Most Threatening Players
« on: September 06, 2011, 11:58:26 PM »
When I say most threatening, I am including many factors in addition to skill, perception being foremost of them. These factors include things like:

Respect (do you know he [there are no girls in MWLL, people who say otherwise are lying] is a good shot and a consistent even tempered player)
Hate (is this asshole always at the wrong place at the wrong time in the wrong asset in a way that gets you pwned?)
Activity (does this person play often enough that you even know they exist)
Asset Choice (do they vary what they pilot and generally pick respectable mechs and such or are they a jerk that always goes Vulture B on Solaris Arena; either way you have to keep your eye on them)
Rank (are they at/near the top of the scoreboard a lot, and often with a jealousy-inducing Kill-Death ratio?)

if you can think of any other factors to include feel free to say so.

My nominees in no specific order and from what I can think of at this moment:

AAA
Twinkletoes
Andreas
NotSoCoolJ  :P
AIMB

apologies to my friends who I didnt mention here. remember this is as much about perception as it is skill.

edit- added AIMB

I am never actually raging. Even if something has an angry smiley on it, its meant to be taken jokingly as me just pretending to do a toddler's temper tantrum.

replace "threatening" with "friendly but good" and that list might look different.  AAA at the top though, so something about the list must be correct.

Myself. No seriously. Everytime ive died its because ive done something stupid, and the enemy has done something right.

As long as im not being a herpa derp, anything else is fair play, good game to the enemy.

New idea- would I be able to use an external hard drive to add RAM and/or improve gigahertz?

He does not mean "threatening" in a personal sense. He means threatening within the immersion of the game, i.e. by the action of the player within the game.


Lately I can't really put my finger on who is the most threatening to me. Often depends on the map and the asset I use. e.g. when I use assets that are severely vulnerable to BAs, an insanely good BA player is the most threatening one to me. I know that there are a few of those players out there, I simply forgot their names :D. Otherwise I'd say Ivaan is one of the most threatengin players to me, in any situation ;).

If you mean threatening in a personal way - someone being an asshole, or worse - I couldn't name one. Most of the guys, that missbehave (teamkill, offence...) get bashed up pretty fast from both sides (enemy and "friendly" fire). But that's only a very small percentage of the players. Usuall they turn out to be newbees, that need help.

If you mean threatening in the meaning of "who's the most dangerous Mechwarrior" - there has bean a post/poll a week ago...  ;)

@MekBeth- I am trying to include both in a way. essentially when you press tab and see the names of players in the game, what names stick out at you? it could be someone really skilled or a total troll. both are reasons that the name will grab your attention. so the list of names could contain people from both categories. Sort of lumping together famous and infamous.
I am never actually raging. Even if something has an angry smiley on it, its meant to be taken jokingly as me just pretending to do a toddler's temper tantrum.

I see. But trolls are hardly "threatening"?

I didn't actually read most of this thread but I think we can all agree the mod needs more players.

It will have them.
AFAIK the number of players varies pretty much. Similar to a wave. Whenever the devs bring out another release the activity on the servers is very high.

Not to forget: this mod is still a beta (BTW: why?)

I expect a maximum increase, when 1.0 is published.

I wasn't around in the beginning, but I do know it's come a long way since it's initial debut.  Still some work to do, though, before it becomes an 'official' release.
