    That explain your questions?

    Stop bashing veterans just because they play better then you -- some are jerks, yes, but not all. Certainly, most of them aren't in the habit of pretending to speak some foreign language to **** off annoying pubbers who go "OMG, you didn't do any actual work to get veteran status!!!11one"

    Im not bashing veterans.

    It is a KNOWN fact that the majority of the non-english speakers that lame and spoil games in my local servers are actually clanners or regular pubbers who are using different wonids.

    They also tend to regularly boast about their latest "laming" in the servers.

    Same. Thank god for the last bit.
    You could say there's this "nonspeaking teamwork" personas that are part of the other types... which basically means, that(like today) me & this other marine hear a gorge plop a building while we are checking around EQ. Sounds like he's in the vent! We go there to shoot the gorge, but... uh, we cant get up. So without saying a word, I crouch and let the other guy jump up on me so he can shoot the gorge.
    That happened <b>twice</b> today. I'm blown away by the teamwork in some servers, at some times of the day.

    The marine that constantly suicides during an alien attack in hopes of telefragging them, while half the team is dead...

    The Lounge Singer - Constantly spams voicecom with absolutely horrible renditions of popular songs. Prefers to sing Britney Spears, but will dabble in just about every musicial genre. When they're on their game they can ad lib the lyrics to reference events in the game. This freestyle works especially well when they're in the Comm Chair. Can help improve team morale, but totally hoses the voice comm and sometimes leaves your fellow marines helpless with laughter. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->

    You are forgetting one.

    The philosopher: Sits around and engages other players in highly intelligent conversations. Possible topics include the meaning of life, the existence of god and whether the onos is unbalanced. These conversations are done over voice chat and render it impossible for anyone else including the comm to get a word in. They may or may not be good players, but their mind is definitely not on the game.

    I tend to follow orders. However, when I disagree with something the comm is doing, I usually don't follow orders (the ones I disagree with, such as going into an alien hotspot alone)

    I'm an okay shot (can kill skulks if their somewhat zig zagging or running straight at me, berserk go everywhere skulks are the ones I can't handle.) Usually able to find the "sweet spot" on an Onos. (The hitbox) Tries not to waste equipment.

    Tends to sing.

    Good comm, when I'm lucky. And when I have good soldiers. Very concerned about how the marines think of my comming.

    "Agent Snake: Die monkies."

    I fit largley into "Good soldier" I cant fight that well, and I dont know many of the maps amasingle (despite how long ive been playing - all NS maps seem like mazes to me) but I do follow orders, except when the Comm is obviously useless. I also "Smart Alec" quite a bit, telling the comm what I think he should do (largely along the line of "Build X here!" "NOW!" "HELLO, SOME HELP PLEASE" or "I can see a huge gap in the turret defences" "We have loads of res, do some upgrades and weps")
    I also occasionally take on a "sergeant" role - I shout at a bunch of marines until they follow me, take them somewhere useful and make it clear what they should be doing (and to the commander as to what Im taking this 2-4 to do), then get killed but watch as the Marines finally work for the good of the team.

    The only time it's hard to spot a cloaked skulk is if you are running full speed. Otherwise, its easy to spot one.

    I see no reason to classify people. Everyone has a diverse play style which is in no way the same as someone else's. They may be similar but its next to impossible to truly tell what 'group' to place them in.

    You can rate skill, but you cannot rate play style <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> **Only after strenious playtime with someone do you begin to account playstyle*

    I think I'd fall under the good soldier category. I'm no vet for sure, but fairly good. I'll follow orders and give suggestions if the comm missed something, and if fades rush our base i'm not afraid to go and gun them down. (Like so many rines out there. Fades aren't THAT hard to take down even with lvl 1 lmg's if there are a couple rines around.)

    If its endgame I rambo sometimes. (Only if I have no HA or weapons.) I chase after big aliens that are retreating, but I always bring another rine or two, so I guess it's not ramboing really. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I actually change "type" depending on what commander I have..

    When I feel the comm has everything under control I just follow my waypoints, when I think my comm is competent but a bit newbish I wonder around a bit but still follow my waypoint and when my comm is obviously a nubcaek (I don't hold that against him, everybody start out as a nubcaek) or the aliens are nubcaekes, I wonder around (rambo/ninja) and look for my own opportunities and tell my comm when I found something interesting.
  • spetznatzspetznatz Join Date: 2003-11-11 Member: 22472Members
    There's another one.

    The Justifier - This is an average player that feels everyone else in the server is watching and judging them every step of the way. If they aren't on the top of the scoreboard on aliens, they'll act like an ****, if they're on the top they'll "direct" the team and talk down to all their teammates, but in a sort of friendly way.

    They believe that your worth = how many kills you have, and they'll never gorge or do anything on marines that doesn't lead to potential kills. They're called the justifier because every time they die they have to type a sentence explaining to everyone why they died. "arg, gang raped" "damn, reload kill" "****, had parasite out" "grrr, no adren left" etc etc as if everyone in the server cares about their performance.

    Another type would be <b>lagger</b>s: Someone who has 300+ ping. These are usually veterans and will either command or gorge for aliens. Somewhat useful in battle, but still much worse than non-lagger veterans.

    Reply to lagger: It does take time to learn a person's playstyle, but there are certain similarities in playstyles which can be assigned into major groups. As said before, a person may even switch from group to group being a veteran at one point and then becoming the contaversial asian. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I love to berserk unless it's pointless and fun no longer.. in which case I resemble the vet more. If it's a team and commander I truly respect or else I feel is in danger that I can correct then I will be more of a team player. Otherwise they do their thing, and I do mine, whether or not it is the same as theirs.

    Dude,

    Hunty is singaporean, and I'm willing to bet that he's Chinese, as most Singaporeans are. Koreans, vietnamese, japanese, singaporeans ... all asian... one big rice bowl....k? He's not making a racist comment. How would you feel if a couple redneck clowns start spamming the voice com with their country hick gibberish? That's what he's talking about... Singaporeans who speak english perfectly well, but choose to adopt some strange Chinese accent to come across like their some foreign noob...when all they want to do is disrupt the game.

    He's not taking anything away from the pro's either... it's just that some pro's, ESPECIALLY here in Singapore, have this I-am-better-than-you mentality...and will resort to **** lame moves/comments just to **** with the ppl who are trying to play a decent game. Singapore has a very unusual gaming culture... you should come on our servers some time... noobs who want to be a heros...CS and TF and DOD players who think NS is to be played that way.....pros who derive their self esteem from gaming talents, and think they are god..... it's mayhem.
  • LastLast Join Date: 2003-10-06 Member: 21463Members
    I don't know of any official NS singaporean leagues, nor of any asian clans at all, and I'm sure none of them are veterans. Stereotyping a bunch of people on the internet also is a dumb thing to do, especially because your internet personality does not always truly reflect your personality IRL.
