Spring RTS Engine

Anyways some idiot named neofrot or fort. Gay name.

[cough]

I was bitched, accused and whined at becuase my teammate accused me of stacking when there were 3 stars, 2 on OUR team. He basically was paranoid that id bring to many stars for his pants to compete with even though there were no open spots. he eventually whined to much till he was kicked.

So what are your stories of incounters of the lower forms of life?

Isn't this a little melodramatic? A forum post because someone lame accused you of stacking?

Also, for the love of God don't bring SF drama over here.

I want a violin quartet in the background.

But yes, i think i am being melodramatic -.-. Then ignore my topic paragraph.

I just want to know everyone elses encounters with springs lower life.

I've met a large number of people that take things way to seriously and explode at you (one guy flamed me for 10 mins after a 'your mom' joke aimed at him )

Sarcasm is lost on you.

Me? o-O

Actually alot of games get completely ruined by stacking.

Especially when there is a game up, then a few clanners decide to pour in, and all want on the same team....

Spring needs an Autobalence system based on Hours and ranks, not just ranks.

I've seen many games started with all *'s on 1 team, usually clanners, facing off against a team of complete nubs.

Can you actually be proud to beat a team of nubs?
Where is the fun in that...

In all my 1v1 games I dont recall ever playing someone who wasnt pleasant and reasonable.


My philosphy is if you play dumb games you get dumb players joining.

Well, Issac, I don't know about that - I have encountered some really terrible 1v1 games in the past, though of course I no longer have the edge in any one mod to play 1v1 competitively.

If I recall, the post-game is often where all the insults fly...

Clan mates have every right to play with eachother. That's why they are in a clan. I personally don't like playing against my clanmates unless its a private clan game, or a 1v1. Also, there's nothing more irritating than losing because of some crappy player on your team, when you played well enough to win as long as everyone else does the basics. If you don't like stacked games, play 1v1s or gain some skill and join a clan.

Finally, games against nubs are a good opportunity to try something new, or work on some specific aspect of your game.

And +1 to what Isaac said.

I don't 1v1 because I suck and I like to have someone else to blame when I lose.

You can remain a powerful independent, but you'll be stacked against if you don't at least have a working relationship with members of clans, or a loose affiliation of independents. In the latter case, you might as well form a clan.

I personally never clanned because I dislike the clan system, and besides I like people from a large number of clans and couldn't dedicate myself to one.

qft

edit. Also, Spring clans are generally made of phail.

:<

Hmm, I once had an ally who decided to build a krog as soon as possible ona 2v2 Altored divide. The opposition both hammered at me so I called for help, at which point he dispatched his 4 units or so. The enemy then (having finnished with me) mashed his base, at which point I got flamed by my aly for causing us to lose. To be fair though, that was more funny than annoying.
You do occasionally run into rude players, especially when you pull off an early victory, and especially especially when you knock someone out fo a team game early on....
But on the whole avoiding metal maps avoids most problems.

I think pretty much everyone has experianced something like that a few times ^^

I was with three utter n00bs against day, and andy or sleksa and someone else. Ofc the gits only bothered attacking me, my alies built a row of dragons teeth as far back as possible and sat there doing nothing ^^

Then ofc i get the blame for the loss ^^

yeah, the main problem with clans in spring is they always end up facing gaggles of inexperienced and disorganised noobs.

Once I was in the same team of a good player, but that just couldnt accept the fact that my idea of how to proceed was diferent from his one.

Its pretty anyoing then someone tries to order you what to do instead of suggesting, dont you guys think?
