Cannon_Fodder

I have never seen you in a tank on Nepenthe, Omnipotent's Minus-Tank Me Up yes, but nowhere else. If no, great I have to look out for Flitter, Cannon, Dingy, AND Penty in tanks. Penty hasn't played much on Nep since you got serious about playing. You'll know for sure when he's around. If you want to really rile him up use the base tank on Artic to defend the base versus win back back the primary.

So now we know that novice is the new target!

If you want you can think of me as your dad when we play seeing as I'm older than he is. I'm sure you'd stomp your dad the same way you stomp me if he gave you the chance!

Lil Bush is doing well! Speaking from experience it was a very short window of time when my kids were willing to play with dad and it took very little additional time for them to start kicking my butt. If UT3 ever comes out I suspect they will join in again at least for a little while. Right now they just shake their heads at me for still playing the same old game.

Some times I'd just like to skin my son alive.... He knew I'd rushed home for the scrim and he saw me waiting to join and inspite of these obviously clues he decided to do a major download while I was trying to play!!!!!! At least I have a reason for the bad response versus poor Tek who is in never never land hoping Mediacom will get their act together. And it was just a scrim versus a match. Sorry guys.

sniff... sniff, sniff

Yeah, there were some Manta stealers on for sure.

Thanks for taking the time to check this out! I didn't notice any bugs but this version is set up a bit different with 2 side nodes from each side being connected to the key wide open center node like you see Arctic Stronghold configured some times which usually turns into super marathons. I don't remember a Levi on this map before either. It's a nice change to fool with for a while but I don't see this one as a long term keeper.

Thanks for taking the time to check this out!

I can't remember the name either. I asked you to put it up some time back when you were asking for suggestions. At the time you found it but you said there were some lighting problems or something and you didn't want to put it up. The center node was located in the center of a bridge protected on each side by a high chain link fence so you could attack it only from the ends. I tried looking under old topics but couldn't find anything.

Are you taking non-map requests? If so, I've got one... is there a way to avoid the team stackage? I know, "whine whine whine", but it's a problem. It seems like the majority of the time, I see at least 3 more GC on one side than the other. Perhaps they all have their default team side set from prior TWL matches, and forgot to take them off? Hey, maybe that's it... could you disable the preferred team option in pub games? It seems to me like you could solve your problems by just re-joining GC!

I think it was Quake I used to try to play on line where you just about had to stick to sniping weapons as anything that forced the screen to change quickly (like a chain gun firing) lagged down the response dismally. I remember reading a post about this once about how it improved your overall playing skill.

My current truck is the first vehicle I've owned with an hours of use counter. It does freak me out or more like depress me every time I check it. For the most part I drive pretty fast but the hours keep counting even when you are sitting still so on average for the driving I do it works out to about 30 miles/hour (48 kilometers/hour for Dark ). I got the truck right around the time UT2K4 came out. I may have spent 800+ hours playing but I've spent more than twice that much time sitting behind the wheel of my truck...

Yes, I do heal Mantas and Raptors slightly more than half. That way the Raptor can take one Avril hit and the Manta won't blow up the first time you scrape something. Tanks just take too long to heal especially by yourself and you don't have enough plasma anyway. Thanks Bush. I was thinking maybe what I was doing didn't make sense.

Yes, but then you are out of the game during that time which is part of why you beat up unoccupied vehicles to start with.

Very often the other team will beat up vehicles and, particularly while pubbing, other players will stay away from these smoking vehicles as they are unwilling to heal or use them effectively taking that vehicle out of the game. Whenever I see a tank like that I jump in and find a close wall or tree and fire point blank which of course takes out the tank. I figure I'll immediately respawn and the tank will be back whole in 16 seconds versus sitting there unused. Does this count as a suicide? I suspect the answer is yes. I didn't even know how to set up a suicide key until I started into TWL with you guys but I notice my stats show a high percentage of suicides. Also, does playing like this make sense? It must hurt my stats but I've always been more interested in winning games than personal stats. Thanks!

I hadn't looked for a while. I'm up to 817 hours... That's like a 40 hr/wk job for over 20 weeks! At least this is the only game I really seriously play or I'd totally feel like I was gaming my life away!

You don't want mine! I still play with the track ball you abandoned (thumb ball) and select weapons with a mouse wheel. I tried a mouse for a while but you know how us seriously old guys get set in their ways. My typing skills just aren't up to doing stuff like key binding which is really pretty funny considering I spent 15 years typing technical test reports. I always said that I type as fast as I think!

I think the question is more UT or significant female!

I think Flitter has made it clear he wants more than money and no one has offered to take over the associated work. Also considering only 5 people showed up for Wentz's suggested practice on Tuesday we are probably short on putting together a team.

Well, we didn't have enough to practice last evening. I'm wondering if we would have had a better response if time and date was requested as part of a new topic?

I should be able to make it. Time is running out for Temerity unless we get Flitter some $$$ right?

The next step is to sign up for TWL! Welcome!

Sorry, old age again. Primus is definitely playing without a tag. What you guys are playing and having fun without me? Waaaaa I think Bush pretty much hit it on the head here. Alas... we are leaderless. My wheel chair must be in better shape than Primus's. We are really out of time sync. Hwarrior plays very early if at all. Others are scattered. It was slow at work today and there was actually some decent play on Nepenthe about mid day for a while.

It's not like everyone that is posting in there now is a current GC member and if it helps him decide... And yes, a saw the smillie. Really? Who ain't a member in there? Penty is good to go so it ain't him (he's just a supreme commander now...) you're talkin bout willis. -Fk I didn't think Lex, Wentz or Primus were currently paid up as they aren't pubbing with a /-=GC=-/ tag at all that I've seen. When I tried to check the link to: http://www.gamrs.co/htmlgc/members.shtml isn't working so I couldn't verify there. Of course this is probably just another case of me not really understanding the ins and outs of GC...
