Newbie Anger...

[XMEN Wildchild]

Last night, while waiting for the practice, I was playing T1 with a few friends.<br><br>Playing Broadside, base of course...<br><br>This guy pops in and starts playing... name was Delian I think. (spelling) And when someone on his team aciddently hit him while doing after an enemy he started tking. His excuse... Newbie.<br><br>After a while I began to believe him. All he did was run around. Couldn't get back on the bases once he fell off. Not once did I see him jet up higher than a few feet.<br><br>Anyway, back to the story at hand...<br><br>I come flying out of their base with two hmad heavies after me for blowing up a good time they were having with some turrents. Mortars and disc's flying every way but the right way. I come launching out of the front of their base with a sliver of life left. Gravity hurts me at this point.<br><br>I am able to land without dieing, much to my surprise and pleasure. But who do I land mere feet from? Delian.<br><br>He starts shoot me with a chaingun that misses my ego by a mile. A short fight ensues and I frag him. Walk over his body and get a repair pack. HEHEH So I thank him. Not in a bad way, just say... "Thanks for the repair pack dude."<br><br>As soon as I get done typing... disc's are flying at me like fans at a Limp Bizkit concert. I immediatly had to go on the defensive. I end up spening my last 4 discs and able to kill him with a sliver of red showing for life. Before I could get to his body (which had a repair pack on it again by the way.) He comes swooping down like the Angel of Death on a holiday shopping spree.<br><br>We did this for about four more times, each time him getting so pissed that I killed him that he came swooping down after me. Needless to say, after fighting him that many times, I didn't have to worry about going back to the base to heal.<br><br>I ended up giving him a fe whints on how to conserve energy more and it was fine. But seeing someone get so pissed that I killed them with no life left was funny. <p><img src=http://www.angelfire.com/rpg/Hewdamia/i ... </p><i></i>

Not to hijack the thread, but this just seemed a good one to relate an experience I had the other night.<br><br>I'm a <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><b> very</b><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> paranoid heavy when I do indoor base D. I've gotten shocklanced all over the place, and have found many ways to counter it. Currently, a shield pack renders the shocklance pretty useless.<br><br>So, here I am guarding a remote, far away generator on a Siege map. I'm in heavy, shielded, because I'm expecting to go against <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> other</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> heavies. When, all of a sudden, I can just barely hear over the roaring wind the sound of a cloak pack. I don't have my back against the wall, and thus I <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><b> know</b><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> I'm about to get 'lanced in the back. I turn on the shield pack.<br><br>Sure enough, I hear the "CHOONK!" of the 'lance going off. As I was in third-person when it hit me, so I now know <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> exactly</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> where the cloaker is. I whirl around, totally unharmed, and blast him with a quick pair of plasma bolts.<br><br>Ensuing global chat:<br><br>"WTF!? I hit you square in the back! You shoulda been dead!"<br><br>"'Lancing heavies that are suited up for indoor work usually just pisses us off," I reply.<br><br>"Bull! You had to be cheating!"<br><br>"Fine then... come on back in and I'll waste you again, if you don't believe me."<br><br>So, I get set up again. This time, just for thrills, I packed along a jammer. The instant I heard footsteps or the cloak pack, I turned it on while freelooking around. Sure enough, he's right there, sneaking up behind me. I didn't even wait for him to shoot; I just turned around and shocklanced <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><b> him</b><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Ensuing global chat:<br><br>"WTF!! How did you see me?"<br><br>"Jammer pack. It's in the manual, just like the shield pack I was using earlier."<br><br>"But you shocklanced me!"<br><br>"Yep. Heavies can carry 'em too, you know. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> "<br><br>After that, I got him to listen, and taught him a few things about indoor combat. Was quite amusing, tho. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br> <p><BR><img src=http://home.earthlink.net/~ambushbugdtm/BugSig.jpg align=LEFT><BR>Member: DTM, XMEN, SeXy<BR>The Drunken ArtilleryBug!<BR>"Roj, target is *hic* <b>DAWWWG</b>-meat!"</p><i></i>

It's kind of funny. After that whole Steele Naved thingy, I spell people's names backwards just to see what comes out. Delian is nailed spelled backward if I'm not too dyslexic. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> I guess you nailed him a few times, eh?<br><br>Maybe next time, you could just say "Could anyone bring me a repair pack?" instead of sacrificing poor little newbies. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><IMG SRC="http://members.home.net/1ibcnya/slimer. ...
