junk2drive Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Doesn't everyone play this way? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseltaylor Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 It is a real b*tch playing these rules TCP/IP on time limit. My brother and I stopped playing 5000 pointers this way - play 3000 pointers it is just so much more pleasurable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Hope Park Posted November 9, 2004 Author Share Posted November 9, 2004 I thought the idea was to use these rules against the AI? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk2drive Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 If you are tough enough for night battles, turn off the house lights, kick a wall as hard as you can to simulate a grunt wondering which General thought this was a good idea and adjust the gamma until you cannot make out anything but faces and light coloured armour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Hope Park Posted November 9, 2004 Author Share Posted November 9, 2004 I think that would go under "Optional rules". The other one was "Return Fire". In this, you make an anonymous donation of weapons, ammunition, petrol and maybe some explosives to that neighbour across the street that you just don't get on with. Wheel your computer into the bay window out front. Set up, and then give him a bell. Be highly abusive and insulting, while making rude hand gestures at the window. Put the 'phone down. Put your headphones on and press "Go"! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseltaylor Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 CSO Talorgan " I thought the idea was to use these rules against the AI? " Are you saying you never played human to human with these rules! Sheesh! The computer AI makes it a game for wimps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Hope Park Posted November 11, 2004 Author Share Posted November 11, 2004 Alas, yes. The trouble with playing against other humans is their tendency to pour large glasses of pleasant liquids, which leave you barely able to focus on the screen, let alone remember which side you're on. If the telephone network hereabouts was in better nick, we would be able to use the other options, but we have lost e-mail games sending them from one end of town to the other. TCP/IP is just not an option. Come to think on it though that was a while ago with CMBO. Maybe we should try again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
