War Monkey know how to kill me, and maybe some others too.

Make a really intersting maze, and its like a black hole for me

mmmmmm tricky tunnels

As far as killing n54 goes, FORGET IT , ITS IMPOSSIBLE.

hehe
ACtually, I think, n54 likes to have a high average speed which is a good tactic if anyone wants to follow it;)

reminds me, i should add aversage speed in game stats to my goshdarn source.

Slurp!
I'm unwilling to provide such favors just to advance my score on the grid. ;)
No favors involved here, only a little play on one's instinctual vulnerabilities. You had to be there, it was an inside joke to node.
Lol, Maj, I hope you were not thinking, what I think you were thinking of what I was thinking. Too much thinking, my brain hurts now.

lol you guys are crazy :mrgreen:

slurp indeed lol - but i'd truly rather admit to thinking about sex on the grid instead of fessing up to lag :wink:

HEALTH WARNING FOR FUTURE SPOUSE! this man is a raging sexaholic deprived of regular sex! it's a BAD situation!

*scares everybody in the whole wide world* lol :D

edit: btw i don't think i've played anyone who hasn't killed me once in a while, and i've played many who kill me often :mrgreen:

edit 2: and i'm seriously not a scary person.... afaik... hmm.... :P

Sometimes I trick players (mostly players who I do not play against so much), by just playing like a new player, going in straight lines, bad grinding or no grinding, so they'll often think I am easy and charge me. Then I flip off into crazy wiggling or a speedy nice grind.

Thats sortof hood-winking I guess. :]

lol yeah thats a good idea, but aren't most the ppl you do that against rookies in their own right
i mean if you haven't played them before its more than likely that they are not a regular tron player and not as good as you, so you are being tricky to win, but u could still win by not being tricky
or am i wrong about this :?:

I know that when i come in as a player with a diffrent name (i dont do it anymore)

it was always about 4x as easy to get the 10 game wins, you may not know them, but they know you and are wary of you and just run, so half the time once you get good and are recognised to be so, you spend half the time just chasing ppl lol.

anybody else find this ?

lol im always chasing, i almost never turn away unless i have to, to stay alive or because they did a great outer wall grind and i don't want to risk it
it just is no fun to run
how do you get better doing that, im only got good because i always came at guys like you and n54 and learned how to beat you, though that doesn't happen alot :wink:
