Over the past month or 2 I have noticed a decline in cool people activeness, and an influx of noobs and pollacks. And frankly, I'm really tired of it. Every time I look for people recently I am lucky to find maybe 1 or 2 skilled clan members.. ie AA, NT, ZR, OPP, Zubs. The only servers I get a chance to play on now are D*S, EBSF and |KOR|, all of which are filled with a bunch of morons.
Where did everyone go?
-
getting close to finals for college.
-
I've noticed the same sad cycle. =/
Where did the fun clans to scrim go? Trem needs more skilled clans. -.-
getting close to finals for college.
Oh..........that could explain some of it.
-
NT has been fairly active I'd say. Usually at least one time in the day when we have like 6 members on.
AA sometimes has like 5 on, but usually I only see 2 or 3.
Zubs is pretty inactive, barely ever see even one on.
WaR, twofacedrat, and Mars are on often for OPP, and some other people like Magic.
Z|R isn't really active, but sometimes they've got people on.
We've had a couple games, Z|R and OPP, plus others, but we really could use more skilled clans. The amount of players who'd fit the memberlist of that is rather lacking at the moment. Could maybe form 1 "skilled" clan out of all of it.
-
Way to many euro players out there. If you look at the server. More than half are euro. We need more North American players. Or for an new clan of all the active good clans to just make one mega clan. So we can get a decent scrim. Insted of getting smigits of euro scrims that play lagged.

Play at Fragify with me and {O#} and CU|; best players in Tremulous.

QFT.
Anyways, is it really that bad nowadays? I wonder if the 2nd (Whatever it is) Zilla crash actually did real damage this time...
-
I uninstalled Tremulous a while back so I really don't know the situation right now. But what you mentioned is one of the reasons I quit, Tremulous just got boring to me. The only other guy I know that uninstalled was AppleJuice, or atleast he told me he was going to.
As for the "Play at Fragify with {O#} and CU|; best players in Tremulous." This is all I can say, "laff".
-
Meh, AppleJuice was playing yesterday...
EDIT: Oooh, just looked at the serverlist, found these at the same time:

In general I'd say that interest in Tremulous amongst its skilled core has gone down considerably. I can list on two hands the polite, skilled players I know that played regularly a year ago and still play regularly today (I don't count myself in that count, you can try to guess why :P).
This can be expected from a game which has basically totally relied on its own community to generate steam over the past year. Actually, I'm quite impressed with how well this community has maintained, promoted, and improved the game considering its shortage of leadership and surplus of immaturity. Props to you guys that are out there creating content, hosting servers, and being civil.
Tremulous is still a fun game for me and it will be as long as there are servers up with reasonable settings where known players can congregate for good games. I also really enjoy helping out the occasional good-natured noob I run into - that these guys still exist is a good sign for the game.
To sum up: people have been saying that the Tremulous playerbase is dying for over a year now. The influx of new players is lower and, sure, some of our old friends stopped playing, but get over it - you'll know this game is dead when you post an OP like this and nobody responds.

If this game is so boring and this community so pathetic, then what in the fucks name are you doing here. Get out and scurry off back to whatever insygnificant rock you crawled under from just to enlighten us with your fantasies. People like you are exactly the kind of people a game like Tremulous doesn't need, you foul miscreants.

This is exactly why I don't play nor post anymore, so your post was redundant, and only serves to show how much of a loser you are.
Did someone mention your mother again? You're way too sensitive for your own good, dear.

Relax, this are our future generation of tremulous players. I found out that many of them are 13 and below. The 14s, 15s, and 16s and counting are starting to pick up the skills. The young ones do not read the forums adn do not think first before they act. They also are not bothered to learn! I told a young one many times to look up for a headshot with a dretch to get more damage, but he persistently does a dretch jump bite(only 48 damage) jeez...
And in ESD he rushes straight to the enemy base with a tyrant, straight into the rets adn the luci spams-what sort of planning is that? ???
-
rofl...

see how pathetic this game's community has become
You're totally right!
For proof, just look at how quickly some pathetic member of the Tremulous community turned this once-civilized thread into an image-macro-laced flame war!
Oh, wait...

+comment: You are one srs tuff gui aren't you
Fuck YEA! LMFAO
Anyway, the decline of good players is sort of sad, but I think it kinda goes in phases. A few of the old ones will eventually be back, but some newer ones will also show up eventually. It's down times like this that make Tremulous playable for me. Halo died for me when everyone became a god at the game, and I hadn't played in a while, couldn't even practice to get back into the game.... I'd spawn and BAM dead.
Basically, this is my shot at improving before being swarmed by the Tremulous elite again.
-

I'd consider myself young. I can spell "and", too. Don't assume so much.

Body plays a couple hours every couple of days, because he's a busy dude. Also, he just got a Linux laptop I believe and he's got shit to take care of as well as settling that out.
Still kicks ass on a really awesome level though.

Pretty sure Mars = DOTS
As far as I know that's his only other name. But then again, I never really knew BodyOrgan.

He used to go around as [$]mores when he was in that clan too I believe.

I stop in to look at what Trem servers are active and such, but I often get tired of server-hopping and then go play another game. But I do try every day...
-
What the hell do we need skilled players for? The only thing we need is polite, cool people. And AFAIK, there are plenty of those.
I never counted myself as good, maybe that makes it easier for me to havea fun time on a server?
Or maybe it is becausr I play on europe servers..
Seriously, just look around. Atleast 70% of the people are at least decent people. and a bit less of them are really cool, but they are around, there is hope.
I don't understand what you're going on about, geez. Stick your noses out of the sky and play with those nice, thankful noobs.
Atleast, teaching the game to someone is just as fun, and a little less selfish than your elitist club here.
I refuse to think that you are right, and everyone is an asshole.
-
What the hell do we need skilled players for?
To get better at the game?
Perhaps?
You are right, there are many euro 13 year olds who seem "cool." Way too many. So many this game is losing its competitiveness.
But I play the game to play, not to socialize with "cool noobs."
If I wanted to socialize with noobs who seem "nice enough" I would go to SST.
-
Hmm, start mapping! It gets a little competitive (although not that much).
-
What's the difference between a European 13 year old and an American 13 year old? I'm just wondering since two different people seem to specifically point out European kids as being 'bad'. Anyone care to fill me in on this?
-
From experience I have in games (including trem)
'Skilled'=asshole
average=nice guy
There are always exceptions, but when you average them out, this is what it breaks down with.
And lava, its just plain bigotry, thats it.

Edit: Hell, apple is around still. you game apple? Maybe jit will clanhop over for a week until we get some real players!
-

Exactly it. Guess I'm just not a fan of Euros, but when you also add being a noob + a tyke, that makes it 3 strikes...
-

What other game?
What servers do you play, and what time of day, (assuming that you will also give some idea of your location of reference to GMT)? I do the same thing, when I'm playing.
@Smokey: I must have missed something. Didn't you just have your reunion tour last month? Are you getting the band back together again? Now I hafta go read your other thread...

We need Henners again. My only problem with these euro kids is that ruin the balence of clans. Also the language barrier. But in general there alright, some flame but there probably about 9.

The prototypical Euro kid cheats in soccer by acting hurt when he really isn't in order to get penalties called. Apply that concept to Trem and there's your answer. ;)

The prototypical American kid has no idea what soccer is and thinks you play it by wearing spandex while touching other men in spandex who are all trying to pick up the ball with their hands.

I'm sad that you don't consider me good (it's Rep)

An opinion I've thought about more than once is that the average human is relatively stupid.
I'd be a whole species of stupid if I didn't say I was amongst those who fall into that mean category.
Also, what Atom Eve said about it better to be the asshole than the idiot sounds right to me. If you're proven to be an asshole, I wouldn't think you'd be nearly as ashamed as if you're proven to be an idiot. Plus, being an asshole can be fun. :angel:

Well I'm not sure about idols, especially since I've been in 3 out of the 5 clans I listed.. but I guess that makes sense. I just don't remember the clan scene being so ded last year.

From experience I have in games (including trem)
'Skilled'=asshole
average=nice guy
Thats just silly.
Asshole = treat people like shit.
Nice Guy = not treat people like shit.
Assholes who suck are mocked, and so they tend to keep their head down until they get some skill, then the true asshole comes out. Go to a serious newb server, you'll see people who suck, but are slightly better than the others on the server, and that individual will be treating everyone like shit regardless of their actual skill level..
The prototypical American kid has no idea what soccer is and thinks you play it by wearing spandex while touching other men in spandex who are all trying to pick up the ball with their hands.
On a side note, you may be a little surprised to find out that Soccer is hugely popular in America among children, where there are very active leagues in every state. I'm one of the few people that I know that didn't play soccer as a kid, mostly cause I want nothing to do with that panzi euro trash sport!! :P
Ok, just kidding, I don't need a bunch of psychopathic soccer fans hunting me down, cause if their anything like American football fans you can't even joke about it >:) Soccer is quite popular over here though, not like the rest of the world obviously as the pro teams aren't followed, but lots and lots of kids leagues. It's probably just a matter of time.

You do know most 13 yolds do actually have hands and some hand-eye coordination.
To a certain point the 12-13 yold jokes are funny.
