Guest GL_Raptor Posted November 2, 2001 Share Posted November 2, 2001 The point of this thread wasn't rushing (again) it was a code of conduct that is understood by all players. For example, if there is bug that gives you an advantage if you use it, don't. That is all that was meant by this thread. The reason I made this one is because the LAST thread about an honor code was overrun by the rush vs long game discussion. Well as long as that is what this is going to be about.... Rushing is a perfectly workable and acceptable tactic, but, in my own oppinion, stratagy games should be more about the tactics of battle, setting up units in preferable locations and using diverse groups of units to your advantage. Unfortunatly NOT rushing doesn't do this eather. Generally when people wait a long time the game turns into a battle between massed groups of units that just attempt to batter their way through the front door. All in all though, longer games are just more fun for everyone involved, period the end. Only people who NEED the win to have fun would say that taking an opponant out before he even has a chance is fun. Rushing is a way to win and that's all. It can be countered easily enough but if it isn't there is NO fun whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats YOUR opinion. dont tell me what I should think is fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GL_Raptor Posted November 2, 2001 Share Posted November 2, 2001 When you kill somone before they even get an army you have just eliminated at least half the game. Where is the fun in that? And besides, it is mostly new players who have trouble stopping the rush. Somone who has fun beating up on a newbie is just wrong. Not that EVERYONE who gets rushed is a newb, or that is there is anything WRONG with being new to a game. I personally was once a newb, and still get rushed so there you go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest porkins14 Posted November 2, 2001 Share Posted November 2, 2001 Again, all experienced players wont be exactly the same. For example, there is a guy with screen name sweetsaymalasy or something like that, he is an EXTREMELY good rusher. However I have played other vets who are very good at other things like late game. The fun in this game for me comes in scouting and seeing what the enemy has and OUT STRATEGIZING him. Not in massing huge armies and going head to head. The difference is, I dont call people cheateers who disagree with me, all of you guys say people who dont play like you are "not fun, cheaters, or cowards". That's my point in all this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GL_Raptor Posted November 2, 2001 Share Posted November 2, 2001 Well I'm not saying you are cheap or a cheater. Your right that I can't express the views of EVERYONE. I myself don't find rushing fun at all and I don't see how anyone else can, but if you say that it is I will have to take your word for it. On the other hand I find massing units fun so not everyone has a problem with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kell Posted November 3, 2001 Share Posted November 3, 2001 "ooh you can't use certain tactics like killing workers and rushing" Come on!Those are tactics,and part of the game, and if you don't permit others to play a part of the game, then you shouldn't be playing it! What next?Rules on how many units you can use to attack with, depending on what sort of units they are and what defenses the enemy has? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Luke Skywalker Posted November 3, 2001 Share Posted November 3, 2001 Ive learned that towers are essential to monitor your base. If your playing with the likes of Tirion and can't express this any more. He will destroy you by not letting you grow because he builds a military base in very close promimety to yours. Im sure that alot of people will be using this strategy or further developing it so be weary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bobio Posted November 3, 2001 Share Posted November 3, 2001 Somone used that tactic on me yesterday, but I managed to repel him afer he attacked my base atleast 3 differrent times. I was lucky, since my opponent didn't build any turrets or fortress at the base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordQuiGonJinn Posted November 3, 2001 Share Posted November 3, 2001 I agree with GL Raptor on alot of stuff but i think those Rusher Supports and guys who like to eliminate newbs in tech one stink, the games suppose to be fun for everyone not just the rusher but besides that maybe some of you should teach some newb board members how to deal with certian Advanced Tactics instead of bashing and penelizing them for not knowing how to counter it. We are all friends here even though we disagree on this stuff. So what about it, someone explain some strats on countering some of the stuff that bother newbs? Maybe show them in game once it comes out? Least then you can get your point across better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bifficvs Posted November 3, 2001 Share Posted November 3, 2001 Not being a good(not bad, but not good) player, maybe this doesn't work...but couldn't you just build walls very early on before a rush, with troops nearby to take out stuff that's built near your base????
