I actually was going to suggest Instareap or Team Instareap. What is fierce Instareap?

Suggestion:

The one, the only, the G.O.A.T....

Burning Indika 3

Darktalyn1

Cool, we'll definitely try to get a game or 2. But, if your wrists start bothering you, we'll call it quits early. Health first!

Darktalyn1

SLW was a pretty sweet level as I recall. Haven't set foot in there in years though.

Sicky,

You guys had it good, that's for sure

Must have been an awesome way to play the game. Lanning with top players on the regular. Too bad for me, I moved to SoCal about 7 years too late

I think a team of Grendel-Krom-Foil-Chz coordinating via voice would give DT-Behe-Ryujin-Behe's bro playing \"pure anarchy\" (no team communication) a pretty good run for their money. So now you're saying the CTF players would get the advantage of using voice communication while the Anarc...

Lothar;

As Master Sirian might say, you're not a complete player.

Nobody's a complete player. Also quoting old washed up players doesn't carry a lot of weight.

Kilarin;

I have no need to convince anyone of anything.

It's all about getting a discussion going on an otherwise silent forum

Darktalyn1

Well, the ideal would be a round robin where we do

Ryu/DT vs Beh/Thorne
Ryu/Beh vs DT/Thorne
Ryu/Thorn vs Beh/DT

I did something similar a couple years ago with Beh, Javed, and JF and it was a lot of fun.

Darktalyn1

it became the hidden spawn, powerup gobbling ctf crapshoot

This probably goes a long way toward my dislike of CTF. It might not be so much the mod that I hate, just the way it plays on that level (which happens to be only one that gets any play-time)

Darktalyn1

Behemoth is greater than both you and your little partner boy You do have the edge in 1v1s, this much is true. However, I said it at the beginning of the thread and I'll say it again, you partner will always get waxed because there is no competent fourth player. Now, in all fairness, a Behe/Ryu tea...

Darktalyn1

Also, I was joking about CTF being responsible for D3's death. In all seriousness, a big part of the D3 community falling apart was once teams started boycotting other teams on the D3TL.

But, PXO shutting down was obviously the biggest culprit.

Darktalyn1

Veins CTF is the ONLY CTF these days.

Darktalyn1

Wow... ThunderBunny out for blood! I like it.

Yeah I remember when PXO disappeared off the face of Planet Earth, that D3 effectively went into a coma. I didn't know that was Suncho's doing, however (even if indirectly)

Now... Bunny boy, when will we be seeing you in the mines ?

Darktalyn1

Hehe. Credit where credit is due... Krom wasn't making things up. in a pick-up game that was sort of a D3K-elite hat-trick, from what I remember I'm not saying it's impossible. I've done it from time to time myself. And in all honestly it's probably harder to do now against the pilots that play Vei...

Darktalyn1

WOW. Horrible Analogy.

I love chess, and even played in some local tournaments when I was younger.

Next!

Darktalyn1

Taking the Enemy Weapons room and holding it is one of my favorite things to do in a CTF Veins game.

Darktalyn1

\"Subway the Right Way\" = deleted from your hard drive

This.

Darktalyn1

We'll get that going too

What can I say? I've mostly been playing Starcraft 2 Beta these days.

Darktalyn1

Well I personally love Team Anarchy most, then 1v1, then Anarchy. But the question is, are you ready to throw down for a CTF and a Team Anarchy? The CTF should be a cakewalk after all.. considering I don't know strategy and am always out of position :) Also Grendel I'm not 'suddenly' bring up Team A...

Darktalyn1

Really... Let's make this more interesting then. Why don't Foil, Grendel, and Krom (defenders of CTF) take on me, Behemoth, and Ryujin (anarchy purists). We can play 1 game of CTF on Halcyon and one game of Team anarchy. I'm confident that while our teamwork might not be fantastic in CTF, we'll stil...

Darktalyn1

Foil, Any time I actually bother to play Defense in CTF the opposing team's scoring immediately grinds to a halt. The only problem is it's so damn boring I eventually return to gunslinger mode 8) I would also like to add that while CTF teaches bad habits for anarchy, anarchy does not teach bad habit...

Darktalyn1

I love Krom's revisionist history about his D3 exploits... Please, let us all gather around a camp-fire while he tells us more fictional tales.

Grendel,

I have one thing to say to you...

Darktalyn1

I rarely capture the flag cause I don't feel like hopping in a skipnix and running for an hour straight. If I wanted to do that I'd get on a treadmill - at least then there is some benefit to it

Darktalyn1

True or False: CTF was responsible for the downfall of Descent 3.

Darktalyn1

I have many nice things to say... Merlin was an amazing sorceror and helped King Arthur in his claim to fame. His beard was long and flowing and filled with badassery. Dude could wear a robe day and night and still pimped Camelot like nobody's business. But now, defend the validity of CTF! :oops:

Darktalyn1

I take it back. Hoard slightly edges out CTF for 'Worst Gametype' status.

However... I stand by my assertion that CTF does not reflect the good things about Descent, and instead rewards/promotes bad habits.

I challenge anyone to defend CTF as a valid gametype! It cannot be done!

Darktalyn1

CTF is by far the worst mod in Descent 3. For starters, it rewards players for two of the most despicable behaviours in online play. 1. Running. Everyone's running away from fights instead of taking their lumps like a man. Either running to the flag or running away from the flag. I see peenixes runn...

Darktalyn1

I grant permission for you to demo the next showing of our 2v2 Greatness. Behemoth has been reduced to play n00blets to rebuild his confidence after the last time he tried a 2v2 with us. Maybe some day soon he will manage to convince himself it was all a bad dream, and willingly come back for anothe...

Darktalyn1

Even the spammers are compelled to reply to my threads!

Darktalyn1

Can you remind me of the scores from our last 2 games again? For some reason it's a little foggy, maybe a stat file will help jog my memory...

Ryu & DT = G.O.A.T.

Darktalyn1

It's kind of sad that Behemoth and Zero had to retire from the 2v2 scene with their tails between their legs...

Oh well! I guess that's what happens when you get utterly destroyed by the best tandem in the history of Descent

Darktalyn1

No worries. I was working crazy hours earlier this year so I know how that goes. We'll try to get something arranged when you have a bit more free time

Darktalyn1

Ba-Bump.

Thorne and Sicky... You guys wanna agree to a day and time for this weekend?

Darktalyn1

Well since you punks completely hi-jacked my thread,

Rank the following!

Descent 1 v1.5
D1X (up to v1.42 I think)
D1X-Rebirth
Descent 2 v1.2
D2X (up to v0.25/v0.26 beta)
D2X-XL/D2X-Rebirth
Descent 3 v 1.0
Descent 3 v 1.4
Descent 3 v 1.5
Descent 3 Mercenary

Darktalyn1

You're a nice dog, but if you're not careful I'm gonna have to neuter you, with a well placed MD round!

Darktalyn1

Alright! We have some new victims, er, challengers. SickOne and Sergeant Thorne... Let's get something arranged. We could do one game or a best 2/3, depending on what you like. I was thinking Kata would be a fun level for a match, but let me know if you'd prefer something else. Games are to 100.

Darktalyn1

Wuss? I MD ho it up with the best of them. I hat-trick fools on a regular basis.

But let's face it... Keg Party is what it is. You should embrace its identity, regardless of whether or not it was your intention...

Darktalyn1

I know you built it. But I'm the one who owns it :oops: :lol: Seriously though, Keg is not a plasma level. Not even close. I would put plasma near the bottom of my list for what I would choose to fight with in Keg. 1. MD 2. Vauss 3. Fusion 4. Quad Supers 5. Plasma 6. Other laser assortments (quad bl...

Darktalyn1

Nice work Sicky

Darktalyn1

You must be joking... 1) MD gives 10 shots. Even without ammo, that's enough for 3 kills. Or, if you're playing against Phoenix you can stretch it out for 2 hits + a vauss tap and get 4 kills out of it. 2) There's definitely more than 1 MD available. Likely cause powerups are randomized but that's h...
