Talk about anything in here.

If purple trolls don't like it, purple trolls can kiss my body part where the sun don't shine. Or is this entire forum the private property of purple trolls? 

You're not funny and you never have been, either under this name or the original one, whatever one it may be - nobody can tell because all your shitposting is so run of the mill. 

huheuehueh otp got mad!!! roulf!!!!! 

Spared you a response. 

...of calling others pieces of shit. Priceless! 

 

He was pissing me off, but now he's really starting to become inadvertently hilarious. It's so surreal! Let him barf. 

Dude he's not even talking about you.

Take a deep breath. 

It's like he can't help himself. Like tourette's. 

 

go map 

...is already over? Aww, I was having a blast! Oh well... 

djeeh..,

<Shambler> omg lol
<Shambler> the bit about passion
<Shambler> i just wet myself

P.S. NOT SORRY 

You're "look at me" red highlighting wouldnt be so irritating except for your freaking silly nick, and your constant biting for any old thing. Just find something else to do man. 

I, too, long for a return to the days of intelligent discourse on this forum. I have many fond memories of the lengthy and mutually enlightening conversations I have had with the various quake sensei that grace these fora, and hope that we can all put aside our petty differences to return to those halcyon days of mutual respect and knowledge shareing. First though I feel I should point out that onetruepurple's house smells of wee and cabbages - what's that all about? 

 

Green = Good

I hope mugwump will soon see the wisdom of this viewpoint and change their colour appropriately.

(Because harassing people over their name/colour is where it's at now) 

With yellow in the middle... Why not trying NOT to be so exclusive? The world isn't either/or. 

Am I the only one who ha ever seen a gremlin eat a corpse and spawn a new gremlin?

Thought the mispacks were pretty cool. The wrath is just darn scary looking.

Mispack 1 (hipnotic SOA):
Centroid - cool enemy, but needs nailgun glitch fixed...maybe not needed since AD has the pinch scorpions which are actually pretty neat though underused.
Armagon - fun to fight enemy...tempting to make a battle with 2 of them, or supported by Edies. Meh perhaps not, these mech dudes are kinda ugly and not Quakey.
Spikemines - nasty...good concept but instadeath is rarely a good idea. Could be better if damage was drastically reduced.
Gremlins - love these guys. Loads of code work to get working for any additional mod weapons though for the stealing aspect. Corpse eating to spawn more gremlins is just a cool idea unless body fading is used (hrm). 

Also a cool gimmick, but it takes them too long to produce another one. I guess the developers were playing it safe.

Only once I saw this ability used in any meaningful way, and it was in a Tronyn map. Even then, it was more of a recreational slaughter after a serious fight.

Which isn't so bad, I guess. 

They should have made it so if a gremlin molests a corpse long enough, it should bring the monster back to life. Neater backspawning technique. 

A cool use could be to spawn them where a combat happened when the player isn't there. That way when the player comes back, an army is waiting for him, not too threatening as they are just greemlins, but interesting because the actual amount not depends on the mapper and changes each time, but on how fast the player is, how many enemies he gibbed (as far as i can remember gibbed bodies weren't of use to gremlins), or if the corpses are together or too separated.

Also, if they search for corpses while patrolling, it could be used to collect an army and repopulate the map in a random way.

About the spike mines, the insta-death is less than a problem if they for example are used on a frontal attack in groups against the NG or RL, in a kill before they reach the player situation. It is manageable and the posibilities of dying low, but it has the tense part of survival situations.
