Allen Wren, CS-aligned Opinionated Noob, has been MODKILLED d5 for being a shitter!  You find yourself in an empty temple. Where there were once ornate sculptures of heroes and tales of valor etched into fine marble, now you find piles of rubble and a fine dust that finds its way into everything. Where you would once see the stars dance in beautiful rhythm as the sweet aromas of petunias and lilacs lifted you to a wondrous place you had never before known, now you find only clouds and compost. Where once streams of clear water meandered through a beautiful valley as if nature itself was urging the beauty of your soul to sing with it, now you find only cracked dirt lightly salted by tears. *snap* This is the state of competitive FPS games today. An entertainment sector devoid of creativity and looking to find ways that make the game easier while maintaining the illusion of difficulty. A community unwilling to try with a low interest in outperforming their peers. A medium that has remained stagnant since the early 2000s. A society obsessed with instant gratification that a game that requires learning and effort simply cannot meet. Mini-transactions that look to gentrify the last frontier of competition. Against all of this, there stands but one force. You. You are the final bearer of the torch, the last bastion of the dream of actual competition on the amazing thing we call “the internet”. Even now, there are subversive elements looking to snuff you out, to drive out players and bleed you dry. You must not let them. You must keep the game you love alive. This... This is your story *loud clang that startles you and then cuts itself off midway through to symbolize an unfinished story* Welcome to Counterstrike: Global Offensive Mafia, a game for 23 players! Standard rules apply but I’ll list some anyway. DONT: Post after Hammers Post your role PMs Use Truth or Dare or Encryption or any bullshit like that Communicate with anyone, alive or dead, OOT unless I say you can Edit your posts Talk about Anime. Illegal. I’ll ban you. I count as Anime too so don’t talk about me. I’ll ban you. I’ll ban you!! DO: PM me night actions as quickly as you risk doing nothing if you neglect pming me for 24 hours. Have Fun I'm going to gently caress up lurkers. Although I'm sure one or more of you may test me on that front, know that I am a man without mercy. By lurking, you will almost certainly be hurting your team and the game at large, and that is going to Make Me Mad. Ask for a replacement if something comes up as soon as you can.  This game will not be using a buy menu. I have another CS setup that requires too much drat effort right now that will involve that in the future. Replacements(?): 1.) Windshipper (1/10/15 or later) I'll leave the signups open until we're a little bit overfull. I'll take replacement signups as well and if you sign up for that, feel free to specify when you'd be ready by (day 2, 3, etc). Diqnol fucked around with this message at 01:28 on Jan 20, 2015 |

Grenades are also very important but they aren't something to honestly focus on while you're learning. They can very easily get you killed or cause you to waste money so my advice is to only buy smokes for now and put them in places where enemies have to run through. If they have to run through smoke at, say, long A on dust2 and you're watching it, you have a huge advantage. Never push through smoke unless you're flashing the poo poo out of it with a full team.

merk posted:How do you dethrone an AWP guy without flashes/HEs? Like on dust2, how do you take long A if they have an AWP and you don't unless you can get a flash in? Frankly, you don't, but it depends what you mean. AWP guy watching doors at long can be beaten by a good T spawn location; you get there first and thus have the advantage. You can also quick peek him to bait his shot and then push while his gun resets immediately after. If you mean an awp on A site, you have to outshoot him regardless. Always smoke the crossing between long A and A site if you're pushing that way, btw. Flashing "right" to beat that awper involves you running out as a teammate throws the flash; that is to say, before the flash detonates. You also have to run out backwards. From there you abuse your mobility advantage and pray he misses or you hit.

It's complicated, but suffice it to say cheating is lovely and that there is always a chance you're playing with or against a cheater. But you probably aren't, so don't shout that every time you get p0wn3d.

First off, it shouldn't do that. I play on my badge alt and include my single AK brother and his silver friends. Second off, it's not hard to tank games. Purposely miss grenades, aim above heads, run while you shoot etc and you'll plummet within 5 games.Rarity posted:Yeah sure I'm in Heck yeah!!

CS Elo is complicated. You can win every game for a week and not rank up if your score is always bad or if the game thinks your fundamentals are that off (and yes, it can calculate these things based on shots missed and such). It's also largely dependent on the strength of your opponents. If at the end of a match you look at the ranks for everyone and it seems like you were chosen by the matchmaker to lose and you won, you'll more quickly rank up. I've gone from DMG to LE in 3 games and I've done it in 100. Playing with good people only helps a bit, you can't be dragged into a good rank too much, though I have a friend who would argue against that.

I use a controller to play Dark Souls, Super Meat Boy, and Bethesda games. Using one to play FPS games is putting yourself at an insane disadvantage unless your thumb reflexes and control are so insanely on point that your slightly shaky hand can't match it.

You were one of the best at mastering a handicap. MLG console gamers would get crushed by mediocre PC gamers because the mouse is so very much better at aiming. What I'm trying to say is, perhaps you should try KB+M again and see if you hate it less since it's good stuff.

So I'm not gonna launch until tomorrow night. I have more invites out, so if we get a sufficient number of additions, I can tweak the setup to accommodate. Otherwise, make sure ya'll have time to still play this (the game opened a while back so I understand if you don't!) and I'll send PMs out tomorrow night. Hurt, if nobody else signs up (unlikely) and nobody decides "nah..", then I have to put ya on the replacement list.

The server is quiet. Not a single person is populating it. The server runs lag free and happy. Soon this will change. The announcement is made about its opening, and suddenly players from all walks of CS begin to join. Before long, the server is full and bodies are fragged more frequently than rain falls in the plains of Spain. But not all was well in this capitalist shooting paradise. Lag had come, and the server god would not increase the bandwidth. So it fell upon the denizens of this fair field to solve the issue. There was only one way, spake one. The server population must diminish. And so a bright man, a man named fatal1ty, a man far ahead of his time, created the system by which this goal would be achieved. The undesirables, the noobs and the hackers, would be sought after and rooted out of the community by way of The Holy Instrument Of God: Vote kicks. These votekicks would be given the power to permanently ban those who faced their wrath; a truly ominous power. But who were these undesirables? How would they determine who they might be? And it was so that a ceasefire was signed. A counterstrike server without shots. This uneasy peace could only last so long… It is now Day 1!
