Insufficient ram, p-ata hard disk, retarded cpu, giant ping times, "Bill's OS" or just an inabillity to climb the gentle slope of Trem's learning curve. Excuses aplenty for my lack of "pwngxor"-ness (C&C RA/RA:CS/RA:AM another story. BRING IT ON!)
Anyway, here's my Trem experience "in-a-nut-shell"
-r-admin my cousin (Is he downloading worth-(while/less)) !data!?
--If he is then r-admin "Shut down (cousins) computer"
--if not, Trem.
--search servers... sort by # players
--select lowest ping server where players <3>
--Spawn Dretch.
Anyway, after getting this far, all's good. (playing against 1/2 players is cool as a newbie)

I'll leave it there and continue where I was supposed to start & end..
I joined a game with, loads of players (despite my "rule" of 2/3 max per team while learning Trem.)
Alien, as per usual. It was that level with the corridoor seperating the teams, With the abyss by each base, and the high celing in the middle (which is where newcommers spectate). "I know this level" I thought to myself. It WAS that map BUT, extended somewhat.
Off I went as a dretch, against Hs3 (carefull to wallwalk as not to get in the way of goons/tyrants). After my dretch acrobatic show I was finally killed (by those flying purple bullets... Pulse rifle?)
After respawning UNDER the default base, I set off, jump-wallwalking (as dretch yet again), "towards" the enemy. I went down a dead-end, on my return (Which is what this post is all about) I encountered the familliar, comforting "puuuhrr" of a Granger. What completely threw me (while simultaneously giving me courage against these bs- lucy/pulse.r opponents) Was this Granger's "silent" reasurance (I say silent as there was no "chat" or even "teamspeak", just that puuhrrrh) He looked at me, purring, then looking towards a passage, looking back at me, then to the passage again.. No "T" key or "Y" key needed, this Granger was showing me the way, leaving his concearn of the onslaught of s3BS..H aside, to assist a newbie.
WITHOUT PATRONISATION, COMPLETELY SILENT.
Thank you CU|ams
