Well @Hala there are three types of people who read the forums.
Dem types who have a sense of the history of the game and it’s community. They have an understanding what various players have meant and accomplished in the game. They show respect, and remember what made them, and what came before them. They know the history of the game, and are unafraid to call it like it is, or shout out to the players that helped make them. Kinda like @Random , sure I was the first monster player he played with, but man o fucking man - that kid became a Legend in his own right. Mint? He is directly and Umbri attacker, 3 generations removed. @The_Doctor he was a bad ass back then, just like he is now. He is his own man, and you never see him deny people who or what they are.
There are the types that refuse to believe, understand, or even consider the idea that others have had a labryintan effect that have helped shape the game by doing things so unusually. So… differently (in fact) than anyone else - that their unique perspective adds depth ya just can’t get anywhere else. These types usually are easily offended by anyone who won’t take the time to explaine vague and broad statements.Not that they are likely to listen anyway.
Last player is the one that only reads their own words, or that of the people they play with. Snap vote to hide posts that make them look foolish, and generally ride the jocks of strong players, while wondering why they aren’t spoken of as something worth trying to understand.
I am one of the first type.
Now that you ain’t a mod anymore, what type are you?
Gonna hide this too @Hala?
Welcome back to the community.
I suppose I could say:
“Jeepers guys, I have done alot of work with RP’s in the past - would you pretty please let me know when that discussion is going on incase I missed. Just kidding! Teehee! I know no one would think to bring it up to me, but I would really like to be around you swell fellas if this gets talked about in the back end”.
Ooor… I could call you dumbshits (like I call any/everyone) and find out were the real chat is, because as far as race to game balance goes I am “that guy”.
Or do one of you have an approved race for implementation already?
Dracula dosen’t claim he is a vampire.
He says “I am unique”.
At least @Picklearmy can get past my style and helped me build that race. Hell when we did that, I think we were the 1 n 2 fams, and he was about to (and did) tear us apart.
Also, guys… bubbys…
No one makes races like me, and no one playing ever had the success with them like I have had.
The huge diffy is In many cases (as @The_LiGhTgUnS quite accurately pointed out) I usually just play with my friends. I didn’t have the success I did playing with the best ever, I had it by playing alone, with my “terrible races” building fams against the best ever.
You guys simply do not have a frame of reference to understand it.
Most of the time with really unusual races.
So yeah, as RPs go - there is simply no-one like me.
If you can get past that I have no problem stating facts about myself and anyone else, you will find a rich complement of RP information.
That, or I am just very mad that I have such tiny balls.
@The_LiGhTgUnS You didn’t. You did mention a few weeks ago that I like to play with my friends over names.
@Picklearmy
Why, so I can get gang rapped by your whole fam while 11teen fake accounts op me into the ground? That sounds like a blast. Even better when the gala is set up for exactly the rounds they want to play?
Pass.
Anytime you wanna start with 10k gold and no fake accounts, let me know.
Hmm, when your fam is in the commenting here… but we can recap real quick.
2nd place - fist round back after 15 years. With a 350p banker that didn’t aid for 3 weeks.
1st place - In your fam, second round back. Played quite well if memory served.
Torn apart as a banker by ops from one fam and hits from the other in the weirdest looking MW ever.
Dunno, looks like I got lucky with the fam I am in this round. They are doing well.
Not current enough for ya?
True I am Dancing this round (deffy weird custom in the other two rounds). But with the changes on defense, and the fact that I figured I was in a 3 man fam to start the round -Dancer looked like the only viable option.
Change the game with a bazillon starting res, like I said last week - it kills creativity.
Yes and people will say that your 2nd place finish was because of Rando, and your 1st place finish was because of me (and crew), and you are doing well now because AW is probably running your infra.
I don’t necessarily feel that way but those are definitely arguments towards your success. The question is did those fams finish like that because of your races?
I personally have a hard time believing that.
Until you can dominate solo with an interesting race nobody will care that you boast to be the RP guru, because there is no evidence of it.
We had 10k starting gc round before last in MW. Perhaps you can make a custom solo galaxy with 10k starting gc and prove that you are the Race guru.
And it’s nothing personal, just the arrogance and the superiority complex towards the community really rubs me the wrong way.
Yep @Airwing is amazballs with infra.
Yep @Picklearmy you are an amazing leader.
Yep @Random is one of the best of all time.
Yep yep yep.
Everytime I play, seems like mad res, and from my somewhat limited perspective, it seems like it the norm now.
You make fair points, and nothing against you either.
I doubt race creativity was a massive factor in either round, but unlike you I rarely (if ever) know who I am playing with or what a fam will look like.
So race creativity, might not even be viable anymore with the change to attacking.
But sure, if the mark that you all hold as high is a solo gala. We can get something going and see if there is any reason to play something other than Dancer in a solo gala, np.
My fierce pride over RPs is based on my record, and the horrific bullshit I have beaten back off the strength of them back in the day.
With the current state of the game, I am really not sure any creativity is viable.
Thus my ranting. I miss the creativity, and rather sadly I think it might have been changed out of the game for the most part.
However, if customs were granted a few RPs the creativity would be back with a vengeance.
@kingray12
You betcha man!
I always look at all the races people play. I compliment many on their wrinkles, specially when they go the extra mile like you did this round.
Most of meh banter with PA was about +Inc attacker races. He implied that meh lil “one man fam” races did not really contribute much to the success of the fams I have played in of late. I would beg to differ to some degree - but he is quite correct I have not had to “one man fam” since my return.
However if uni is set up for it at some point (and I have the RL time) I may very well see if I can still put on a show for these kats.
I am sure if I do, it won’t be recognized.
It never is, never was. There is always a caveat!
No one ever does it all alone.
Hell some people have so many other players ready to play with them they (rightfully) call it a “crew”.
Yet for the hand full of other race innovators - I will always be there to high five and talk RPs.
If nothing, it keeps @I_like_pie thinking about race points.
