what was the funniest mistake when you played Defcon?

Actually something else i constantly do is rush my targetting and although i target 10 specific targets or 5 targets twice with each silo i sometimes misclick and silo target just to the side of a city and think 'meh, it's just 1 nuke' and waste nukes over and over again :roll:

shame on me!

I think everyone does that. I know I do. If it's really critical or I did it twice, I might retarget. :roll:

Lol, i just did it now in a 1v1...with subs and silo, i retargetted the silos and only launched 8 out of 9 surfaced subs because id forgotten to target one, damn >.<

in a match with all pros, the shinybonsai is useless, however, against noobs it earns you huge points still sadly

Will anyone finaly tell me, what this 'shinybonsai' stuff is??

where you and an 'enemy' ceasefire against each other and nuke each other, in a match with 200 pop, u get 400 points from it if u 0 their pop, but lose 200 points, a 200 point profit

Emmm... sounds nice, but how theese 2 players who agreed to share their pooulation are going to solve who is the 1st and who is the 2nd??? I would have never agreed to make any deals with enemy

Thanks for the info

a blunt description, but one that describes the response, but it is manipulation and not legitimate or illegetimate

i would say it worked against "pro" players pretty well

was an unique opportunity though

doesn't any more zkl, 6 player is too blitzkrieg for manoevers like that to work

Didn't matter at the time since the top 3 players went through, luckily after their little sneaky trick i still managed third in that game, lol.

i think if we outlaw the shinybonsai that we should reincarnate the unofficial tournament, i would love a chance to pit my skills against the best, as i am not high enough rank to play all star games regularly
