The similarities between Quake and Real-Life(tm-LOL)

Vorosha

Quake water - similar to the real water in the sea/the tap.
Quake sky - like the sky that roofs our lives each day, each morn awaking us with its brightened glory.
Quake teammates - the bond between man and wife, brother and sister.
Quake newbie - a new born child.

Skyclad

Quake Water - seems a lot cleaner then our pollution filled oceans But at least you dont get stung by jellyfish, only rockets...

Quake sky - ever rocket jumped up and smacked your head off the sky in real life?

Quake teammates - Father "Im the man of the house, Im running the quad" Mother "Son, go to your RA and STAY THERE"

Quake Newbies - woohoo, back in college in 4 days WOOOOHHOOOOO, I like beating up on (new born) quake children

Ill go do something constructive now

Vorosha

I think you've severely missed the point.

podgeen

yes i think he has...

Vorosha

Quake levels - the landscape of our minds?

This point may be argued...

Vorosha

Quake 100 health - good diet, regular excercise and a healthy lifestyle.

Shiminay

Quake Pentagram of Protection - similar effetcs to a condom...
Doesn't make the same noise and you only get the throbbing and glowing if you DON'T use 'em in RL.

You don't seem to be understanding me, Kharn I'm afraid you've also missed the point completely. Hmmm, what am I doing wrong?

Slaanesh

Quake Rocketjumping - If you have tried this in real life, you would not be able to type this message

damo

hes troll'n guys, ignore his lame ass

Gerry

Good point there vorosha, one that needed to be made, the similarities suggest that it is a fantasy world, this quake?

Skyclad

Maybe Vorosha's point is that anyone that draws parallels between quake and real life has some serious problems?

confetti

Quake.........

eh its a game
get hold of yourselves

Gerry

Yeah, I think most people know its only a game. For most people, a good point of quake is that it is completely removed from real life. ( Unless you are american )

Clamor

Hear Hear !!!!!!

Clamor

And you havent been censored yet either. ??? What gives!

Gerry

Oh dear god, a can of worms.

Toulouse

Agreed Tom!

Heh. What a load of horse muck. It would be fine if everyone treated Quake3 as a game, but from my experience the quake community is easily the worst communities i've ever been apart of, mainly because a small few and only a small few do not treat quake3 as a game and I know alot of you know what I'm on about here and those who don't have no reason to know.

I'll give a prime example:

When out with a few mates having a few nice pints, few laughs, all good, etc. Then out of no where easily the most stupid, stupid, uncalled for arguement comes out of no where about a f.u.c.king quake3 match that happened more than 6 months earlier. FFS. I wouldn't mind if it was healthy rivalry but unfortunetly his accusations went far beyond that, which saddens me to be honest.

When something like this happens its time to sit back and take a look in the mirror and ask your self am I treating this as a game. If this doesn't work get help.

Well, you would say that

Joking aside, I must agree. It's a game. Treat it as such and leave it at that. You can be very competitive in a game and it can be good to build up a healthy (but fun) rivalry.

Ah jesus you hardly want to talk about all that sh1t here.....As far as I know, that wasn't just about a game, and whether he was right or wrong, (because im nuthin to do with it), you know he will answer what you said, and it's not going to be pretty.

Slaanesh

For **** sake, there was no need to bring that up at all.

Vorosha

Don't be foolish! Is it all not a game? Do you forget that we're all players in the biggest game of them all, the game of life?

Quake levels - the bar.
Quake models - human beings.
Quake armour shards - afew pints.
Quake frags - money.

Zero

indeed.

Jedi

I didn't want to hear that in front of 20 people in England either Ronan, so please don't.

I also don't give a damn what his response will be to my post either. I expect to hear about some conspiracy theory that he has dreamt up about me.

So whats new?

Tom/Jedi

Toulouse

Okay...I've calmed down a bit...Kharn will you stop saying that plz? That's twice now...suffice to say that if I thought he was wrong I would say so...but in this case he's not wrong...and what happened was sad and disturbing.
So lay off it Dav,
Carroll.

20 people saw an argument, but most of them didn't hear what it was about. You're doing the same now except it's in front of a lot more. I'm not gonna get involved in it, but I think it should have stayed between you and him, and not these boards, coz you know he's gonna reply and say exactly what he thinks in front of everyone.
Then again, the boards are boring at the moment, it might prove interesting.
Wow, an argument on the boards that doesn't involve me, that'll be pretty cool.

Once I was playing Dm4 and I kicked the tower by accident and what do you know my opponent falls into the lava.

And you're telling me that Quake has nothing to do with real life?

Vorosha

20 Quake spectators logged onto QTV watching a heated war between two rival clans - 20 human beings watching an argument.

Apologies if it's caused offence.

ehhhh...what?

Jaden

This is what happens when you let women play Quake, and post onto Quake boards.

Stamp out this demented practice by deleting the accounts of Vorosha, Zero and Kharn, and banning them from all Quake servers.

Off to Tribes with yeas!

1) No you wouldn't.
2) How do u know? You ran out of the room the minute it started.
3) "Sad" and "Disturbing" ?? Two lads having an argument is sad and disturbing?
What?
"Like this ONE time, when I was at band camp, and it started raining, and it was truly sad and disturbing....."
"Like this ONE time, when I was in the shop, and I dropped 10p on the ground and it rolled away, that was so sad and disturbing to me....."

Jaden

14.4K connect to Quake server on a 128K ISDN modem. - Vorosha speaking.

Too much noise causing low quantity/quality of information to get through.

Take the blue pill Ronan. Trust me.

carroll is NEVER petty and NEVER takes sides like duh ronan!

Shiminay

Eric or Brian - I think this thread should be closed - it's getting a bit to "lets have a big b1tching session" like.

Lads - I made a (bad) joke. Carroll wasn't impressed. I appologised. That's it. We don't need flame wars on the Quake Board. The Half-Life board's where they happen...

Quake shooting teammate into lava - a joke, sometimes misunderstood.
