Disappointing Experience
After reading numerous reviews of various Auckland Airport hotels here on TripAdvisor, my wife & I decided to book at Jet Inn, and my wife contacted the hotel to make our booking directly with them.
After arriving AKL at 11:30PM, we stayed at Jet Inn Auckland Airport Hotel on Thursday, 13 April, to make our connecting flight to Queenstown on Good Friday morning.
Two of the key factors in deciding to stay at Jet Inn were the favourable ratings the hotel received from most TripAdvisor reviewers, plus the fact the hotel claimed to offer twenty four hour room service (which was confirmed to my wife when she made our booking).
After checking in to our Deluxe Room (which, like most reviewers have indicated, was indeed modern, clean, quiet, and comfortable - full credit to the Jet Inn for this), I phoned to order room service, only to be told that there was no chef on duty, one porter not two, and he was busy driving the shuttle bus, so room service was out of the question - at least until the porter returned and was able to prepare "something" for us to eat - at a time that could not be estimated.
To be fair and keep my review honest and accurate, I will admit that I got very agitated and angry with the receptionist, and asked if we could check out of the hotel and go elsewhere to stay for the night. Imagine my shock and disbelief when I was told "yes, but you will still be charged for the night here".
Needless to say, we went to bed hungry, and left the hotel as soon as possible on Friday morning.
We can't fault the quality of the Deluxe Room at Jet Inn, but were most disappointed with the lack of care and concern shown by the front desk receptionist when we complained that we were not receiving the level of service that we expected when my wife confirmed our room reservation.
NZ$170 per night was definitely NOT good value for money, especially considering the lack of service (there was none) and bad attitude.
To add insult to injury, NZ$16.50 for 187ml bottles of wine (the exact same labels which are available at Queenstown Airport for just $6.50) from the Jet Inn mini-bar is outrageous and unreasonable.
No food and no wine makes for extremely unhappy and disappointed TripAdvisor travellers.
Good choice for airport hotel
We needed to overnight in Auckland and picked the Jet Inn based primarily on location (a few minutes drive from airport) and services (mainly free 24-hour shuttle service). The shuttle picked us up within 10 minutes of our call and delivered us to the Jet Inn within 15 minutes. The room was a standard motel-type room -- clean and well-maintained -- but not very large. It suited us just fine (a place to crash at 1 AM). Buffet breakfast was OK and the usual fare (for Australia/NZ). For our purposes, we made the right choice and would do it again. It gets 4 bullets because of location, 3 bullets otherwise. But if I were touring NZ and staying more than one night, I'd look at other hotels.
Good airport hotel
My wife and I stayed at the Jet Inn Airport Hotel for one night on a stopover between Australia and Samoa. We were looking for something reasonably priced, comfortable and convenient.
Having read through the reviews for a lot of the hotels near the airport, most of them sounded pretty grim, some verging on Fawlty Towers.
I'm happy to say that the Jet Inn fitted the bill perfectly. We stayed in a standard room for NZ$112. It was small, but clean and comfortable, which is all that was needed for 1 night. Check in was effortless and friendly and the shuttle bus efficient and convenient.
I'd definitely recommended the Jet Inn for somewhere to lay your head for the night.
Great food otherwise very ordinary
Adequate room . We had a fantastic meal at the restaurant .. the lamb was out outstanding . The pool was little more than a wading pool . Excellent suttle service to and from airport . Watch there is a charge for every hour you stay beyond normal check out which I thought was quite cheap given the monies we spent at the hotel .
Great service
I looked at the other reviews, and I guess you do have to choose your room carefully. We passed through the older section of the hotel, and even the corridors of the new section were much more tasteful! Our room was very clean and comfortable, and the bathroom large.
We got picked up from the airport by a really friendly and helpful driver, within 5 minutes of calling the hotel. The check-in and check-out process were really smooth, which is to be expected of an airport hotel, but some of the best ones often goof up.
We kept the restaurant staff going way past their closing time (10pm, though they have an all-night room service), so we didn't see bright shining faces, but they were very friendly when waiting at our table. Given our appalling experience of restaurant service in NZ, this wasn't bad at all. The food was a mix of some good and some not so great stuff, but at 10 pm at night with an early morning departure, more than adequate. And we're vegetarian, so the options for us are always limited in any case.
Excellent for an airport hotel.
Great accomodation close to the airport!
From the moment the reception desk answered the telephone, to the moment we left at 04h00 the next morning to get back to the airport, we could simply not find fault with this hotel.
Great location, especially since Auckland doesn't quite seem to have the same hotel facilities around the airport as one might expect of a major city with an international airport. Great food in the restaurant - the awards they have won, seems well deserved. (Fantastic lamb dish!!)
Simply put - I'll recommend this hotel to anyone wishing to stay in lose proximity to the airport.
Choose your room category carefully!
If your budget is not too tight, choose a "Deluxe" category room (we paid NZ$162). These are in a new wing and are a quite different experience from the disappointing NZ$137 "Premier" room we had last time. Staff were friendly and helpful (with the exception of one morose woman on the front desk, who seemed to regard customers as unwelcome irritants!). Hyper-efficient free shuttle service to/from the airport.
Did we stay at the same hotel?
Have just read the other two reviews and have to say we had a totally different experience. We were picked up at Auckland Airport at about 12.30 at night about 10mins after phoning the hotel by a really friendly and helpful bus driver and taken to the hotel where the front desk staff were also really nice-especially considering the hour of night! We were shown to our room which was fantastic! The bathroom had a walk in double shower and fluffy robes, the tea and coffee making facilities were fine, the room had two queen sized beds and a sofa, desk and flat screen TV. The room was quiet and two adults and two toddlers slept off the long flight from UK just fine! I cannot comment on the restaurant food because we did not eat at the hotel. As a stopover before collecting our car the next morning (used the shuttlebus to go back to the airport) I cannot fault the Jet Inn.
Avoid eating in the restaurant
I agree with the previous review re the size of the room, and although the hotel itself was reasonably attractive and the staff were pleasant it definitely wasn't 4 star. The location means that guests have little option to eat elsewhere but the meal we had in the restaurant was appalling. What was described as a prime Angus beef steak, priced at NZ $33, turned out to be an inedible lump of fat and gristle. And the beef carpaccio had the smallest slivers of meat ever seen plus some of the ingredients were missing. We wouldn't stay there again.
Sad indictment on what constitutes 4 star in NZ
This supposed 4 star hotel was recommended by the travel agent who had also set us up with a 4 star hotel in Kuala Lumpur that only cost $2 NZD more than the Jet Inn. Perhaps given the economic standing of each country its inevitable that the Jet Inn came across as a rip off after our KL experience.
For $138 NZD it was accommodation only at the Jet Inn (twin room on the way out 28 Dec & single room for me on the 20 Jan). In KL for $140 NZD a sumptuous buffet breakfast was available.
The dimensions of the Jet Inn room were mean. It was pokey. There was no wardrobe, but the open wall shelving unit contained a couple of coathangers. I wouldn't have thought a wardrobe - at least some doors on a cupboard - would be too much to expect for 4 star!
The best thing about the Jet Inn was that the staff running the shuttle bus and reception desk were attentive and friendly. The shuttle service dropped me off at the local 24 hour supermarket, enabling me to buy some food for dinner & breakfast as I totally begrudged handing over any more $$ to the management of the Jet Inn.

2 Firefighters Shot and Killed at Scene of Fire in Webster, N.Y.; Gunman Dead (UPDATED)
UPDATE 4:07 p.m. EST: Authorities have identified the gunman as William Spengler, an ex-convict who spent 17 years in prison for murdering his 92-year-old grandmother in 1980.
Spengler was paroled for the crime in 1998.
Police also have not located Spengler's 67-year-old sister, who lived in the house with Spengler.
Authorities also report that a total of seven houses were destroyed in the blaze.
UPDATE 12:40 p.m. EST: Police chief Gerald Pickering says that the gunman, who was killed at the scene, either by police or from a self-inflicted wound, may have set a trap for first responders.
UPDATE 12:15 p.m. EST: The Associated Press is reporting that the gunman who killed the two firefighters is also dead. His body was found at the scene. The names of the two deceased firefighters, according to the Democrat and Chronicle, are Mike Chiapperini, 43, a volunteer firefighter and the Webster Police Department's public information officer, and Tomasz Kaczowka. The names of the wounded firefighters are Joseph Hofsetter and Theodore Scardino.
Early Monday morning two firefighters were shot and killed when responding to a call in Webster, New York, just outside Rochester. After the firefighters arrived at 191 Lake Road, an unknown shooter fired at them as they left their truck, killing two of them and wounding two others. The wounded men are at a nearby hospital; one is in stable condition, the other is in guarded condition.
NRA Breaks Silence, Plans Press Conference on Friday
The National Rifle Association went quiet after last week's shootings in Newtown, Connecticut, and many have been wondering what the gun-advocacy group would have to say. On Tuesday, the NRA released an official statement:
Westboro Baptist Church to Protest Newtown Funerals; Internet Retaliates
Members of the Westboro Baptist Church, known for protesting the funerals of U.S. armed servicemen and women, announced that they plan to picket the upcoming funerals of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. This did not go over well on the Internet.
27 Dead, Including 20 Children, in Connecticut Elementary School Shooting (UPDATED)
NOTE: This post will be continually updated as new information comes in. Video and photos are below. All times Eastern.
UPDATE 6:30 p.m.: Originally it was thought that Adam Lanza, the gunman, shot his mother at the Sandy Hook Elementary school, where she was a teacher's aide. ABC has learned that, in fact, Nancy Lanza was killed at her home (by her son) prior to the massacre. He then drove to the school, where he killed 20 children and six adults, before killing himself.
How Leading Sports Figures Reacted to the Connecticut School Massacre
When something like the horrific shooting spree at Sandy Hook Elementary School happens, the major sports we follow can suddenly feel a bit smaller. But world-class athletes who normally seem bigger than life watched today's events unfold just like the rest of us, on TV, and shared their thoughts just like the rest of us, on social media.
We read some of their reactions on Twitter and collected them here:

1989 Volkswagen Cabriolet • 4 cylinder FWD Manual • 130,000 miles
1989 Volkswagen Cabriolet mileage: 130,000. Manual shift. Frequently after driving in stop and go traffic or after prolonged periods of driving, the fuel pump begins to whine noisily. Shortly after that, the front end jolts violently a couple of seconds after being shifted into another gear. Frequently after that, the engine stalls. The car starts easily after it stalls, but within a minute I'm in the same boat. The fuel pump has been replaced twice on the advice of my mechanic and the engine mounts have also been replaced, but I still get the same symptoms; whining loudly before the jolting and stalling. The whining and stalling leads me to believe it's a fuel pump problem but the front end jolting makes me think I may have to replace the clutch also. Any suggestions?

Your car should be equipped with a second fuel pump that is located inside the fuel tank. This pump pushes thefuel to the main fuel pump. If the pump in the tank fails, it will cause the problem you described.

How to find a job with your blog
Dec 26th
Almost two years ago, I wrote a post outlining all of the ways blogging can benefit job-seekers. Since then, I have toured a lot of college campuses and counseled dozens of people who are trying to start a career without really immersing themselves in the social web. They are missing a HUGE opportunity.
Obviously LinkedIn is essential. I happen to believe Twitter is a great way to make connections. I'm even seeing resumes show up as video productions and on Slideshare.
But blogging is often overlooked as an essential element in a job-hunting strategy. I feel so strongly about this and I'm hoping my message will get through to as many job-seekers as possible.
So, with the creative direction of Sarah Mason, I've developed an interesting and whimsical little eBook spelling out why every job-seeker needs to blog. I hope you will enjoy this and pass it on to others who are looking for a career change. Let me know what you think about it in the comment section!

When you are doing nothing, you are doing something
Dec 24th
By Preston Reed, {grow} Community Member
At this time of year when we traditionally find some time to rest, I think it is important to reflect on the important work of doing nothing.
I am a professional musician and my life's work depends on being creative.
When I first finish a challenging creative project, I feel a sense of relief and euphoria.
That feeling may last for a little while. But eventually it wears off … and I am left feeling exhausted.
The truth is, the project has caused me to put out an enormous amount of energy, and I now need a rest. When I am tired I lose (temporarily) my ability to create, innovate, or think fresh thoughts.
And that makes me feel lost.
Fatigue separates me from the heady feeling of power, confidence, and dynamism that was part of the creative mode I was in, and that I had grown attached to.
That electrifying sense of connection with what I was creating disappears and is replaced by a feeling of weakness, listlessness — sometimes actual depression.
I say things to myself like, "How could I ever have accomplished what I just accomplished and then feel as empty as I'm feeling now?"
I worked so hard, gave so much. Why don't I feel happy now?
I rail against my tiredness, as if doing so will bring the magic back.
It doesn't work of course. I just feel even more empty and exhausted.
Then at a certain point it all bottoms out and I recognise that I am in a state of withdrawal. I accept that I am tired, let go of trying to be dynamic and creative, adjust my mood and expectations and move on to other things.
After a lifetime of dealing with my creative cycles, I have learned that the magic always comes back.
An idea for new tune, an opportunity for a cool photograph, an insight for a blog post are all right around the corner.
The secret is to get away from the intense creative activity I've just spent so much time in, and do … well … nothing for a little while.
I ride my bike, take naps, stare into space, run household errands, fix things, read, cook, meditate, tidy my studio, take walks, catch up with friends, and generally do anything and everything that is not about the creative project I was just doing.
The Irish have a saying: "A change is as good as a rest."
Actually, changing a pattern of behavior is a rest from that behavior and its associated activities.
Being creative is not just about the active, productive times. It's about the silences, the gaps, the pauses between creating, when it can seem there's nothing going on and time is being wasted.
It's not.
When nothing is going on in your conscious mind, there's always something going on in your unconscious mind — where the development of the next idea, the next composition, the next project, the next solution to a problem begins.
Creativity is not just about manifestation. It's about gestation.
When you are doing "nothing", you are doing something very important.
When the rechargeable battery in my electric beard-trimmer runs out, I plug it in. It takes about eight hours to fully recharge. During that time I don't use it.
Next time you are feeling tired and disappointed in yourself, give yourself a break.
You are in the battery-charging part of a creative cycle. Use this time to take care of the rest of yourself.
You'll be back soon.

Social media success: Do you have the right people on the bus?
Dec 23rd
Can people be re-trained to adopt a "social business" perspective? In many cases, I am beginning to doubt it.
I was reminded recently by my friend Debra Andrews of the importance of getting the right people on board with your business in these changing times. We were having a discussion about the book Good to Great, which has stood the test of time as one of the greatest business books ever written. In this book, author Jim Collins goes through extensive research on what makes companies outperform competitors over decades.
One point that he makes is the essential strategy of getting the best people "on the bus" to drive your business. I have worked with dozens of companies over the past few years and, after corporate culture, I think this is the biggest obstacle to social media success.
While many companies are plowing enormous resources into social media efforts, are they the RIGHT resources or are we simply putting square pegs into round holes and checking a box?
Here's a very real example of what I mean. Over the last few months, I have had a lot of demand for social sales training in an attempt to make their teams more social media savvy.
During the training, everyone seems energized and focused … maybe even inspired. But months later,usually only a small percentage of those who received the training actually adopted any changes.
Of course there could be many factors for this. Maybe this is simply human nature to seek equilibrium and return to old habits. Maybe it is not adequately supported by management. Maybe my training sucked.
But as I observe this pattern over and over across different organizations, I am coming to the conclusion that a root cause is that many entrenched employees will just never "get it." Maybe it is time to start looking for different people to put on the bus if this is a true priority for an organization.
Certainly re-training could be an option, especially if there is follow-up and active management support which includes changes to performance objectives and the reward system. But if your efforts at change keep hitting a wall even if your management team has diligently pressed for institutional change, maybe it's time to look at bringing some fresh energy on to the team.
One other perspective I would add here. When I managed a global corporate team, I took a very hands-on approach to hiring new employees because every person can have such a dramatic impact on our success and direction.
I was inspired by the advice of former Steelers football coach Chuck Noll who said that he simply recruited based on the best athletes he could find, instead of merely looking to fill a skill set.
That always worked for me too. When filling a position, I wanted to find people who had the ability to replace me, replace my boss, maybe run the company one day. That is the type of person who can really take a department in exciting new directions, no matter what the day-to-day job requires.
As we enter a new year with fresh goals and objectives maybe it is also time to reflect on the human component and leadership that really makes corporate change happen. What do you think?

How About a Junior GM Game?
Okay, since we all know that we are the real experts and the teams are foolish to pay GMs large sums of money since we could do the job more successfully and for half the cost, let's show everyone some of our greatest picks. And to show how ballsy we are, let's be candid and list some of our failures. List the following:
A. A prospect you was a pro bowler in waiting and would have been picked much higher if teams just listened to you. :cj:
B. A prospect thought to be taken too high, but proved to be worthy of the pick and you were all over it. :waiting:
C. A prospect who was both rated and taken far too high who you knew beyond a shadow of a doubt would be a bust. :facepalm:
D. A prospect that fell and became a "steal" on draft day, but only on draft day just as you predicted. :gtfo:
Here's mine to start things off:
A. Anquan Boldin- excellent at finding spot spot in coverage, attacked the ball and then bullied the defender. Also, I couldn't understand how Ed Reed wasn't picked in the top ten over Roy Williams. The guy did the exact same thing he does now in college but apparently no one noticed.
B. Nnamdi Asomougha- Everyone was like "huh?" I was like, yeah! Loved his size, wheels and smarts coming out. I'll throw in Lamar Houston in the high as well.
C. Cade McNown- Honestly, I couldn't begin to see the attraction to this bum. I wanted to say Vernon Gholston but I have mentioned him too much already, so I'll make Heath Shuler my runner up.
D. Antajj Hawthorne- As a Raiders fan, I wish I was wrong on this one, but when a "first round talent" falls all the way to the 4th because he smoked weed, he probably can't ball.
I picked Jones-Drew, Mike Wallace, Rob Gronkowski, DeMaryius Thomas, Kyle Rudoloph. Still waiting to cash in on Gabbert, but he will turn out to be the best of that class I think.
No misses. That I remember at least. :)
These threads always just result in everyone lying.
i was right about ray rice you can all suck it and i'm a genius, the end
A- Jamaal Charles
B- Demaryius Thomas
C- Jamarcus Russell
D- Dontay Moch
A Clinton Porits, B Bruce Irvin, C Alex Smith (idc that he's mildly successful now, he was brutal for ~5 years), D Tony Pape
A DeSean Jackson (Marcus McNeil would be my pick pre injury. Or Aaron Rodgers)
B Bruce Irvin (know it's already taken but it just fits too well)
C Mark Sanchez
D Taylor Mays
I was also wrong a ton of times, though. I liked Cedrick Ellis. Loved Prince Amukamara. Thought Reggie Williams (WR) was gonna be a stud. I'm really nervous Alshon Jeffery is gonna burn me, too. Love that guy.
A. Mike Wallace - Wanted him so bad that draft and we went and took Terrence Knighton and traded back up for Derek Cox in the 3rd.
B. Don't recall any off the top of my head.
C. Jason Smith - HATED him coming out. Gabbert would be another one.
D. Mike Thomas - Didn't really "fall", but I thought he was going to open up the offense so much. One decent season and nothing disappointment afterward. BLEH.
A. Brandon Flowers - felt he was the best CB that year, taken in 2nd rnd after 4 CB's were already taken. People were worried about lack of speed, but you watch his tape and you saw how solid he was at VTech.
B. Antonio Cromartie - A lot of people thought that#19 was too early for a guy that was coming off missing his whole junior year with Torn ACL, and didnt even start his soph year. As FSU fan, knew this kid was just a straight playmaker and perfect build for a lock on CB. Also terrific at making babies.
C. Aaron Maybin- Saying Vernon Gholston is too easy because I believe anyone that knew football knew that kid sucked and didn't deserve top 20 let alone top 5 pick. So I go with Maybin who i thought was a borderline 2nd rnd pick and my Bills decided #11 was the right time to pick him. I was pretty despondent after we took him because I knew we just wasted another year.
D. David Clowney - I thought teams would rue the day they let Clowney fall to the 5th rnd. Good speed for his size and seemed to be a playmaker. And I just ended up being the Clown....damn it.
I don't really have another good one. I was a fan of JPP and Demaryius Thomas, though I don't really remember what the consensus was on them.

Have you ever driven a tank before? If not, it is about time to take a test drive with this monster Hummer Limo in Las Vegas. At least take a test ride. You probably can't be any safer while you are traveling in the busy traffic of Las Vegas. This long stretch Hummer Limousine is twice as long as the original Hummer H2 and really commands attention. If you want to make a statement with your transportation, this is the way to do it. The Hummer 2 limo comes equipped with a premium sound system, TV, DVD/CD player and club lighting. Taking advantage of the club lighting is a great way to prep yourself up when you headed to one of Las Vegas' famous clubs. Alternately, since your driver will be taking care of fighting with Las Vegas traffic, you can watch television as a great way to relax.
Your comfort is our primary concern, as well as your enjoyment. Las Vegas is about more than slot machines, craps, and clubs. It is about more than seeing the Eiffel Tour, the canals of Venice, or the Luxor light beam; it's also about being pampered. When you rent our Hummer limo Vegas, you are taking your night into your own hands. Fashion it into whatever shape your heart desires. Hummer limo is probably the best option for bachelor bachelorette parties.
Driver gratuity is included. Call 1800-920-8847

Hello there!
I have tried both methods of using it (widget & function call in theme) but it doesn't show up.
I am on a test install with valid markup, php 5.2.6 and using the latest version of the plugin.
I have gone through your FAQs and other notes but I can't get it to working. It just takes up space, shows up as code but doesn't display anything. Tried the compatibility mode already.
What you recommend I do?
P.S. - It works fine on a different WP installation on localhost only.

Zeta Arrested over 49 Dismembered Bodies
May 22, 2012
Mexican army officials announced on Monday the arrest of a Zeta drug cartel member deemed responsible for the dumping 49 bodies along a highway in northern Mexico last week. Daniel de Jesus Elizondo Ramirez, known as "El Loco," was captured by Mexican troops on Friday and was present at Monday's press conference. According to a military spokesperson, Zeta bosses Miguel Angel Treviño Morales and Heriberto Lazcano ordered Elizondo Ramirez to leave the bodies in a town square in Cadereyta, though they were ultimately found in the town of San Juan, 18 miles (29 km) east of Monterrey on May 13.
Graffiti at the scene of the crime immediately made the Zetas likely suspects and authorities' suspicions were confirmed when a banner was found near the bodies that read, "Gulf cartel, Sinaloa cartel, marines and soldiers, nobody can do anything against us or they will lose," and was signed by Zeta leaders. In the days following the incident, signs appeared across northern Mexico claiming that the Zetas were not in fact responsible, but authorities did not take the bait. The 43 men and 6 women were found with heads, hands and feet cut off, making the identification process much more difficult for Mexican authorities.
Last week's massacre was the third such atrocity this month in the "Triangle of Death"—the area between highways that connect Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Reynosa and Nuevo Laredo that is ground zero of the war between cartels. Eighty percent of the 4,832 missing person cases between 2006 and 2011 occurred in that area.
Mexico Prison Staff Fired After Riot
February 21, 2012
The director of the Apodaca prison in Monterrey, Mexico, was fired yesterday along with several prison officials following Sunday's bloody riot that killed 44 inmates and led to the escape of 30 more prisoners. The escaped prisons are suspected of having ties to the Zetas drug cartel, while most of the murdered inmates were from the rival Gulf gang. The two gangs were allies before they split in 2010 in a turf war over Monterrey's drug trafficking routes.
The dismissed officials were suspected of abetting the riot and consequent prison break, as there was no sign that the inmates received external help. "It is hard for us to accept that the treachery, corruption and complicity of some [officials] can undermine the work of the good police and military who risk their lives every day for public security," said Nuevo León Governor Rodrigo Medina. Prison guards in Mexico are susceptible to corruption due to low pay and common threats made to them or their families by gangs. A $775,000 reward has been offered for information leading to the capture of the fugitive prisoners. One of the escaped inmates was identified as Oscar Manuel Bernal, alias "El Spider," a Zeta lieutenant arrested in 2010 for the murder of the Nuevo León police commander.
Overcrowding and corruption in prisons has been a persistent problem in Nuevo León and other states at the center of Mexico's drug war. In the state of Tamaulipas, a riot last month killed 31 people, while 20 more died in a similar conflict in October. Central American countries like Guatemala and Honduras are facing similar problems. Only last week, a fire in the severely overcrowded Comoyagua penitentiary killed 359 inmates in Honduras. The prison held twice its capacity of inmates, many of whom were being held on suspicion of drug- or gang-related activity but were not convicted of any crime.

Re: Why does W/L K/D matter so much?IDCyourlife_SA Jul 2, 2014 6:45 PM (in response to 0rphansim)
im with u bro, im not pro at thsi game,but sincerly i dont understand ppl that cares a LOT his/her ratio, also i dont care about it, normally they are children, just ignore or mute those kids that are crying for the ratio....
Re: Why does W/L K/D matter so much?NaTuReS_FrEaK Jul 3, 2014 2:35 AM (in response to 0rphansim)
um cause the difference between my and your stats tells how much my "THING" is bigger then yours, i think
Re: Why does W/L K/D matter so much?deathbydevice Jul 3, 2014 11:20 AM (in response to NaTuReS_FrEaK)
No, this is what it means.
K/D=depending on how big your ass is and how many twinkies you could eat in a minute.
W/L=how many of grease you have on your face and how many days you went without a shower
That's what it means. Only players that look and act the same care
Re: Why does W/L K/D matter so much?MetalGearSF Jul 3, 2014 8:38 AM (in response to 0rphansim)
people are eliteists man. they think because their camping has a higher K/d that they are better then you and have more skill. when really it shows they have no skill. just because their numbers are better doesnt mean your a better player. personally i prefer to play with run and gunners cause lets face it anyone can lock down an area by staying staionary. lets see the same person win by blitzing. bet they cant. the ones that bother me are the people that camp with an LMG and a thermal and their defence is i was sniping. rigggggght. if your sniping your not useing an LMG. try a sniper rifle or a marksmans rifle. cause sniping doesnt mean spraying bullets in an area from a long distance to rack up kills. sniping is defined as:
shoot at someone from a hiding place, especially accurately and at long range
now the key here is the especially accurately part. 5 shots from an LMG isnt accurate. 1 maybe 2 tops. also ask any trained sniper they will tell you the golden rule when snipeing.
"Never fire more then 2 shots from any given locate when not in a hide." and being you cant build hides in the game the point is made.
btw man if your looking for some more like minded individuals get at us . www.metalgearsfcod.com
Re: Why does W/L K/D matter so much?DocChoi Jul 3, 2014 9:08 AM (in response to 0rphansim)
K/D by itself means nothing. The funny thing is those who talk a ton of crap often are the rage quitters and the dashboarders. Usually if someone talks crap to me in the lobby about my K/D, I like to give them a some "free samples", often they leave pretty quickly once I have air support up. Sometimes, I like to send them a nice message afterwards, they rarely ever respond or just back out the next time they see me.
IMO, W/L and score per game are the two stats I would say I care about, as those are more representative of overall ability in the game. I could care less if my K/D takes a hit as long as we win.
Re: Why does W/L K/D matter so much?theroc23 Jul 3, 2014 11:05 AM (in response to 0rphansim)
I strictly play for fun. For me winning is much more fun than losing, but losing is also part of the game and I take it in stride. What does irk are supposedly "play for fun" teammate that play foolishly to the point of almost getting killed on purpose as they run to the same place and get killed over and over.
The bottom line is that there's absolutely nothing wrong with being bad at the game, but playing foolishly in TEAM ORIENTED formats is selfish and inexcusable. It's not really easy for the rest of the team to make up for 5-29 stooge. To those players I say- "Slow down and give your teammates a chance".
Re: Why does W/L K/D matter so much?phxs72 Jul 3, 2014 11:37 AM (in response to 0rphansim)
KD is pretty much worthless. As with every other stat in the game it's easily manipulated. However, for those that would rather judge someone based on stats then it's an indicator albeit a rather shallow one. You really have to pair it up with average kills per game or SPM or something of that like to get a feel for the players abilities and lets not forget gamemode and the factoring of their W/L into the equation. With so many things that have to be considered to even give KD a proper judgment, it's a wonder that anyone puts much stock in KDs value beyond the extremely low numbers. W/L is more valuable but the number alone really doesn't say much about the player unless it's at the extreme ends. A person with an extremely low W/L is going to be pretty useless as a teammate. That is if winning is your goal. A person with an extremely high W/L is going to likely be someone that plays in a party all time or in IW games plays Infected. You won't know if they are a major contributor to the win or not based on their W/L but at the very least they aren't preventing their team from winning. For a solo player the W/L is harder to read because they don't have any real say in the outcome of the game beyond their personal contribution. To be a solo player and have a W/L in the 40 to 45% range, I find that those guys are often good teammates. Solo players in the 45 to 50% range generally are the guys that can backpack their team to a win. Again all stats can be manipulated. So these are just general statements.
Now on to the other part of your question. If you aren't enjoying the people that you are with win or lose then you are doing something wrong. The whole point of a game is to have fun. That's it. Everything else is incidental. If you start by having fun eventually the other stuff will work itself out even if you never find it to be important stuff.
Re: Why does W/L K/D matter so much?meeshter14 Jul 3, 2014 3:30 PM (in response to 0rphansim)
Well, you answered your own question as, at the end of the day, it only matters to those who think it matters. It is a video game and for the most part, the people who would bash you about your stats are anonymous strangers so why would their opinion count for anything? I think phxs72 nailed it and provide a clear and reasoned response which is very refreshing to read.
Re: Why does W/L K/D matter so much?BanHaMMer Jul 3, 2014 3:32 PM (in response to 0rphansim)
It only matters in TDM and FFA
Re: Why does W/L K/D matter so much?xqdogx Jul 5, 2014 1:04 PM (in response to 0rphansim)
Some people can enjoy the game even though they lose every game but I myself would rather win more than I lose. To me it's more fun. I can't see myself playing for 20+ days in the game and not improved since when I bought it. I would rather trade it in and try to find a game that I'm better at.
Re: Why does W/L K/D matter so much?xX--MattySW--Xx Jul 5, 2014 1:38 PM (in response to 0rphansim)
These people that say k/d means nothing are logically wrong. In certain game modes K/D is the most important stat such as TDM, as if you have a positive K/D then by nature you kill more than you die, which is what you need to do to win. If you don't believe me, play a TDM with a team of negaitve K/D's and you are odds on to lose the game.
Re: Why does W/L K/D matter so much?Rizzy_lightz Jul 5, 2014 7:27 PM (in response to 0rphansim)
Don't worry man, everything is okay. There just try hards K/D is just a number. Have fun with the game, don't listen to anyone you'll be okay.
Re: Why does W/L K/D matter so much?DoubleH215 Jul 6, 2014 2:39 PM (in response to Rizzy_lightz)
What is a "try-hard" when there are objectives in a game?
Better yet, what does it mean not to be a "try-hard?"
Re: Why does W/L K/D matter so much?Dis3ngageNZ Jul 5, 2014 7:39 PM (in response to 0rphansim)
I don't see the point in K/D W/L but its handy info to have, i generally play with 3-5 others and we don't care about it. to me W/L and K/D is just icing on a cake
Re: Why does W/L K/D matter so much?BigBlackScaryAl Jul 6, 2014 11:52 AM (in response to 0rphansim)
It only matters to the tryhards, like myself. However, I have only a 1.62 k/d and a 1.5 w/l but I have to say I hate playing with people above 2.0 in each category because they play selfishly, as in not going for caps and responding to callouts and they are more likely to dashboard. The kids I love to play dom with are the .750-1.5ish k/ds and idc about the win loss because those people are easier to work with and you know they will help you cap flags even when death is lurking, just like me. I had a 1.80 a time ago but I just cant stay away from the objective. My win loss during my highest k/d days was barely a 1.0. I was a try hard for k/d and I wasnt winning now I'm a tryhard for the objective and I find myself dying a little more, and winning A LOT more.
Re: Why does W/L K/D matter so much?DoubleH215 Jul 6, 2014 2:28 PM (in response to 0rphansim)
Let's break it down:
#1) What are your reasons for using the online feature for this game?
#2) If it's just for fun, then what's specifically fun about it?
#3) If your fun have nothing to do with teamwork, then why would you play game modes that involves teams in it?
#4) Could you not have your fun with modes such as Local Play, Lan Party, Squads and Extinction?
#5) Or how about single player modes like the Gun Game, Free for All and Infected?
#6) Like a game of Chess, those whom find fun in it, are trying to win. Those chess pieces are the players trying to work together to gain a victory over the others. So when you're playing a game that involves W/L's & K/D's ratio, why ask why does those things matter?
Re: Why does W/L K/D matter so much?Carvalho16 Jul 6, 2014 3:22 PM (in response to 0rphansim)
Both stats can be fairly meaningless.
W/L ratio in particular punishes you for being a 'lone wolf'. Someone with a 2+ W/L who plays solo is probably a much better player than someone with twice that but won't play without 5/6 in a party. The problem with this game and probably pertains to most CODs is that: A team of 6 average players will usually beat a team with 2 brilliant players and 4 catastrophes. So not only is a solo player disadvantaged by the fact they don't have a full party to carry them every game but they are also handicapped by matchmaking, something in which a party will never suffer from. I solo and playing full parties is just tedious when you have to try and carry a team.
K.D is a small indicator of ability but can be equally useless when taken out of context.
Just play how you want to play and enjoy the game. Know your limitations and equip yourself accordingly.
Re: Why does W/L K/D matter so much?WNSA Jul 6, 2014 4:12 PM (in response to 0rphansim)
If you're a casual player why are you so concerned about people who care about their stats? People will talk trash regardless it's online gaming, K/D and W/L are just easy targets. If stats are removed what is there to keep hardcore CoD players entertained after they have reached max prestige 3 months after the game's release? Why do I like stats? They are a CHALLENGE to keep people entertained when they have nothing else to play for. I'm fed up with seeing dozens of these posts every day targeting people who actually play win and enjoy doing it. To me losing or going super negative just isn't fun, but if other people enjoy playing that way more power to them.
People should be able to play the game however they want to play it, regardless if they are a casual player just fooling around, or a CoD vet playing to win and raise his stats. You don't like playing with randoms? Go find some like minded friends. You don't like playing tryhards? Find a new lobby.
Re: Why does W/L K/D matter so much?deathbydevice Jul 6, 2014 5:17 PM (in response to WNSA)
Its still this thing about trashing a person that they're better then. Why would they want to do it? Just today i got trashed for having a 1.2k/d by a team cause I was using the m27 or whatever it was and they were calling me a *** cause I was killing them. They're sending me messages on psn that aren't nice cause I said at least I don't cry when I die and I have a life outside the game. Can I get a console ban on them if they continue this harassment?
People need to realize its a game, not a life.
Re: Why does W/L K/D matter so much?955i-rider Jul 6, 2014 4:38 PM (in response to 0rphansim)
Fair comment, but maybe we should expect more from the developers to keep us enthralled rather than a few tawdry challenges while we wait for the next wallet drain they produce.
Re: Why does W/L K/D matter so much?xqdogx Jul 6, 2014 11:19 PM (in response to 0rphansim)
I rather hear people trashing each other over related issues like K/D and W/L than unrelated issues like social or racial insults.
Re: Why does W/L K/D matter so much?swaggboi1 Jul 7, 2014 12:54 AM (in response to 0rphansim)
cause u have a jight kd you hav more kills so you are better idiot
Re: Why does W/L K/D matter so much?Alky6 Jul 7, 2014 1:14 AM (in response to 0rphansim)
It only matters to those it matters to. If you can't handle the insults, mute them. I generally mute everyone right in the first match. I play as a solo in TDM HC 99% of the time and unless I happen to go in a party which is rare, then I have nice peaceful matches without all the stupid noises, music, insults, babies crying in the background, etc., etc. It's your game, play it the way YOU want to play!
Re: Why does W/L K/D matter so much?Lumened Jul 7, 2014 1:34 AM (in response to 0rphansim)
It matters to people who actually take time to recognize their statistics. I'm sort of in that area. I don't want a horrible W/L and K/D, or I get a bunch of **** from the lobby. But my K/D and W/L are high, and I get recognized for it a lot.
Re: Why does W/L K/D matter so much?wndrlstmmx Jul 7, 2014 3:02 AM (in response to 0rphansim)
I don't care for K/D or W/L because I get stomped all the time. But I do like using it as a challenge to get better at the game. I don't camp because it's so frustrating and I just like to move around the map and get my kills. But to so many mostly young kids in COD community see it as the higher it is the better they are; even though most of them are campers. I ignore people who talk big on K/D because COD is just a game and at the end of the day you're gonna lose some and win some.
Re: Why does W/L K/D matter so much?Schoat333 Jul 7, 2014 6:42 AM (in response to 0rphansim)
There are so many clans and quitter in this game that none of the stats mean anything. If you play with a clan against solo randoms, the stats for those games don't mean anything. If you are a solo player that is dumped onto a team where 5 of the 6 players rage quit, the stats for those games don't mean anything.
I try to ignore my stats for those games, and only worry about the legitimate games where the teams have a fair share of clan members, and people that stay in the game.
Re: Why does W/L K/D matter so much?xX--MattySW--Xx Jul 7, 2014 6:47 AM (in response to Schoat333)
Your k/d is still affected even when you rage quit.

SMU at Texas A&M: Five things to watch in Saturday's clash
Photo: Brad Loper/Staff Photographer
DOUBLE TROUBLE: The Mustangs have a pair of receivers who rank in the top-20 in yards receiving a game in Jeremy Johnson (pictured) and Darius Joseph. Johnson is eighth in the country with 121.5 yards receiving a game. Joseph 108 yards a game are tied for 17th. Joseph grabbed a touchdown pass with 12 seconds left as SMU rallied for the win over Montana State. It was one of three catches he had on the winning drive.

Re: The Sims 4
I was obsessed with the first Sims and have spent a fair amount of time on Sims 2 as well, but I never really got into Sims 3. I have all of the expansions that I wanted for Sims 2 and have been satisfied with replaying that one.
There are many different kinds of Sims players, and the problem for me is that the newer games are trending away from my purpose for playing. I enjoy the "boring" day to day stuff that we have to make them do, like eating, going to the bathroom, getting to work on time, studying, etc. I couldn't care less about going out on the town or shopping or visiting neighbors. I want to spend hours and hours meticulously building and decorating a house and creating Sims, and then spend hours and hours meticulously controlling their lives. For instance I would never leave the Free Will box checked, that would defeat the whole purpose of the game to me.
It became clear to me that this was not the typical way to play, and not the direction that the series was going in, when I participated in a focus group for a new Sims game a few years ago (Sims Castaway, I think it ended up being called). We all got to play the new game and then give our feedback in a group setting, and I was clearly the odd man out. I started with, "It's completely ridiculous that they only go to the bathroom once every two days, that's not realistic at all, and why don't they need to eat hardly anything? Too many directed tasks are given, I would prefer to decide on my own everything they do." The rest of the group looked at me like I was crazy and said that was their favorite part of the new game, not having to focus on daily tasks.
And so I think I'll just stick with Sims 2, which is really the perfect game to me.
Time present and time past
are both perhaps present in time future.
And time future contained in time past.

Welcome to Kevin McKidd Online!
We are the official website for Kevin McKidd ~ actor, director, musician, and gentleman extraordinaire. "KMKO" is your ultimate resource for news, social interaction, charity information, and all exciting events happening in Kevin's life!
Over the past two decades, Kevin McKidd has established himself as a lauded film, television, and voice actor across the globe. His diversity and range is evident in the roles he chooses. Currently in his 7th season as "Owen Hunt" on the primetime television hit Grey's Anatomy, Kevin's other projects include TV's Rome, Journeyman, and Anna Karenina; films Trainspotting, 16 Years of Alcohol, Dog Soldiers, and the Academy Award winning Pixar animated feature Brave; as well as voice work in the highly popular video games Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto.
In 2010, Kevin added director to his box of tricks. He first stepped up to the plate by helming 4 webisodes of Grey's Anatomy. As a frequent director of that show, now with 8 regular season episodes also under his belt and counting, Kevin continues to demonstrate his keen ability both in front of and behind the camera.
Kevin is a veritable force to be reckoned with - a person who really can do it all. An accomplished musician, in 2012, he released The Speyside Sessions, a collection of traditional Scottish folk tunes recorded live with friends and fellow musicians. The charity album, described as "a love letter to Scotland", reached #1 on the I-Tunes world music downloads and other notable charts. The album's proceeds continue to raise money for Save the Children, a worthy international non-profit to which Kevin lends ongoing support and is an Artist Ambassador.
Kevin actively supports many other organizations as part of his philanthropic goals. In 2014, he demonstrated the heights to which he was prepared to go by joining fellow actor Iain Robertson and chef Guy Cowan in braving the elements to climb Ben Nevis, Scotland's highest peak, while raising funds for the Scottish Cot Death Trust. Kevin also serves as Ambassador for Cahonas Scotland, a male cancer awareness charity.
Here at Kevin McKidd Online we invite you to journey through our pages and deepen your knowledge of this talented, creative chameleon. Join in the discussion by registering at the Forum, follow KMKO on Twitter and Facebook, or simply drop us a line via our Contact page.
