Silkroad Online Forums

LOL. Advisor or whatever you call it.
Seriously, gotta answer my question first, before you ask your own, even though I knew you were JP. Thought you were dead, SK?

One does not simply die.


Also, firebat?

''what do you want?!?!?''

You have to answer mine first before you can ask your own. But it's a Vulture. Can anybody answer mine? Shadow?

Lol @ Fena, I'm not doing map editor now.

If I have to 'cheat' at a online game at a forum site dedicated to Silkroad just to feel superior to someone else I'd have to smash my computer.

You called down the thunder. Now reap the whirlwind.

Maybe 5 more ghost quotes and I'll get confused.


*Grunt-gruntity-grunt* Give you a hint, it's a zerg

Seriously:

You want another physical?

Said of course in hawt voice.

Come on, Shadow. Thought you were going to give me a competition? What other unit would ask you for a physical other than a Medic?



First to give a wrong answer loses. I know you can do better than this.

Tsk Tsk Tsk, protoss units, not going to win that way.

I'll give you the hardest one so far award:

Arbiter

I told 'em I was claustrophobic, I gotta get outta here.

Very hard. My first guess is an SCV. My second guess would have to be a Civ. Think both of them say something about being claustrophobic. But I also think that I might be sunk.

If I DID get it right though, here ya go:

Oh wow, I though I had you with that one, you got it on first, SCV.

I only remembered it from an inside joke a while back.

As for your quote, amazingly hard, I'll have to give you credit for that. Took me a lot of grinding to choose between marine Raynor or infested Duran.

I'll pick... Duran. I think you just won with that one. I'm not gonna bother posting a quote because I really can't decided between the two. If I'm right, well I can't afford to let you go again. I'll take a little time to think up a good one.

Dunno if anyone can see this but I've edited this post so many times XD. If its a Raynor for Kerrigan quote I'm gonna be pissed, and I got my quote.

We move.

I'll give you a caution on this one, there are a lot of moves, this is 'we' move.

You got it.
Unfortunately, yours was easy for me. You would've won with anybody else, except me, because the Dark Archon is my favorite BW Unit. Tough luck, but a good try nonetheless. Actually, Toss probably isn't a good bet for you, just as a hint, because Toss is my best race... actually, the only race that I ever play as.

Try this one.


BTW, I'm going out to work out right now. I'll be back in around one and a half hours. So sit tight.

I will shamelessly admit I may or may not have sat at my chair listening to a medic talk over and over again. >.> <.<

I think we may have a gas leak.

Backk.
I'm going to have to say a Science Vessel, out of pure guesswork, although I'm sure that it's right. Protoss don't say that kind of stuff, and Zerg just grunt. Thus, it has to be a Terran. Ground units don't say that, because if you had a gas leak for a ground unit like a Seige Tank or Goliath, it wouldn't really matter much. Now, a gas leak in the air - bam, you're screwed. Actually, was thinking of Pearl Harbor when I was trying to figure it out, where Rafe or whatever his name is goes down because of a gas leak.
Anyways, I'm accustomed to Science Vessels when I play Terran, if not only for the EMP against Toss. Wraiths and BC's are too serious in their chatter to say anything like that. Now, Sci Vessels say alot of wacky stuff.



BTW, just out of curiosity, Shadow, what's your style of play for SC? Are you a masser, or more guerrilla-like in tactics? And I really, honestly hope that you're not one of those people that play those noob Fastest Map Possible shit. Gayest map ever, no strategy at ALL involved. It's not so much of, "Do I have enough minerals to build up a good fleet?" anymore. It's a, "How fast can I build this fleet?" And it's not strategical at all, because it's all mass - money is of no object...
Gay map. I'd like to play you sometime.

Pearl Harbor... Pearl Harbor... must be the Taerran battleship.


Loosing your touch? I know this one easy, Raynor in Vulture.

As for my playing strategy, I'm complete opposite of rush with crap technology. I'm the hoarder that climbs the tech tree and kill with high rate weapons such as corsairs/reaver combo, and others, but I can't share all my secrets.

I used to do DT rush but then they nerfed it. The bastards!

But yeah, moving on with the game, this one I think is 50:50, you know it or you don't, probably one of the legends from SC:

So do not try my patience.

BTW, you a taerran user? Sounds like it.

Edit: My last post here today, I'll be back tomorrow. Also, I predict this thread will go to three pages where I will lose by a completely cheap Dunca or Duke quote. I don't know the Taerran heroes, just Raynor and Kerrigan, that is if you don't fall to my quotes first (which you will ).

Tassadar. Durr. Yes, Executor? You're losing your grip as well, haha. Let's bring this up a notch.
How'd they nerf the DT rush? I used to do that alot... but it was more of a DT / Reaver rush, since I needed Shuttles anyways. Reavers to distract from the DT's, which were cloaked anyways, so I'd order my DT's to hold position and just like, not attack anything, and then they'd finish the Reavers off, and think that everything was safe. Then there entire base would be dead. But yeah, how'd they nerf it? I'm more of a classic SC player, not BW - way, WAY too many hackers on BW these days. Ever been nuke-hacked before? Pain in the ass, man. Pain in the ass.

I actually play guerrilla. Come in, come out. Attack, back out. Just annoying. My matches take a long, long, long time, but at the end, the person that I'm playing is so annoyed and so pissed that his focus is completely off, and then I drop in with my main attack force, and he doesn't have a clue what's going on. My bases move like the wind. When I'm done with a mineral patch, I destroy my entire base, and move on to the next one. It'd be interesting to play you. Entirely different style of play.

(Sorry to interrupt guys but I have to say it's been awesome reading this and keeping up with you guys, I'm going to go play SC now! Man I remember for my birthday years ago we networked the 2 comps in my house and like 3 people were on a comp because that's all we had but it was fun )

AHAHAHAHAHA! Got you with that one! I was hoping you would pull out these quotes fast so I won't have to deal with them later.



That would be from the Crashed Battleship Duke was in, later a playable unit, a mission I actually remembered.

Guess we're going to have to match strategies too .

I'm almost positive that the DT attack speed was lowered, making them not as effective as before. Especially at their greatest feat, taking out infantry, which doesn't work as well if they take years to switch from dead marine to near death marine.

I can not express enough sorrow at BW, it's so sad that I can't use Dark Archons and Arbiters, who I place above High Templars as casters, but EVERYONE cheats. I can not find a good match, either they suck, or they hack.

I play all three but hate zerg as they have no casters, Queen does crap, and I like corsair over swarm, although swarm AoE is bigger. Guerrilla is annoying if played correctly especially against me because I expand early and get units late with many cannons. Which don't do crap against people that run away. Of course after I get HTs.... try and rush me.

@Above
Yay, another SC player, always welcome.

As I doubt I'll last too much longer against Taerran quotes, time to go one level above your raised level:



-insert evil laugh-

Aw, come on, Shadow. You said you were going to bring it up one more level. Your quotes, and mine as well, are way too easy. "We burn" is one of the basic quotes of the Archon, when you click on it, as well as, "Annihilate!" "Obliterate!" and a bunch of other stuff, lol. If you want to win, you're going to have to use quotes that are only heard in missions / quotes that could belong to multiple units... that kind of stuff. Come on. Make it harder.



Actually, IMHO, Zerg are the absolute best race for guerrilla warfare. Sure, Terran has the mobility, so there's no need to destroy your entire base when you're done, but the parasite, burrowing, Plague, and suicidal units that annoy the shit out of your opponents, just can't be beat. I just run around when I'm playing Zerg, parasite everything and anything I see, and then distract the enemy with a bunch of lings / scourages. The parasites are amazingly useful to find out the chinks in the enemy's defense, and you'd be surprised how often people don't notice it, especially if you parasite the right units - marines that are about to head into Bunkers, SCVs... etc. And once you find out the chinks, you don't go straight ahead and attack. You find out all the sub-bases, the expansions, and send lings, lings, lings. To each and everyone of them. The rate that you can produce units for Zerg is crazy, and since you can produce more units, that have less power for Zerg, it's awesome for distraction - more units, more attention that the enemy gives you. And Zerg perfectly fits the job.
Yes, my games take a long, long, LONG time to finish, simply because I dodge around, and never face the enemy head-on. Call me a coward, but this is just my style of play, and it works. My ladder game record was 312-23-2, and it would've been higher, but when I came back to playing SC, they removed the Ladder games or something?



What are you talking about?

BTW, anybody else that wants to, don't hesitate to pop in. I think I'm about to lose to Shadow, anyways, so save me from the disgrace.

I guess I should have know better than to try and trick you into thinking firebat, I didn't think enough people used archon. /shame


As for your quote, this is probably the first one I had to use elimination from scratch to get the answer. So here's my process, if my answer is wrong, point out where I was wrong, and I'll defeat you in quote game v.2.

1. Protoss doesn't joke, no protoss.

2. Zergs don't say anything, no zergs (well maybe infested people).

3. Now, that leaves Taerran. I know probably all of the sayings normal Taerran units say as they are mostly generic and I don't remember this one, so it's a hero.

4. The best know heroes with storyline appearances are Kerrigan, Raynor, Duke, and Duran.

5. Pretty sure Duke is more serious than he needs to be, especially with that accent so I'm mostly positive it's not Duke.

6. This is where the trouble starts: Raynor was care-free at first but I don't think he said this as I remember most of his lines, but I could be wrong.

7. I remember Kerrigan joking and saying many ironic lines and such, well before infestation. I also remember an inside joke that someone told me about on battle.net, so it could also be Duran.

8. I know Kerrigan more than Duran and know a lot of her lines and although I know she joked around at first, I don't remember this particular line. So my pick is Duran.

Although I'm not that confident in my answer, through my process I do believe that it is the right one, as I feel I should know Kerrigan well enough.


Well, time to be cheap...

We are the blades of Aiur.


Back to strategy, I always liked taerran as rushers because of the medic's fast ability to heal, and the long range of their siege weapons. Also, a long dead strategy I try to keep alive, vulture spider mine field. I never liked zergs as much because of their low health and easy death to reavers and HTs. Of course played right zerg are the MOST annoying, they are EVERYWHERE!!!

On that thought, I guess queens can serve to protect runners returning to base. Also, the protoss arbiter, wow, looks to be useless in the new game (*drool mothership*) counters any runners, stasis and wait... Or just go straight for their base.

I LOSEEEEE. NOOO.
TBH, though, it either HAD to be Zealots or DTs. But I can't tell which, and TBH, I don't believe that's its a quote at all. I KNOW all the Zealots quotes, as well as the DT quotes, and those are the only two in the Toss race that even Psionic Blades. I'm pretty sure that neither of them say it. Could you check your sources?

Zealot says, "I long for combat," "My life for Aiur," "Entaro Adun," "Doom to all who threaten the homeworld," "What now calls," "For Adun," "Honor guide me," and another two or three, but I forgot the rest. Pretty sure they don't say, "We are the blades of Aiur."

DT's are a little more simplistic. "Yes?" "Adun torridas!" "Your threats are unadvised, Templar." "Do not provoke me to violence." "You can no more evade my wrath, than you can your own shadow." Like Zealots, there are a few more, but I'm kinda sure that they don't say that quote.

Or maybe I'm way off the mark unit-wise?

BTW, do you pronounce Zealots, zee-lots? Or Zel-lets?

Once again, three sad faces for my being sad.

OWNED!

Shadow IS DA WINNER!!!! SORT OF!!!!

I don't know whether to give you this one or not as there are three factors swinging to for you:

1. Your first guess is correct. It is the zealot. (zel-let)

2. Want to know my 'source'? SC2 VIDEO!!! AHAHAHAHAHA! The zealots say it when they are warped.

3. You never said SC2 vid can't be used but it feels kinda like a hollow victory, and you did get it on first guess, so I guess in all fairness I'll have to give you a slide.

Having said that, whose turn is it?

Ah. No. You won, fair and square. I guess I didn't say that. So don't worry, it's not a hollow victory.
Shadowman is officially SRF's new lord of SC. Post on the first page edited. I'm beginning to get weary of this, as I know that eventually, he would have won anyways, hehe. I mean, guys, he uses SC as his Avy!

Anyone else want to take a shot at him? You could go first.
GG, Shadow!

WOOT! I'm not the gloating type, so I'm not going to.

This has been fun, and props to you, you had me at two points between two taerran heroes.

It's been fun.

And I think in appropriate fashion:


Fena falls, anyone else have the guts? or the knowledge?

Hehe. How does someone who's played SC for this long not know that it's "Terran," and not "Taerran?"

GG to youuu.

I've always typed taerran because of a good friend who misspelled it and then I played with him a lot so now I always misspell it, I also misspell Guntrithor.

Rofl. n00b.

Anyone wanna try Shadow, guys?

I'm almost positive our 4 day marathon scared everyone off.

Lol, two things.

1. Margret Mitchell
No I did not google it, here's how I know.

2. The punch line to the joke:
At least death doesn't get worse every time congress meets.

Yeah ok, or Benjamin Franklin
