I don't care that you never liked me, never have I cared, nor does it matter. My "vote" and voice counts as I have been a part and contributed quite a bit to this community. You don't have any idea of the number or names of people I've taught, whether or not it's by working with them from the very beginning of changing resolutions/hotkeys, some reading guides I've made over the years, watching my games, even being given one or two tips. You saying something moronic like "everyone you've trained failed hard", as if someone has to be near decent to have a good experience learning and playing ts, clearly demonstrates how negative of a perspective you have. Also, my points are all valid. I still play and will be until September.

It doesn't matter that I'm leaving, that doesn't make TS yours or anyone else's to mess with for everyone else. I still care about this game, which is why I've spent an immeasurable amount of time teaching so many players for YOU, mola, and the rest of the community to play with after I'm gone. Nothing you said is a sensible response to what I pointed out; if you and the people wanting to make changes want to play with your veteran upgrades, cool, make your own mod or set your ffgs and do so. Also glad to see you back mjvd :). (Sidenote: i completely forgot/miss cactuar)

I was questioning if sams in general shot further, because bm was gdi, yes, it seemed as if it shot further but it wasn't a 100% matter of fact thing, but I guess that's not the case. Regardless, that's not what I'm concerned with.

I've already said everything I've had to say for the most part three times over in the past. But I will address the fact that you, Humble, said that I'm stubborn or close-minded, suggested doubling nod's power, and said sam site range is upgraded, when in fact I'm neither close-minded and never said either of those. What I SUGGESTED probably 3-4 months ago, when you all were trying to yet again change the way ts has fundamentally been for the past 20 years, was if I were to mod my own version of ts with any balance updates, I would ENTERTAIN the idea of reducing nod's power plant costs by $100, so a standard pp would be $200, and an adv pp would be $400, which is a slight change, but possibly enough so to allow nod to have extra time to make other defensive structures, being that nod has no early powerful defensive structures (gdi's rpg), in order to compensate for the need to pop out additional static defense. But yet again, this was nothing but an idea for MY OWN MOD if i were to ever make one, and not force it upon everyone else. The thing that those of you feeling the need to make alterations dont understand is, none of you have the "right" to make a game that's been the same way for years suddenly different. You are not the creators, this isn't your game, and as much as you think you know what needs to be done to improve it (balance changes, veteran changes, whatever aside from obvious game glitches/errors) it is your opinion. TS isn't any more your game than any other player, whether they pick it up tomorrow or someone who's been playing much longer than you. If you want to set your own games with these maps that you created and try to influence others to do the same, fine, but make sure it doesn't affect the ladder, which should be impartial to anybody's preferences (aka unaltered, regular maps).

not into games that have fps attributes, unfortunately

The time has come for me to finally leave this game. It's at a point in it's life cycle where I don't care to be playing anymore, for more reasons than one. I've enjoyed playing with a lot of you and hope to play a bit with some of you before the end of the month. Best of luck to cncnet and all the quality individuals I've met in my decades of being here. -c0rpsmakr (Joe)

2 standard forest fires games ive had where i 1 reffed and took out a few main buildings allowed me to get a dis that is capable of 1 shotting a building from a distance, as I've said. The alterations to veteran status allow this, and I'm highly annoyed by a few people being able to alter the state of the game for the entirety of ts. I've expressed this before, but this is far too much.

I've had multiple games in the last 2-3 days where my disruptor kills 3-4 main buildings and then gains the ability to 1 shot main buildings from a distance, that is absurd and shouldn't happen.

Mods, please remove the irrelevant posts from this topic so it doesn't get derailed into a spiral of bullshit, thanks. I was in the poll with the map choices, but it didn't say that the maps included were veteran maps. When a disruptor upgraded can 1 shot a main building from a distance, no, veteran units are not fine. No unit should be able to be that powerful, or even an mk/cc 3 shotting a building.

Here's a question that I have for whomever is responsible for the ladder map choices- being that there is exactly 10 map rejections allowed, and exactly 10 maps with these shitty veteran additions, you have forced players to decide between allowing skewed mods (mods like giants of war, grays 3v3 with excessive alterations to either power, income, or the tiberium field) and playing these vet maps. Now, being that I was never asked if I was okay with any of these changes, nor do I recall any topic or announcement being made to inquire about community input regarding putting veteran maps on the ladder, who decided it was okay to have so many included without the option to NOT play them?

The idiocy that you two demonstrate continues to amaze me. Nothing more to say in such a clearly productive thread.

The same people played the ladder on 23509235235 logs, that is the only difference. Since people cant act like clowns and hide on 40 names and relog, it appears that there is less activity. That is literally the ONLY difference. And being that probably 40-50% of the ladder consisted of two-three peoples' names (who haven't been on the past few days), naturally the participation is going to drop. There weren't a whole lot of people playing before. Let's not bullshit.

Yes, blame me for the changes. i knew when and how alterations would be implemented by the admins. It is my fault that people can't abuse the ladder anymore. What logic

wow. get on ts larry

My complaint, which still stands, is when people who are on high ranked logs switch off once they know they're at risk of losing, in underhanded attempts to take points from others using another low ranking log. I have had 2 logs on the ladder in the entirety of the month, and I used ONE of them until I created a second one 2 days ago. I am not logging in back and forth when I'm at risk of losing, I stay consistently on one log when im playing the ladder. I can't make my point any more clear.

These narratives you create, Jesus Christ. Not going down this spiral. All I'm going to say is TS is better off without you.

Listen clown, I have 2 logs on the ladder, literally 2. Just because you don't know them when they're made doesn't mean I'm doing the underhanded twattery that you and another player do to impact ladder results. That's the difference.

O rly ogre

TRZ, you are a prime example of the toxicity that myself and others have spoken about. Literally ONE sentence of that entire post is relevant, and the rest is used to talk garbage. There is 0 reason to respond to you other than this, as you and he both have nothing objective/factual to say and only speak of your wins/skew situations to be favored to yourselves. Your foul character has plagued the community from your early cheating days (strike team is still up, it wouldn't be hard to look up the numerous reports of you) up until now, and you always will find a way to bring negativity to any discussion or attempt at increasing participation/activity. Check your post history, what is the percentage of the time that you actually contribute anything relevant or productive to the topic? I get on this game maybe every week and a half or two weeks to enjoy myself, and every time I come back to disgusting characters like you and mola finding ways to further the degradation of what's left of this game, and you two's insistence on proving that you're the most elite players ever are rather tiresome. I'll happily play either of you with any number of people watching, since your mouths have always been bigger than your capabilities. Absolutely nothing is gained from speaking with you, and never has been, and won't ever be, so consider this the last time I will ever address you and your continued antics. You will not get any further attention from me, so savor this moment.

My log clearly is one of the top pts logs, and has been, bullshit detected. I'm not going to be trolled into replying to the rest of the irrelevant drivel that you continue to post. Mods, can we please fix this issue with smurf logs on the ladder? As well as enforcing warnings/bans for accounts that derail topics or solely use the forums to talk trash. The forum has become a cesspool, is this the sort of content you want players seeing when they try playing ts for the first time?

calling 1 reffing with a harv bomb (the only thing you can do to scrape a win) is "wrecking" vs someone who plays far less frequently than you is the mark of a moron, then proceeding to get on 2 more logs with no points after getting off your main that i was "farming noob pts" from, you do the same lame shit. Using more than 1 log isn't "tactical", it's deceitful, which seems to be a characteristic shared by you and the remaining pool of players now. the ladder doesn't accurately represent what its intended to (skill/effort in playing many matches) if fools like yourself try to slither in on 3450 logs just to try and take pts off other people. and you don't see issue with it, or other underhanded gimmicks that you pull, but once a cheat always a cheat i guess. In no other rts is one of the units that's used to mine resources capable of destroying a main building, and having such an obscenely strong unit that squishes base defenses and can't be attacked without losing a main building so early is ludicrous (getting one in someones base before even a 4th ref can be completed), and the fact that you resort to it and call it owning like you actually did something to control/actually outplay your opponent speaks to your own inadequacy. I realize that I posted this off topic, but this will be the last time i do so, to follow up on mola's derailment, that's all.

Yet another possibly productive topic derailed by trz' moronic lies and unrelated bullshit. Might as well close or the mods should do a better job of moderating.... Why is there such an abundance of inflammatory and irrelevant commentary allowed on these forums?

Can we actually make it to where people cant get on smurf logs for the ladder in attempts to take points off of others with higher pts without risking their own on higher ranked logs? There will always be someone (mola/trz) that will attempt to win the ladder by cheap methods like this.... seriously one log is enough to participate in the ladder.

Almost exactly what I said in my first few comments in this thread.

Can we make it to where people can't have more than x number of names on the ladder per month? That way people can't be trying to snipe points off others using smurf logs, instead of having to risk their logs with high numbers of points. Also, we need to relabel these airfix maps, because i just died thinking it was TL VS BR, when in fact it was BL vs BR. These names have to be redone...
