this forum who had pretty crazy thoughts and predictions I wouldn't visit here as often as I do, sometimes the things people come up with are nonsense and like... if you are reading it and you think it's bs or not based on reality that's fine and dandy. But yeah now and again even the more radical people come up with some radical cool thoughts and predictions and those can be damn enjoyable to read.

On top of that both the mod team and ioi are far more active on here than most other sites with very active forums so when someone does push their opinion as fact in a trolling/flamebait way you know they're getting sat out for a few days and their OTT comment will be marked with "moderated by X" forever so others reading over the thread days/weeks/months later know that obnoxious behaviour like that wont be tolerated.

I just think you need to improve your posting style.

The problem people are having with you is posting opinions as facts, and dismissing any other thought on the matter. Like I said the WW Up thread is a perfect example of what you do wrong. If youd have said "I think VGC will be wrong for the following reasons..." then that would have been cool, no problem. What you actually did was just say VGC was plain wrong without posting a shred of evidence for your claim when you were asked.

There are no losers or winners in this.

Just a frustration with a posting style that is irritating in the extreme. 

In the thread concerned nobody was saying he was wrong, he may have turned out to have been right last night.

We just wanted him to understand that the way he was communicationg was ridiculous, this was from all "sides" by the way, it isn't a ms v sony v ninty thing.

You are well known for your double standards and hypocrisy. You are part of the problem. See Hynad post. He makes good points. I know you won't reply. It's always the case when someone confront you with valid objections.

You don't get to complain if ethomaz posts are the only ones that bother you. That's all what I want to say.

Contrary to eThomaz's, this is an example of bad attitude. Ethomaz made a mistake and admitted it, by exposing himself publicly. That shows guts, honour and integrity. His attitude should be considered an example to follow.

The OP doesn't have any of those and him not admitting to all the other times he was wrong makes this thread irrelavant.
