05:27 <Concord> Lucifer: I read most of the old Fort topics, and man, you have to start playing again
05:27 <Lucifer> why's that?
05:27 <Concord> most of the game's tactics are yours
05:27 <Concord> :P
05:27 <Lucifer> ooo, somebody finally noticed :)
05:27 <Concord> yeah...you were wrong about ganking though
05:28 <Concord> as it turns out
05:28 <Lucifer> ganking?
05:28 <Lucifer> what *is* ganking, anyway?
05:28 <Concord> its our term for crowding the zone
05:28 <Concord> you said a couple times
05:28 <Lucifer> two can take the zone, but three can't
05:28 <Concord> that 3 attackers in a zone doesn't work, they'll kill each other
05:28 <Concord> yeah
05:28 <Lucifer> it was a different level of play at the time
05:28 <Lucifer> I just never went back to retract that :)
05:28 <Concord> o definitely
05:29 <Lucifer> also, two can defend the zone, at the time I did most of that writing, only one could
05:29 <Lucifer> sumo changed the fortress landscape quite a bit, and for the better
05:29 <Concord> yeah
05:29 <Concord> my favorite part
05:29 <Concord> came around november 15th or so
05:29 <Concord> when people started splitting off the grind
05:29 <Lucifer> I do strongly believe that we needed that time period where I was right in order to establish the skills needed :)
05:30 <Concord> yeah, in a server full of fort newbs, someones gotta teach em
05:30 <Lucifer> at the time I started playing fort, it had been around for several months, and it was pure chaos
05:30 <Concord> yeah
05:30 <Lucifer> I think that my team and I managed to figure out all the fundamentals that are now in use in about 6 hours
05:31 <Lucifer> it's weird, because oscilloscope (now Louven) was the defender for my team, and Your_mom was the defender for the other team :)
05:31 <Concord> theres a funny post
05:31 <Lucifer> I think Manta was in there, too, at that time
05:31 <Concord> where you credit your_mom in passing as the best defender
05:31 <Concord> just a couple weeks ago, Flex did the same thing
05:31 <Concord> for present day ;)
05:31 <Lucifer> he is :)
05:32 <Lucifer> Your_mom and I have been playin together for years, and had already played together for years when fort came out
05:32 <Lucifer> he used to draw sick mazes and then follow his tail, and try to get people to go in with him
05:32 <Concord> well, it looks like we're finally taking a second big step forward regarding tactics, and your missing out!
05:32 <Lucifer> actually, he and Yaza (who no longer plays) and I all did the grind in the basic team play that nobody plays
05:32 <Lucifer> and we dominated then, too
05:32 <Lucifer> ah, I'll pick them up sooner or later, don't worry :)
05:33 <Lucifer> I want a new game mode to work with
05:33 <Concord> I have it for you, btw
05:33 <Concord> are you at all familiar with hold the flag
05:33 <Lucifer> I did the same thing for CTF, if you dig those threads up, but most CTF players don't read our forums
05:33 <Concord> and therefore ctf sucks these days
05:33 <Lucifer> so it wasn't as serious a thing
05:34 <Concord> two teams, two flag-carriers, fort physics
05:34 <Concord> the opposing team just tries to kill the flag carrier
05:34 <Concord> last flag-carrier standing wins
05:34 <Lucifer> fort physics is my home.  :)  Fort physics happen to come from the old Breakfast servers that eggcozy, swampy, and I ran
05:34 <Lucifer> that's another little known fact :)
05:35 <Lucifer> man, now I feel old, heh
05:35 <Concord> when was tail shrink made the standard?
05:35 <Lucifer> as soon as it was implemented
05:35 <ct|kyle> wasen't it 0.2.8.1
05:35 <Lucifer> wasn't 0.2.8 still in beta when tail shrink was implemented?
05:35 <Concord> was that fall 06?
05:36 <Lucifer> I've got another thread for you to dig up, but I won't tell you what it says
05:36 <Lucifer> find the first thread where fortress is proposed :)
05:36 <ct|kyle> not sure I think ed waited a bit to add it to CTWF to let the players update to 0.2.8.1
05:36 <Concord> I think I recently credited [fe] as the first fort team, because they are the earliest documented
05:36 <Concord> was knights of ni earlier?
05:36 <Lucifer> possibly
05:36 <Lucifer> damn
05:37 <Lucifer> knights of ni was a spoon team, for the first tronic competition
05:37 <Lucifer> fe may have already existed at the time, I don't really remember, but fe was a clan
05:37 <Lucifer> Formerly Elite
05:37 <Concord> fe was around january 06
05:37 <Lucifer> my team for the spoon was originally called something like the Fighting Smegheads
05:38 <ct|kyle> CT was end of Feb 06
05:38 <Lucifer> we picked a different name because there were some people who wanted to play on it that wouldn't play under that name
05:38 <Lucifer> but we weren't a clan
05:38 <Concord> kyle: http://74.125.93.132/search?q=cache:9N0A4AczPusJ:games.groups.yahoo.com/group/CrazyTronners/message/34+http://fe-clan.mlbel.de/&cd=3&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=safari
05:38 -!- gregeh [n=gregeh@76.77.82.50] has quit ["Leaving..."]
05:39 <Concord> I have the first organized match at AW vs FE March 8 06
05:39 <Concord> http://wiki.armagetronad.net/index.php?title=6.3.8.0.5
05:39 <Lucifer> ooo, AW may be the first team
05:39 <Concord> no
05:39 <Lucifer> or they formed in response to FE
05:40 <Lucifer> I believe they all predate the spoon, though
05:40 <Lucifer> yeah, because tronic came out of the first organized matches
05:40 <Concord> http://wiki.armagetronad.net/index.php?title=Anarchic_wanderers&diff=prev&oldid=2846
05:40 <Concord> "First, FE-clan are looking for practice, and I know a could of players who would like to give them a game. Stick your name here, times you are available generally, why you want to play them, etc. The section that follows the players is about when and where we play them..."
05:40 <Concord> specifically formed to battle fe
05:40 <Concord> ;)
05:41 <Lucifer> yeah, FE hit a big nerve amongst fort players
05:41 <Concord> yeah
05:41 <Lucifer> if you hadn't guessed :)
05:41 <Concord> they weren't around long...
05:41 <Lucifer> well, they changed their name
05:41 <Concord> sl
05:41 <Lucifer> it quickly got to a point where you couldn't wear an FE badge without getting a bunch of shit dumped on you
05:41 <Concord> tronic predated aw, but aw predated the spoon
05:41 <Concord> all were 2020's creation
05:41 <Concord> aw, tronic, spoon
05:41 <Lucifer> spoon is part of tronic
05:42 <Concord> yep
05:42 <Concord> I mean aw formed before spoon-teams formed
05:42 <Concord> a bunch of teams formed specifically because of the spoon
05:42 <Concord> aw wasn't one of them
05:42 <Lucifer> I used to have a PM on the forums from 2020 crediting me with putting the momentum into the spoon
05:43 <Lucifer> because after I made my smart-ass joining for the spoon, a bunch of people created teams
05:43 <Lucifer> in like 2 days, 4 more teams formed
05:43 <Concord> nice :)
05:43 <Lucifer> silly, actually :)
05:44 <Lucifer> the reason I joined was because I saw people talking trash about it, and minor revert wars, and people calling it "gay"
05:44 <Lucifer> good times
05:44 <Lucifer> :)
05:44 <Concord> looking back, that sounds absurd, but after reading some of the old threads...
05:44 <Concord> my favorite thing:
05:44 <Lucifer> nobody thought anything like that could work
05:45 <Concord> dec, 31 2005: http://forums3.armagetronad.net/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2837
05:45 <Lucifer> people thought 2020 was nuts just for proposing it
05:45 <Concord> and
05:45 <Concord> may 11, 2009 http://forums3.armagetronad.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=19334
05:45 <Concord> some things don't change :P
05:47 <Lucifer> haha
05:47 <Lucifer> you wanna know the truth?
05:47 <Concord> do i?
05:47 <Lucifer> we invented the torpedo to get into Your_mom's zone
05:47 <Lucifer> FULL STOP
05:47 <Concord>  
05:47 <Lucifer> we mostly means I, but obviously I needed someone to go through the hole
05:48 <ivantis>  
05:48 <Lucifer> so we'd grind in as fast as we could, then I threw myself against mom's wall, and whoever was with me went in
05:48 <ct|kyle>  heh, I still remember my first feature request for the game, must have been around this time in 2006, I printed out the responses I got overnight and read then on the bus ride to go conoeing (were my canoe got tipped over). It should be in by now part of zones v2
05:48 <Lucifer> Manta was there :)
05:48 <Lucifer> he was my second partner in it
05:48 <ivantis>  
05:48 <Concord> most of these players still play
05:48 <Concord> in tourneys too
05:48 <Lucifer> a few days later, I was defending, and someone torpedoed me, and Manta said "Now don't you feel bad for inventing that" or something like that :)
05:48  * ivantis has one of those pauses like in a youtube poop
05:48 <Concord> so get your ass on the grid
05:49 <Concord> lol

06:03 <Lucifer> heh, it is interesting to read that old thread, Concord :)
06:03 <Concord> indeed
06:03 <Lucifer> considering how stubborn arma players are, you can imagine the tough time we had getting this stuff to sink in
06:03 <Lucifer> there was considerable opposition to the grind at start
06:03 -!- ivantis [n=ivantis@m660e36d0.tmodns.net] has left #armagetron [requested by Luke-Jr: "stfu"]
06:04 <Lucifer> also, everyone wanted to chase the zone and leave a single goalie by himself, so there was considerable opposition to leaving 2-4 defenders

06:04 <Lucifer> playing with armabot is fine if there's nothing going on in the channel
06:04 <ivantis> lol wut is msg do
06:04 <Concord> today its rare to see less than 3 defending players
06:04 <Concord> and thats 6v6!
06:05 <Concord> in organized matches anyway
06:05 <@Luke-Jr> Lucifer: not for ivantis
06:05 <Lucifer> it took several months to get the grind and the defensive teams going
06:05 <Lucifer> I made a lot of enemies doing it :)
06:05  * ivantis removes channel operator status from Luke-Jr

06:07 -!- ivantis [n=ivantis@m660e36d0.tmodns.net] has joined #armagetron
06:07 <Lucifer> So if you run a 4-man defense, they'll attack with 5-6 people, which a 4-man defense can hold off almost indefinitely, if not defeat completely. Meanwhile, you're sending 3 guys into their backfield against only 2 defenders, usually just one, which they can't hold off  <--- I took a lot of shit on the grid for that :)
06:07 <ivantis> #stepon Luke-Jr's toe
06:07 <ivantis> noob
06:08 <Concord> this is 8-man teams or so?
06:08 <Concord> it does make for a slow game :)
06:08 <Lucifer> I've seen too many players get in the fortress by themselves, slow down and do radiator coils, and lose the zone when the team comes to fortify it. <--- hahahahaha
06:08 <Lucifer> do people still do that?
06:09 <Concord> not in real matches,
06:09 -!- mode/#armagetron [+b %ivantis!*@*] by Luke-Jr
06:09 <Concord> its not too common
06:09 <Concord> the culture is different
06:09 <Concord> less individual now, I think
06:09 <Concord> which makes sense
06:12 <Concord> people are just starting to experiment again
06:12 <Concord> the good teams, anyway
06:13 <ct|kyle> luke-jr: a typo
06:14 -!- ivantis [n=ivantis@m660e36d0.tmodns.net] has left #armagetron []
06:14 <Lucifer> yeah, the hardcore individualists got run out the more organized the game got
06:14 -!- ivantis [n=ivantis@m660e36d0.tmodns.net] has joined #armagetron
06:14 <Concord> theres fewer of them today than ever, I'd say
06:14 <Lucifer> If you're going to punch a hole, make sure you leave a long enough straight wall that people can ride in on it.  <--- this isn't true anymore
06:15 <Concord> we've gotten very good at holing
06:15 <Concord> and using accidental ones, of course :)
06:15 <Lucifer> but, afaik, I'm the first person to ever go between a player's cycle and his receding wall that he was following
06:15 <Concord> to cut the defense?
06:15 <Lucifer> it happened long before fortress, before z-man's return, even
06:15 <@Luke-Jr> Lucifer: in fortress, I aim for the center lane ;)
06:15 <Lucifer> it was ultimately used to cut the defense :)
06:15 <@Luke-Jr> and go right past all the enemy defenses
06:16 <Lucifer> I think Yaza had boxed me in, and I was following the inside of my wall, then switched to follow the outside
06:16 <Lucifer> he didn't see the switch
06:16 <Lucifer> so I started accelerating like mad, passed his cycle, then cut him off
06:16 <Lucifer> Locutus was watching, and was speechless :)
06:16 <Lucifer> it had never been seen before, and afaik, wasn't seen again until fortress was invented
06:16 <Concord> :)
06:16 <Concord> I'm looking for that thread
06:17 <Lucifer> the cutoff happened at 70 units of velocity
06:17 <@Luke-Jr> pfft 70
06:17 <Lucifer> so it was pretty high speed :)
06:17 <Concord> I know 0.2.8_beta2 (september 05) had fort
06:17 <Concord> but that 0.2.8_beta1 (august) did not
06:17 <Lucifer> I'll give a hint, it came in during the late beta stage

20:47 <PinkTomato> everytime.cfg is a nice solution
