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 ???

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

I'm sorry I don't remember any of it. For you the day spideycw graced your squad with utter destruction was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Sunday

My apologies.
Stage 11: Repeat.Lykourgos wrote:QUOTE (Lykourgos @ Apr 2 2008, 10:09 PM) 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 just realized there needs to be a step in there somewhere for "Discovers forum drama."
