Okay. Few things I need to address.
What's my name?My name is Amine (note the M comes before the N). Please get it right.
Apples spiking during the scrimNetworking 101The internet is linked by many routers. The routers make a 'network'. When Router A wants to send a message to Router X, the packet (message) has to travel through the list of routers in between.
Packet LossWhat happens when one of those routers is slow/screwed up/down? Well, the packet finds another way. This is called Packet Loss. Of course, re-sending a packet once it has been lost takes time. This results in the game 'freezing' until this packet has been re-sent and successfully arrived to the destination. Now, the path the packet takes will vary from user to user. Apple was lagging because an important router that his packets would usually take is no longer operational/is having problems. Imagine driving home, and suddenly a road you take is closed. You have to find your way around, and this is exactly what a packet does. It will cause that user to experience 'paused games' for a few seconds.
But his ping was fine..Sure, the 'packet' that contains the ping might have passed through the bad routers because of its size? Maybe it took a different path? I, for one, saw him 999 a couple times, meaning it did not always go through. There are many factors that come into play with packet loss (including size of packet, failure to 'pass it on', oversaturated network links, etc)

On with the quotes..
If you are the only one experiencing problems(and you are) It isn't server side. Its clientside or your ISP. One of the problems on your server is range, Even dracone admitted it was "Insane"
No. It could be his ISP as much as it could be any other router along the way. I'm sure it has been fixed by now and I personally don't think he'd lag if he tried OPP server once more, but then again, it is 'Our turn' now.
We gave you the option to play later when someone could sub for you, only option you wanted was to play on your server. Also it was our turn. We all get 100+ping on your server, none of us get under 50 on ours.
I personally don't recall getting the option to 'scrim later', but I do recall you asking us to sub someone. We only have 5 members, and one hasn't been seen in a little while. It is really bad sportsmanship saying 'Sub someone' when you clearly don't see anyone on the spectator team belonging to Zubs.

if you don't talk with apple and men We won't scrim you guys again.
I happen to agree with Apple and with men. What I don't agree with is you saying something along the lines of 'I have to go, good faking 999 apple' and doing a /disconnect. You had trouble with 3v4, and I think you know that when we're 100%.. somebody gonna get a hurt real bad. Somebody.. And when I say 3v4, I don't mean him not being present. Apple usually plays offense, and he was building. And I, the builder, was playing offense instead.
Clans that talk shit, and don't scrimCU. Mainly given a bad image by K-Otic. I respect them not scrimming, I have no problem with that, but K-Otic bringing up 'Everybody know you guys are whiners because you kept whining about Apples lag against OPP' in so many words just plain annoyed me. Especially coming from a friends brother, belonging to a clan that won't scrim if it's life depended on it. What's the point of a clan if you aren't going to scrim? Anyways, K-Otic is no longer welcome on my server, unless he's scrimming.
