Trem is based on this game

[Sockem]

okay...i've been inactive for a month because a game called gloom. its like trem, and we need more players...us gloomers are sad because...gloom is dying...but if u guys start playing, we will be able to keep gloom above the water it's a long and complicated install (month for me) ...but it's worth it. NO SPAMMING NO SHITTY ADMINS KICKING YOU(HERM) (only 3 or 4 per server)  5 servers but not as much players   oh...and dont give up on installing gloom    http://www.planetgloom.com/

[Nux]

Why don't you and your gloom friends come to tremulous?

Just a thought.

EDIT: I am going to try gloom; I've known about gloom for a while and am interested to try it. Just stop the spam-marketing. This only requires one thread and it should really be in off topic; it's not about glooms relationship with tremulous, it's about gloom getting more players.

[GeneralScott]

It would really help if they had mac and linux versions. Although Trem is almost dead too.... Stop trying to steal players.

[DraZiLoX]

It's not just dying, it's dead!

Forget Tremulous. Play GLOOOOOM!

• Quake 2 engine instead of the outdated engine of Quake 3
• Only for Windows! No other operating systems supported!
• Mod of a commercial product instead of a standalone free game!
• Quake 2 no longer in stores!
• Much space on servers, no crowds tough up your life like in Tremulous!

And:

• Can I interest you for this 1st class condition 2nd hand car?

NO SPAMMING NO SHITTY ADMINS KICKING YOU(HERM)

Aww, did someone get kicked for being a jackass?

[Sockem]

gloom is not dead drazilox, there are no 12 year olds filling the spaces when the others have jobs. we play AWESOME matches on weekends     oh and zybork,
*quake 2 not in stores... GET THE DEMO OFF THE ENTERNET BITCH
*quake 2 engene bad? WE UPDATE GLOOM ENGENE YEARLY
*only available in windows...IF YOU TRY HARD AND ASK AROUND, U CAN GET IT ON LINUX TOO
~also, THERE ARE NO RUDE BITCHES LIKE zybork in gloom, and we are nice to eachother and know eachother... oh and we have Quake 3 gloom, so HA

[Pazuzu]

we are nice to eachother and know eachother

That's not hard if there are only two of you. OH SNAP!

[Sockem]

NO SPAMMING NO SHITTY ADMINS KICKING YOU(HERM)

Aww, did someone get kicked for being a jackass?

he kicked me for moving rc in X... SNAP

[Pazuzu]

moving rc in X

I rest my case.

[Sockem]

there are more of us than you think, pazuzu anyways, why is everyone on trem forums so crabby?

[Sockem]

moving rc in X

I rest my case.

it's not jackass to bring rc back to killwhored base when someone moves it to bunker

[DraZiLoX]

moving rc in X

I rest my case.

it's not jackass to bring rc back to killwhored base when someone moves it to bunker

But it's jackass to play at X server.

[Pazuzu]

there are more of us than you think, pazuzu

Sorry, sorry. I was obviously exaggerating a bit. There are really three of you.

[DraZiLoX]

Sorry, sorry. I was obviously exaggerating a bit. There are really three of you.

Or maybe even four! Nah, I'm just imagining.

[kharnov]

anyways, why is everyone on trem forums so crabby?

Fuck, I don't know. Maybe because you're trying to advertise a dead game on the forums for a game that we're trying to restore to glory. We're usually very hostile to advertisements. Look at that Red Eclipse thread.

Also, Gloom doesn't have these:

HEY, SOCKEM, YOUR SHIFT-KEY IS BLOCKED.

And, while you're calling me a “rude bitch”, I guess I have to return the favour and use swearwords myself. So why don't you just  the  up and  off?

I mean, come on, calling me A RUDE BITCH!!!11eleven is either a kind of humour I don't understand, or you are a complete idiot, in either way, something a guy like you propagates must be bad, so everybody is well advised to do the exact opposite, so, dump that shitty Q2-mod, and go for the real stuff, the one and only – Tremulous.

Because I don't have to try hard to get it on Linux, I only have to install it, and it runs. But maybe I am just somebody who simply wants to enjoy a good game, and not one of those nolifers who have nothing better to do than to hack an ancient game noone is interested in.

[Tremulant]

oh and we have Quake 3 gloom, so HA

Oh, nice, where can we get that?

[Pazuzu]

That probably has something to do with this:

it's a long and complicated install (month for me)

A month to install... And some people say Steam makes gaming needlessly complicated.

Hello Sockem and welcome to the tremulous community.

You may have noticed that many here do not approve of your marketing methods. In case you did not get the message I think this quote from Rocinante describes the collective sentiment to what you are doing rather eloquently:

This cantankerous old fuck doesn't care, so turn down your goddamned music and get off of my lawn.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out and have a nice day.

Best Regards,

janev
cantankerous old fuck and narcissist extraordinaire

And don't forget that there is still the option to tar and feather him

[vcxzet]

I like how tremulous devs were making fun of gloom devs with the "gloom 2 soon" image.
karma is a bitch?

[Qrntz]

karma is a bitch?

Everything is a nail once you got the hammer.
OP, gtfo.

Sure Gloom is not as flashy as newer games but for sheer gameplay and fun, i can tell you nothing quite comes close. Maybe it seems odd to plug the game so shamelessly, but it's a crime that such a beautiful game is dying simply because people don't know about it, or aren't willing to give an old game a chance... just my 2 cents.

You just couldn't say no to these puppy Breeder eyes, could you:

 

oh and it does NOT take a MONTH to install

For a second there I thought you got Gloom confused with Tremulous.
that thing does kind of look like a granger.  robot granger.

[Tremulant]

Go on then, feel free to link to linux versions and "Quake 3 gloom" whenever you like.

[SirFrancisBacon]

That's funny because back in 2003 when i played gloom i thought it was on the verge of dying. Then i saw a website that was like 'omg gloom in the q3 engine' but that kinda never happened and a few years later a friend tipped me off on good old here trem - that was a really nice follow up to gloom

[CreatureofHell]

oh and it does NOT take a MONTH to install 

It took *HIM* a month to install it. I think that says something.

[Sockem]

at least i dont play aussie
