carebears, I only want a good game. I fly maybe 20% of the time a scout, the rest of the time I am out having fun.

If you like being pushed around, being talked to in caps, you should join teams commed by ozzy.

I only push people around because they need pushing. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

If you do not want to win the game what's the point in playing?

I dont play with the preasure to win, I play to have fun and relax from stress at work. Thats a huge difference. I dont give a **** if my team lose or win as long it is a good and balanced game.

I used to play like that, win win win, but it isn't why you should be playing. Winning on the other hand can be seen as a nice accomplishment.

just a comment - cadet scout week has turned into failures in prox mine week. please remove this week or just make it about probing only and not about proxing...i find it amusing to pod tons of cadets during this week when they think - "oh if i drop a prox, i'll for sure kill something" but of course thats wrong and i get a big kb that i could later on use to prox the @#(! out of everything to everyone

I'll partake!

Can we also get rid of "place probes exactly 500m behind the aleph cause, like, they're 'hard to find'." week?

Usually though, "skill" is used to covertly mean "match the game exactly to my level of competence." Anyone who is at all worse than me should fail utterly (and humorously!) and anyone better is clearly too caught up in the game and their opinions shouldn't count.

Is it realy neccesary to hide them behind allephs? i'd say it's more usefull to hide them below or to the side of alephs and a bit further off. the odds of someone going 800 meters to the side of an aleph isn't that big, unless they're preparing an sb run or whoring with sf's. In those cases, it's pretty clear, since all of a sudden your probes are disapearing.
