Title: I rock!!
Post by: Captain Bob on July 12, 2007, 09:36:00 am
lol

i had this great game earlier, under a different nmae

ya I rocked the house in that game

post l33t pictures here if you can beat my record

The Stupid Parody "lol loads of kills = l33t" pict was a team effort between Captain Bob, MaraFeeder, and Head Hunter. It is not intended to offend anyone but the people who think that kills > all for determining l33tness. Trem is like Golf: The fewer points you take winning, the better.

Well, judging as one of your opponents names has "feeder" in it, I would say they weren't exactly competitive players, they probably lost the map they had that showed them were their mouse was.

I am not saying a score of 179 isn't good, but you also had a significant ping advantage over one of the players.

Looks to me it was just alot of n00bs trying to play and you got lucky, if I was getting owned by a n00b and he had that many kills and I was still at zero, I would just leave server and save myself.  w/e good luck with that score.

I don't think ping would have made a difference...lol, unless a lot of humans left immediately before this screenie, each of those guys died about 85 times.

Well, I wouldn't go that far. If you're teammates have much higher kill-scores than you, that doesn't make you the best player (though if you were the builder who saved the team from losing, then you might just be).

The most 1337 players are the very good players who regularly challenge themselves by facing players at their level.

I've found out that hiding from noobs is much more fun than just killing them. Evolve to basilisk and hide. Occasionally scare the crap out of them by falling on their head and killing them soon after. Really, it's a lot more fun than killwhoring.
You can tell they're jumping out of their pants when they start shooting in random directions.

There was a locust (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locust), but he got bored and jumped off leaving some genetic material behind. If you listen very carefully, you can still hear the locus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locus_%28genetics%29) for the locusts bored-gene complain about lack of entertainment.

This was made in direct parody of those pics, to try to illustrate the point that they're really pretty stupid when you think about it -- after all, anyone can set one up.

I was figuring it'd be pretty much evident that it was, in fact, staged and not a real game -- sadly, judging by the vast majority of responses, it doesn't look like I made it obvious enough. :-\

I'd hoped to get really elaborate with it, but there were some issues with the main picture, and in the long run, the only really usable part was that that I show here.

The kills were gained by me sitting, as a dretch, over the telenode, where the humies spawned and were pretty much instantly killed, all the way up to 180 (179 was brought into existance by the 1 death by suicide).

I spawned as Adv. Granger the last time, to kill the telenode with, but I accidentally Readied too quickly, so that didn't work as I'd hoped.

The full picture, if it was made, would've been really interesting -- illuminated the center where the scores are (while making the rest of the field darker), displayed more text proclaiming my l33tness and the phailure of the 'noobs', and had a few other fascinating details.

So that's the story behind this pic. MaraFeeder contributed the vast majority of deaths; the other chap showed up late and only died a little in comparison.

Hope that those of you who got it really enjoyed it, and that any of you who didn't will now.

Post by: TinMan on July 15, 2007, 06:16:11 am
/kill or something that made you walk into a hole?

60 / 20 x 40 = 120
60 seconds / 20 seconds to suicide x 40 minutes = 120 deaths

Just place your only egg above some pit and spawn alot.

On a related note- have you noticed the 'fowl' misuse of words there? That isn't my mistake. That's how it's spelled in tremulous. For those who aren't aware, a 'fowl' is a type of bird. They mean to say 'foul'.

Nux with the numbers Tinman posted it turns out to be correct.
I wasnt going on the assumption that you were actually doing something as stupid as building an egg over a hole or whatever it is your secret is.
Title: I rock!!
Post by: Nux on July 15, 2007, 08:22:01 pm
The 'numbers that tinman posted' are made under the assumption that he is using /kill and has to wait 20 seconds. n00b pl0x has already suggested that this is not the case-

Quote from: "n00b pl0x"
..it disappoints me that tin isnt smart enough to figure it out.


-and so I was offering my suggestion for a faster way of racking up high-negative scores.

His aim is to rack up as many suicides as possible. In this regard I wouldn't call the suggestion I made as 'stupid', but in fact very effective. Why make an assumption against such a method? I see it as far more likely that you overlooked such a method.

Title: I rock!!
Post by: Eeeew Spiders on July 16, 2007, 02:41:18 am
I think it's faster when you build an egg next/over a tesla. The question is, how to get it there without changing teams when noone else is in the game (you need to build egg before the tesla is placed) and to get to that stage without changing server values.
Same applies actually to Nux' hanging egg.

teslas don't give negative kills. you can build s1 eggs that will drop you into "the wrong place" on arachnid2, meepb2 (maybe 1 as well), and huma...hamu....hamuna...dasprid's egypt map thingy.

I think it just stuck, since "fowl", which can refer to a bird like a duck (which can fly pretty dang well) is usually thought of as referring to a bird like a chicken (which may be able to fly the coop, but usually has clipped wings). So the idea of falling "fowl" to gravity is somewhat comical, like a bird that can't fly. And actually, the phrase should be more something like "Nux fell afoul of gravity." Anyway, I chuckle every time I see that death message.
Title: I rock!!
Post by: Nux on July 16, 2007, 01:14:14 pm
That might be why it was left in. Though this isn't so obvious, since- as you quite rightly pointed out -not all fowls have trouble flying. If it is intentional and/or well known, then there is no problem. I merely point it out in case it was an error that's been missed.

Quote from: "dictionary.com"
fall foul/afoul
1. Nautical To collide. Used of vessels.
2. To clash: fell foul of the law.


As with many idioms, alternate spelling and pronuciation can become attached to a phrase. In this example, both have become accepted forms.

On a final note, I'd like to apologize for the lengths I manage to draw tiny points into upon occasion.
