The players we miss...

Robo, where are you? Miss you in game. Captain Canada. Heck, I don't know if Doen is playing anymore.

Robo is enjoying his new job giving cavity searches to handicap travelers and looking thru suitcases with children's underwear.

I have 13,501 deaths; you guys didn't miss me very much.

If you find it crude you should. My father who is 85 has had to deal with similar intrusive examinations. Pops has a pace maker so he has to be checked manually.

So you have decided to personally attack a former admin and player because of his job?
These are gaming forums and not for hate speech and I am disappointed in you Ricey.

Kinda looks like Rice tried to make a bit of a joke, but it simply didn't land. It's the esteem for Roboduck that makes it impossible to find the humor in it. At least he didn't call him feckless. Let's try to be faster to forgive than to condemn.

Anyway, based upon some of my non-scientific research, I've discovered that deaths are down 18% in the past 6 weeks while kills have only decreased by 6%. Fewer players are dying, but even fewer are getting killed by other players. How can we explain this incongruity? Looking back through the player statistics, we can see that this trend begins approximately the same time Doen stopped playing. I feel this disharmony is a clear and present threat to the server as it is constantly out of balance due to Doen's constant crashing planes, helis, jeeps, boats, etc. and his hilarious falling off buildings, comedic failure to open parachutes, incomprehensibly walking through deadly rubble in the same place in Hue. It's clear that no one could replace Doen's 66,388 deaths, but for years the server has been conditioned to his style of play; this imbalance makes the server try to overcompensate, dangerously so if you ask me. If there is a player that should truly be missed, then it's Doen.

Back to my original point, let's be quick to forgive Rice.

Hi Vmax.
I returned a few months ago and played for a few days. It was nice. I got Rick a few times, sniped Rbilly spectacularly while he was in the loach, and accidentally killed pinky (swear to God, thought he was Hellsfury). The bottom line is that large maps and low numbers make for boring gameplay.
You guys have a good thing. Give the game to some friends, family, sworn enemies, etc. so that you can have quality rounds. Ask Ice to modify some of the city maps to change the posters to include images of Sofia Vergara, Selma Hayek, Margot Robbie, and the like...Ellen DeGeneres for pinky of course.

And yes, I miss most of you guys.

I think the game will fade in two years, sadly. But with recurrent players at the weekends.
Some players I miss are BlackJack21, BANGO, easting, the iceman cometh, BIC BOI, Barbarian, OG FMJ, RONGZHENGZHENG (yes he was on a couple of days ago.) and others...
Some players from early 2012 was some of the most fun to play with, but also frustrating because if you were on the other team you would lose spectacularly. They were really good at planting the tunnel, stealing the heli's and yeah mainraping. But the attrition that was mainraping was just revenge from previous maps that was a cycle that went on and on.
But back to the point, some of the players from early 2012, I've forgot, except Toxic, Ray, ChuckNorris (ChuckNorris22?) and others, gosh they were so many.

Who remember Halo grandpa? haha lovely player, always sneaky and crawling, I genuinely think he was a grandpa.

That's a good list Vmax. Lets see if they rise to the occasion.

I agree. Certain maps are very popular then a not-so-popular map comes on (Ho Chi Minh Trail, Cambodian Incursion, Fall of Saigon, La Boring Valley) and players leave. I am willing to play all maps .... if we had players on the server as in at least 30. But with our numbers, and times change, perhaps it is time to remove those maps. You can have 20 players, if you are lucky, playing Con Thien .... then comes Fall of Saigon and either they go AFK, spectator or they leave. It's just not the same anymore. It's boring.

On another subject, I recommend that Operation Game Warden or Flaming Dart be moved to the top of the list then put Hastings 2nd. Reason being is that when I do check the server status and see Hastings is in play, with maybe 6 players, I will join but this great map is half-over. Get them in using Flaming Dart or Warden then we might have a boat-load of players on Hastings.

I know, I know ... there are players who like Ho Chi Minh Trail, so do I. Problem is, we lose players. Get rid of the boring maps that are boring because guys go AFK or leave. Maybe we can keep the game going until I can retire.

I think I understand now why Robo left. I'm inclined to delete that from you rice. That's a very crude description of his job. It's rather offensive too.

Don't let me derail the topic though.

I miss them all. Heck I even miss the ones that hates my guts.

I love you ICE you the admin and player not the drug
