Byron will be back in I'm still not sure if I'm "back" back. I have really enjoyed playing the last few days though, so maybe. It's great to see so many old and new faces around. Yeah Endless got Rekt Fresh TM by Byron today. I pulled off a personal win but was unable to pull off a team w...

I know some haters out there won't give a damn but I thought I'd let the rest of you guys know so you have time to grab the recordings you want. As much as real players sneer at diplomacy, it is an approachable mode that both eases new people into the game mechanics and provides a fun format for pe...

Not to mention, ranking tables with thousands of matches with defcon greats in there. Let's hope the data can be retrieved... Agreed. As bad as it is to lose those servers to play on, losing access to those recs is worse. Huge slice of history potentially down the drain. I'm hopeful that this is ju...

I feel like Baton let hate cloud his judgement with that one.

Also, cow's "my sync was so bad he thought I only launched three per silo" line was hilarious!

Cows..to fold is properly to play poker. That's mean that you refuse too to play unfair setups? You lost the fun of playing defcon considering fun what is simply easy. I wonder how much satisfaction and knowledge you can get from that. Not that I can speak for Cows or Laika, but I don't think anyon...

I'll 1v1 anyone who wants to make something like that.

No reason it couldn't be 2v2 or 3v3. Other than that it would be a hell of a lot of talking.

Enjoyable killing of time. That was Eu vs Ru+Af setup. Yes, I know how to hide 7 units and where to place silos to keem them most safe. I didn't want to. I know you know it but I was not talking about it. Lady, for example, rarely did that in that setup. Her ability is not to find a "new"...

Doesn't look any different from a typical noob slap fight.

Good advice here, but radars need to be mentioned. Forget everything else, the classic sign of a noob is someone throwing all their radars down immediately at the start of the game. Typically right on the borders to get as much coverage as possible. There's a logic to that, but don't do it. In close...

That was an exciting game. Lots of twists and turns and the final score difference was 9 points. But yes, very long. I spent most of the game dodging Cumiro's rain of seanukes. I'm still kicking myself for letting my pac fleet get wiped like that, but taking those subs right at the end is some conso...

Well the ban must have been somewhat recent. Late February or early March. Just scanning through all his games before that, it's all diplo and 2v2 noob bashes. That's over the course of several years. Long before quake. (Incidentally, here's me, you, rofl and Edward in a 2v2 when I was still quite a...

Based on what is ROFL on 6th spot? I have never seen him play against anyone in top 20 though I remember when he rage quitted on me once. Based on that from what I've seen, he has pretty much mastered every aspect of the game. He is incredibly smart with how he plays as well. As i have said before ...

Can all server owners please revoke all additional admin rights on servers they own please. This is getting to be beyond a joke now - if these idiots want to admin a DEFCON server let it be there own so I can avoid it. SFCON, QUAKE and to a lesser extent Group 6 - its killing the game in my opinion...

Just watched the first match. Pretty brutal from yellow. Thanks for putting the link up again sen. I always remember Mike as unbeatable but it appears he is just v v v good ;) Yeah, it was merciless. There isn't anyone around nowadays who plays with that classic Ace "all in" style. It gue...

Yeah I should have stayed closed. Still it was funny and we got away with it, so whatever. Made it an unnecessarily close game though. If NC had hustled down and turned the tide in the Indian, or if there had been serious anti-sub defense in the Atlantic, there's a pretty good chance it would have b...
