« on: September 19, 2005, 01:46:42 PM »

Well, i havent been on any Lunixmonster servers or even the forums for quite a while, and for good reason. I have just finished taking care of some paperwork formalities and am now starting my steamfitters trade. The downside, is i have had to uninstall steam from my computer in doing so. No, not because anyone told me to, but for my own career sake, i need to be able to focus on getting my tickets before i have a chance to take a break. I did fine in school but i protested my homework while in my finaly 3 years of highschool, i graduated, but with a C average, in which justified my own lil protest but im not gonna start with that, lol, not again :wacko:  .....In order for me to be able to do any well in my life, i have to get this trade, and i will get this trade, but monkeys in-game apperance will be gone for a few years.


To Lighting Blue, Admins, and Reserved Slot of the LunixMonster.....


  I've had a blast playing so many times with you guys, so many memories, thank you all for putting up with me while i try to go to you WP  ^_^  ..........Thank You Admins for letting that beauty of a Reserve Slot stay on top of my head, and Thank you Lighting Blue for letting me join an awesome community.


You all kept this monkey sane when he needed to be cheked in......


I lost my mother to cancer 2 years ago, and playing with you mosters online helped me in more ways than you guys may think, and i will never forget that......


....ever.

  .........Goodluck, Goodhunting, everyone here kicks @$$!!!!!!!!!!!!


Goodbye, and Thank you ALL

General / no more monkey lag?!?!?

« on: July 09, 2005, 01:32:26 PM »

well, as most of you know, i get some rather large ping spikes when im in game. The other day, my friend came over and we had a few others over too and threw a LAN party, and wouldn't ya know it,i dont own a router. My friend on the other hand, does, and as soon as my internet got plugged into that lil beauty i never saw ONE lag spike while on steam, or GW, which means im out today to get a router, so monkey can get his commanding skills back and play without lag, FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

General / Tourney?

« on: May 14, 2005, 03:28:08 AM »

Lets say we have a tournament. Admins split up one by one and choose even teams, from their perspective, since most admins have picked up on regulars playing habits, and we have say a week of matches with a big finale?

Perhaps at the start of a game, a 5- 10 min hault in the start to discuss a stragegy, then go all out till you win. Just thinking that this is a good way to have some great competitive matches, and boost moral around the server, as of late i've noticed many people more edgy and irritable, possibly due to the season changing but none the less i wont divulge into something that clearly isnt my buisness.

I know this would be something that would probably need alot of planning before hand but i think it would be great, and im more than willing to help out in any way possible.

Since this would be organized on the admins and our time, with how much we play in the server or contribute to the forums or irc, ect, im not expecting even many replys to this lol. I bring this up because i think we'd have some very memorable matches with the people we have on this server, learn some new strats that we can use in regular matches. I'm just throwing a thought out there, wondering what everyone else thinks of this idea?

General / Charge or Seige

« on: May 12, 2005, 08:46:26 PM »

Marine commanders have the task of the utmost importance, so why can you sometimes decide on sending us soldiers in guns blazing, then if a marine or 2 gets killed, call us back and start a seige?

I know this sounds a little odd, but i think its a big part in why everyone is in a lil marine winning slump as of late. Depending on our upgrades and if phase tech has been researched, if you, (the commander), order your marines to charge from base or whichever location they have gathered/grouped up, drop a phase and send us in full metal, you have to expect a few casualties in this kinda work. Ordering the now, " out of ammo, requesting meds marines", back to the phase gate to build the TF, gives the aliens the ultimate counter attack, where they can kill without retaliation. Very much so with their little addition of retaining health at a few clicks a second, regardless if DC's are dropped or not.

Knowing what you want to do to an active hive helps alot more than sending us in expecting us to shoot the hive and the hive only when its most probably past 5 minutes with one lerk and one fade, then/or start a seige and ask everyone to powerbuild, everything you drop structure wise.

Sending in Marines in an active hive with weapons 2 and armor 1 with half shooting the hive and the other half shooting any Kharra that appeared would have much more of a chance bringing it down, same as seiging down a hive by having 2 or 3 Marines building, with the rest of the team making a perimiter around the structures being built. Yes, turrets help out in a seige, especially when the soldiers are reloading, i find they tend to survive the fade attacks.

Medpacks and ammo packs are a definite must have in order to survive object with the Marines, especially with the gas from the lerks, and theres still some experienced commanders who dont drop meds or ammo at a time of taking down a hive, they end up having to save res for a seige due to low res flow as an example.

I'm not taking stabs at anyone's commanding style, we need to save enough res for meds and ammo on top of the structures that need to be dropped.

I did not base this on one person's decisions in the chair, i've done these things as a commander before, and not just once. Its seems like a habit that has the marines dumbfounded as of late. Obviously this is just my opinion and could have not one thing to do with the imbalance as of late, but i just found it odd that the more i thought of it the more it made sense. What do you soldiers think of it? Maniacal i am as usual, i ask for your Commanding / Grunt reply's.   ^_^

General / NS Addiction

« on: May 08, 2005, 04:04:06 AM »

Everyone has their own reason why they play NS, im curious as to what you love about the game that keep you playing almost day to day?

My reason is beacuse of the different species, Marines have a very different equipment and stratagies, and have to think on their toes more than, lets say, finding as many heads as you can with a sniper in CS.  The aliens because of their abilities and tecniques, more animalistic than other mods yet brutal at the same time, with some sneaking thrown in.  The battles are more strategic and the Commander aspect kicks royal kharra entrails

To me i find this to be much better than picking off zombies who waddle towards ya  ^_^

General / Squads

« on: March 29, 2005, 04:46:36 PM »

Since the Final arrived i've noticed that with all the alien and marines tweaks...there is no way in hell marines can win without going out in groups or if the comm uses squad teqs...

Why do you think the aliens seem so invulnerable now a days?...I see it as the marines need to go as a group or use squad tactics, there are alot of players still trying to ninja res nodes and pg's...*cough*....and are finidng it quite unsuccesful. However when marines move out as a group they last alot longer thanks to more area being seen and covered and their numbers take time to decrease..aliens dont like running into more than 2-3 rines one their own....the aliens are spreading out more during the game like they should and not sticking to one side of the map....and the movement/sens first chamber seems to baffle the marines somehow....

So...to all the Comms out there....i ask you....

Will you continue with your current strats and change things now and then just to see what happens?....Have or will you change your comm strat now?...if so...why?....im trying to work out squad movements on my comp right now for the map list on lunix...only got 2 maps done lol....so i wont be comming for awhile till i get a good enough strat...

Phasegates Ninjas and Nodes arent working anymore...WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?!?!?!?!                          :help:

General / Movement Start

« on: December 19, 2004, 01:57:56 PM »

More often i see MC's dropped at the start instead of the ritual DC always start. I wonder everyones thought on it, as i see others still wanting DC. Everyone knows defense chambers still have more reliability, but for a second hive just dropped under attack its helps ONE HEY HEY OF ALOT. Just wondering what everyone thinks about the MC starts, or what they like to see start instead ?

General / Gorge Based Decisions

« on: June 28, 2004, 01:36:17 PM »

When i am gorge i usually try to base what i drop on how the game's progressed. For instance we have 2 fades...1 hive..and another hive at 70%...with no chambers dropped...no protection outside or inside the hive...and i have lets say 80 res. Personally i'd lame the seige spots around the hives first and foremost so the marines can't get through them for a while. The other factor is the fades wanting chambers to live....and i could drop 3 or each no problem...but whats to stop the rines from getin a ninja through near the hive then?....thats where my problems come in lol....

My question to you is, when you gorge... do you have a plan to the gorge's building madness?....or do you just drop some chambers in the hive?..or do you listen to the evolved lifeforms...possibly take them as a factor before dropping something?

p.s.

not asking about resource towers or hives, just chambers.......

Mapping / New Map Idea ?¿?¿

« on: May 12, 2004, 05:54:11 PM »

General / Is It Just Me?

« on: February 04, 2004, 03:30:23 AM »

Unless my tactical eyes decieve me  :blink: ...i'm starting to see more than numerous amounts of CS playing stlyes from the nubs.....run and shoot...they all seemingly started NS with the release of 3.0...

Now would it be better if whatever game your coming from and entering Natural Selection for the first time...should you then have to have a certian amount of playtime on 2.01 before being able to join 3.0 servers...to get the basic knowledge of the game? :huh:

General / Would There Ever Be A Lunixmonster Clan?

« on: January 28, 2004, 04:09:33 AM »

I'm not the clan type..never have been and probably never will...but as i see the numbers slowly gain on Lunixmonster and the people joining the server i cant help wonder if there would ever be a clan formed...in which case if there ever was...hopefully the server and forums will still be public :huh: .......


(see what happens at 3 in the morning with no coffee and no way to fall asleep... :blink: )

« on: January 22, 2004, 07:11:47 PM »

This is directed to all the people who complain about people leaving the server at the end of the game and the map change. Well, i have no choice and have done so almost everytime because if i stay i get SteaMRolleD and half life launcher fails and i have to restart the demon.....i know its a steam problem and i have to wait for that (hopefully 3.0 wont hate me :blink: )..but i just wanted you observers who see this know that i have to in order to play easier and not restart my computer every map
