General / Squads

« on: March 30, 2005, 12:34:39 PM »

My main use for squads is: 1 for obs, 2 for arms lab and 5 for marines. 3 and 4 can go to other marines or extra observatories.

Bingo. I hardly ever give waypoints to Marines though, since no one ever goes to them.

Off Topic / Pros and Cons of Tongue Piercing

« on: March 29, 2005, 12:48:17 PM »

Don't do it. I think they just linked lip piercing to increase occurance of mouth cancer or something nasty like that.

Get a tatoo or something.

Meh, nowadays everything is linked to cancer.

That's not the reason I wouldn't get my tongue pierced. I had a cousin who had hers done and it got infected. You probably don't wanna hear how that ended up, cause it was pretty friggin gross.

Would you rather them quit? or sit bored in MS and knife everything?

I confess that I'm guilty of that sometimes.

I like electrification in 3.01 as well, but not as ballsy as Newborn's strat.

I usually do the same old build order:

IP
Armory
AL
Obs
Armor 1

Then I get 2 or so nodes, plop down a TF, and save til I can electrify them both. Keep expanding while you wait for them to electrify. As soon as you're on a steady res base, start upgrading like a fiend.

Usually ends with a shotty rush or a siege out. I'm not really one for the proto, myself, but the armory still needs to be upgraded for hamgees if you're trying a siege.

Oh no, not me. This is the beginning of a grudge until the end of time.

Generally on LM you can get away with medding the players you know that play well. Find out what the regs can use, make them use it.

IE giving Ebnar an HMG is a good thing for the marine team.
Giving me a GL is also a good thing.

Look at the top of the scoreboard, but also take into consideration other things. Like who is defending your nodes, who's building the stuff in base that everyone walked by, etc. It irks me when I'm at the top of the board, and I've been running all over being the comm's nodewhore, and I miss out on shotties or hamgees. Keep your reliable marines happy.

Oh, and HOLD YOUR NODES. That is absolutely key.

General / NS Revival?

« on: March 27, 2005, 12:37:56 PM »

I was away from NS for a loooong time, but I've been frequenting LM a ton now. I dunno if it was necessarily 3.0 that brought me back, but I don't get bored of NS after 20 minutes anymore. Which is nice.

Best picture of me that I have.

Hair's a good deal longer and my little chinbeard has spread to full facial coverage.

General / New Comming strategies?

I've seen a lot more Marine wins too. Seems like people are aiming better almost.
