our zone is at an all-time level of suck

[Jason]

and i don't know how to fix it :<

you enter an arena and you recognize maybe (BIG maybe) 2 out of 20 names

you play a game of base with all those unfamiliar characters and it's a shitty, poorly played, boring game

you go to elim and baseelim, it's overcrowded like whoa with, you guessed it, more of those people you don't know

our zone became overrun with a newer generation of players at some point (i missed it i guess) and these new dudes suck

they're boring people, unimaginative, young and therefore immature to the point of being deserving of a bitchslap or two

fuck me

no really, fuck me

it can only get worse

what a terrible realization

how can we make it better?

your thoughts?

i have none at the moment

none that are all that good

and now it's time to hit submit new thread

[cundor]

Agreed
I totally love your avatar btw

[avendragon]

2 things!

base and elim where u need 2000 usage to play! HAHAHAHA THAT WILL SOLVE THE NEWB PROBLEM!

[Richard Creager]

Been going on for a while jase, staff either bans all the cool people or completely fucks with the settings by giving into whatever the demand of these masses of shitheads want in that regard, prompting a swift "fuck this" from the most of the good guys who still played.

And the rest of us sit here in blind hope that things will be fixed, yet it only gets worse and worse.

[Rosstones]

I agree Jason.. but this is cuz we are old and the guys we learned this game wit... are mostly gone.

[Mystics]

lol richard creager nice avatar

[Vitron]

I'd say something smart but I don't think I'm part of the solution... <_<

[Suzie-Q.]

played in 2001/2 left after internet went, came back, i only know/remember like 5 ppl that are playing, i know its sucks, but its just something that happens.


there isnt a solution i can think of.

[Vykromond]

YOU'RE NOT THE MAN YOU USED TO BE- YOU'RE OLD AND OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE SUBSPACE ELECTORATE

[Desire]

Don't know how to fix it?
Stop acting all oldskool-ish and get to know the new players.

edit: had a typo in there

[Suzie-Q.]

i happen to agree with desire, get to know new players there not that bad, granted like 70% of them are immature fools but then again im sure its the same for those "old schoolers".

[Dameon Angell]

New blood coming in, just gotta initiate them with an ass whoopin. I don't think the forums have changed as dynamically (where you sign on and 50 people post who you've never seen before).

[Troll King]

This is what happens when the best players decide they're too good for pubs for so long.

[Kolar]

I don't think it's limited to pubs TK. I wouldn't have a fucking clue as far as dueling is concerned but a lot of older basers have left the ?go base arena, even I don't play as much anymore. Yeah, there's always enough people to play but the games are shit and the new players are not pulling their egos out of their asses long enough not to hop to another squad (making the leagues unstable and basicly boring).

[Jason]

try to get to know the newer players eh?

have you actually tried doing that?

i have

three ez's, a pwnd and a gg later, i give up and eat some doritos

as i said, this newer generation sucks. it's not just that they're new and i'm out of touch with them (which is of course true also), they are really fucking stupid by and large. i was in that position once. i didn't act like that. the guys who came up around me, none of us acted like that. the zone was just plain better 2+ years ago, and it was because of the people.

that's why i don't know how to fix it. the guys i like are gone, replaced by guys i really don't like.

such a conundrum!
