I'm sure you have Lava Croft, considering there's hardly any populated servers in Europe running unlagged.

Is it weird that I assume he doesn't play without Unlagged after this statement?

Maybe if you had any common sense you would realize I don't play on any Euro servers not running unlagged because well... 150+ ping doesn't work so well now does it. The only thing that's weird is your big humpty dumpty egg head.

Sorry for the intrusion but that made me laugh hysterically!


One time I joined a game on Niveus and the human team was planning to move the reactor up on top of one of those ledges next to their default base. So I decided to help, I joined up and earned some creds. A few minutes later I asked if they were ready and soon deconned it only to remember that jetpacks DON'T WORK WITHOUT THE REACTOR!! Needless to say we lost the game fairly quickly and I felt so stupid afterwards.

Great story YourMama, that brings back some memories. Most of my games we remember to jet up there first, but there is the rare occasion when someone gets the idea to move there but forgets it's still S1.

I was playing on am|ne's bot server, the map was ATCS, another important thing to know is that you can't restart nor change the map before exterminating the whole Alien team and their two thousands eggs.

So I wanted to move the armory near the Alien base so my team and I could reload our plasma and bullets weapons without going back to our base, or building a repeater, wich would only help the users of a Plasma weapon...

When I deconned the armory, some people were saying things like ``wtf dude`` or ``you're a retard``, I explained them that I would rebuild the armory near the Alien base, wich would be much more useful in a server like this one. Why would it be actuly good? Because it's a bot server, and on am|ne's bot server, the Alien can only be dretches, and they run back to their base when there is no humans arround. So when I tryed to build the armory, it said I had no BP, I checked my BPs left just in case someone built something else right before I built the armory, or maybe it was a simple bug.

After people started to call me a deconner and tryed to vote kick me, I suddently realized that it was Sudden death, and that it was Sudden Death for 40 minutes. So I doomed the whole Human team to kill 45 eggs with their riffles, against a bunch of dretches that spawns every half of a second.

Needless to say, I became a hero...  ::)

I basenaded once this year.... in like January or so. I dropped a nade from jetpack but it bounced right off from a charging tyrant back into the base... Total disaster ;D

I had a few catastrophic base move failures in the beginning of my career too... Heh.. I'm a nice guy I guess. (Really, no. I shoot at my teammates who shoot me... lrn2/aim/ goddamit!)

Was playing rotcannon and heard some people talking about going there and deconing it so a while later I went there and found the most horrible server that is not an X server.

I have even done decon teams where I and another player each decon a team.

Not that deconning is good, but on that server it felt soooo good  :D

PS: if I see someone decon I will kick/forcespec/etc. their ass so don't talk to me about that it was only Harwes

Bigottery much?

I find, playing up to 130 ping is well possible. Up to 160 ping it depends on the enemies and the enemies ping. Above 180 = fail.

I seriously doubt any of you could play above 100 ping in lagged and still do well.

All a 150ping takes is some getting used to. In fact, it took me quite a while to get used to playing Tremulous on a European server after 1.1.0 released, since I always played Gloom and the Tremulous beta on American servers, and therefore I was used to having a 150-ish ping and leading my shots. I could not hit shit with a 40ping.

I play with 200+ ping here. This is because my modem is connected to other 2 pcs who use internet at the same time here. I can play pretty well anyway though, even with some lag from time to time.

Never deconned in the time I have played Tremulous, not even when I was new. Although there was that one time when I threw a nade in the wrong direction....

I play with 200+ ping here. This is because my modem is connected to other 2 pcs who use internet at the same time here. I can play pretty well anyway though, even with some lag from time to time.

I average with about 200 ping on most servers, but on a few like Skittles I get 999 at times. Guess it has to do with me living in the UK.

um that shouldn't help at all (infact it should make it worse) unless you have seperate internet cables ( as in the under ground lines and aboveground lines not just cables you plug in for those who like to miss-interperit) and connectors for each computer so that they each have a connection (im pretty sure that would work idk). my connection here is as good as yours but only one connection line

I'm going to skip the calling you an idiot part and the suggesting you should read what you are replying to part, and merely suggest that maybe he said that the 3 comps connected is why he get 200+ ping and he knows that it makes it worse.

My decons take the form of nade spam + psaw rush, but only for games that have already been over for 20 minutes. Really, people should turn SD off, it makes people camp waiting for it.

i will decon if a structure is about to explode since you cant heal it with the lightning sign on it so i decon it b4 it makes other structures take damage but it does have a few drawbacks went enemies are about to rush u a second later and those exploding structures make enemies take damage and slow their rushes down.

The closest thing I've ever done to deconning was a nade drop. And that was an accident. (I still got a ban.)
