Yea, I have often used telegrasps and to some extent zimmers.  I forgot to mention them in my going up post.  It just seems like if there is a weapon to go down, there should have been one to go up.  The hoist would have been perfect.  If I was motivated enough I would get the code from Michael and put it in myself Smiley
17  Operation: Overkill BBS Door Game / Recruit Chat / Re: shovels go down, but what goes up? on: December 31, 2008, 02:01:20 pm
I have not been able to find anything that goes up.  I thought the hoist would have been the perfect weapon for that but I haven't been able to use it to get me to an upper level.  Do you know if its possible or if something else in game lets you go up, other than the cyclone, zaxonaccelerater, or a hole up?

  Ok.. now that X-mass is over.. I can comment on yer last post without bringing doom and gloom to yer holidays   Cool
 
>>>Powercrazy really IS my real life friend, and we planned doing this together.<<<
 
  OK.. Maybe he is.. and maybe he isn't.  I started OOII because a roomate of mine in the early 90's needed a hand against a few folks. We had people stateing we were Dupeing accounts because of our logins as well. A call from the sysop on the speakerphone fixed that right up. In fact We made a great ally in that sysop for the game.. as that was where I got the chance to play in the OOII tourney back in the day. But I digress.. (we old folks tend ta do that from time to time..)
 
  The thing is.... YOU made the brag. Here as well in the game. Makes it kinda hard to think against a dupe account when ONE guy makes a brag on what HE's going to do.. Then all the sudden its a team stomping away.  Powercrazy loged in all that week you claimed you'd  be so kind as to allow the rest of us to put our affairs in order. (good strat to hunt out the snitch monsters aheada time says the paranoid part of me..) From your first log in on your going at it day.. yer hitting the oracle 4-5 times per login. As was powercrazy.  Now I've loged into new BBS'es (to me) and done the same. No sweat on such an easy and well known mapset as Vidland is.. But you gotta admit it also LOOKS kinda bad watching two people doing it on back to back login's from the get go. Add in the fact that although I've seen Xcalibur around.. I don't think I've run into Powercrazy.. (I'd remember someone trying to preach at me for sure..)
 
(A side note here:. you've not been doing most of the killing. Powercrazy has been.. So hes the one thats doing any running over.. )
 
>>>The OOII game on this board has recently reset.  I plan to play it seriously in a week.  I would encourage anyone interested to make a character and play with me so we can get some real competition going.  Otherwise, I'm just going to roll over all of the scrubs in that game.<<<
 
  You posted something simmilar in the game.  If you had mentioned you had a partner..  Perhaps folks would have taken you seriously enough to partner up in turn.. and give you that competition.  Alas instead you drove folks away from playing.  You stated that this was the most active game you've found.  Have you noted that the folks that were playing, haven't really been after you went out of your way to kill em..?  Did you even note that your team were killing level 1-2 players enough that they simply are not logging back in to play.?  The one other player that could have given you some of that fun yer after.. has been kidnaped mostly nakked. Haveing NO chance to advance.. and you cap it by freeing him from the prison and killing him over and over.  You do realize that even I know hes simply laughing at you.  Grin
 
 
>>>My intention is really just to get people riled up and play more, because I genuinely enjoy playing Overkill with other people.  I'm just giving them a reason to want to play and make me pay for all of my transgressions<<<
 
Ya know.. I wish I had a quarter for every person that has tried this sorta gambit in OOII. I wouldn't be exactly rich.. but I'd have alotta quarters anyways. It rarely works.. at least the way you are going at it.  I will admist I am haveing  fun  ressurection(sp?) myself after every death and gaining in stats and equipment in spite of the setbacks.  I'm also recalling some of the tricks I used to use years ago in OOII battles this way.  But you may note that others are not haveing fun... in fact they are not playing anymore. You haven't made just enemys.. you've driven folks from at least that game.  Hopefully not from the game itself, as I know for a fact that two of those folks are still in the newby/learning the ins and outs of the game stage. Food fer thought there Chummer..
 
Hrmmmmm I really oughta build a base or three for you to blow up I guess.. Give ya something else ta do for the rest of the X-mass break from school   Cool
 
Cheerios.. and see ya in the wastelands..
 
DF
 
This was a nice read Smiley  Very accurate in my estimate.  What happens in cases like these is when two people (or 1 with doppleganger) team up and play 4 hours a day they can pretty much own the wasteland when all they are playing against is newbies and a few vets with not as much time on their hands.  It's the nature of the game.  I haven't found an OOII game that limits playtime to less than 1 hour per day, but I would like to.  If you want a challenge try playing the hard map (genesis) at bbs.operationoverkill.com, you get only 3 bases per player and you get hungry really fast.

DF might have mentioned this in game, but the shovel can be used to dig down to the next level.  You have to make sure you aren't digging into rock and your odds are better (I think) depending on the type of land you dig in to.

Thank you!
20  Operation: Overkill BBS Door Game / Recruit Chat / Please post the maps on: December 27, 2008, 11:46:15 am
Hi, I was hoping that someone could post the maps that used to be up in html format.  I winzip file or tarball is fine or just send them to my email.  dbehrend    at    hotmail dot com.
21  Operation: Overkill BBS Door Game / Recruit Chat / Re: telnet://bbs.memphistw.org on: December 27, 2008, 11:42:45 am
Can someone post the maps again?  Tarix was going to do it but he has apparently gotten busy.  Suprax can you do it?  thanks.
22  Operation: Overkill BBS Door Game / Recruit Chat / Re: Hydrites on Map Level 2? on: October 30, 2008, 12:58:03 pm
I think it'll be good for them to spend some time in the clank! Grin  Most of the time they don't know that surrenderring is the way to go and end up getting killed.

They let you out after a day or two.  Plus they can use the transmitter to cry for mercy.
23  Operation: Overkill BBS Door Game / Recruit Chat / Re: Map Scale / Ranking / Rating / Difficult on: October 29, 2008, 09:17:42 am
I think getting the links online would be very benificial to new comers.
24  Operation: Overkill BBS Door Game / Recruit Chat / Re: Map Scale / Ranking / Rating / Difficult on: October 28, 2008, 01:58:52 pm
When is Michael going to get the html for the maps and the strat guide back up on this site?  I think that sort of thing really helps out the new players. 

Is it already here and I have missed it?
25  Operation: Overkill BBS Door Game / Recruit Chat / Re: Map Scale / Ranking / Rating / Difficult on: October 28, 2008, 01:56:53 pm
Geeesh... and I thought genesis was hard.  It's only a 7, there are 3 more levels of difficulty.  I think what can be even more important to the difficult is the settings of the game, like taking 3 steps and being HUNGRY!!!.

Dudley,

...

Also, a missile will not explode if the launch X,Y are within 2 sectors of the Complex, Hydrite Prison, or AFBs/Silos on map level 5.

This is very intersting and was one of the things I was experimenting with.  Are you sure its only level 5 AFBs that can't be blown up?  According to this link
http://www.operationoverkill.com/forum/index.php?topic=191.0
I wasn't able to land a missle with the AFB even on the radar at different levels of the map.
27  Operation: Overkill BBS Door Game / Recruit Chat / Re: Missle codes on: October 24, 2008, 12:22:58 pm
  I also love  fireing off the rockets and watching the  terrain change as it hits its target.  Now and then I've played on mapsets where there was no place to put a base because of the landscape. Fireing a missle  was the only way to create one. I use basically the same method as dscribed except I go by the keyboard, left to right.  eg: qwert  yuiop  etc.
 
I usually have at least a 50% launch.. except for one day when I had 6 duds in a row before a successfull launch.  I made sure my target was not in range of AFB's Prison, the oracle, etc..  I've never had 6 duds in a row before. Was frustrateing
 
DF

I posted some questions on these forums a while back about missle blast radiuses, and during my practicing I think I had 5 duds in a row.  It does happen and it was EXTREMELY frustrating.

HX Willis,

I love hacking missile codes.  I am usually successful 50% of the time before the floppy disk is eaten by the computer.

I do too.  However, unless you are good at cloning yourself (another topic that has been discussed on this forum) floppy disks can be hard to come by.  So I usually make sure I logout before I make the 20th try.  That way when you log back in you get a fresh 20 trys and no chewed up floppy disk.  Good Luck!

Way to hijack the thread, Dwarf.  Are you working for the Hydrites? Smiley  Start up a new thread, and maybe we can draw some interest in this!

-Weezal

You said what I was thinking when I saw his post. Smiley

Yes that would be fun. I could participate if we kept the play time down to about 40 mins and once per day.
