A fun team exchange

Madcow · 2003-08-13, 12:37 PM

I was on the outskirts of a battle and a friendly harrasser passed close to me without a gunner. I was actually at a friend's place trying out Planetside on a ridiculously fast connection with a ridiculously fast computer, so he was watching as well. I started running after the Harrasser trying to get in the gunner's seat, and the driver was going around like a drunk over all the hills as I surged along side him. After about 30 seconds I realized that he had no interest in getting a gunner and was actually trying to run over as many TR as he could. Once he realized that I was running next to him, he decided I should be squashed. Unfortunately for him, somebody running alongside your vehicle really can't get squashed by you (and if you get caught between the two wheels it will sometimes drag you without harming you). For about 3 minutes we were both completely ignoring the battle, him making moves to shake me and then try to run over me, me dodging out of the way (or jumping over) the Harrasser. He finally got some distance away from me and as I was standing at the top of the hill he turned towards me and gunned it. I timed my jump right, barely took any damage and he flew past underneath me. I turned around, ran over the top of the hill and was just in time to see the Harrasser exploding from a shell from the Vanguard that happened to be on the other side of the hill.

Good times.

It's always nice for smacktards to get what they deserve. And being there to witness it is that much more rewarding. Yes....good times when that happens

Ah, sweet justic

Here's another good story. Not as glamorous as your but just as satisfying:

After one of my continent broadcasts, I got a particularly nasty /tell saying "YOU FUCKING SPAMMER I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN AND KILL YOU A THOUSAND TIMES!!!!1"
To be honest, the grammar and spelling was way off, but I'm not going to dwell on it. an hour or two later, He must have spotted me since i got another tell saying
"I see you, fucker!" once again, spelling and grammar were atrocious--and this was only a 4-word sentence, how hard is it to get it right? Back to the story. Skip ahead, skip ahead, ah. Here we go. He's chasing me around Ixtab with a gauss, trying to kill me for the 4th time. Hoping I'll lose him amongst the crowd, I decide a jaunt to the CC might buy me some time. So up the stairs and into the CC room.
I'm at <10 HP ~50 armor, and 5 Stamina--one shot and I'm as good as dead. I pup through the T bend leading to the CC and dart right to run around the CC counterclockwise. No sooner than I strafe right, he opens up, and fires off at least 5 shots. But I had dodged. Instead his shots found a home in the armor of a ScatterCannon MAX that only minutes ago had been rambling about how he "hated these goddamn MAX knifers" and that he'd "kill the next person to touch him". Well, naturally, this ultra-peeved MAX turns to my persuer (who had stopped in his tracks and holstered his gauss). I would imagine this person was probably swearing. Someone must have seen the sliver of HP I had remaining, since a medic came bounding over in reinforced armor
"Fucker." The MAX said
CHI-KOW CHI-KOW CHI-KOW CHI-KOW CHI-KOW CHI-KOW CHI-KOW
And there he was. The man who said he'd hunt me down. He was now in a little limp pile. Someone must have seen the sliver of HP I had remaining, since a medic came bounding over in reinforced armor. He stopped at the hunter for a second, and I thought to myself: "Oh shit, he's gonna revive him!" But a second later he stopped looking at the body and ran over to me, bringing me back up to acceptable levels.
I hadn't heard from that deranged player since, but occasionally we bump into each other, and whenever we do, he hasn't tried to kill me since.

He must think I have a bodyguard. hah.

LOL

Last night one of my squadies and I were waiting for passengers in my deliverer. This particular Tk'er, whom everyone had been complaining about in command chat, just happened to hop in.

We tear out of the base heading towards the closest body of water. The entire time this guy was voice spamming, and I don't think he took his finger off of the trigger once. Anyways, by this time we are well out in the middle of the river.

I come to a stop and kick him out of the vehicle. We watch as he slips helplessly beneath the surface. No tells or anything, just sweet silence.

A little while later, he sends a tell...something to the affect of "Ha Ha fuktard, I survived." Not 1 second later the squaddie who was in the del with me, flattens him with his lightning.

Absolutely hillarious.

Happy lil Elf · 2003-08-14, 02:57 PM

Last night we were on Solsar just fishishing up a cont lock and we decided to hop over to Amerish since Vanu had a cont lock on it (as usual) and Amerish should be blue like it always was back in Beta. Well we get there and get our asses handed to us by about 20 grunts, 3 magriders and a squad of Mosquitos as soon as we got through the warpgate (we were the only squad that headed through I think). Well it turned out we had a tower up in the NW corner so we spawned there drained a base, capped it and then hacked the two bases connected to it.

Just after heading out to cap the other bases we noticed Vanu had a hack on the base we just capped. Figuring the bored Vanu on the continent had finally decided to show up I headed back to our base in my lightning. Pull up no one is there, in fact we even still had the tower. Run down to the CC and flip on darklight and sure enough it's one dumbass hacker who is not only just sitting in front of the CC, he's sitting there facing the CC. I think the name was JoeB but I forget exactly.

Well I throw a few gauss rounds into him and stop the hack then head out. While telling my squad members over teamsound about this moron who was not only still sitting in the CC instead of a nice quiet corner but was also just staring blankly at the control console itself one of my squadmates asked what his name was. I told him and from there the hilarity began.

My fellow squad member asks him if he needs any help up at the base he was at. He says sure and tells the silly Vanu where to meet him. Just so happened that a few other members of our squad were there when he showed up. Needless to say he gets smeared. Over the course of 45 minutes ot so my squadmate lured about 4 people into many different traps just by sending tells and asking them to meet up. Needless to say we were all laughing our asses off. I think the crowning moment was when my squatemate who had been sending the tells killed one of the guys he was talking to and the guy still didn't catch on

Moral of this story? Check to see what team the guy you're talking to is on before following orders. It could just be that you're being lead into a trap over and over again

Everay · 2003-08-14, 03:10 PM

your and evil lil elf, good thing your on my side, well, i have alot of stories like that, like one time, i was gunning for my freinds vanguard ( yea im sure you already get what happens ) and some idiot in a baskilis shoots us, and i point the cannon at him, and he shoots again, so as we drive off, i open fire and kill him in like one shot, and he gets really pissed, and sends me a tell, saying something like, I WASNT SHOOTING AT YOU!! or some other bullshit, i mean, how could you not mean to shoot me? seriously, we were both standing stil, total bullshit, so later, the guy he was traveling with, was parked infront of us,( in the middle of the road as we were hitting like 60 in the van ) and my vanguard driver ran him over ( he was in a baskilis too ) and i asked him, WTF? whyd you do that? and he replied, Huh? whyd i do what? i was looking at the map.l

HawkEye · 2003-08-15, 03:29 AM

he replied u shot me in back.
i /tell him again and i was like omfg ur a dumbass, i was shooting motion sensor and u walked in my line of fire dumbass.

he was silent after that. there was some cursing in between all that.

i found that incident funny.

Caspertoo · 2003-08-15, 08:11 AM

Revolver I find your global spams annoying.....I shall kill you the next time i see you.

And just because I'm a TR doesn't mean anything!

noxious · 2003-08-15, 03:53 PM

I have a quick fun one, though I may have lowered myself to his level, I found it totally hillarious. I was playin my TR char on markov and we were guarding a tech plant CC. 3 maxes were locked down watching the stairwell. I was running upstairs from the equip terminal, and my phone begun to ring. So I go to pickup the phone, leaving my char on the starewell, knowing well that the base was totally secure, and he woulnd't be killed there. I return just in time to see one of the maxes mow down my character. When I asked why he said, "You were in my line of fire and I asked you to move." Well I was afk so I didn't hear him say move, and that is beside the fact that there was no one to fire at. So I went and grabbed my stryker and unloaded a full clip into his back. By this time he was unlocking, and turning around, but I had gone around the corner (I was in the airpad area) to reload, I popped back around and finished him off. I promptly PMed him, "Sorry man, you were in my line of fire." He said a few unkind things to me and I simply ignored them. But man, when I killed him, I was laughing so hard despite the 80 greif I got for it.

Lonehunter · 2003-08-15, 04:22 PM

noxius if I ever see you in game I'm gonna /appel you, even if I didn't see you do anything. Becouse by the looks of what you just posted, you probably do stupid shit like that all the time. Come on, going AFK in the middle of a srairwel with MAXs at the top? Your one of the reasons TR is always TKing each other.

Edit: And how do you know there was nobody to fire at? You were AFK!

Katanaboy · 2003-08-15, 04:33 PM

Once, in the sanctuary, some guy was running people over with an ANT. I did not know this at the time, and went AFK near the stairs to the HART building. Upon returning, i find myself dead on the ground. Looking at the kill message window, i find that i was run over by an ANT. I figure it must have been an accident, and let it pass. Grabbing my equipment, I run toward the HART building, but get run over on my way there, by the same fellow with his ANT. By now I'm pissed, so I grab my magrider and proceed to run him over with impunity, Vanu style. I then send him a tell with a single word: bitch
