Top 5 players in Trem.

[kevlarman]

Where's the builders? Anyone can spam pulse or Dragoon and be heralded as a 'good' player, but that 'good' player is nowhere without some decent builder(s) backing him up.
Therefore, the best Tremulous players are those who stay at the back and keep the base going so all you fragwhoring newbies claiming superiority can spam some more Pulse, or camp some more hallways with a Dragoon.

actually in most games these days a good dragoon can easily win the game without the humans ever seeing his base (in trem 1.1.0 anyway), but i think that a player can't be considered 'good' unless he is good at both building and combat.

What kind of builder are you talking about ? The builder who will try to support his team in the main objective (destroying alien base) with dynamic bases and outpost well placed and who could take a gun to defend the base himself in case of or .... The kind of builder who will only be happy with a useless bunker of 198865344 turrets ?

Dynamic bases and outposts are a sure thing to do if you want to lose the game. You just forfeit your coupon for a free Builder Beer. Next time you try to make a smartass remark, try to be smarter.

Keverman, that goon cant do a whole lot if a good builder is in place. Only thing that can screw it up is teammates

OMG we are not normal, we win 70% of our matches with dynamics bases and outpost as aliens and as human, and more than half of the team we regularly play start to copy us with using alien outpos EVERY rounds.

but you re right, we are nubs and other teams very dumb to copy us ...

Defiantly best Aussie, I'd love to see a trem world Tourney.

I think [A] wasn't talking about FFA games where you can't do shit because you won't get any backup, but about clan wars and stuff... and a sure thing is, even though it's harder to do as humans, dynamic bases and outposts rule.

Our regular scrims prove it.

the sad thing is, the people who are the best at killing bases (which is what wins games) dont get as hihg scores as others. i am sure they are out there, but they are not as well known as those who get high scores constantly.

Or building bases...  One of my pet peeves are the high kill folks that hide behind the corner and never voluntarily die to help the team.

Can't count the number of times I've taken a Tyrant on a one way trip to the armory/reactor to help the team win.  While the kill whores just sit back till it's safe.

I was talking about the people who had to know every inch of the damn game because they were playing against people who already knew every inch. In the days since standalone I might have only met the concentrated quality in a team comparable to then once.
Also these days still a lot of people go for killcount, even a lot of players mentioned as good or the best get judged by it. Back then it was never about kills. Games could end with the topkiller having less than 20 kills. Kills were a means to obtaining the weaponry needed to take out eggs/spawns, oms/reactors, grangers and builders.
 

I remember Cataclaw getting 200+ kills on SST.

Arsonide, Bajoran, Bt, Chamooze, Crylar, Cybernetsam, dzjepp, ectox, Edo, evil poop, Excalibur, FroggyQuim, Idle Wild, juice, Kai, kingping, Lava Croft, MajorPain, MiDiaN, Molog, Mutemode, Norfenstein, Orc, R1CH, Ratti, Ravyn, Salteh, Sandy, SharkDog, slux, Suddien, Supa, Survivor, Swie, sysrq, TerrorEast, Tyler, Vitae, Woo

These are the 'Ancient' players. Developers, betatesters etc. The ones I personally feared most back then were Norf and sysrq. But it was the fact that those people could play as an excellent team of which all members knew how everything worked which proved the most challenging.
I wish that challenge would return, these days i'm not so obliged to spend a lot of time learning and training trem anymore since the chances of getting a team which understands how we worked is rare. I hope it will return with 1.2 but I am not getting my hopes up since already a lot of those players left.

Also on the subject of the not so appreciated people, builders and basekillers are just as important as the soldiers of the team. Only divine players can win when their own base is down and the enemy's is up. As such this topic is moot, as i've stated far far back already. It is about an entire team, not a few players, with the teamwork consisting of backing up, recon, defense/offense and on occasion sacrificing yourself for the good of the team(mate).

[Lava Croft]

Survivor, you are making me feel very old, you bastard.

[Evlesoa]

evlesoa is the only good player
simply because he use my hax

Umm... wtf?

[LLJK]What?

Best player I've ever seen.

And i totally agree to this... LLJK What? is the BEST player ive ever seen, at S1 he owned tyrants... he was simply that good i guess... and if he goes chainer... its hell unleashed, because he almost never misses, could be aimbot but I guess not because most LLJK members are 1337

[n00b.pl0x.]

You say that like it's hard to take down some Tyrants with a good S1 human team.

It really isn't.

'specially with your hax, eh?

The base rifle has to be one of my favorite weapons in the game.  Nothing like putting a full clip into a tyrant who thinks he's safe at the end of a long hallway.

[Nux]

The best players are those who make the game more enjoyable for the rest.

[Raytray]

The best players are those who make the game more enjoyable for the rest.

As long as they make it full circle and the joy reaches all. IE: Not a group of griefers to make it enjoyable for the group but horrible to everyone else.

[Nux]

Ah, well when I said 'the rest' I meant all people, though this is perhaps a little optimistic. You're likely to get the odd player that will react very sorely to being killed easily. This is why I try to be nice generally, but focus mainly on those players I know well.

[Morx]

I say Bloody Demon gets kicked in.He got 230 once.His average score is 80.

[n00b pl0x]

hi i gud killwhore

put me on your list

[Nux]

hi i gud killwhore

put me on your list

Done.

[_Equilibrium_]

I say Bloody Demon gets kicked in.He got 230 once.His average score is 80.

that must mean he doesnt like killing bases. you don't help the team much if you dont attack the eggs or nodes.

[Rawr]

He's actually pretty good at it. Him and roth are the only two people to penetrate my SST Window room base on Nievus.

[_Equilibrium_]

i still hope his average is not 80. attack before aliens get trappers ffs.

[Dracone]

I used to be a killwhore. Then Smokey made me stop by making a thread (empty most likely) to kick me from Zilla if I didn't start doing better. Now I kill teh bases lolzotes.

[Yahoo]

lol mike linked me here, 4 posts down and it already depresses me.

In no order, and this is just for public matches only. Some people do much much better than others in clan matches. Also, North America only, I haven't seen enough Euro players to make a judgement on them.

BodyOrgan
Anger
Iabz
Some dude named "wat"

Couldn't think of a fifth person, and putting "wat" in there is a bit hard as I've only seen him in like 5+ games, I just know he owned.

Honestly, who really cares right now, Trem hasn't stopped yet. It's not how good you are now, it's how good you are when you're done that people are going to think of. "Man, that guy was good, but he sucks now." You never know how you'll turn out.

I'd have put Yahoo up there but I don't believe anyone's seen him for a good while so it wouldn't apply much to a more current list.

wat was the alias i used last time i played this game. <3

[Dracone]

Yeah, I came to that conclusion after a few people suggested that...

Fun games at BG...

[jit]

my top players would be:

tjw - teaching how to change brightness after playin the game for 2 weeks
St. Anger - skill/recruiting me in old sga and xil
Smokey - great clan leader and good player/taught me the game when i was back in killaz+
Tk - long and gone player from a year ago. greatest clan leader i've known
Blazeraid - koo guy,  great builder, good player
Yahoo - amazing luck and hax makeshim leet
K-otic - good player/fellow name changer-clan hopper
Paradox - great builder and taught me basics of game
Solilo - taught me how to build even if i still suck, good player
BodyOrgan - continues to rape ingame till this day
Dracone - another good player and clan leader

well thats my list of ppl that influenced me in this game and rock

[[Kcorp]Noobius]

i hate americans >< they always make idiot top 5/10/100s. get a life!

[St. Anger]

Noobius"]i hate americans >< they always make idiot top 5/10/100s. get a life!

Hating people based off one thing you dislike about them huh? Ok then, I hate euro's >< they always votekick people off their servers for no reason.

/Not really.

Seems he has more problems then just hating Americans. Take a look at his signature.

On most games that BloodyDemon plays in, 3/4 of the teams are noobs. So what he likes to do, is go off and fight alone. This makes the game last longer and becomes more enjoyable for the rest of us. But when he really gets down to business, bases get destroyed in a matter of minutes.

i.e. - On Infested Pump Station (Gloom3t) he goes off into the goo room and waits for people to come in and try to kill him. All the while letting the "average" players get some good fighting done. So instead of raping the opposing team every round, he gives them a fighting chance.

//I don't know why I just said all that about him..... :eek:

Summary:

He lets 3/4 of crappy players have fun by going gung ho. Good for him.
But how can you call him good when he decides to rape a base belonging to a team consisting of 3/4 of crappy players?
I'd like you to write what you really mean because this obviously is bad case of not getting the words you type lined up with the thoughts in your head.
