I am so goddamn pissed off!
« on: October 06, 2006, 09:43:00 pm »
Okay, i was playing me a nice game of trem, after a frustrating row of games lost because of unsucsessful basemoves by me.

we are playing nexus6, and i abit into the game, i realize that the base needs tightening up.

so, i grab a ckit, and get up a solid, effectice tyrant-slayer-wall-of-lead, just before- after being fed to fatness, AND stage 3, the aliens rush with tyrants.

for awhile, we hold the storm, and i'm not sure we really would have lost at all, if we had managed to push the balance abit to our favor.


well, so after awhile, my teammates (still s2) figure they are going to feed a little more.

they did (not suprisingly) die, and so they had to spawn. and just in the same moment, i decided to fetch a gun, and try to chase off something.

so, a player named zealot, bothered by the oh-so-long-spawn wait says something like this: WE NEED MOER SPAWNS!!!11

absentmindedly, i agree, there was only 1 spawn.

Zealot deconstructed a turret

Zealot is constructing a spawn

At this, i stopped paying attention, and, somewhere during chasing a goon (stupidly) with a lasgun, i die, and respawn to this "it-is-a-wonder-the-aliens-didnt-get-this-yet-base"



That's right, FIVE SPAWNS, and two pitiful turrets..

tops it all with zealot branding me noob, and arguing till i wish i could reach across the internet and tear his f**king head off.

well, at times like this, i remind myself: "it is only a game"

which helps, but what helps more is "i really hope he rots and dies and burns and fizzles and fries and screams and dies forever in hell"

that about rounds it off.

(i had to rant about this, preferably where people could see this, so where better than the tremulous forums?)

(i wouldnt really have reacted this way (NEVER) if i was not in a particulary foul mood.)

(and probably i would not have made this post either.)

(please dont mistake this for trolling or abusing, or being nerdedly angry and fixated at a game, since my mood (hopefully) is temorary.)

I do understand your frustration.
I've tried nicely explaining to people why an all tesl;a defense is bad, with the DC sticking out like a sore thumb. Then the all turrets at doors. none at reac defense. Then the 1 spawn 10+ players on each side base.
Then I gave up being nice about it and kick.
I do warn a few times before I start a kick vote, but I have no problems kicking someone when I'm right. (hence the reason the person gets kicked in less then 5 secs).
Just stay away from morons and play with people who understand the game, regardles of their skill level.
Yelling at team mates since 2006!

All teslas are good. When you are out of build points decon the def com. Teslas would serve as a baricade in this case

It happens to aliens too.

Some of them are really rather fond of egg farms.

This is all the fault of SST I'm sure :P

all teslas are bad unless the dc is hidden away from snipers, but usually all teslas r bad. and whats the point in haveing a defenceless base with only tesla barricades, a dretch could go in a kill loads of humans and all the non-working teslas.

Teslas are good.  There is never going to be a base that will last.  All bases are snipable.  The question is how long do you want it last.

I agree with everyone else.  You are not going to get a perfect team every time you play.  If its that much of a problem, either go to another server, or stop playing.

It happens to everyone, deal with it.

Just be comforted knowing that player is some spoiled pre-teen who probably won't make much out of himself. Then, when he directs messages at you, just answer with short, vague, self-richeous responses, like:

"lol."
"ok"
"mmm"
"gj"
"k"

etc. Eventually they just get pissed off and stop. Personally, I like just saying "lol" whenever the guy directs something at me. Repeat as necessary.

Same thing happened to me on SST server... except I got banned for a month (this was about an hoour ago). Some dude was convinced I had deconed reactor, when I hadn't.

Unfortunately, even though I didn't, the admin agreed with the dude, and banned me for a month.  :evil:

@ 1337 1

Oh yes, you agree with everyone, you hypocrite, even when so many posts contradict.

And i deal with it. i deal with it by ranting on the forums.

@ Rippy

Yeah, that sounds like a good way to set him off, and make him leave, but when i get such inadept, rude, pointlessly excisting noobs on my team, i want them out immediately.

*sigh* i wish i had your patience.

On second thoughts, i have your kind of patience, just not then, and not now either.

@ Vcxzet

What's wrong with blue? i had no problem reading it, and i think it lent a kind of weight to the post, making it more meaningful and effective, in spite of the typos.

Lol. @ TopiccreatorpersonWhat'syerfather.
Goodjob at keeping cool about it. I feel like I would have had a much worse reaction if it happened 2 me. Well done! :wink:
@Teslacoildiscuss(t)ers
Teslas are usually bad. Snipe the DC and bam! you got yerself an alien invasion. But they DO have good sides too,and i know it since i usually play aliens xD
They stop the maras from getting to reactor if set up well. Spread around and standing singular = STUPID. As some of you already probably have noticed, teslas (not telsas) kind of REPEL the aliens. that means they cannot be jumped over with mara or anything smaller. If they are set together as a barricade, they CAN be useful as one. BUT: There is almost NEVER a spot where aliens cannot find a way to snipe DC, or reactor. There is ALWAYS one of the two snipable. If I ever had the BP and the time, My tesla setup would be this:

 :defcomp: Somewhere in corner or something. i'll find a nice spot.


Then:  _________----------_________
-------------------- :turret:  :turret:  :turret:  :turret:
-------------------- :tesla:  :tesla:  :tesla:  :tesla:


_ = wall
- = nothing
Or something like that.
Then when tyrants attack, they get zapped AND shot, and go quite quickly, actually. Adv goons still can snipe, but hummies can jump over turrets and deal with those wit some teamwork. Maras wont survive this. Nor would anything smaller. The only thing needed would be some guys standing guard at base for when the adv goons (or smart/strong maras/tyrants) show up. Seems prety good to me! just need to see it in action tough..... Drat! if it really is as good as i think, Aliens won't play as fun as it used to!  :o


Lol  :D

turrets/teslas do block each other. Despite teslas being taller this combination:  

:tesla:  :turret:  :tyrant:  

sees only the turret killing the tyrant. The tesla cannot fire directly over the turret in front of it unless the tyrant does something stupid and tries to jump over the turret or go around to the side where both can 'see' him.

Simple solution. Kindly inform the guy building like an ass to stop. If he ignores you, call a vote. My brother (BeerBastard) and I do this and it works. Newb builders, LISTEN TO YOUR TEAMMATES. Our building is usually good enough that our team likes us, and will help us vote out morons.

This often phails because:
1. Oftentimes, teammates don't vote because they're too busy doing other things
2. Some servers only call votekicks for all players, not teams, so the other team usually votes no to have the advantage of a retarded builder on the other team

I think what we really need is a professional, nice looking (html, not just text) Tremulous strategy guide, complete with lots of pictures. Include the .html file in the game download, put up a nice shiny link to it on the main page of the Trem site, and have it advertise itself sometimes when tutorial mode is on.

ex:
player dies for 3rd time in a row: displays message "Get better at Tremulous, press [key] to read the strategy guide!", and pressing the key closes Trem and opens the .html file.
player becomes builder class: displays message "Learn how all the structures work by reading the strategy guide (press [key])"

Something like that, that gets toggled along with tutorial mode, would be an immense help to the newbs who WANT to get better.
