If you read my post I defined the terms for use there, not really the same as the words mean generally. There were just four basic stages. Using the word beginner, or any other word, only means what you say it means. Call red blue, it's still red.
So what I said was, he is between the second and third stages, first being worst, fourth being best.
Like on a scale from 1-10 with 1 being the greenest newbie and 10 being the best pk'er ever, what I said put him at five or six. I stand by that, though like I said in the initial post I haven't seen as much of him as others. I'd be willing to go to seven, on this new scale, but not higher. That's my opinion.
> You didn't just say he wasn't elite, you said he was somewhere between beginner and skilled, which is a discredit to his skill. He's skilled. It's hard to think of someone as being "elite," because 1. you can basically kill anyone you want on CF if you're determined enough and 2. there are only a small handful of the actually "elites" that are really, really hard to kill and take alot of patience and quiet determination, but I'd have to disagree with you and say the majority of the players (that I saw) have skills.

Anyway, Agorinth is certainly not a beginner. Cloak it if you want, but you were taking a cheap shot at him with your post much like Mendwhatever the bard did a while back, saying he is-nothing-without-his-cheap-unbalanced-cabal-skills.
