Also, Spiff, Brawl is faster than Pokemon, at least give me that

I know, I'm just giving you a hard time.

Edit: I think the real fun of competitive pokemon comes when you don't run well known teams but makes your own. Unfortunately, today you need to be very well versed to come up with a unique team that doesn't get slaughtered by one or two very common threats.

Thanks man! I'm finally able to re-organize the boards there and rally the troops to get an Ike guide done. Our stickied threads in particular needed serious re-arranging, so everyone's happy about that.

Edit: *Infracts Raz for double post*

/toomuchpowah

I though it was not considered a double post if there is more than 24 hours between posts. Am I wrong?

 

[Lythium]

Posting consecutively is double posting, which is considered spamming, regardless of time elapsed.

 

[Syko_Lemming]

I must be thinking of a different set of boards.

 

[Raziek]

Lol'd at the Magikarp sweep. Also, Brawl Minus until 5 AM was too fun.

 

[Nysyarc]

Brawl Minus until 5 AM was too fun.

Agreed, plenty of lols were had.

"Huh huh huh huh huhnnnggg"

"I'M COMING!"

Lol, teamwork.

 

[Spaceman_Spiff]

Read that from the perspective of someone who wasn't there...

 

[Lythium]

That's how I read it.

 

[Raziek]

That's how it was intended to be read, as that was the joke at the time. xD

 

[victra♥]

oh hey, sup Nysyarc. Nice to see more canadians in the staff.

and don't worry about double posts in the igloo kids. We're in a social room with post count disabled, and its a petty little thing.

As long as you guys don't over do it then it's perfectly fine with me.

/POLEECE

 

[Nysyarc]

Can never have enough Canadians in the staff imo, we're too good. You guys just got told by the poleece...

...

...that you can pretty much do whatever.

 

[Lythium]

'Sup, Victra? :3c

 

[Spaceman_Spiff]

Anyone looking for an entertaining read should check out the "Wobbling Compromise" thread in melee discussion. It's hilarious how badly the anti-wobbling crowd is getting destroyed. I particularly like the jiggs rest analogy, which is new to me.

 

[camden]

Reminds me of the MK discussion.

 

[Raziek]

I looked at that briefly. From what I understand, it's really no different than regular ICs infinites, right? Maybe I'm mis-informed, but it certainly doesn't look like something that is very bannable.

 

[Spaceman_Spiff]

Well, its the ICs only infinite in melee, and the only one in the game that works on the whole cast.

I can't claim to understand brawl, but it seems to me the MK ban argument would at least have the justification that the strategy (read: character) actually IS dominating the metagame, which wobbling clearly isn't.

What is so funny about the thread in question is that pro-ban crowd are stuck on the idea that wobbling is some kind of instant gift of a stock off any grab, which is far from true.

This discussion wouldn't be happening if wobbling involved more than tapping a, but difficultly is irrelevant.

 

[Raziek]

Too true. You don't ban something just because it's easy. If it is within human capabilities, SOMEONE will perfect it.

 

[camden]

Tis true. So,

Can't wait for Saturday!

 

[Spaceman_Spiff]

Biweelkly this saturday? If I went would there be melee players around? Colin, where you at? Nick, Parker? Others?

 

[Raziek]

Honestly, I have no idea what happened to Colin. Last I heard from him was right after his last exam, then he set his MSN name to "brb, summer", and I haven't seen him since. He SAID he was planning on going to the biweekly, but I don't know if I'd count on it. I don't think we'll even have room for melee anyway, since we'll probably have a bigger turnout than usual thanks to summertime.

 

[Lythium]

I just wanted to let you guys know that if our group keeps growing at the rate it does, we might have to figure out something new in terms of projector ratio.

Not right now, but soon.

 

[Raziek]

Yeah, this could be a minor problem if the attendance gets too big on the Smash front. We'll see how many we get this Saturday and go from there.

 

[MALCORE]

how big are your turnouts?

i think there might be a nice sized smash-fest this friday i'm going to and i'm so rusty. get-togethers around here are less frequent and organized as NS, but i think one dood wants to pick up the slack.
i'll prolly be around on wifi at night time.

 

[Lythium]

Like I said, it's not a problem yet. But if we start getting as many people as we did for the tournament showing up on our side, then it's going to get problematic.

 

[Nysyarc]

Is a new venue a viable option if we start getting too many people? All I know is that one time we had like 17+ entrants it was veeery crowded in the Gamestore, and it doesn't help that the whole interior is like a big hallway instead of an actual open room.

It's fine for under 16 people but if we're gonna be having consistently more than that, we may need to see if a new venue is do-able.

Well, Adam's hosting us for free, so a new venue would mean we'd have to hike the entry fee to include venue, and then we'd be into hosting full-blown tourneys.

We'll take it as it comes, I guess.

 

[Nysyarc]

I'll bring cookies to the next bi-weekly and give them to anyone who knows what my new Avvy and title are from.

 

[Raziek]

Well, ****, there goes my attempt at it. All google gives me are dental appliances, and I have no idea. xD Looks vaguely reminiscent of the Arrakoa from World of Warcraft, though.

 

[Nysyarc]

World of Warcraft

Ew, no way. That game was terrible for so many reasons.

It is from a PC video game though, a slightly older one (late 90s). The title and image are from the same game but not related. And yah you won't find much on google, you pretty much have to recognize it, lol.

If like, five more people guess wrong I'll just tell you guys. I'd be pretty disappointed though, this game was a classic IMO.

 

[camden]

Diablo??? Just a guess.

 

[Nysyarc]

Nice, good game, and good guess. But no.

This has become more a cult game now, with only one very fervent but concentrated fan site.

 

[Croi]

Baldur's Gate?

 

[Rush 2112]

Hmm, the image is not from the game right? is it just art that was featured outside the game?

this is a fun challenge and i'm searching for the answer, let us guess! dont give the answer

just give vague clues haha


is it everquest?

*later that day
well if its not one of these then i give up :3

None of those.

pokemon?

Lol, nope.

Okay that's enough guessing, you really had to have played the game to recognize the picture or at least the art style. It's from Age of Wonders, a short series of turn-based strategy games, the first coming out in 1999 and being the best in the series IMO. My avvy is from the first game, it's the mugshot of a playable Hero in the game, and my title is actually the title of a different Hero.

No cookies for you guys, lol. But now that I mention the game have any of you heard of it?

Did you just Google "PC games of the '90s" or something?

 

[Rush 2112]

Did you just Google "PC games of the '90s" or something?

pretty much

those are some of the games that i played back then

 

[camden]

I have AoE Gold, but besides that I played different pc games in the 90's. More arcade style stuff.
