Abend 2 was never one of my favorite levels, but I played it on occasion nevertheless. It's fun to fly a GL in the main room and practice avoiding all of the seconaries that pilots chuck from the tunnels, while dogfighting the brave ones who stay in the middle. Which is what III did all along in ...

Clayman

I have more fond memories of D2 than D1. It was darker, had better graphics, and nothing was cooler than the gauss cannon. I wouldn't know about weapons balance, because I only played it online a few times.

I've almost always held well against monkey, Online is one thing. On LAN is another. I beat Monkey twice in a row in summer of '04 online, but that doesn't really mean anything - he'd destroy me on LAN, even on my best day. Monk should definitely be higher. Anyone else find this thread that was ...

The only games I see at night (EST) are Subway, Varicose, Skybox, Stadium, Ascent, and sometimes Indika. I play them all except Indika because I find that too boring. The rest you guys listed I rarely or nvr see played. Off topic, but tonight I played Koolbear. :) A real name I see on the DBB ...

Clayman

It's not just you. Sorry Bet. :-P Thats no problem. I have fun and I know my place. I don't have to prove anything that way. :) and....I play more than just Subway dancer. :) Bettina Do you play Vamped, Hash Bash, Pulling Teeth, Burning Indika 3, Bill the Cat, or Athena? Those are more the type of ...

Clayman

Are these people retired? or play in some other servers that I don't go to? You've answered your own questions. Most of them are retired, and the ones that aren't either play under alias or don't play in levels like Subway Dancer. Having flown against them both... alot, I think that Grendel is way ...

Clayman

Well, I meant in the past. I haven't talked to Crown much lately anyway.

Clayman

my top 7 new players looks something like this: Bah, your definition of "new" includes players that anyone who played for the past 2 years would consider old. Fatal won the very first D3 tournament, and as far as I know never played after 2002. Krom was awesome in 1999, maybe earlier. That's old ...

Clayman

Nothing from the Star Wars series? The list has no credibility until such an atrocity has been rectified. The list also needs Jurassic Park, E.T., Home Alone, Cast Away, Spiderman, Mission Impossible, Jaws, Air Force One, Gladiator, Ocean's Eleven, A Beautiful Mind, Speed, Patch Adams, Sleepless in ...

Clayman

How is that relevant to who i played? I don't see how you believe you can rate skill based on playing a pilot back when you weren't very experienced. When I started, I knew that certain players were a lot better than me, but establishing some kind of pecking order back then would have been nearly ...

Behemoth wrote:Actually i played when descent 3 came out online.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe you actually learned how to play well until somewhere after mid-2003. So that would skew your perception of pilot's skills from before that time.

Clayman

From what I remember, Nirvana, Ryujin, Bah, Fatal, Bash, Sirian, and Tyrant retired long before Behemoth was even known by other names like Crystal Meth or Admiral, and Birdseye, Vander, DarkTalyn, Kufyit, Sandmann, and Genghis only played briefly after then, and certainly not at their primes. That ...

Clayman

Yeah, but he sure takes down a lot before he does. Ya know, gotta die with style.

Clayman

Shhhhh Matt....don't tell Krom that.

Clayman

Sirius, I can assure you that's not a "top 20 best pilots" list. What it is, I still can't figure out, but it's not based on a criteria relating to skill.

Wow, that must have been back when I still played almost exclusively in VV and Hally under that nick. Most of my "newer" aliases don't show up for some reason.

Clayman

Man, you can cause some hard feelings doing that. I'm not bad myself and I get 5th place in anarchy games. Plus, I play keyboard only, and if you look at my stats here: http://www.d3stats.de/search.php?q=Zantor <--that was the name I played before I switched to my clan name. http://www.d3stats.de ...

Clayman

I have tons of demos, but most of them aren't 1v1's. The only 1v1's I know I have are vs. Shadowfox, and they're shortly after I switched to stick, so I'm not nearly as good as I was later (though that's still not saying that much). Edit: I just went back and watched a few. I think I have at least ...

Clayman

I like my "auto-moth Krom's fusion and MD" hacks a lot.

Clayman

-Having all of D3k join {RoX}Hostile in Bi3, all of us wearing the tag, "{RoX}Hostile".

That game was a riot. I was one of the Hostile's myself. What was funnier was that the real mccoy was playing in that same game, but no one could tell who was who, heh.

Clayman

Thorne was one of the coolest guys I ever played with, not to mention one of D3's best pilots. Hopefully the old axiom, "Descent pilots don't die, they just fade away and post crap on message boards" will be true. :)I learned a lot by piggybacking him in the early days from observer, and then by ...

Clayman

*Being #1 on the GGL D3 1v1 ladder for a bit.
*Going almost 60% against ROX in a D3TL TA in BI3
*Beating Monkey and Jazzy Jet 1v1 multiple times each right before I retired
*Getting my first promotion to ensign by killing Sergeant Thorne

...Ok, enough self-pimping for the day.

Clayman

We used to have to check the f7 lists before starting D3TL matches to make sure everyone appeared to be on the team they were actually on.

Used to? As far as I know that's Always been an issue.

Clayman

After all, what do you need dramatic angle shots of a guy playing a Piano for? It's just a damn piano after all.

We pianists take great offense at remarks like those.

Clayman

Spiders freak my mom out, but don't have much effect on me. She's always getting me to take them out of the house, even if they're tiny.

I must have been dropped on my head when I was young, because I can't remember more than a handful of things before I was 4-5.

Clayman

Ernie Ball 10's, and I've been thinking of going to 11's.

I've broken my A string on my bass in the middle of a gig (I eat my Wheaties too), and kept playing for the rest of it, though fortunately as I play 6-string bass, I had more sonic options left than others might have.

Clayman

Ahh, I see. It's all bark and no bite though. 65W and only 1 speaker in each cabinet? It's not worth its own size. For what it's worth, after a bit of research, apparently it has quite a bit of low-end, but the mids and highs are quite lacking. I guess if you're playing lower-volume rap it might be ...

Clayman

Well, if you have any 59 pound friends you'd prefer were out of your life, and you're somewhat heavier than them, just challenge them to see who can drink the most BuzzWater. At 19.79 they'll kick the can.

Clayman

I wouldn't recommend the Ashdown P10. The reason he wants it is probably the "coolness" of having a stack, albeit a miniature one. That "coolness" will wear off quickly, and he'll realize that it isn't loud enough, and he'll be back begging you for a bigger amp. Wattage is very important with amps ...

Clayman

Another vote for keeping the "fusion bug." I don't get to use it very often, but when I do, it adds a bit of excitement to the game. It also improves my skills, because when someone like Krom, Shadowfox, birdseye, Sergeant Thorne, whoever is playing, I take extra caution to make sure I'm not stuck ...

Clayman

Looks almost copied from the RIP questionaire. I'm not sure why anyone would want to start a new clan this late in the game. The absolute last big wave of D3 was in the 1st half of 2004, and that one wasn't even nearly as large as earlier ones. If you didn't play until after spring of 2003, you ...

Clayman

Like it or not, the fword is a vulgar expletive of the strongest form There are plenty of words that are potentially stronger and more vulgar. For example, some people say that others are retards. That should be considered far more offensive, because you are demeaning a class of people that can't ...

Clayman

Personally, I find nothing wrong with "filthy language." Words are in essence just letters rearranged to form thoughts to communicate with other intelligent beings. They only seem "harmful" when they take on societal connotations or perceived attitudes or threats. However, I generally prefer to ...

Clayman

heh, that taunt compilation brings back memories. About a minute's worth of those are mine (most of the metal taunts that are grouped together). It doesn't include the other 500 or so taunts I made though, and misses all the best "real" taunts.

Clayman

actively over the past 6 months I estimate there are actually over 340 people still involved with this game.

At least half of those belong to a mere half a dozen members of III. I doubt there are more than a few dozen people who play even weekly at this point.

Clayman

Heh, i go into empty servers alot under alias also, because ive noticed more people try to gang up on me under my real handle. Wow, I thought I was the only one! It was even worse with a ranked pilot. Taking a commodore into a crowded level is like painting your ship neon pink with a neon green ...

Clayman

More of you guys should play. Yeah, I'm almost missing it. Reading threads like these is about as much fun as playing though. It does make me wonder tho, how badly has the average skill level slipped if someone can mistake Bettina for me? I wondered that when I would occasionally get mistaken for ...

Naturally, growing your hair out maximizes cranial capacity.

Wow, that's incredible.
