FragBU: Friday 2/3 and Saturday 2/4

[CyMek]

When a team finishes junk in < 5 min, you know it's gonna be a long night.

The game I was there on, it wound up being really even. The first team won in 5 or so minutes, and then the second team wound up behind by about 15 seconds after securing the checkpoint, and nearly escaped a few times themselves. Although it could have been one of the oither times I suppose. I lose track of this stuff when we play a single map more than 5 times a night.

In addition to warmup mode, I'd like to see the hidden fun% stats activated in utcomp since so many ppl treat this game like a mmo.

What stats are those?


I had fun last night though, despite the games in a lot of situations. I can't remember the last tiem I had laughed so much, and the time was thouroughly enjoyable. I find that the game is fun if you chose to make it so, and don't listen to the scoreboard! I decided last night that I didn't want to bemoan the fate of losing, I just wanted to have me some fun, so I did. I lost my cool a couple times, but it's all about reminding yourself that if you're not having fun, then the whole thing is really pretty pointless. Even if DP is upset with Red, step back and look at how funny it is. (Do you want a tissue DP? :'( ) At the worst, you can always mute him.

Of course, winning always makes the game more fun. I'm pretty n00b at CTF and DM and all that shis, (although I'm a pr0 release switch camper in JB) but I CAN play AS. Winning is fun, but I think it would be more fun to play games of AS where the result was NOT determined by how many of me/mms/raffi/eif are on one team vs. the other. I would be willing to go through all the AS maps and teach any FragBU goes what I know about maps and general AS strategy so that we can have some good games of AS. If anyone is interested, post about this, and when might be good for everyone to get together.

I already forgot what map we were playing, but I just remember hearing a "NOOOO!" after many many minutes of silence on TS, and it was pretty funny

Edit: Oh yeah, I remember now, I think it was this match of Romra, where it stayed 0-0, and Blue scored the first (and only) point about 17 minutes in to the round

The game I was in, our defense made one decent stand, and then collapsed, at every major checkpoint. When the power core actually RESET on our turn, I knew the match was over.

Yeah, that was funny. Red must have taken our flag about 50 times, then m&ms runs over, grabs their flag once, shield-hops back and that's the game!

(at least he only did it once, so it looked like a close game.)

Does this maen you'll take me up on my offer of tutelage?

I'm the last person that needs to be tutored on Assault, all I said was that particular match was a snowball going downhill.

FragBU has been host to some great Assault matches, when the server is full and there is good teamplay going on.

I still remember your AS-Junkyard map, Worf

I'd be up for learning some l337 AS strats.

I gotta say too... FragBU is a heck of a lot of fun. It is less so when:

- I hear incessant whining
- I hear people constantly attacking each other
- I hear players denigrate their own team.

So, hal's pro-tips of the week are these:

- stfu
- stfu
- stfu

Seriously... set your mic so that it requires a button press for speech so that we don't have to hear every utterance that pops into your brain. Think about what you are saying before you speak. Don't rip your team mates before, during, or after the match. The funny jab at someone else's expense that was so funny the first time is old starting the second time around.

So. There.

 

[nuttella]

I thought of one l33t strat: When playing against CyMek in Robotwars, infiltrate the other team and get in the rear link turret, so he can't.

 

[ShakeZula]

The Romra game which Red won 5-4 in overtime was the first non DM-based match I've ever enjoyed. Awesome

Can we get Lea on Vipers? Not for FragBU, but midweek 1on1 games always get played

>That was an awsome match i wish i hadn't of went to the restroom halfway through though, i might have been able to stop Red from getting the flag once.

Hal wins the thread again.

i played a map of thorns and nobody on my team was playing ctf so i bitched at them for a while and played dm in middle the next map ;x

I edited my post and now my sig is f**ked! GG vBulletin!

That was real nice of you, Dan. Please, bless us with your presence from now on.

Version 9.0 of BuF's AS-Junkyard map (my contribution was "spam").

 

[hal]

lmao.. I haven't seen that in a long time. The funny lives on.

 

[hyrulian]

I think I added "Stuck Vehicles" (from my habit of repeatedly getting the vehicle stuck in a pipe) and "Excess Lag" (from when we played on the underpowered server on Ketnar and our excessive spidermines totally killed the server)

 

[JohnDoe641]

You need to update it with the pipes.

 

[hal]

Hah, yeah, those pipes really screwed up my perspective until I shield gunned the ground a few times. That was pretty wild flipping around and around.

 

[JohnDoe641]

It was supposed to kill you but the pipes just pushed the car until it couldn't move, then it was crushed and you two flew out.

 

[Dark Pulse]

Ironically enough, I think I'm the one that added "Whining."
