Sucks that the only semi-decent server left is run by a group of old, jobless men who have nothing better to do than sit in observer all day and ban you if you accidentally O-snipe someone who is spamming your stand with disks from midfield.

Also: LT gave Tribes the second wind it never would have gotten if it had never existed. It extended the life of competitive Tribes by a good 3-4 years.

But hey, why don't you put up a server with proper admins and all that fancy stuff you just wrote about and see how many players it has and for how long. (hint: it'll die in out in a matter of weeks because Tribes is dead and nobody gives a ****)

Amadeus hates tribes because when he was a kid, tribes was driving drunk and killed his parents.

that wasnt tribes

that was ptavv

this thread got so much worse once jomo posted his tribes manifesto rofl

thanks for the top of the page quote

really though, almost everything you posted there could be solved by starting a new server and adminning it the way you described. if you think that would save Tribes, then why don't you do it?

what is too high level? you guys are too worried about winning to prove what? there's a lot of decent players sitting around that never get picked. the games the other night were pretty atrocious with the "quality" players being picked. and its also ok for some of you guys to **** around and still get picked every map? looking at lost. and a few others.

The main reason we're afraid to pick new people, is we're not sure they know the positions. Even if you're rusty, or not a great shot, or whatever.. you can still function in a pu, but if you don't know the position.. that destroys the game. Knowing when to stay back on a standoff, when to d up, when to camp, when to go for a return, when to egrab.. pubs don't include any of that.

you don't get those abilities by watching every game.

I know I'm not the greatest player, and I don't pretend to be better than everyone I play against. People can't say they don't know me cause I'm always around. I guess I'm just not in the crowd. Sat for 3.5 hours the other night unpicked. No big deal, I'll still sit around.

Whats funny is that poncho actually believes he is good at Tribes.

and so does opsayo

I'll have to admit I thought dare was a ****** ****talker at first, but he's pretty good, and he's grown on me

No I think it's funny that you think you're good yet you do nothing in pubs nor get picked in PUs. I'm sorry, someone has to put you in your place.

Yet you talk about "back in the day" or how I was fallen's bench warmer when you played IE even tho I didn't even play on a team back then. Delusional much?

opsayo owned me in a duel the other day, true story

Dude I Obs'd you for 2 matches. I wouldn't say you suck. But I wouldn't say you are elite either. The one skill you impressed me with was flag passing/ recieving. I will give you that. other than that I will say good day to you sir.

Yah, well I picked u.. and I tried to see. Unfortunately Non told you to play another position, and i didn't know it til it was too late, so no idea how your LO is.

Hahahaha...buddy, I don't have to think I am good, in fact, I have nothing left to prove in this 10+ year old game - I won all the **** this game has to offer - have you? (you dont have to answer that, we know the answer) - the fact that I dont play PUs is only because they are LT, and LT is for newbies who cant fly without an epack and a nade launcher (AKA - LT - not real Tribes).

As Kuza said, you are not bad, but you are not nearly as good as you think you are - shut the **** up and keep practicing.
