Title: Boomer, Look Out!
Post by: TeaLeaf on October 04, 2006, 08:28:39 AM
Watch yourself over the next 24 hours - the Aszune WoW server is offline for some hardware upgrades and not expected to come back online until 12pm tomorrow (Thursday) so you have a bunch of frustated WOWers looking to 'boom headshot' someone.  

Posts have been made pointing SOGers at Boomer for some Source action tonight, so look out!  May the games begin.

Looking at nearly 36 hours without WoW can bring out the worst in folks, so this can be ugly... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4382766522092008539 :roflmao:
(yes, it's old I know, but it's very suitable for this situation)

Too bad my laptop is down - and I don't even have CS:S laying  around... I just need to get my hans on that one <_<

Anyone want to buy an Enchanted AWP+12 and some Grenade Protection potions?  Don't ask about the Kevlar wizards hat, you can't afford it.

as long as people don't go mad buying AWMs everything will be cool. We have specific server rules about use of the AWM.

The rule can be summed up as follows:

Don't

:biggrin:

I guess this is close to a n00b question, but what's an AWM?

I would guess something like automatic weapong M-somthing, or :huh:

It's an over-powered sniper rifle that tends to one-shot you.  Aka 'noob cannon'.  It, along with the auto-sniper, have the potential to ruin the game.

Some people call it an AWP - the big long LOUD stick thing that costs lots of money. However, if you ask TL he will tell you (correctly) that it is actually an AWM not an AWP.

AWM stands for Arctic Warfare Magnum (IIRC)

Edit: 1h 30 mins and stuck to 75%, I'm starting to hate Steam!
 
Edit 2: Still @ 80% no first time on CS:S for me tonight Y_Y, btw there is any other method to update CS, Steam is taking far too long...

Still some rules need to be applied:
-Switch sides after mapswitch, CT ---> T, T ---> CT.
Also stay close to bombspots and such.

With so many new players on the same night we were bound to have some minor issues with people not knowing how TCS works.  It was a lot better by the end of the evening and hopefully some more reading of the CS forum will be going on. :smile:

I was only there for 2 maps till about 7.30 uk time...and I'm getting a bit peed off that I'm so popular round here that I get invited out all the time.<_<

anyways... I noticed a few peeps stretching the boundaries tonight, but if you expect it & just hold position, they're easy pickings:devil:

looking forward to regular full server nights again:biggrin:

Wooooohooooo for boomer
 
i just played my first game of counter strike in over a year or more ( havent really played since half life 2 was released it seems ages anyways)
and i must say its great fun to shoot your raid leader and all those other nutters :)
thanks for the great time all, and count on it that many bullets will come flying your way from now on, and alas a few less my way but better aimed towards my head
 
PS: anyone got a adamantium reinforced head for sale ?

Yep, I felt singled out for your special attention on several maps last night.  Round start, run to position, poke head round corner:
BOOM headshot!
