Ok.. now that X-mass is over.. I can comment on yer last post without bringing doom and gloom to yer holidays
>>>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.
>>>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
Cheerios.. and see ya in the wastelands..

This was a nice read
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.
