Ladder Chat

[YcMing]

Hmm are we suppose to post here? May i say Starcraft for 1v1 and 2v2 ladder :O? sorry if we are not suppose to post here >.<

[DAve]

Whoops, that was totally my fault, I forgot to lock the posts there.

Starcraft will be available for the ladders, I'm sure that it will be a popular choice too :)

[Phizz]

I might get into Starcraft if someone can blag me a copy and get me off Runescape.

[Exuus]

Jesus Christ, don't do it! Stay on the Runescape.

[Phizz]

But I've got like 723 lvls in like 3 weeks. I need help!! lol

[YcMing]

Hey HEY EXUUS, don't try to stop someone from playing an intelligent game :P, just because i hard, doesn't mean is not fun ^^ :)

[YegaDoyai]

just because it IS hard does not mean it IS fun.

[Fyndir]

I will hurt you.


You're a disgrace!

[YcMing]

Well yega, i guess you can say it both way. I just prefer games that is challenging.

If that is ok with you ~~~~. But i guess there are always more people into FPS a the lan party, cos is fast and quick fun :)

[YegaDoyai]

Try a simulation if you want a challenge, bring on the Grand Prix Legends ladder or shall I decree myself king now and forever hold my peace?
Flight sims anyone?

A challenge is where you look for it. Try beating Pixie 1 on 1 in Q3 you don't need a steeper challenge than that.
I was merely indicating that your justification is flawed, as is your retort for virtualy the same reason.

Please do not try to justify playing one game over another because of any other reason than thats the kind of game you like. I respect people who do things because that's what they like, I don't respect people that try to claim thier game is more cerebral than other games.

<Preemptive strike>
Note to DAve: Yes this is getting close to a flame, I will try to ensure that it does not but we are all supposed to be capable of intelligent discussion so let's see where it goes eh?

Ming watching you play Starcraft actually made my head spin. I think you play that faster than I play any FPS game :)

[Sideshow]

I don't respect people that try to claim thier game is more cerebral than other games.

Well, that's a bit silly. Unless you are claiming that FPS require the same amount of though and planmning as RTS. Which would be a bit silly. Not that I'm saying that they require no thought at all - a lot of counter-strike is tactics and outguessing your opponent (which is why I get so pissed of when I've correctly out-thought my opponent, got into an ambush spot to end them, and then have Niall cheat blatantly with the spectator cam and warn his team mate. I digress). But the example you gave was Q3, possibly the most dumbed-down, hyper-accentuated-on-reflexs deathmatch FPS you can get. It's designed to require no thought.

In short, there's nothing wrong with saying you prefer games which require you to think more, and it is inaccurate to say that FPS in general require the same amount of thinking as RTS.

[YegaDoyai]

I still belive that I can out think and beat pixie at Q3, just takes time and practice.

[Sideshow]

OK. How?

[Strings]

I agree with Sideshow on the "OK How?"

Because Pixie simply destroys everyone at Q3 :P

[YcMing]

Sorry didn't know you, did not realise what i said is just my personal opinions and i have never even try to make you believe sc is a better a game, only in my eyes...

now that makes more sense ;)

Don't know why there are always RTS VS FPS all the time :P:P


But comes time to it, no point arguing over something that will have no single outcome, is really down to personal choice, so i do respect for what ever you guys like :).

[Sideshow]

woos

[Bluepixie]

Well I’m glad that's sorted. :D

It's interesting that these sorts of things happen and I'm glad that "we" as a group can cope with it. Yay for civilized beings! There will always be sides, even in game choice and we all have our own game specialties.

Bluepixie - Quake III
Ming - Starcraft
Strings - Jedi Academy (well you did own us)
Mogwai - CS
YegaDoyai - Every racing game know to man (and hamster)
Exuus - BF2 (with the M82 mind)

etc etc etc

One of the great things about our group is that there is a pretty good variety in the games. Meaning that we have a good ramp in experiance/skill area from n00bs to crazy people. Which is handy, as no one gets left out.

Anyway, enough of that.

We going to have a CS: Source 2v2 match?

Bluepixie Sideshow
YegaDoyai Vs Mogwai

?

Some 1v1 HL2DM and Q3 matches?

[Sideshow]

Hold on - how come I get saddled with you? Didn't I already shotgun Mogwai?

[Phizz]

Anyone noticed that smaller people are good at games? I think it's biological.
Less space between neurones, increases reaction times.

[YcMing]

Hehe side show ^^ , this could go on forever ..................

So might as well just end it there :P

Oh and back on topic Starcraft ladder/ tournament ^^ ?

[Strings]

Pixie Im insulted. Did I not AWP you to death when we played CS:S. If theres any CS:S 2v2, then you better count me in. :(

[Bluepixie]

Wow! I forgot about this thread!

Sideshow, I ment

Bluepixie & YegaDoyai vs. Sideshow & Mogwai.

The text got all screwed up.

Strings, if we play CS:S I'd have you in my squad any day! :D

All the reactions in the world won't save you from a railgun. :twisted:

That's right Exuus. Think you can camp with the quad in Q3DM17 when I'm playing? Not likey.... :P

[Exuus]

It's served me well every time so far.

If you want the quad, come and claim it. :twisted:

[Fyndir]

I'll have to try sometime, I suck at DM games usually though.

slightly off topic, but is it sad that I have more posts than Exuus even though he signed up at the very start of this year and I signed up a few weeks ago? =/

[Exuus]

Yes, you are a sad and pathetic person.






Or I don't post much.

[Fyndir]

First one seems more likely, since it's completely accurate. =p

I'm just online all the fucking time at the moment since I dropped out and haven't found a job yet.

[Phizz]

Amen to that bro' I got so much net time in while I was unemployed. Never got time for it now. I'm pulling 12hr shifts at the mo' . :-(

[Strings]

Least its not 12 hours in the Co-Op Phizz.

*shudders*

[Exuus]

Thank god for student IT support. 8)

[Phizz]

Hey. We had some people come in at 25 to 10 last night so I was in for 15hrs.

[YcMing]

anyone still doing the ladder idea :P ?

[Phizz]

I'd be up for it once I've got a new comp but until then count me out.
