*DAMN R6 Forum

Hello all you AA clans. a2 is lookin for a match. If you would like to set one up ( preset time and date and maps and such) please contact myself, typhy, or voodoo. Or if you like to "spur of the moment" war please feel free to contact us. We are ready when you are.

Hell, contact anyone in a2. We all like cbing.  :)

For the next 48 hours, even if only one of us is on, give them a shout - I just got ban from GR for 2 days, so they can get me off AIM.

LOL, for what typhy? I think that BTs would be looking to cb as soon as we find out how to play the game lol.

lmao, typhy you retard. What'd you do this time.

He said that he was gonna warez RVS, which i set him up to saying, and he did. Then i tried to show evill the chatlog of typhy saying he was an admin again, but to avail.

Did i not say that there would be less clans playing AA than RS? Well here we are again, and i'll be dumbfounded if there are more than 4 active Mac clans who play AA. Gameranger also doesn't work with AA anymore. Evill also said he will be taking that game out, his reason is that he is someone who is of the homosexual persuasion or something to that extent.

I could care less about getting ban from GR. I don't play any games through it, so it hardly matters. I only use it as a way to chat and look for CBs.

I would challenge A2 but not for a CB but for fun, since obviously A2 will win the battle league. Whats the use? Macs best aa players are allready signed up. Its another monopoly.

Well |GM| won't be cb'ing this season prolly we all just started playin AA... I got it from saturday  :) But I like the game and hope I will be able to cb once before RvS comes out, because then all my attention will go to that game...

Hope to meet you soon in one of the AA servers.

I love how all your attention will go to a game that you've never played. Isn't it nice that you have such high expectations? Such a shame that you'll be let down.

I really don't understand the whole "I won't CB because we'll lose", or "we're still learning the game, so we won't CB for a while" type attitudes. Perhaps it's beacuse so many Ghost Recon players take their gaming so seriously? It's a computer game, guys. It's for fun. Why not CB? Who cares if you lose? The important part is that you enjoy yourselves.

Yes, A2 does have most of the best AA players right now. However, the game is still young. I believe that I have the highest honor in A2 ( 36 ). 36 honor, that's not hard to get. We're good players, yes. Are we great players? No. It's not hard to learn, not hard to gain skill. All it takes is a little practice. And again, what do you have to lose in CBing?

not cbing because they probely win and they will win the battleleague.
hmm how can they win when noone played a cb.
and if they probely win you can cb them and lose because you already know you dont have a chance.
cbing is the best for getting better and better

Well typhy the problem is: I just learned how to run in AA yesterday so to speak. Oh it will be nice for me to get shot from the first second I move, having the knowledge I have to sit out the next 7-8 min waiting untill the first round is over. NOT. I've got 11 honor for the moment from 5 days of playing the game.

But if you wanna cb I'll try to get some of guys of |GM| to play this weekend. We've got Harvey, Ghost, Slayer, Kuza, Rat... all capable of playing AA.

I'm gonna try, not promising anything... I need the players first to play.  :)

I just want one rule: only Mac users are allowed. That way there is no xtreme advantage.

Ok going to study the rules now.
Cya this weekend hopefully, if I can get my guys together.

A little message to eight:

Why not? What do you have to lose? You lose? So what, you haven't played yet - so you don't lose any points.

Is this what it's come to? Where if you're not sure you can win, you won't even play, nor let your members play? C'mon, man. Show some balls, come CB.

<Rebel> A lil msg from Rebel....no match Eight? cSee.....i can deal with that....so i offered a scrim with it not counting for BL....still no.....nothing to lose cept ur pride......damn i expected more from a #1 GhR Clan leader..... </Rebel>

Oohhh, admin wars, is it, Rebel? Stick 'em up!

He has even less to lose if he doesn't play you at all. What do you have to lose typhy that you need to play them so bad? Afraid you won't win the first AA BL?

Stop bullying people. If they don't want to cb they don't want to cb. They want to train, let them train there is no rule against making your clan better instead of cbing.  Typhy we both know you wouldn't play with people who haven't learned the game yet and don't have the experience that you and your clan has. You would be singing a completely different song if you were on the other side of the argument. Why not give them time to actually learn the game then cb. Just a thought...

umm.. right.. ty if i wanted to have fun i rather just have 2v2 + battles that dont count. Then, i dont need to listen to this, "we win, you loose" woopty do crap.

Yeah, we aren't as prepared for an AA cb as a2 is yet, i'm sure you will find some matches some day.

We offered to scrimmage against BTs.

It's kinda obvious that you're not as prepared as us. We're an AA clan. We spend our time practicing and training at AA. Does that mean that you shouldn't CB us? It shouldn't have anything to do with how well prepared you are; it's a game, it's for fun.

Haz, what gives you that illusion? The only time that I turned down CBs because I didn't have the "right members" on was back in AK. And that was AK, so it's pretty self-expainatory. In both -MP5- and AcE, I've CBed anyone regardless of who I have on.


Haz, I could care less about the Battle League. I want to CB, that's what makes games fun for me. The only reason I quit playing Rogue Spear is because there weren't CBs anymore; games are no fun for me without CBs.

I like the ladder. I think it helps to give things a competitive aspect; which I think makes them more fun. However, at this point, all I want to do is CB. I could care less wether it counts or not. We were signed up for TWL, we got kicked off because there is no mac version of CDC - a required anti cheat client. Other mac clans are the only people we can CB. We're an AA clan, we want to CB at AA; you're the only people we can CB - pretty straight forward.

Listen, Im all willing for a "for fun" AA ladder this season if that is what its going to take to get a few FUN cb's in. I just want to battle with another clan in a game that I like playing. Ghr has just lost its grip on me. :(

If it makes you feel any better...

If that decision was up to me, I would have said yes to a CB.

:nods:, whatever. Arguing doesn't improve the chances of a CB, so let's end it here. Looking forward to a match, wether it be for the ladder or not.

Typhy try not to give any Bts member crap cept Eight. Crypt and Psycho both wanted to war it was eight who didnt.

I'll be happy to cb -a2-, once I figure out how to get a 2D version of the game so my 8mb video card can handle it.

Uh, how about not giving him any crap Typhy, eight can do what he wants with his clan, just as you can, leave him alone.

Yay im in another clan that everyone is afraid to war......

lmao  ;)

What I'll never understand is why people join a ladder when they'll never cb.

Like all those people that joined the rs ladder last season...

Hell, we had to cb AK when rapid wasn't looking. ( ;) Kilz )


Anyway... GET THE CB'S STARTED!

To |AK| Rapid (Guest),

I have deleted your post because:

?   It took up too much room on my screen.
?   I believe this is a thread directed towards AA, not the dwindling RS or R6.
?   It was an extremely poor attempt at flaming... extremely poor, but an attempt to flame nonetheless.

|AK| Rapid (Guest), please grow up... just try.  Showing SS's of a game is one of the dumbest attempts at trying to show ownage.  I'm sure there are a few SS's out there that show |AK| getting owned just the same.  Perhaps you should open a thread that is simply titled:

|AK| Rapid's Hall of Screen Shot Ownage[/sarcasm]

.::|N| Noto

P.S.  I wasn't the one who deleted your post earlier.  Thanks for assuming though.  It just helps to point out even more that you have no clue of what's going on.

I dealth with your post, so back off Noto (back off of Noto he meant - Noto) and stop randomly accusing people.

I moved it out of the view of the public. I'll copy over what I tagged it with: "I didn't move this because it has to do with my clan. I moved it because it's completly off topic. One line, about 5 words, of Snipe's post had to do with this."

That pretty much sums it up.

I really want to play an AA cb against you guys, the only problem is I don't have a team...  :(

I tried to stay up this weekend, I waited on my guys untill 3 am my time... But they didn't come online. And when I came back online 9am my time, my guys went to bed... :(

So I'm still hoping to be able to cb you guys once this season, because on my own it wouldn't be much of a cb.

And Rebel I'm not afraid, I'm having fun playing AA, to bad I don't have a team. Mb I'll stay up untill 6am next weekend...
We'll see.

th.Sent

I am sure we will CB once we get shit together.  You have to understand there is only 3 of us who even play the game really, and even then people like me really don't have a full grip on the game yet.  Shit, I know maybe 3 maps really well.

Plus, it's hard for all 3 of us to be on-line at the same time ready to CB.  With the holidays coming work is beating our asses right now.  That means less games, more work, holiday money.

Yes, if Sentinel stays up til 6 am in Belgium, and my wife lets me get on the computer in Mississippi, and Harvey doesn't have to work in North Carolina, then by gosh we'll CB you guys!!!  We do have a team, it is just 3 people in 3 different time zones that aren't always on at the same time......lol

For all you clans looking for members, i suggest downloading AA 1.9 and playing in public servers. There are still many mac players that play 1.9 because they either a. dont like 2.0 or b. have trouble finding servers. Ive ran into MANY mac players on 1.9 that would be intrested in joining clans. Take my advice and find out.

Too Bad rapid is banned from the forums till the first of the year...

Does it actually surprise anyone that there hasn't been an AA cb yet?

Trouble finding servers?  Umm... I know I can join about 500 different servers... I'm running 2.0.  It shouldn't be a problem.  If you are having difficulty running 2.0, you might want to do a clean install of 1.9, and then update to 2.0 immediately.  There seems to be a bug when you play before you update.


Doesn't surprise me one bit.  I know the N guys are on AA all the time now, but I don't think a single one of us has even checked out the SOP for AA CB's.  By the way, how do you turn the threat indicator on in AA?

;)  

.::|N| Noto

SOP? Threat Indicator?

SOP = Standard Operating Procedure.

I don't have a clue how a CB is run with AA.  I need to look into that.

Threat Indicator = An indicator of the position of threat, and its close proximity.

A noob tool that was thrown into my post merely as a joke.  Imagine having threat indicators in all aspects of life.  It would be funny.  ;)

.::|N| Noto

Hey -a2-!!!  Let's CB this weekend!!!  Our CB can be the first official Mac AA CB on the *DBL.  Sound good?  Just look us up, or post on our forum (http://cwdim.com/forum).

sounds good noto. ill have my members on saturday night at around 9 so gimme the ammount u wanna play ( 3v3 4v4 5v5 6v6 ) and we can set it up.

who hosts? the challenger or the challeng'e?

and I figured the comment about the TI was a joke, but didnt know how noobish you were to the game. ;)

Hmm... if there is a CB between our groups, it might need to be Friday instead of Saturday.  I guess I jumped the gun when I said Saturday night.  Some of our guys will be away starting Saturday.  And about the host... I don't think it really matter.  We can host since we challenged you though. ;)  Find me sometime tomorrow to work out details.  In the mean time...

"Hooah!"

.::|N| Noto

BTW, I posted this in the AA area, in case you guys missed it.

http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~damnr6/yabbse/index.php?board=4;action=display;threadid=5259

Hosting on a mac is back.

Oh, and while I know using a private, leased server will almost always be better, this is for those that can't, or times when it's not.

I downloaded the file; however, the script ( I assume that's what it is ) just crashes whenever I try to run it. Anyone else try it?

Friday would be good for the cb for me as well.  I know we have the option to host TWL offical matches.  Would we be using this config for cbs?  As far as the script is concerned, I thought Mainmon was the person to ask for hosting complications on the mac?  

Also, I think "Hooah" now gives me wood.   ;D

Yeah, even though I spent half an hour explaining all that stuff to Mainman and sending him the tutorial. ;)

The perfered way, Diesel, would be to have a server launching program, or a single script. Hence the link that Bucc posted.

If DAMN didnt rush this AA league we could have had a mock league, a fake league. No points or gloting... just having some practice 2v2, 4v4s ect...

Oh blow it out your arse Mainman.  *DAMN didn't rush this and you know that.  It was pushed heavily by the people who wanted it as a part of this league.  And since no CB's have taken place, I consider everything I have done so far as practice, and it has been with my boys N_DIESEL, N_GEN BILLY, N_juGGla, N_Broken, jsocrotes (N_Soc), and myself of course.  That's 6 guys from my clan that seem to practice quite a bit with each other.  We don't need a fake league to even out the chances or anything.  Let's just play.

.::|N| Noto

"Hello, Testing, Hello..."  Is this mic on?!"  

Did I miss somthing here?   ???

While I won't disagree with MainMan in such a hostile manner (chill out Noto), I will disagree.
The last time DAMN didn't rush something, we completely lost summer cbing.  :(
If no one cb's, then so be it. We'll have the ladder again next season when people are more accustomed to the gameplay.

 :-[                                                              ::) ?

Weee my ? is back!

 The AA ladder will neve be as active as the GHR ladder was at it's peak. I know that. We all know that.

When there was the 3 month break from the *DAMN BL, it totally fucked up our summer CBing season. Who cares if the ladder goes inactive this season? It's spread the interest around, and I have no doubt that it'll pick up next season.

Noto....we have planned Friday for open tryouts for our clan. It starts at 9 pm east but if i dont get enough people there ( all though i doubt that ) then firday sounds good.....but if i get agood showing im sticking with the tryout and we will ahve to find another day for the match....mb next weekend cause next friday is the beginning of break and i dont have to study like mad for mid terms. If next week sounds good to you please reply but i would like to know what maps u guys choose ( you guys pick 2 maps and we pick the final one ). The sooner the better. Im not a fan of doing matches for AA on 2 days notice so mb a weeks notice is better. Gimme a holler with the 2 maps and ill get back ASAP.

BTs will win the AA ladder... we will cb u guys A2... and any other clans wanting in on us. As of right now Im trying to get a grasp for the game... dont really wanna play with any of u guys (no offense) im just trying to find my own lil way of playing... on top of that im trying to get my other boys converted and up to speed.....

I know that me Fusion and FahQ2 will be up for a cb soon.... soon.


mark my words... WE WILL WIN THE AA LADDER THIS SEASON!

Just by reading this late thread Eight- It looks to me that you arent ready to cb in the near future.. LOL.     ;D

I know for a fact that Sar and Crypt should not be in that cb!   ;)

I can't wait to own all of these noob "GhR vet's" who think their the best of the best. You havn't had real competition until you fight the RS vets, players who know what CQC is all about. Prepare to die a long painful death in any cb's you face against a2.

Noto, finally I will get the chance to face you in a game and make you eat your big words.

JOY  ;D

Them like fightin' words!

Stick 'em up!

lmfao...BtS win the AA BL? Eight u fuxing suck at AA, i saw u play and u are HORRIBLE. When i say BTs i mean Eight not sar or psycho but EIGHT. U talk crap like a GhR noob and u will get your ass handed to you. Im ready when u are little 12 year old prick.

Ultimo, just a question, if you don't have a mac capable of playing these games (like you mentioned in the RvS talk) how are you going to CB in AA?  It's got almost the same requirements.

Because he has a PC capable of playing in these games. All that he has to be able to do is come onto GameRanger. He can join the game on whatever machine he wants.

First of all, take a fucking joke Ult.

Secondly, stfu about how RS players are so much better than GhR players, it sounds childish.


Again, take a joke.

I'm sure eight is older than you, especially when you talk shit like that.


Just for kicks, what does that mean? ;) ??? 8) :o :( >:( :D :-X

lmao.... now it's a joke..... whatever we'll settle this in a cb  ;)

I'll play don't get me wrong, but it isn't up to me/if I play, but I see nothing to be settled really.

Reb: rs vet
Ult: rs vet
Vood: rs vet
Snipe: rs vet
Typhy: rs vet
Myst: rs vet
Frags: rs vet


Hmm... pwnage?

huh, what??!?  ???

I thought there was some talk about this couple seasons ago when ppl were joining GhR cb's with their PC's and mauti changed it from "almost mac only league" to "only mac's and nothing else league"

Correct me if im wrong.

Joka: Heart of China vet

lol, thats the spirit Eight. Sorry about the rest of the guys, they dont seem to grasp healthy "shit talking". ;)

not really :) :) :) :) :) :) ;D ;D :D ;) ::)

You are correct. However due to America's army having punkbuster (cheat prevention built into the game) there is no reason as to why I shouldn't be able to participate. Unless your scared of my GeForce FX 5600 and its awesome fps  ;)

Ultimo is a legitimate part of this community unlike the PC users I think Mauti was targeting with that rule.

 I would like to think that we could have a lose enough community that people would be able to accept players like Ejo, Xoclipse and Ultimo. If not, we'll have to right it into the rules as "anyone who can get on GameRanger can CB. They can join on whatever machine they please", or something along those lines. However, I'd like to think that we don't have to do that.

Hey, slightly off topic, but does anyone know if there is any way to get onto GameRanger from a PC?  Any little program out there that would allow that (not to play games, but just to talk to other people on)?  I have my Mac at home, but am stuck on a PC all day at work and would love to be able to log into GameRanger just to talk to people on.....

Nope. GameRanger is strictly mac only.



oh, and Crypt: If your little Smiley Demonstration is you shooing -a2-, it's demonstrated quite well, since we're all laughing at your pathetic attempts at sniping!

 8)

Typhy, it's already covered in the rules that only if the other team accepts it.

But you do have to let them know in a CB which players are on PC's and they do have the right to refuse it, the way it's set up now.  

I don't see it fair for them to get high fps while most of us other guys on macs suffer low fps.

and btw snipe, I really wasn't implementing that, but it does look like it on second thought :P (me)  ::) ("rs vets")

Yes, thats exactly what im affraid off. Now how is it gona be a fair fight when you own us  mac players who mostly have 10fps with 100fps. No shit -a2- is gona win if you play with your PC. Surroundsound to pin point the enemy direction...

Its like you enter some street racing tournament thats for ford's only and you come to the race with your ferrari and say "well i got a ford at home, isnt that good enough"

 If we're banning people because their machines get nice framerates, then perhaps we'll have to restrict G5s as well? No machine with a processor greater than 1.42GHZ ( Max G4 speed ).  No graphics cards which are better than the ATI Radeon 9700. That sound good to you guys?
 

"sarcasm, the weapon of the weak (mentally)"

If it says "Mac only" then shouldnt it be Mac only? Thats all im saying

Hey,  you evidentally havn't seen the new Ford GT Supercar.  In production very soon (at $150,000) and it will eat Farrari for breakfast......

Crypt, Joka,  you go into the built in a'a game list and join games with 99% of the people are playing on PC's. So what exactly is the big deal here, other then just to complain about Mac poor fps?

When we first started playing we joined TWL league(an all PC ladder) and had some wins and we were heading in the right direction untill some of the leaders started complaining that we couldnt run CDC (another anti cheat client). My point is I have no problem playing agains any PC players because they have NO advantage over us.

Xoclipse?  Hmm... I see his future in the court rooms...

Nice website btw...

.::|N| Noto

Well at least we dont Voodoo but then again we are the eleet of the mac AA group....just cause u choose to buy a mac and play against a clan who has 1 pcer doesnt mean u cant beat us.....oh wait were a2......nm u cant beat us

Lot of strange shit talking about a game when not even a single CB has been played yet. ;)

-a2-, sorry about the CB for this weekend.  A lot of our guys have just been very busy (end of semester, work, brother hom from Iraq, gf that gives great head, wives, etc.)  I think Typhy mentioned it might be better for next weekend anyway.  Let's see if we can pull something together this week or not.  I'll remind my guys to leave GR running for PM's and shit (so they can hear them and such).  Anyway, sorry about that.  I can't wait to CB.

wOOt

.::|N| Noto

P.S.  "Hooah!"

I understand why the "no pc players" rule was instated. It was put there because in former games, RS and GhR there was no cheat prevention, and pc players were more likely to have hacks being they were so accessible.

However, AA has cheat prevention built into it. There is no way I am cheating. And even if there was, many poeple can vouch that I don't need cheats to win.

If your gonna sit there and bitch because I have better fps then you... because I put money into a gaming machine and you didn't..... then that's just pathetic

You totally missed my point, all you need to do to win is to pick a big wide poen map and yuou will win, all you need to do is to pick hospital and you will win any all mac clan by default. It's about fairness.

You made your choice, you bought a PC. Live with it

Joka, show me 25, 10 honor PC newbies who get 100 FPS at Hospital and I'll beat them down at 20 FPS on my mac.

Guys, you are really missing the point.  It's not all about cheating and about frame rates.  This is a Mac league.  

clanladder only for Mac (Apple Macintosh) clans and players operating in GameRanger. Ip joining as well as other platform players are only allowed if both clans agree. Only clanbattles set up through GameRanger are counted towards the ladder.

It's covered.  If clans don't want to allow the PC users, they don't have to.

I realize that A2 is a mixed clan, not a Mac clan, but that in itself doesn't change the rules.  Implying that people are chickenshit doesn't help either.  

Talking about Ultimo and Ejo as staples of this community don't help much as well, since they've been gone from play so long that many of the players and clans don't have a clue who they are.  

And while punkbuster does eliminate 90% of the cheats (by their own estimates), it's only one factor.

If you don't like the rules as they are, you should ask for them to be changed.  But bitching about it isn't really constructive.

 If I have to do it, I'll have the rule changed for the AA ladder. No, this isn't just beacuse Ult's in our clan, it's because everyone should have a right to join on whatever machine gives them the best change.

The rule ( for the AA ladder ) will probably end up reading something along the lines of "Anyone who can get on GameRanger can play, you may join on whatever machine you want."

I would like to have thought that people could just accept people like Ult, Xo and jo, but aparently not.  

Joka, I cant run the bigger maps either like Recon, but what if we were a clan composed of all G5's. Would you still be complaining(maybe complaining isnt the right word, but it seems to fit) that its not fair to play on the larger open maps because you cant compete with our faster macs? Come on people, it sounds to me that most of you are complaining just for the hell of it.

You made your choice, you bought a Mac, Live with it.

vood's


Buc, we are not a mixed clan. We started out as a all Mac clan and still are a all mac clan. Utimo just happens to be on a pc. He hasnt war'ed with us, nor is he a very active member. There are no other PC players in A2.

hmmm,

     I thought a2 stood for A.merica's A.pples.  Am I the only one?  And since when can one guy (Typhy or otherwise) singlehandedly change ladder rules? ???

Quite simple, Kill Kill, I know that the other AA admins will agree with me.

America's Apples. Everyone in the clan owns a Mac. ( Ult has a 450 G4, 512 RAM, GeForce 2MX, I believe ).

I'm not arguing this for my clan. I'm arguing it becaues it's what is right.

Also, let me ask you this: AA games can't be hosted through GR - how are you going to know which computer a given player connects with? You're not. To avoid issue, it makes sense to write into the rules that you can join on a PC as long as you can be on GameRanger before the CB, or something along those lines.

I dunno Typy, it seems a bit wrong to suddenly have the DAMN (Mac bl league) open to PC users... Perhaps players in general don't mind it at all... But what we are basically talking about is Mac Clans with some Mac members who also have PC's and use them to take advantage of the Framerates etc... Dosn't seem very fair

To put it quite simply, he cant. Mauti is the only one who can change rules. We can only suggest and give support for or agains any rule change.

vood's

I think it should stay a mac only league either way, inviting any pc players into play could lead to more corrupt the league as it's known for macs. Bad idea? I think so.

Allow PC owners to play on the league only if they can prove that they are die-hard Mac Lovers and post a picture on the forum of the new Rainbow-colored Apple they just had tattood on their forehead.

If that is how the rule will be worded, I'll start running right now.  Anyway, the content of your version of the rule basically goes against what the *DAMN BL is.  It's an all Mac BL, and it's basically up to Mauti on this one I think.

I personally don't care if I play against a PC or not, but if there are that many people having issues with it, and if there aren't that many people with PC's that this concerns, then I say please the majority.  You wind up making quite a few people happy about not letting PC's in, and you're only shutting out a couple of PC's.  

In closing, I think part of the fear is that letting PC's into the *DBL without the agreeance of both clans would be like opening the floodgates for the future of this league.  I'm not saying I agere with that, but I can imagine some people have that in the back of their minds.
