Title: What are your hidden source tactics?
Post by: Lemons on January 12, 2014, 07:08:53 PM
I often see normal players pounce into the air after they hit someone to avoid the shot. I avoid doing this since it is a very known technique. What do you guys do? Pounce at that person, hit and pounce away? Pounce at them and hit them until they are dead? I remember playing with Red... I still have nightmares.

I find the hit and run tactic works best for me. You don't kill as fast, but I find I stay alive longer

^ pretty much the most effective way to survive, sticking around in one place gets you killed awful quick...

Uhhhh... I'm growing rusty... been busy doing other things and stuff.. (still get my hours in though ;D) but I tend to just kill people as my strategy =P.

When I used to play - and it was an actually jumpy/scary game, and people played it as one. I used to play so as to scare the players until they're on edge and then kill them.

I remember playing one time in the desolate mansion map, and everyone was huddled around the piano, I came from above, played the piano, threw a grenade and jumped away, they all screamed. It was so bloody funny to see only two survive the FF xP

=D
TL;DR
I screw around a lot as IRIS/Hidden but I kill people when I don't.

B-hopping backwards in my face, until I kill the hidden and slaughter your team in front of you, then proceed to die to you as you b-hop on my corpse ;-;

That's what you meant right?

I pretty much adapted some tactics from the current admins.. little bit of lives tactic,, little bit of reds, dbag (prop killing) < by the way im gettiing better at that muahhahaha. and so forth. as for iris i think i got a pretty solid tactic which is just pic k a spot (depends who im playing with) and wait.. if its like red.. then i try to pick a spot or keep moving and stay away from props.. same tactic applies for DBag. i got other ones but its top secret and im saving it when len returns >:P your going down mr

I usually find it best to pounce to a target, hit, pounce into the air, and then crouch behind them and finish them off, it works the majority of the time =)

Please don't necro.

Fuck it. I like hearing new players' tactics.
Plus, what about stickied topics? We necro them because they are stuck to the top.
Title: Re: What are your hidden source tactics?
Post by: Pyro on April 10, 2014, 03:22:05 PM
Well this isn't stickied so...
I'm just saying that he shouldn't necro, because if nobody would say it, he would do it again because he'll think it's allowed.

I'm not trying to be a dick but rules are still to be followed.

Well, considering how "lively" the forums are nowadays, he gets to make the choice of:
1) Make a new thread of the same topic (leading to clutter)
OR
2) Comment on a thread that no one commented on for over a week (because of lack of commenters, it DEFAULTS to a "necro" violation, which shouldn't be his fault. I've always had an irk about the whole "necro" rule, anyway)


But yeah, nowadays, I have to figure out who is liable to 180 me and remember to catch them on their sides and run away.

There are rules, and then there are the circumstances. In a small, not-very-active community like CG, there's no point in upholding the rules as the divine law to be followed in any and all situations, especially when the circumstances make some of them ridiculous. Not trying to be a dick neither, but please think about:

- What harm that reply in a "dead" topic does;
- The sense it makes to see 50% of the posts over 1 day (that is, one post in the whopping two posts of that day) being a reminder to "not necro";
- Why such a rule about necroing exists and what the true goal of it is.

Fine then, I'm sure the rules for necro'ing can become more flexible, however necro'ing still shouldn't be allowed in some circumstances, for example trying to get your post count up by necro'ing old threads with a useless comment.

If a reply make sense and actually contributes to the flow of the thread, something relevant, then I guess exceptions can be made :)

If I'm not mistaken, Inject lifted the requirements of the post counts to apply for admin role (or at least it became more flexible), so there's not really a point anymore in trying to bloat your post count.

The point behind the "no necro'ing" rule you find on most forums is actually to stimulate new discussions - if you have an opinion about something and post it in an old thread, people might start arguing about exactly the same elements again; however if you create a new topic, it increases the chances of starting a discussion fresh with new points of views and ideas.
"Necro'ing" however is not only about posting in an "old" thread; it's about posting in a thread that has already been buried by new threads for some time (e.g. page 6 of the list of topics).

It's difficult to apply either here because there isn't enough activity to "bury old threads" or "recreate a new discussion about an already discussed topic". It might actually be better to post your opinion/idea on an "old" thread than create a new one.

Necromancing time.

Sorry long overdue.

Yes I did lift it to some degree (the amount of post required). Time are hard I guess to say the least.
But you are both right.
Rules are rules and if people just assume a rule doesn't apply because of x or y why do the rules exist?

I should probably officially touch up the rules my self so things are more clear.
And I do think necroing is bad alot of the times like Pyro said.

But given the current forum activity, I'm going to obviously be more lenient, but not invisible.
