Mapping / ns_richmond

« on: February 25, 2005, 05:52:52 AM »

Perhaps we could go as far as to put it in the rotation for, lets say 4-5 days and then poll on the forums whether to keep it?  It looks nice and is probably a bit of fun, but you can never tell until it has been played a number of timess by the same people in order to get the quirks of the map.  I would LOVE to play it though.

General / What do you do while you play NS?

« on: February 24, 2005, 10:51:29 PM »

I am always eating and playing with one hand.  BTW, don't let this go where I KNOW it's going to go, especially with playing NS with one and playing the meatstick with the other.

tbh I like it when grey talks.  I get sick of a bunch of guys getting all testosterony over a game sometimes.  (cough guilty cough cough)  :p   Anyway, just like females tend to smell good, their voices tend to be nice too.













Disclaimer:  In no way do I mean to harass any females that I have played with on NS.  No I am not a pervert.  I also do not mean to imply that any females that I have played with smell good.  They could in fact stink.  I am not a wierdo.  At least I don't whisper all the time like 2_8 or shout constantly like Nooblet.  


Whoa......just realized how old this thread is......

General / Rine/alien order join

« on: February 24, 2005, 10:40:01 PM »

I was just wondering how it would be recieved if a server change to make rines have the extra player in SMALL games, like 5 or less on a team.  For example, 4v.5 is actually 3 v. 5 and it's really hard to get something done as rines, because you simply don't have the firepower vs. hive/onos/fade, which is made worse by the fact that aliens get them faster, before rine upgrades can take affect due to the res system.  

In large games it doens't matter cuz rines are overpowered bastards.  :angry:  

So, what you guys think?


As always,

Peace.

I just joygasmed.   :blush:   More seriously though, when is this supposed to come out (the date without adding the 6-8 months later when it will come to fruition.)  




Also, since I mostly play aliens, I love the flashlight, but it will truly hurt ninjas.  I can't tell you how many times whole slews of aliens have walked by me without seeing me in a corner while a ninja a pg.  Would destroy a vital element of the game in my mind.  No more sg rush ftw.

General / How do you like yer NS?

« on: February 20, 2005, 08:06:14 PM »

Honestly, epic isn't truly epic, just slow death usually.  That said, I think the 30-40 minute would be the best seeing as how they would probaly have a few epics sprinkled in there.


On a more important note, I love Mr. Bill.  I think we should implant his seed into all the NSPLAYERs out there and seend them amoung the NS community to wreak havoc and joy and laughter and hilarity, but most of all, loses to all that oppose us.   :p


Peace all.

I am soooo very proud to be in the armory humping picture.  Really, tear in my eye.  


BTW, I have seen barney play one game as alien.  He was pretty damn good at skulk, something like 9-6.  Then he faded and proceeded to not die for rest of game while unlocking two locked hives, saving double, and demolishing the rine base.  IMO he shoulded be banned for haxoring, even though we know he's not.  It's just no fun when he plays.  (I was kidding about the ban...kinda.)

General / General Tips for NS

Here's a tip:  Stax with barney.  Gauranteed win.  I promise.  (I hope he breaks all the fingers on his mouse hand.)





(Very very very vey very very very badly.)






(Better yet, may they just fall off in his sleep.)

General / Why I love LunixMonster

« on: February 16, 2005, 08:07:51 PM »

I have seen a huge increase in my skill since I have been playing on LM.  I love seeing the same people day in and day out and shoot the breeze while playing.  DIE NOOBLET YOU BASTARD.  Ahem, anyway, Lunixmonster is the best server I have played on too date.  I sit for long stretches waiting for someone to quit so I can join.  The few times I do get impatient and venture out leave me completely disappointed.  I believe that the quality of the Classic gaming experience meltdown can be tied directly to CS and CO nublets. (Although CO is how most of us started if we haven't been playing since the beginning of time.)  Honestly though, I mostly love the comradery on the server.  BTW, everyone get rts cuz I'M WHORING THE HIVE.  Peace.

I agree.  Mr. Bill on team = loss but fun.  Almost always loses.  And if he comms, you may as well quit if it wasn't for the the humor factor.

General / Getting altair out of rotation?

« on: February 16, 2005, 11:00:38 AM »

Problems with altair:

Poorly spaced, therefore making the map seem overly large

Too many siege spots and choke points where aliens and larger life forms can be destoryed.

Nobody knows how to comm it.

If the map is not changed immediatly, half the server quits and really small games on really large maps not fun.  Once again a marine advantage.

It is difficult to get multiple hive up and protect them unless you go MC first, which limits the variability for the alien game.

Overall, games tend to be lame because nobody like the map and don't mind losing, as long as it is 15:01 into the game.

It sucks.

Boring.

Lame.

Too much res making it easy for rines to get early control and have large res pool.  Also, the map layout makes it difficult for aliens to respond to RTs under attack, especially if the marines are in groups.

And it's boring.

If anyone would like to add anything, I'm open to adding things which I have missed that are wrong with the map.  

Oh yeah, almost forgot to mention the pit of death at an alien hive giving marine a HUGE advantage when attacking it.

General / Getting altair out of rotation?

« on: February 13, 2005, 04:10:41 AM »

Was just wondering if altair could be removed from the rotation.  Everytime it comes up, it clears the server, even if there is an admin playing   .  I have yet to actually see anyone want to play it, so it just takes away from the game.    What you guys think?
