GUNS vs TBE

[Bluepixie]

After our remarkable success on Wed during a random GUNS vs TBE situation, TBE are now interested in arranging some friendly matches.

I've been talking to some of the members of the TBE clan. I've put up an invitation on their forum.

Who's up for it?

Need at least 8 players. I presume that these guilty parties will make up most of the team.

- Bluepixie (well duh)
- Exuus
- Sideshow
- Yega.Doyai
- SquirrelKing

Maybe Larry? Dave? anybody that's interested give me a shout!

[DAve]

Yeah, I'm up for it. When were you thinking about it?

I think I need some practice before then!

[--Mogwai--]

definitely count me in, never one to turn down a CS match :D

-larry

EDIT : can someone post their server ip? my steam "favourite server" list has yet again decided to delete itself...

[Bluepixie]

Excellent!

I think the match will be next week sometime, haven't got a final date yet. We can discuss it further at the lan. :D

[Exuus]

I'm up for it, we'll need extensive practice at the LAN (anything to avoid starcraft) :D

[YcMing]

hehehe , is starcraft actually that bad ^^ ? or too hard to play :)?

[Exuus]

To put it in perspective, starcraft for me is like you trying to play Quake 3.


It just doesn't work. :)

[YcMing]

hmm.. you see, i haven't tried playing quake 3, but unreal ain't that hard you see, cos most of the shooting games is similar .

But i do see your point, it is just really down to opinion.

IS rather click shoot or click think click ;)

Holy Wars #4223 RTS v's FPS:

I think Jeremy and Doug can take it from here:

Jeremy: Y'know it's like kinda hard to control like 50 units on like 3 fronts and like micro 'em all at the same time man.. instead of just like.. just controlling your one guy and pointing and shooting right.. it's like.. just like a little Missile Defender.. can you please control the rest of my army 'cause I don't have like any micro right..

Doug: Well like I need an army to kill a bunch of guys! I don't need nothing but myself!
It's like.. I'm coming around the corner.. BOOM HEADSHOT
It's like.. that guy's coming around the corner? BOOM HEADSHOT
Send your tank! 'cause I got frags! I got frags!

Jeremy: So you're like a 1 Ranger army coming at me and I'm like..
SCUD STORM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Doug: Ok, Mr. Botanical tank with no balls.. that's all I gotta say..

Jeremy: No balls?

Doug: it's like "Botanical tank! Look at me! No balls! No balls!"

Jeremy: Want to see some balls? My Nuke Overlord will show you some balls!
Particle Cannon BOOM!

So yeah, I guess RTS wins that one then.

[Bluepixie]

But at the end of the day, FPS or RTS, it's all about practice.

Both need reflexes, tactics, knowledge and experience for a player to excel.

If you don't like the game, you won't be willing to put in the time to gain these skills.


Anyway, this thread is being used to organise the clan match, so keep such discussions out. Thanks. :)

[--Mogwai--]

just an all-for-fun match, or will there be team tactics? does anyone have a Ventrilo/TeamSpeak server etc? are there any other servers people regularly use for practice or whatever? post server IPs, or add me on msn .. magic_larry@hotmail.com

[Sideshow]

I have no headset, but I'll get one if everyone else has. And I can't play Wednesday, or the weekend, so don't arrange it for then.

[Bluepixie]

Ok man, not Wed or the Weekend.

Still trying to get in touch with xdragox, seems to be hard to get hold of....

Teamspeak and tactics will be the order of the day. We can setup an IP server (Exuus? You wanna sort that out?) and talk about it tommorrow maybe?

I've added you to my MSN list Larry. :)

[Phizz]

Good luck guys. I'll be willing you from work. :-)

[Bluepixie]

Good luck guys. I'll be willing you from work. :-)

Thanks man. :)

Ok, I've been talking to xdragox, and the match should be next week sometime. This is the current list of players.

It shall be a 7 vs 7 match.

- Bluepixie
- Sideshow
- Yega.Doyai
- Mogwai
- Exuus
- GingerLoki
- SqurrielKing
- Weeble

Anybody wanting to be added to the line up please contact me.

It all depends on the date, and who can make it. I shall keep you updated.

Cheers guys. We're going to rock!

[--Mogwai--]

ive been playing on their server a fair bit, its quite good. are the regular times when anyone else goes on there? it sure gets lonely being the only [GUNS] tag :cry:

[Bluepixie]

I'm normally on there in the evening. Not been playing the last week or so due to my power supply problems... :(

However, my new shiny Tagan 480W has just arrived!

Just going to have some lunch, then get cracking with the repairs.....

....hopefully see some of you guys on the server tonight! :D

[YegaDoyai]

Uh, so like, when are we practicing then?

[Bluepixie]

Uh, so like, when are we practicing then?

All in good time! As soon as im online today I'll be rounding up the troops. So maybe this evening?

[YegaDoyai]

I don't mind having a counter thingy to track my posts but comparing my posts to a plastic pistol is not on!! I want the basic posts counter changed to Mk23 or at the least a 92fs we are elite you know.

You'll note I managed to avoid the 'leet speak.

Pixie boy, I need more notice than just "can you play tonight?"

Ok ok ok! Keep your socks on!

But if you want to have better guns, you better get posting! :p

Will give more notice than just a day, I promise.

:D

[YegaDoyai]

k but this could lead to a general misuse of valuable resources.

[Bluepixie]

Ok, play it the gay way. :p

Just remember, I'm a mod on here and I'll nail people for "post-woreing" if I think I see it.

*Tiddles thumbs*

Nope, didn't see anything. :)

[Sideshow]

dunno how the scheduling is going. I am not free Tuesday, and am going away for the weekend on friday, back monday.

I want a 7800GTX SLI system as well, but it 'aint gonna happen :)

There was a thread about the board rankings (http://guns.joanddave.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18&highlight=Glock) there, and generally there was some disagreement among the posters about what should go where. I'm tempted to do a little tweaking, but I think the general ranking is sound. You've only got 3 more posts to go to get the next level :D

Bluepixie has a good point about post whoring though. Posting for the sake of it will just get the posts deleted.

[DAve]

ive been playing on their server a fair bit
What's their server address? I would like to join in and scope out the competition before I get pawned.

[Bluepixie]

Easy there Sideshow, don't annoy the boss.......

[DAve]

Cheers.

I know it's spelled pwned. pwned was so last year, now leet speak has grammer involved:

Tactics from the TBE match are now split from this forum.

The posts that were here are now in the Tactics forum (http://guns.joanddave.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=58):
