Nightly Scrumbag Discussion

[Napalm]

^^ I'm back in town so lets hook up and smack these girlie types around for a bit.

[stinkfingers]

had a smacky night. 3 dudes chasing the scrum. each thinking they were michael jordan. dumb. opposing team just picked us apart. yawn. 3 hefty losses in a row...mix? "stink wins enough." each guy on my team haulin as.s to the flag, not bothering to shoot anyone. leaving me to try and butt shoot as many as possible. no worky. don't mind losing, i just hate bad play. "we need woot," says michael jordan #3. no kidding? you need to shoot someone, einstein.

i can play w/bots any night of the week.

Funny thing is stinky... after you left things got a lil better. Yes, some people are better at shooting than others, and some are just better at flag running (vice versa) so rather than going on a "Rage quit - zOMG we lose" why not tell people in-game.

I don't mind a bit of friendly criticism but common, making a long arse post about it?

P.S - In reference to when I said "We need woot" - I was talking about needing someone who can shoot, I know I'm not very good at shooting and I kinda know that flipmag (Magenta) would rather be flag running than anything else, just as I would.

I had a case of the screaming ab dabs last night, so decided to jack work & that I could manage some light TT work. Most players were under alias, which made my mind implode a bit. I think even though you know who most peeps are they have an advantage. When snap desisions are made based on a name you need an extra thought to link the alias to the player.

Played a couple of games with Stink who made some great runs, but it was kinda tainted by Marck 2 (we alol agreed that a Marck 3 is required) & an ibot training fest. Also realised last night that Sink has the Magneto affect like Delta does.

Finished off with Three & wOOt. Basically I needed to fart, but lacked the confidence, so was distracted. wOOt ended up schooling us big style with some uber map knowledge, culminating in a rock bounce into the top of the goal. I have NEVER been able to do one of those....

Next time I hoep to have more control over my bodliy functions.

Tried getting in about 11:00 CST. Didn't work out so well.

Pedro:you want to name names, then i will join you.

thing is, things got a helluva lot worse when you got there. "why not tell people in game?" tell em what? that the gun is for shooting? that you can't all carry the flag at once? i thought you've been playing for years. or so you say. rage quit? no man, i just got extremely tired of hitting the space bar while you spazzes raced around the map not shooting anyone. i shouldn't have to explain that the gun on your tank is for shooting people. the other team knew what to do with theirs.

you're not any good shooting folks? maybe you should start trying. you could actually get better.

I was shooting the majority of the time, ask the opposing team. There's no point 1 person getting the flag and no-one else aiding them, it can be quite hard to get the scrum to the goal. I like to support the flag carrier just incase of the inevitable.

When did TS get to be more on what you can do with your gun than with your tank. I supported my team by blocking and defending the goal when/if I could (When I wasn't being constantly shot at by chocolate, <3) and yes I make mistakes

[stinkfingers]

edit: nice edit^. guess you thought better of talking about how bad i suck...

well, yeah. i suck...ask around. but your play is stellar. i bet you clean up in indy.

i guess if i'd realized that we had such a phenomenal carrier on our team i woulda clammed up and just kept on shooting fools for you. next time be sure and tell me how good you are at carrying, so i'll know my place.

at least two years ago. all the good runners are decent shooters. a runner who can't shoot is as useful as a bot.

.. and just to clarify that was my first TS match in, oh around 6 months? Sorry if it wasn't up to your SPECTACULAR standards..

Very sorry, now I must pray to God for forgiveness.

[stinkfingers]

stink's spectacular standards:
1. don't play like a bot.

that's it.

.. and just to clarify that was my first TS match in, oh around 6 months? Sorry if it wasn't up to your SPECTACULAR standards..

so i have a rusty "runner" a new guy, and an ol timer who never saw a flag he wouldn't chase. against 4 vets who are shooting everything in sight and making sure they real runners get the flag.

see, that dog don't hunt. part of being worth a crap at this game is knowing how to play as a team. like i said, losing i don't mind. crap play i do. i'd lost about half of the games i'd played that evening. but crappy "me" centered play is a sin. pray about that.
