The level of inteligence on battle.net.

Anarchist Bunny · Post by **Anarchist Bunny** » 2002-12-29 06:59pm

Why is it that the people on battle.net are, almost as a rule, complete and utter cockmongers. I have encountered so few smart people on there. And today I have encountered an annoyingly large ammount.

BTW, this is focusing on Starcraft.

I encountered this guy, in a map for Risk, the creator lagged so the dl was slow, and he told him to ban me. I'm use to that. But once I finished(the creator didn't ban me) Not only did he have to DL, but he dled as SLOW AS I DID! While continuing to insult me and talked bullshit about his download was 10x faster then mine.. Also there was a guy with him that called him by his real named, downloaded even slower. I know right there I'm going to get double teamed. So I don't click Start on the briefing screen for 5 minutes. When I finally do he's still there luckily, and goes 'wtf what shithead didnt clik ok", I go "Ah, do you not like playing with someone that is a complete and total cockmonger, Well now you know how it feels" and pulled the phoneline out of my computer to delay his game even more.

Then I was playing a map someone was testing. Didn't title it, but made it clear it was about the battle of endor. He didn't rename or edit ANY of the units, gave the rebels about 12 carriers, a bunch of scouts and about 6 arbiters, vs 10 fucking battlecrusiers. And on the ground it was just bunch of marines randomly placed, some goliaths and some tanks against some zealots. While my forces easily overpowered the lots, my fleet had been raped by the cloaked scouts and carriers and they promptly began to destroy me. He then quit because he just relized that his friend had left(the map took that long) and I whisper to him "You need a lot of practice in making maps" and this little inbred shit head goes "no u do". I immediantly went off on him for his utter stupidity in his childish comeback, and I really didn't insult him. And then I'm playing another map, about 5 minutes after I flamed him and his friend whispers to me "fool". I squelched them both.

Then I was playing a map that I kinda like, but rarely is ever played an never has a full house, Star Trek Diplomacy. Three people were playing, one quit during the briefing. We decide not to rm. I'm going along, i've cleared out all the other units on my home planet and discovered warp my first warp core. I've played it a couple of times before and so I had already gotten a second tier unit, goons, and my basic unit were lings. He scanner sweeps me and sees that my lings do more damage then his hydras. I've played his race before, were talking like 7 damage more, and his hydras had about 12 more hp then me. I tried to explain that he had range, which allowed him to hit my guys before I could hit his, and that his units could all fire at one time, while mine had too wait until the unit infront of them died. Then he saw the dragoon, I said its the second unit you get, yours is an ultra, and that he had better units then me cause he could have his ultras tank damage while his hydras pounded away from behind, safely. But no, apparently I was just a fucking cheater and had rigged the map and I wasn't even the creator of the match and quit.

I was playing a 4 vs 3comp game on a money map, I wanted to try some things out with zerg. There is one person with me thats good, and 2 idiots. One built only BattleCrusers(about 30) the other build only carriers, and filled his base with, I fuck you not, over 50%photon cannons. Midway through the game I attacked a comp with zerglings, the terran player said "lings sux dood" as my lings killled most of the comps base. Well we beat all the comps and we didn't win. Odd I thought and then I relized it as the 2 shitty players backstabbed us. Ofcourse they didn't do anything smart like line my base with units(which I never let happen) or even have units near by base, they just start killing the leftovers of the last attack. So it turns into the two shitty players vs the good player(protoss) and me (zerg). Remembering what that guy had said about lings I send about 150 lings, into his base, right under his 30 something battle crussiers. Distroy most of his base except for some turrents, supply depos, and starports. No SCVs, no command centers, then he sends about 24 of his BCs at me, as their crawling to me(we were on opposites sides of the map) and worthlessly destroying my sunken colonies, I made about 12 Devourers and a lot of Scourges. Destroy his BCs, and have a nice new wave of lings to throw at him. Now the other guy that was backstabed took out all of the other idiots carriers with Corsairs and was about halfway into his base with dragoons and such, took out a lot of cannons. And they fucking ally agian. What morons I think as I set my lings onto the remanents of the terran's base. Then my ally allies them. Fuck, I'm facing a 3v1 or a win. Looking back I would have rather lost that one then allying them.

Is it just me, or do you all encounter these fools too stupid to be a rabid trekkie.

I did quite a lot. I haven't played StarCraft in a while, though.

I did love crushing fools who depended entirely on a ling rush. Stimmed M&Ms will do bad, bad things to lings.

Such is battle.net. Unfortunately, Blizzard's games tend to cater to this particluar species of fuckwitted shitbrains. Its even worse on the Diablo II portions. If you want to play some good RTSs without the idiots, try Sudden Strike 2, or Kohan

HemlockGrey · Post by **HemlockGrey** » 2002-12-29 07:04pm

Kohan is excellant, but Gamespy Arcade is a sewer, and I prefer SC's gameplay.

Anarchist Bunny · Post by **Anarchist Bunny** » 2002-12-29 07:08pm

Yes, Hemlock, I hate those people that say 1 unit rushes are unbeatable. Most often it is either Hydras, BCs, or Carriers. For some reason they think BCs and Carriers are good on their own. In reality they SUCK alone. They are good support units, but shouldn't ever be used alone. On the gamefaqs message board for Starcraft there were several non-idiot players, but then there were those that couldn't understand why Zerg didn't have a capital ship(probly they wanted to play as zerg, but they just didn't have a BC or Carrier equvalent). Even after explaining to them the nature of the zerg, what cap ships are, how they didn't mix, and how they do have a cap ship equivalent, the ultralysk, they still couldn't get it. DIE!

Also, on SC I used to play with people from the channel 'Clan ~Nohunters' but i dunno if it still exists.

I occasionally joined those stupid '2 hr norush' games on BGH variations. Either the person would rush with lings and I'd kill them, or they'd wait the full 2 hrs and then I'd go in and massacre them. It'd always be fun to see them with 20 carriers, 4 probes, and a shitload of photon cannons, whilst I had expanded to every corner of the map and had dozens of tanks and ghosts bearing down on them.

Damnit. You're making me want to reinstall SC.

Wow, in a game like that, I'd quickly max out in mostly air units, and then spend an hour building nothing but overseers. Nice wall, that protects my units, but doesn't cost food.

I have diablo 2 and I have a level 41 sorc. I hate it when lvl 99 people ask me to kill their hirelings for them. I come over and their hireling kills me. Then when I try to fight back ,they go totally hostile, kill me and say that I started the fight!

Dude, if you want your hireling killed, ask a fellow lvl 99 player to do it, not a lvl 41!!

vHey anarchistbunny do you have a account over at gamewinners?

blizzard seems to like allowing assholes to be assholes in games not making lock teams and allowing anyone to get into your party, check where you are, go hostile, and kill you. For that I get revenge though cause I got a lvl 89 sword/shield barbarian. He has problems with amazons and sorceresses of equal level but to couter this he is very fast with 2400 hp tops so I can get in close before I get killed by homing arrows. For sorceress I have to be fast and hit them before they teleport but they are dead in one hit. If I am having problems on the guy I get my brother, cousin, and friend to come help me out. My brother and cousin gots a level 93 zon and 75 zon and my friend gots a lvl 86 sorceress. I also try to protect other guys from pks.

No, I never really went to gamewinners much

I don't like fighting comps. Too bland.

Do you have any idea how much ghosts own the Protoss?

Anarchist Bunny · Post by **Anarchist Bunny** » 2002-12-29 07:35pm

Still, overseers can be built into numbers in the hundreds, without drawing on food. So you can have 70 Mutalysks and 25 guardians, with 300+ overseers soaking up damage, and causing some unit's attacks to be utterly useless, while they're raped by the forces they can't quite find in the mass of over.. fuck I wrote overseers, I mean overlords, the zerg dropship unit.

ArmorPierce · Post by **ArmorPierce** » 2002-12-29 07:35pm

I'd play starcraft with you but I haven't played it in a while and I probably would suck. That and I would have to install the game.

Ever went up against insane computers? They are impossible to win against. You would think that unlimited resources deathmatch style game against them would be a benefit to you, but believe me, against them it's not.

Not really. Whenever I joined a comp game I would barricade myself behind two supply depots(impenetrable defense against the comp) stick a bunker behind it, and then drop some tanks on their base.

ArmorPierce · Post by **ArmorPierce** » 2002-12-29 07:40pm

are you sure you're talking about insane computer and not normal computer?

Anarchist Bunny · Post by **Anarchist Bunny** » 2002-12-29 07:42pm

Insane computer + money map == FUCK!

But insane computer alone isn't too bad.

That would never stop a comp set to insane. Against the Custom script it works fine.

When I said 'not really' I meant that I had not fought a comp set to insane.
