The Earnestness of Elim

[Tigerex]

If you use ?nopubchat then you would lose the fun of watching people bitch about you after you beat the crap out of them, then what would elim be? BOrInG

i used to whine too much when i got terrebly lamed but then realized it was completly useless cause it only made me play even worse cause i got too angry and lost concentration. When i stopped caring about the damn rec and playing for the fun ( which i belive every1 should do ) i started to care less and less about being lamed...i dont say i enjoy it but i really dont care any+...and im starting to realize that a good pub is a lot + fun then the overcrouded elim

i love elim, but everyone calls me a newbie when i kill them . They are like: "u newb", and of course i always respond by saying "fuck off, bitch!", or "haha, u just got killed by a newbie!". Both of these are conversation stoppers because either way, they have to think for a minute since i actually responded to them, and that way, they just get spawned, and yell newbie at someone else.

It's not too hard to stay alive in elim. ALl you have to do is take random shots into spawn area, and act cowardly. Its worked for me for the past so many years that i've played this shitty game.

Elim's fun. It's a shame that people in general don't care anymore becuase it used to be really great when people actually cared about their rankings. You'd have people talking about how they did in spec chat and stuff. I guess I'm just competitive :P

Oh and the whining is easy to ignore. Mind over matter, although sometimes it's fun to see people whine after you kill them muhahaha.

I can take the Spamming bit (even though you need to understand that i speak pure bullshit in real life too) but if you ever call me Susie again i swear i'll put a thong on and lapdance on you...with my fluffy bumcheeks

I like elim. But then again I tend to play it when my connection is good, no base games are going on, and basically no one is on chat, which is normally late at night. I prefer to play with a pallie or 2 also in the arena and try to root each other on, but most of the other pallies don't like elim. I normally only play like 2 or 3 games of elim at a time, but I always try to do well. Obviously I put in varying degrees of effort depending on my mood, but I always try to do well enough to improve my rating. It gives you a goal to shoot for, makes the game more enjoyable for a competitive person like myself. Occasionally I'll get pissed off when I'm not playing well and everyone keeps lagging through my shots, but normally people don't talk much smack to me. Or maybe they do and I just don't read it. I normally only read squad chat while I'm playing, otherwise I'll get shot.

I don't have that problem because i can't read.

I get my dog to read out what is typed but i can't let him watch me play elim...he puts me off.

that's what i do. i completely phase out all the whiners but if i kill someone i don't like, seeing them whine just makes me enjoy myself.

I've always played for fun. I don't spawn or lame unless it's osmeone who has done it to me in the last couple games. I do however tend to float around in baselim in parts where i've practiced alot so other players aren't sure what to do. I liek those obscure places, i'm good there. I am thinking about getting 36 hours on a new name for the challenge of seeing how good i really am but otherwise i play with my normal lines=8.

[Facetious]

I have three aliases that I use for elim. One I use for when I'm just focusing on playing, one I use for when I want to play, but I'm also talking to people, and the other one I use for just screwing around. The third one is really a really newbie-ish name, and I notice that everyone hates me when I use it. When I use the Face name nobody ever PMs me hundreds of times calling me a newbie, but it happens on the third alias. It's funny when I beat people that do that in duels.

Bah, lucky asses I haven't been able to play in elim for ages, only on occasion when I have 5-6% ploss, at which times everyone eats everything I shoot, and it's kinda annoying.

Btw, did you know that I will lag out if I'm left all alone on the screen (no one on radar either) for more than 10secs. Every time I respawn I have to race my ass off to the base not get dc-ed.
