Don't play these guys

[rabidsnypr]

Don't play potken and krysa. They will team up on you everytime. They cant win one on one. They will make game a game and it will be just the 3 of you and they will team up on your everytime. They even do it in a 4 way match and they play bottle neck maps. people like grafaz and jacko need to teach them a lesson on teaming up.

Sure feels like XWIS in here.

No one cares, lol.

If you want to play FFA it always happens, if you play people who are friends, of course they're more likely to team up.

 

If you don't like that, just either play 1v1 or 2v2, simple

Or just become goo enough to take on 2 people! xD

And who's grafaz?

sounds like someone I need to play, haha.

But seriously who cares... today I played a guy that started on an open map with 3000 credits. He drove his base close to mine and then just engied my con (I'd gone 2 ref with low troops to get started). I just laughed. It was silly. I really don't care.

if in a 1v1 someone starts with 3000 credits I just take the risk and spam 14 million grenadiers. Because I can.

I considered it, and if I had, I would have won. But I've played people before that start with little cash, who are looking for a longer game (they start with less to draw it out). I decided to be nice and let him have his game. Turns out he just wanted a cheap win.

In a game with no ladder, I do question 'why?' and 'is this person really enjoying this?', but each to their own, I guess.

 

I also often like to play people who are a lot worse than me, and then give them pointers and tips, to help them get better.

Obviously, in this case, all that just goes out the window.

Its like people who start with huge amounts of cash

Its like "they clearly don't understand the economy of the game and want a clusterhell of crap"

and I'm just like Apache spam trololololololol.

[AchromicWhite]

Yeah, same here. I've had people then just say 'no flyers' as a result.

They often don't understand the unit match ups either. they build heaps of rocket men right away. You can walk in with like 3 grens and kill them all.

Unfortunately that basically does nothing, as losing units is no real issue when you have 99999999 credits

Yeah. the game either lasts 5 minutes or 5 hours. No fun at all.

Well I played with this guy who created a game with no superweapons (low tech level) and crates. Guess what, my base keeps getting hit by Ion canon every few minutes. I'm NOD and he was GDI. I just can't  figure out where that Ion canon came from. (I suspect it's a custom map that regularly has Ion canon hitting Nod players, particularly obelisks.)

[AchromicWhite]

No, I know that map. There's an unowned ion cannon on it. I think it's somehow connected to a civi building.

Yeah, it'll target things just like the normal Ion does, but I think that it will basically just keep targeting a 'random' player (actually, knowing cnc95 there's probably a formula for how it picks it, so it's not actually random).

 

Yes, it's stupid. More and more, I find that I'm only REALLY happy to host a game. Else just accept that there's probably going to be something stupid.

The civilian ion cannon comes from the so-called 'witchdoctor's hut' in the desert theatre (it has what looks like skulls on spikes around it). Just find that building and destroy it.

[AchromicWhite]

Thanks, I might do that, if I end up on that map.
