Page : <1> :


1) If you have the scrum and have managed to swerve past, dodge, zig-zag through, and out maneuver your opponents, the scrum will be stolen by a bot.

2) If you have the scrum and you manage to survive an unbelievable run across the map while smoking heavily, you will be killed just outside the goal by a bot (darn you HUM).

3) If you think no one could possibly intercept you before scoring a goal, someone will.

4) If a group of good players have been battling hard for a goal for more than 3 minutes, either

A) the scrum will get knocked out of bounds,

Or

B) a Demo or a bot will score.

5) When you think you've finally managed to out maneuver all your opponents to score a goal, you won't (didn't you read #3, or if it has been more than 3 minutes #4).

6) When you think it would be beneficial to grab a power-up, it will always be a Bounce Back power-up.

7) If you try to perform clever shots with a Bounce Back power-up (e.g.. Off the tree, around the rocks, and over the hill) you will kill yourself.

8) When an Area Effect power-up would be useful, you can't find one (refer to #6). When you do get an Area Effect power-up you no longer need it and it will do more harm to yourself than your opponents.

9) When you desperately need a Heal power-up, someone will kill you just inches from one.

10) If someone keeps BMing you and you try to return fire or defend yourself, you will be the one accused of BMing.

Anybody else have any to add? I know there's a lot more.

Frankly I rather have bounce power-up then speed. I want powerups that allow me to be innaccurate, instead of having to be accurate.

1. THe best runs will allways be ruined by a goal spawn

2. WHen someone cliff hangs near death, and dies, he will re-spawn next to the scrum

3. The boost arrow you need for a get-away always is pointed toawrds you

This should go into Tactics

Re point #9: Hearing the words "Heal Powerup!" as your corpse skids through it...

Backing up towards the goal and hit a jump pad or arrow......or rock, tree, crystal, carcuss, tally, etc...well actually ANYTHING that gets between me and the goal!!

If you are enjoying a good game with good competition, some idiot will soon join.

Whenever I need to concentrate most, Mrs. PEST will always want to ask me something.

Here are a few rip offs of a couple actual laws of physics! (And a few Murphy's laws')

1)A tank at rest stays at rest untill the scrum passes in front of it

2)A tank in motion stays in motion untill another tank in motion rams it.

3)The particles of the scrum do not have attractive forces to the particles of the ground.

4)"""""""" particles of the goal.

5)"""""""" particles of a tank.

6)The particles of the scrum have attractive forces to the particles of the fog.

Murphy's laws!

7)If a pad appears to be facing in the proper direction, it isn't.

8)Passing a pad appearing to be in the wrong direction would have rocketed you into the goal.

9)Buying Orbz will result in a person leaving Thinktanks.

Killing Hanksta near the goal will result in him respawning in the goal.

Good stuff. Here are of mine...

You will have games where you will get shot down just as you are about to score a goal, perhaps a few times!!!

You will swear that you broke the plain of the goal, but there you lie in a smoking heap and the flag bouncing around.

You will spawn inside a goal and someone will bump into you with the flag and you get credit for the goal and then you will be labeled a camper for the rest of the game!!! Argh!!!

You will make a beautiful run for the goal and without even smoking somehow get shot down just before the goal!

No warning message about health status, no smoke...just a shocking, immediate death! (How does that happen?)

You will have entire games where every break goes against you and you can't even buy a goal (even the obligatory freebies avoid you)!

However, there will be games where everything goes your way (freebies a plenty, lucky bounces during mass battles at the goal, every arrow points your way, bots kill opponents for you for easy walk in goals, etc.)

You will get harrassed at some point by some idiot named Demo (Attack).

Ah, it's good to see a thread like this! Thanks MonkeeMan!

1) When you team up with some of the best players in the league, your personal skill will suddenly drop to that of a drunk Demo.

2) If you're shooting skills are exceptional in a certain game, you'll find that you'll always lose the scrum. If you are doing good at maneuvering with the Scrum, you'll find that you wouldn't be able to hit a heavy in the open while standing still at close range.

3) As soon as you get a reputation, you will have to play at least 2 hours a night, or your skills will drop below that of your reputation. ("WTF? I thought you were good!")

And, my personal favorite:

4) <In Frantic Slug Team Scrum> You mid-air steal the scrum, dodge multiple area-effect weapons, grab two rotating speed-pads to ditch the enemy, conduct a beautiful kill upon the enemy camper, sprint to the open goal…

…and get killed by a friggin volcano meteor.

You are on the other side of the map of the scrum and goal and you fly off a boost your in front of everyone and the flag is right there in front of the goal and there is somebody behind you your smoking your gonna get the flag and it hops over you and the person behind you get it and scores

Pray to GOD for him to reveal himself to you.

-diving with the scrum will result in spawning with the scrum

-whenever one team is about to score and they leave one person alive because they think he will be no trouble, he'll manage to steal and score.

-whenever your teammate is far away from all possible opponents and about to score, your BMing ways manage to kill an opponent thus spawning him at the goal, which in turn causes your teammate to lose the scrum.

-the winning team at the final 10 seconds of the game will always stall

So, is it beneficial to be a bot in this game then?

 

1) If you have the scrum and have managed to swerve past, dodge, zig-zag through, and out maneuver your opponents, the scrum will be stolen by a bot .

2) If you have the scrum and you manage to survive an unbelievable run across the map while smoking heavily, you will be killed just outside the goal by a bot (darn you HUM).

4) If a group of good players have been battling hard for a goal for more than 3 minutes, either

A) the scrum will get knocked out of bounds,

Or

B) a Demo or a bot will score.

Thanks for the nice words. I know I am a crazy fighter for the scrum.

You don't have to let go of one rope before grabbing the other. But you'll have to let go of one if you want to swing forward.

Tuesday, July 25, 2006 at 3:22:15 AM

Well... Nice year and half bump by Big Show... Ehe. But I will go with it.

I will tend to disagree with #6 and #7... I do well with bounce, haha. :P These are pretty funny. XD

I use multi-billion dollar military satellites to find tupperware hidden in the woods... What do YOU do?
