Two Choices, Which One Should I Take?

Ok, as some of you may know, I am looking to join a serious clan for competitive play. The problem is, CAL matches are on saturdays, which are sundays for me because I am currently situated in Korea. Well the real problem is that I am not allowed to play on sundays and the school days due to my parents superstition that playing video games during the school schedule will take my focus off of school causing me to get terrible grades. This superstition is not true, and I know this for a fact because I've been playing behind their backs on school days and I've managed A's and B's so far. Now I have two choices


1.) Make a proposition that they should allow me to play on sundays and school days and that it wont hurt my schooling. Now if I go with this choice I will most likely have to tell my mom and dad that I have been playing on school days ever since they set this stupid rule (5th grade I think). If I do this, I will most likely get grounded off the computer for eternity because my dad HATES liers.


2.) Wait until I get back to the states, which is in about 5 months, and go solo in pubs which is terribly boring due to the lack of common sense in public games. I could possibly lose my interest in NS and I don't want that to happen because I love this game. It's happened to other games such as DoD and NS before, before 1.04 came out.

    well pubs DO leave some things to be desired, but i've been happy in pubs so far... and it really doesn't sound worth the risk to me... and if you're playing from korea, would you even have a good enough ping to play competitively with a clan located in the states or western europe or something?

    Yes, I ping around 160-250 on servers in the states. I rarely get 250 now ever since the big move to steam.

    still, if it were me, I wouldn't risk a big fight/losing the net for 5 months just because I want slightly more coordinated games of NS...

    also, I'm hella ping spoiled, I seldom join servers that I have a ping higher than 30 on =P I turn my nose up at lunixmonster because my ping is like SIXTY there *shudder* <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I almost can't stand pubbing anymore, enjoy it while it lasts.


    You never have to tell them you've been playing, just ask them and if they say no, tell them that you get to decide their rest home.

    I respect my mom. She works hard and comes home exhausted and still cooks dinner. She puts food on my plate and a bed to sleep in, the last thing I need to remind her of is that she is eventually going to a retirement home.

    Life is how you make it... I personally taught 2 newbies from the ground up ("How do you get a shotgun?") Last night... ended up having great fun with them. Keep a positive attitude, and turn the other cheek when something bad happens.

    As for the topic at hand... if you really wanted to play you could "cut a deal" with them... Say you show them your test scores and anything below a certian grade (I'd recommend at least a C for those harder classes) will net you a certian amount of time away from the PC. Just an idea...
