Recently I've been reflecting on how Allegiance's learning curve embodies the human condition: the ceaseless struggle, the cycles of growth and decay, the absurdity of age and time, the constant yearning and passion in the face of inevitable futility and death.

Defending bases:
Stage 1: Clueless. Flies in circles while the base is bombed/capped. Gets booted.
Stage 2: Discovers minimap. Helps to defend the base. Yay!
Stage 3: Discovers afterburners. Overboosts past the bomber/HTT while the base is bombed/capped. Gets booted.
Stage 4: Discovers backthrust and timing. Learns not to overboost, and helps to defend the base. Yay!
Stage 5: Discovers ramming. Overboosts past the bomber/HTT while missing a ram. Gets booted.
Stage 6: ??? Nirvana ???

Stage 6: Begins to command. Gets mutinied.
Stage 7: Commands well. Gets backseated.
Stage 8: Wins most games while commanding.
Stage 9: Stops commanding, stops being useful in game, does nothing but pod newbies all day long to improve K/E ratio.
Stage 10: Quits.

I skipped steps 6-8 and went directly to step 9. Is that okay? /unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":unsure:" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

You missed the commanding to have fun while losing with style option Lyko.

I learned it from Picobozo and Armisis

Stage 11: Repeat.

I made it to halfway between eight and nine.

I just realized there needs to be a step in there somewhere for "Discovers forum drama."

Thats a sub-step to 1, along with "i play SC I roxxxors! Let me com now!111!!!"
