Annoy things dm players do...

[soh]

#1 Get in the fucking way!

What the fuck is wrong with these guys? Trying to impress great players like Optica, but try too hard and end up blowing each other up. My frustration is killing me

What's #2?

[[BTF]Sigma]

#2 Rail me mid rocket jump "You weren't meant to be prepared, man!"

I have posted this before, but ...

When your in a battle and you have your opponent 90% dead and someone comes in and kills them and you.

Moo?

[peewee_RotA]

When people try as hard as possible to win while the rest of the players are obviously just screwing around. (Usually ends in people quitting instead of trying any harder)

[haunted]

ummm..

peewee, the only time I've seen you play ffa, you were crouching at invuln. on dm3 with a rg, waiting to rail people who climb up the frag pipe ladder to rail them for nearly the entire duration of the map.

that being said, the definition of "screwing around" / "having fun" and "people trying as hard as possible to win" is subjective. Personally, I can't see how ANYONE would want to waste their time doing what I saw you do, the only time I ever took notice of you on an ffa server.

I know you're one of those guys who places high emphasis on having fun, but you equally possess bias of what YOU THINK qualifies someone as a try-hard/nerd/care-hard/etc. From my pov, you're the one who doesn't get it.. I could be completely joking around on the dm server and have you convinced that I was trying my hardest/a nerd/whatever

When I'm trying to rail a completely motionless Mexican noob and they move an inch at the last second avoiding my rails 100% of the time. I remember some Mexican kept moving like that and killed me with a blaster while I had a rail. I ragequit so hard.

UMAD?


Vanilla was either cleared out, or stuck on a really crappy string of maps. I'm talking more about vanilla. The distinction between a "Deathmatch" server and an "FFA" server only exists in Tastyspleen. So pardon my misunderstanding of the topic.

But still. Camping the invul and having no chance on earth of ever getting a high score is screwing around. Playing nades only is screwing around. That "Frags Ain't Skillz" guy who doesn't use chain or quad is screwing around. On a similar note, ToxicMonkey spending an hour doing nothing but jumps on Mutant is screwing around.

Trying to control a map with rail/chain combo when everyone else in the server is using nades only is just trying too hard. To take the topic further, the idiot who thinks it's fun playing as hard as possible when everyone else has gone cow and is trying to find new jumps is obviously not challenging himself. He's settling for an easy win. Although that may seem fun, it's stupid and it makes him a worse player.

Anyone can make these distinctions, that still doesn't make it someone's fault because he/she isn't utilizing the server how YOU want them to, lmao. As I said, I think sitting at invuln and railing people that walk up a ladder is a stupid way to utilize your time on a server... but why would any sane person make judgment calls with their own style based on that? People join the dm server to do what they want to do, and whether toxicmonkey is practicing jumps or not, they're still going to do it. It's all how you perceive it, and it sounds like to me that you're just bitter that YOUR style, and YOUR way of "having fun on the server" doesn't give you the gratification of a win. Maybe it's people like YOU, daframen, and toxicmonkey that care a little too much? The person who is ONLY using quad chain and BFG could be screwing around, lmao, and they might even be screwing around for the sole purpose of watching these said people whine. Just because you're completely clueless to it, doesn't mean everyone else is. and just as I said, I could thoroughly convince you that I'm "trying too hard" while completely joking around due to your silly preconceived notions.

You can pretend you're all in it for fun and everyone else are try-hards only for the win, but you'll still be the guy who does bad, and is a complainer.

the dm server isn't the "practice jump" server. Just because someone doesn't alter their playstyle in accordance with people practicing jumps(what moron practices jumps when they have a good chance of getting hit / messing up?), it doesn't mean that he/she is at fault. The fact that you place blame on someone for not doing this, shows that you care a little too much about it. The whole concept of fun in q2 seems to be a foreign concept to you, maybe you should just find a new hobby.

I take it you've met mr turoks?

[Arm0r]

peewee--if you and all of the quake flunkies around you don't consider score then why get mad when others do?  You don't care about winning but think those who do are ruining your fun?  Stand by your word, because if you did you wouldn't care if someone is hitting the frag limit.

Necro quote.  Still applicable it seems.

A 300 ping mexican noob will ALWAYS win in a close-combat rail fight.

campers who steal my spot

[Zeppelin]

InsaneMercenary crouched on dm3 rail elevator.
Cows like Milky, kill a banker, etc throwing nades from dm3 invul
the sommlier (aka tortamilanesa) crouched on dm3 mega ladder the whole time with a rail

despite all these dm3 campers, its still my dm favourite map 

cows camping RL and GL on dm5, although i never go there , since chaingun, RA and Rail are enough

people who waste their time on dm8 to get BFG
