Are you a deconner?

I'm curious. You don't have to post about your deconning adventures, just voting is enough!

No.

I played Tribes, and hated game ruiners.

I have forgotten to announce reac moves, however (except I'm usually teamchatting with the other builder, so if people get a chance to read the cyan stuff whilst fighting, they'll have a pretty good idea of what's up).

Absolutely never, although I came pretty damn close when the human team got full of luci-spamming retards (none of whom would build even though our defenses were rolling in their graves).

Maybe once or twice in the past month, but I've done it countless times.  ;)

Nading the base counts as a decon for me, it's basically a different action to reach the same result.

A little while ago, our base was doomed with 3 rants in it. So I ended it fast with 4 nades, killing all 3 rants and ending the game.

Also, probably the beginning of June, me and Karos teamed up for a base nade, middle of the game. I gathered 3000 creds and told him that when I started throwing them, he would have to start sharing me all he had rapidly. I ended up spamming 24 nades all over the place, and it killed the whole team of like 8 people and the entire base, ending the game immediately. Was fun shit.

I think the question should be " Who hasnt deconned before for shits and giggles?"

I've done it countless times to watch everyone go " OMFG WE GOT DECONNED "

My all time fav is to decon then revert when aliens are in the middle of my base

Well, I hope I never happen to play on your server. That is utter abuse.

I'm sorry but I just don't understand the pleasure you get from ruining the game for others. Making people angry or upset just doesn't thrill me the way it seems to for some of you guys.

Oh I'm sorry did I make it seem as I cared if others were having fun ?
What makes me smile is for me only fuck the rest of the bastards.

Most of the time people laugh right along with me.

And I dont decon and revert alot, maybe once a month.

Meh, annoying players require annoying solutions. Therefore, deconning a lame game is perfectly fine by me, it's better for everybody, and more fun than just doing !nextmap.

Interesting post Baldy. Are you implying that because you are an annoying player, I should decon your base?
/stoptroll

But yea, this game is too old to taken seriously anymore, can't help but nade my base and saw my teammates. Pubs aren't meant to be taken seriously, they are generally lame as hell with a bunch of campers and tk'ers.

Yes, the age of a game really has anything to do with how serious one should take it! Now this is some fantastic logic!

[PS] Don't mock the public servers that keep Tremulous alive, and people playing. You play on them, yet you disrespect them. If you are a real tough guy, you just don't ever play on public servers anymore.

Yes, It's just as fantastic as the logic in your previous post below. I didn't literally mean the games age. I meant we've been playing this for so long it's getting "old" as in boring.

Let's see you admin on the server and yet you disrespect the players by deconning them/allowing them to be deconned? Hypocrite much?

[PS] I like how you avoided the other content in my post. What's the matter you couldn't conjure up a comeback?
[PSS] Oh noz the Lava Croft fanboys are randomly flaming me, time to run.

@Anger: Maybe next time you should actually type what you mean, instead of type what you do not mean. Your statement was very clear and very stupid.

I administrate SatGNU just fine, as do all of our admins and we do not have many deconners. If a game drags on for too long without anything going on but camping, there will either be a decon or a !nextmap. If you decon during a perfectly fine game, purely for the purpose of ruining the fun, you get a smack with the banstick. If you fail to see the not so subtle difference between the two motivations to decon, I guess you would be the kind that gets banned rather quickly.

I ignored the 'other' content in your post because it was about me as a player, and since you and I have, to my knowledge, never played together, your assumptions are just that, assumptions.

And last but not least: Of all the people that belong to SatGNU, jhaa would be the last in line to be a 'Lava Croft fanboy'. My assumption is that he replied because you made a stupid statement about the age of game and seriousness, and in effect made a negative, untrue statement about Tremulous.

[PS] Remarking how someone ignores the content in your own posts while you ignore the content in other posts yourself is not very smart! Here, let me help you:

@Lava: Maybe next time you should actually type what you mean, instead of type what you do not mean. Your statement was very clear and very stupid.

Again you ignored the logic in my question. So I'll ask it again, IF you are an annoying player, are you saying it's right to decon your base?

I called Jhaa a fanboy because of his "Lava Croft Fan" signature, I don't know if he's mocking you or not with his signature and I don't care but it still implies that he's your fan.

[PS]As far as the mocking the server shit goes, are you saying we shouldn't criticize anything we use? Without criticism nothing would improve.

If I am a player that does nothing but camp when there is no need to, yes, then it's perfectly fine to decon my base.
I don't see why I have to explain this specifically for my persona.

You do not 'use' a public server, you are a guest there, playing purely by the grace of the server owner. Whining about how all public servers are lame camp/tk feasts is not criticizing, it's showing a good amount of disrespect for the people who pay for your games of Tremulous, and the people who spend time on keeping those games as running smooth as possible. It's a gift from the server owner and his admins to you, the Tremulous player. Who are you to criticize this gift? Where is your gift?

I'll not mention your horrible use of quotes, or wait, I just did.

Of course it's criticizing, and whether they pay for it or not is irrelevant, you don't see mmorpg companies telling their players to shutup and not complain, infact they condone it. I'm not dissing the server owners I'm dissing the playerbase that attends the server.
