Goldfish has more or less stopped comming, mostly because of a nub who kept flaming him for entirely no reason. Goldfish left, nub kept flaming, Owl kicked him, nub returned and kept flaming, nub was bant. Goldfish still isn't comming though. *sigh*
Niteowl makes for a good comm too, except for one vital weakness: He focuses more on entertaining his rines than on winning the game. While you can win a game and still be bored, being bored while losing is far more common. And while Niteowl's "build PG in/close to hive and have The Big Battle Of The Much Slaughtering On Both Sides"-tactic is certainly wholesome fun for the whole family, it is a little more prone to failure than the classic "build TF outside hive, siege the crap out of 'em". And we all know that the interval between "ok, rines have lost" and the last IP being destroyed is far too long, and that the inbetween is usually relatively boring (classic dialogue: "Oh c'mon aliens, just kill us." "Then stop resisting, dammit!"). Piece of advice: Either strike a better balance between fun and winning, or adopt the IP spam tactic: Instead of building more turrets or handing out a few hmgs when you've pretty much lost anyway, try building lots of IPs. Then watch "The Fun Last Stand Of The Giggling". Still remember our last stand in Computer Lab, Lightning Blue? How many IPs did we reach? Eleven?
And a hearty "omghi2u", Legionnaired. Hope to see you on the server when I return.
