Junglist Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Been on vacation for awhile and I'm glad to see you guys are still at it! I haven't had a chance to read any of the threads yet (except a quick peak at the tourney - which I gotta say is a great idea) but I look forward mixing it up again soon. See you on the battlefield.

ThePhantom Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Jung - Where'd you go? Around the world in a air balloon. You've been gone all summer. Well, I'm glad you're back. Hey, have you tried the demo for ShockForce? [ August 14, 2007, 07:38 PM: Message edited by: ThePhantom ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That area denial, turret stream-drop beginning of that last game was awesome....if you had told me in the first few minutes that Phantom and I would make a game of it I wouldn't have believed you. Great game seesawing game.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junglist Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 That was a nice game tonight - I was a little surprised it was close in the end too; you guys were pretty cagey though. Seems I forgot what the drop once command is for and used up all of our dropships. I was really enjoying the beginning of the battle, hehe, too much typing and the curse of the smack-talk almost burned me, and honestly, if Rua'anith hadn't been there defending with me it would have ended badly.

rua'anith Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 One part of that game that wasn't enjoyalbe was the digging you out of the air defence turret! Then we turned around and dug in when we ran out of dropships! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junglist Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 Oh yeah, Phantom - to your question about shockforce, I currently can't run the demo with the computer i have. It will probably be a few months before I do, just a matter of time before i buy the game....though not my preferred setting for a war game.

The smack talk was good too....."Burrrrrrn" is going to be my go to line from now on.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhantom Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I didn't think they had much of a chance either, Bboyle. They made a serious game of it. Somehow they won at the end. I just couldn't get the bots in a defensive position when I had cleared the base (three times!!!). They seemed to be spread out all over and to far away from the objective. I just can't control them that well when I go on the assault mode. My eyes are straining looking down my scope. I do have some plans on that scenario that are effective. I just wonder what Nexus is planning during the tournament. We must all play the tournament. I think that's the future for Drop Team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phonan Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Weekly tournaments? A "Ladder?" Most Dangerous Player? Snakiest Viper? I think a lot of players would like that type of thing. (And I might too, as long as the so-called "Randomizer" keeps me out of fights with Clay...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of players would like that type of thing. How about a reward for best Smack-Talk of the week.....or to even the playing field a bit, since some of us like a drink or two, how about the Drunken Master showdown! Where the players must agree to get inebriated before and during the match (careful where you spill that drink!). Obviously it would be very dishonorable to lie and play sober, and certainly less entertaining. . . . . . To those of you out there who prefer the sober approach to gaming I apologize if this post was in anyway offensive to you. However, you can never vie for title of the Drunken-Master! . . . . . . And besides, we are space-vikings, aren't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby Haynes Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Originally posted by Junglist: And besides, we are space-vikings, aren't we? Just remember your Viking mythology on alcohol... Every drop you spill goes into a barrel. Before you are allowed entry into Valhalla, you are up-ended into your barrel of spilt drinks and forced to drink it all. So don't spill Baileys and Bitter Lemon - that's all I'm saying. Stick to beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaytoniousRex Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 It's already obvious that none of us here play sober very often. (And it's easy to see which parts of the code I was working on while not sober). The idea is to think of something out of the ordinary! And, Toby, calling it mythology is so judgmental...
