Tuesday on a Friday

[Phenom]

I don't have much luck with female Quakers

Remember "She who shan't be named"?

[Tuesday]

Who is she who shan't be named? O.O

Yeah, I'm curious now!

I call bullshit. We used to have a ton of female online players. Including one you trained in CA, who was definitely in the top 40%.

[I'm thinking the evil female Quake player you refer to was Paradise, who was pretty formidable and then suffered some sort of extreme meltdown in the forums. I even quit as an admin for a couple of weeks because I was one of her close personal friends and she kept insisting I ban someone she hated but couldn't beat in DM and kept owning her. I don't do that kind of thing and me quitting as admin make her berserk with anger.]

We lost the female players at the same time we lost all the other "normal people" due to a crappy lack of consistent cross-server administration at the time. I will not say more and no I don't mean a recent name, we used to have 5-6 really antisocial players (abusive scumbags) who no one had any empathy for back in the "Wild Wild West" days but as server administration was fragmented those losers always had a place to play and kept alienating our new player base.

Nevermind I don't want to know. Not interested in self loving cry baby b** err... annoying ladies who.. yeah just never mind. Don't wanna know xD

[FragBait]

Keep practicing because, I see alot of skill potential when i've played against you in shmack.. I'm no where near the best im average on a good day. A few things people told me to do while practicing is learn the maps backward and forward know where everything spawns on each map, and with the lightning gun to aim it at a point on a wall or item and strafe around trying to keep the lightning beam on the same spot the whole time for practice, and to always shoot infront of people with the rockets and not directly at them because they will run into it. Oh and Welcome to Quake

Yeah I was thinking the same thing when I played with her... reminds me of when I started on Deadzone and Widomaker when I was 12.

Also, yay! Female gamers! I just knew Hypno and surfer girl weren't the only ones! =D

Didn't know about hypno, guess you learn something new every day.

I should have left her where I found her. Along with Solecord.

Feels like she was really better off where she was.

Though she could have been much better, I could tell.

To bad she self destructed into a million pieces.


Tuesday, you can play Quake whenever you want, Girls are obviously allowed to play Quake as long as they follow the rules like everyone else has to.

I suggest you MOD hop and don't get settled into one specific MOD, because then you will whined up like the rest where they're good at one mod but can't find their nose on another mod.

Goodluck on your RuneQuake games, feel free to join us on Clan Arena(CA/CAX) sometime, we're team-based and love to frag!


P.S

My momma didn't tell me girls aren't allowed to play Quake and I don't feel girls shouldn't play Quake, they're actually more fun to Quake with then some others as they usually don't carry the "macho-man" attitude and I've only seen 1 female talking trash on Quake in a LONG while.. Maybe because i only know of one other female Quaker (Gothiccandy a.k.a Gothic). there are more but I just don't know them or have any interaction with them since the only play RuneQuake or Single player.

But yeah, RuneQauke CAN be fun, it's just not as strategically oriented as DM or CAX since you tend to focus on which rune you have that can cause the most un-direct damage(deathspots, radioaxtive clouds, BFG? BFG-mini rockets etc etc etc.. It's super noobie friendly but if you're looking for the big leagues then RQ isn't the spot. It's really up to you and wherever you end up playing I just hope you have a good time and plan on staying with us!

I actually wish people played regular DM more. Everyone says RuneQuake is more challenging but I disagree. It's all about picking up the right rune and grappling everywhere. To me DM is more challenging because of actually having to get to the power ups in the map the way your meant to, you have a reason to bunny hop and rocket jump.

Would love to relive my Quake 64 DM days on computer but not many people play regular DM anymore ;-;

I'd play DM, I use to play all kinds of mods from PainKeep to Capture the scrag to Slide<- I've also been playing Quake since August 17th 1996 and like to think while I might not be the best player, I do know my sh!t.

There isn't much real competition type play in the main stream Quaker's day but if you look off to the sides of the community you'll find people setting up their own events.

My main mod these days is Clan Arena (rage.quakeone.com,speaknow.quakeone.com) no downloads necessary, connect and play, since I play for fun I don't see need to re-learn DM to compete in a higher level then "leisurely" playing.

I'll jump on a fav server if i see someone else and I have time to spend.

Also I suggest you watch out for my axe.

CRMOD is as close to regular DM as you're gonna get. quake.crmod.com is a popular server for this, but there are others. Check the quakeone front page and look at the server browser to see what's going on.

Quoting to re-emphasize Phenom's point.

Different mods will give you different experiences and prepare you overall in general to be a better player and to be able to compete (if you're looking that far ahead).

RQ will give you free kills and you won't get better unless you really, truly try. It's too easy to just stand there and grenade spam. But if you can go into RQ and incorporate runes, grappling like a spider monkey, and techniques such as rocket and grenade jumping, bunny hopping, etc, you'll be all over the place lighting up the whole server.

CAx it is! list below!

All I can say is when I met Tuesday on Schmack, I knew the Quake gods were still alive and well....! (whew !) When they give, we need to give back, so I began thinking of a kool Quake Nick for her.

Tues, you rock girl - go go go go go go go go


(go!)

[Tuesday]

Rawr thankies Cobalt =D


Been digging around at mods and other servers and then I started getting a fawking cold yesterday >.>

As of today I feel like complete shite so... if anyone wonders why I'm sucking at Quake more than usual today... its because i have a BRAIN CLOUD!!


Yeah, those ARE real.

[Cobalt]

Brain cloud...never heard that one before, but I think I had something like that on and off for a while the last few weeks cos I was really really addicted to playing quake and working on my server and started neglecting myself.

My little weekend vactaion sure took care of it though...got one of my old friends back now for a long time I hope, and we both made lots of new friends too.

[Syluxguy28O3]

i suppose 1 more quaker cant hurt the cause......

(turkey dripping with gravy, with mashed potatoes on the side.....yum.)
