It is time again.

Why can't people have at least a little bit of dignity? Why not play the game according to the rules and LOOK FORWARD to a tight cw?

[mr]No calls us loosers because of "spawnfrags". I call it tactical deployment of troops Happy. This is a competition, we want to win this competition and we will play the wars in a way that we can win as much of it as possible. According the the rules, most frags is worth as much as winning a map, so we make the TACTICAL desicion to play on a map where we can win many frags. We would NEVER lower ourselves to try and change the rules so that [mr.] or F.R.V or any other clan can not use the maps or tactics of their choice though. We would however think our tactics through to conquer whatever tactics are beeing used against us, this beeing be the dignified way to do things. Exploiting game mechanics or rules is another thing, if this is done we would complain.

We in GenX has been looking forward to a FUN and TIGHT game against mr. Now there is voices that want to change the rules (because of GenX choice of maps and tactics). We have made a tactical map desicion and we have used it succesfully against BRO and ALC. Both teams acted very civilized after the CW's and they lost with dignity. Funny thing is that none of the teams we actually used these tactics against have said anything about it, except one BRO member, sorry dont remember name, that congratulated us on "GREAT teamwork, especially on q3dm3". It is not easy you know, our tactic on dm3, it takes a lot of discipline and a lot of teamwork..

I had already heard that there'd been complaints about our choice of dm3 but those people could at least act with some dignity and even though they didnt like it,they could at least accept the fact that it was according to rules and live with it. And both BRO5 and WASP prefer dm17, but NOTHING was said about this before GenX used dm3... Hmm, wonder why?

I know mr wants to win this league too, but how do you want to win it? By beeibg the better players/tacticians or by bending the rules to suit you? And while MOST [mr.] members ARE beeing civil about this there are one or two that has to be on GenX asses constantly.

Are you really that afraid of us?

I just want to clarify that my post is not about [mr.] as a clan, but specific people who happen to be in that clan.

Lol, ok lets stop this right now, before another forum war breaks out lol.

Mr no did not actually call you loser, he just showed it as an example if he WOULD complain. Bit provoking perhaps but don't take it to seriously. And no, we will not work to change the rules while league is in process, rules should allways be made prior to start, not during. It is my personal opinion that only maps commonly regarded as good tdm maps should be allowed, but if I will suggest to cahange the rules regarding this I will do it when league is over and wating to start again.

Ill see..
I agree with No that q3dm3 isnt really a tdm map.

but ok the rules are made, and the rules shouldnt be changed that easy. But its said that if some rule give a team an unfair advantage it should be change so its not so strange people will have things to say about this. Shure its not your team who gets an unfair advantage, its more the thing of choosing a map like that (which any team could do). We would never do this because of the non excisting team feeling and the spawnkills.
Though I'll accept that you choose that map, its smart of you.
Personally i dont take this league sooo serious, but it will be fun, and we play to win,(ofcourse), and thats what we gonna do Happy.

And you should never complain at spawnfraggers in the future...

I agree with all that dm3 is not a tdm map. What else ... this mod is not tdm like. Fact is that tdm in e+ is very similar to FFA. On every map ... It has nothing in comonn wit real tdm fights u can see on osp cpma or baseq3 servers durning clafights. Its mainly becouse in e+ U start with ever weapon , max health and armor is useless ... Still Ctf is pretty nice. Its much more teamlike g_gametype than tdm. And so ... I like ctf more Winking

Greetz!!

Hail to all spawnfraggers!!

In a clanwar I would never complain about spawncampers. In fact, if a clan used this spawntactic against us I would think "damn thats clever". In FFA its a different matter. Just like camping, while it is frowned upon in FFA its a necessity in a clanwar. You find a good tactical spot and you try to keep it, always been done this way and always will. In what way is this different than keeping a strategic position on a TDM map? We choose a smaller map and position our players on the most strategic places on that map? Its TEAM DEATHMATCH, its a war, camping is allowed and necessary to win a war.. I never complain about camping in a CW and any tactic that makes you win a map that is not cheating or exploiting just go for it, use some imagination and think outside the freaken box.

Oh, and trust a team that has tried this. It DOES require teamwork and a LOT of discipline to get away with this tactic, after 90 secs the tactic is pretty much understood by opponents. Every single one in the team need to trust that his teammates is keeping his back clear because he has to focus on a certain area and against a strong team this mapchoice can quickly come back and bite you in the ass.. Happy

Let me explain why I think this is a tactic, not just spawncamping.

This is E+. Everyone has all weapons and everyone has good health and armor on spawn, health and weapon positions are not necessary to build your tactics. In traditional quake you would position campers near Red armor, RL, railgun and other tactical spots, but this is unnessary in E+ because noone wants/needs the damned Red Armor anyway and everyone already got the railgun. All in all if you dont think outside the box E+ TDM would be just FFA with teams. Sure you can find a place that is the best to defend, but if you want to be just a wee bit more creative than that? The rules say that most frags in a war gives as many points as winning a map. We want to win maps, and we want to get most total points. If we cant win all maps we atleast wanna get that point for most frags, so we choose a map that gives many frags, quite clever imho Shock And GenX want mapwins to give more points than top frags but as long as rules are the way they are we will choose the tactic that suits the rules best.

We are offensive players, we dont want to sit waiting for players to find us or running around randomly, we want to actually have a plan in what we do and we want this plan to be more thought through and effective than simply "This place is easy to defend, lets stand here".

Can't people just see it as it is , a clever way to play a map and a clever choice of maps (thanks Harding Laughing? Quite frankly I think that if any other clan than GenX had done this it would have been seen that way, especially if GenX was beaten by this tactic, but for some reason I seriously dont know some people have a prob with GenX. Sure we are opinionated but we dont cheat, we play fair and we do what we can do help this community grow. Where are the posts about BRO5 and WASP choosing q3dm17? Nothing until GenX played q3dm3.

And there *has* been voices that want to change the rules to exclude q3dm3 after our first war against BRO. Never found out who wanted this change though.

Also, I never said No complained when he asked why non TDM maps could be chosen. I understand why it would seem that way because of how my post was written but the complain part was about something else.

Someone told me, on msn so wont say who, that there had been "complains" about our choice of maps, and that ppl wanted to "forbid that map", that is what I referred to in my complain post on the league shoutbox, maybe I should have been more clear.

When No first says loosers and I say "thanks for the looser comment" he answers "spawnfragging, need I say more" I take it as he calls us loosers.

AND, I seriously had no idea that there were "TDM Maps" until Don Pedro explained it to me. Fine, if there are TDM maps and if you want to change the rules that is ok with me.

God I need to learn to write shorter posts.. Lastly I wanna say that I don't mind people don't liking our choice of maps, what I am angry about is that there has been complains, people want to change the rules (because it is GenX choosing these maps) and people calling us names (again).

I agre with pandora, i think we would have more teamplay with CTF. And superbro, you know why no one complains about WASP & BRO5 chosing dm17, its because we never played the match :roll: u said it yourself, people complanined after you had played.

It will be intressting what will be said after FRV vs BRO5 game later today,cause the maps are:

Q3DM3 (frv choise)
Q3DM14 (league)
Q3DM17 (bro5 choise)

I dont think we can change any rulez, cause games has already been played, frankly its not possible; i agre with Alien.

I also reacted on No's coment, and when he kept trashing i didnt know what to belive.

Ok, but you will have to take my word for it, we are not working to change the rules, I would object to it in fact.

if you see someone spawn, isn't it more like kill or be killed? Because I know, that if someone spawns next to me, he will try to shoot me no mather what....

especially in a cw... right?
