    Nem, don't listen to them. Koopa is the most over rated player in Ireland. He did well in some QuakeWorld compition a few years back and reckons he's the **** but to be honest any half decent quake 3 player can beat him around.

    I myself have beaten him in almost every game we have ever played. To the best of my knowledge he has only ever beaten me once by using cheap ass tactics and running like a little girl.

    I agree with Mindphuck, you should come up to Dublin if you can and we will make a day of it. That way you can show him up in front of more people and make sure you get your prize money (2 grand sounds about right for a grudge match of this size).

    I would also like to say its about time a player with a bit of skill decided to shut that annoying arab up. Hes been talking himself up for so long now he must be starting to believe his own crap.

    maybe he can't bring his pc to dublin, but he can bring his mouse and his cfg. I'll donate my pc for his use if needed. ( p3 933, geforce2 gts ).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,972 ✭✭✭SheroN


    ah koopa making another one of these crazy bets....ya didn't win the last few sam..what makes ya htink this time will be different?....over confidence will be your downfall.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,207 ✭✭✭MindPhuck


    You dont need to bring your PC. It will be in a net cafe, with FAIR pc's and on a LAN with FAIR pings.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 521 ✭✭✭Ronin


    Koopa is a complete noob...he always makes these stupid bets and it costs him money. Lucky his partents are loaded an just keep giving him cash to waste.

    Although i've never seen it go this high..but its not his money so u might as well take it off him..

    Koopa had to leave trinity after he kept losing money to all the CT boys ...

    if only he could keep his mouth shut..he might actually be able to afford a decent machine to play on .

    I hope u own him nemisis so then koppa will be put in his box forever.

    and anyone remember when koopa had to pay 1 grand to T4-DEMON after losing? its why he wasnt able to upgrade his pc last year...

    Koopa I object to having you in the same clan as me. You arent fit to clean my rail...

    DeV.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,341 ✭✭✭Koopa


    yes but i was just very unlucky in all my other bets


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,972 ✭✭✭SheroN


    ever heard the saying "a fool and his money are soon parted"?......I think it applies to you in this case Koopa.(fooleen)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,341 ✭✭✭Koopa


    well i dont care im going to win this bet anyway, nemesis is just a big boaster

    remember the way he claimed to be able to beat nightmare anarki 10-0? no demo? lol???
    like im that stupid, noone could beat nightmare anarki 10 - 0, i knew he was bull****ting since day 1 and im going to prove it, winning 2 grand in the process .. hes a robot for ****s sake, how can you beat a robot that never misses? this'll be the easiest 2 grand ive ever won


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,207 ✭✭✭MindPhuck


    hahahaha

    This sounds a little bit laughable to me, either your taking the piss trying to make me sound stupid by trying to get me to go on and tell you i can everytime knowing its piss easy to do or else your serious (god i hope not) because honestly if you are i wont just beat you, you'll be going home crying!!

    Either way it makes no difference to me, you dont seem to grasp the fact ive seen you play plenty of times and unless you've played way below your usual standard in every demo ive seen you honestly do not have a chance of touching me. (Sorry to sound so cocky but you just force me to such lengths :p)

    Quick edit here i forgot u asked for my PC specs
    Athlon xp 1700+
    256 ddr
    Geforce3

    This will prolly be my last post til after my hols, so i'll cya all when i get back, :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,341 ✭✭✭Koopa


    have fun!

    and by the way i bet you forgot to put the skill to nightmare BEFORE you add the bots, thats probably why you think the bots are so easy!
    i was doing this for ages until bunny told me


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,576 ✭✭✭Kairo


    We should make a full fledged Quake lan outa this and get the whole community going. Who's up for this? :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,341 ✭✭✭Koopa


    this thread is gettign too long, maybe start a different thread for "people who want to come to this lan" or something on this board?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,399 ✭✭✭Zero


    I closed this but

    [09:49:51] [Koopa]: i meant "can everyone post all lan-related threads onto a separate thread, and keep this thread for mud-slinging between koopa and nemesis please"

    heh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,745 ✭✭✭swiss


    I can't believe I left this thread unread for so long. I heard *Nemesis* and Koopa were having a bit of a bravado bragging match about their respective l33t talents, but I didn't know it had grown to this.

    OK, well firstly I've never seen Koopa play, so I don't know how good/bad he is. I have seen *Nemesis* play, and he is a good player, a very good player. Better than me, of course, but I'm just a Quake n00b who prefers CS (oh god I'm gonna get killed for saying that in a Quake board :D).

    Next time I get the opportunity I will download a demo w/ Koopa in it and see exactly what *Nemesis* will be up against.

    As for the amounts of money/systems that are being wagered, although I do enjoy the hype, I really don't think a few games of 1v1 quake merit *that* large a wager. Koopa I really think you're being serious when you're betting €2000 against someone you have never seen in action. If you're that confident of your abilities then fair play to you, it's only money (and pride :) ) but I will be supporting *Nemesis*. In fact I'll probably put something like €10 - €20 (small potatoes :) ) on the match in question and I'll try to make it to the LAN if a day is arranged (and if there's enough space for me). I don't know if there's someone on the other side who's willing to see that wager ;).

    I don't think I've seen people building themselves up so much on boards, even in the CS boards, but what do I know :rolleyes: If a day is arranged it should be a good match, and I don't just refer to the Koopa Vs *Nemesis*


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 728 ✭✭✭Nexus


    U havent seen Koopa play have u?. Nemesis, cant be that good, if he was we would of heard of him. he has pld noobs and beaten noobs thats y he thinks he's so great. He better wake up fairly ****in lively.

    SAM, NORM LOVES U BABIE!!!!!!! ;)
    WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 973 ✭✭✭ThrAx


    I think it is quite obvious that sam will win. Sam I aint gonna wish u luck coz u dont fuckin need it, ur gonna win.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,275 ✭✭✭bugs


    Sam, you can't win. God knows you touch yourself and that is why!

    God told me....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,275 ✭✭✭bugs


    Seriously tho,
    Koopa got his ass royaly kicked in DCU on many of the occasion. I seem to remember some pretty fupping gay players beating him in rocket arena (not much of a feat, his rl aim is fupping useless)

    Emperor (sings in a choir and i think his mum dresses him) beat sam, which he's probably not going to admit, but i was there. I witnessed the whuppage.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,341 ✭✭✭Koopa


    i only lost 20 quid on the bet vs emperor though, im hardly bothered about that

    I'll see your 20euros and raise you 10 euros.
    Lets say 30euros, when koopa wins you pay me, if nemesis wins ill pay you.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,972 ✭✭✭SheroN


    swiss i bet you €50 ,koopa will win by 15 clear frags or more?

    I thought this might happen. Fine, I'll bet against both of you, and I'll even make it €50 (although that's split between ye if ye lose). If I win I get €25 off both of ye. That's about as high as I'm willing to go.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,176 ✭✭✭podgeen


    so lets get this straight,

    if nemesis wins i pay u 25euros
    if koopa wins you pay me 25euros


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,745 ✭✭✭swiss


    If that's OK with you, yeah

    I'm not interested in winning/losing margins so if the game should be won by 1 frag or 100 it won't make a difference.


    If Koopa wins
    • I pay podgeen €25
    • I pay SheroN €25
    • Total payout = €50

    If *Nemesis* wins
    • podgeen pays me €25
    • SheroN pays me €25
    • Total winnings = €50

    Is that fair enough for ye? I don't mind if ye don't wanna bet, and I'm not gonna call ye chickens or anything. That's the max I'm willing to bet, and I *never* usually bet anything like that (because I'm not much of a betting person). If SheroN doesn't want to take on the bet, it will be just between yourself and myself podgeen. Is that OK?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,176 ✭✭✭podgeen


    yeah sound here, will it be 50euro then or still 25?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,399 ✭✭✭Zero


    hey swiss, i'll go €25 with u aswell for Koopa if you're on for it. In fact, I'll go €100 with you that not only will Koopa demolish Nemesis, but I also will afterwards.

    If you like...


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    I'll take the bet too, if Koopa wins you owe me 25 euro :)

    Ok, joking aside, Koopa will totally flatten *nemesis*, I'm not putting Nem down, Koopa flattens me completely too.
    You might be an excellent player in Waterford and murder everyone around you but Koopa is frankly worldclass....

    Lets stop the madness before it all becomes bitter and someone loses an eye... :)

    DeV.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,972 ✭✭✭SheroN


    nah seriously dev, i've seen the demos, he can't dodge....
    I'll take that bet swiss.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 300 ✭✭Guinnessman


    swiss ill put 25 on koopa


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,745 ✭✭✭swiss


    Christ how many bets am I gonna have here :)

    Listen guys I'm not gonna go to an outrageous sum of money over this, I'm just enjoying the buildup and I seriously think that *Nemesis* has a good chance of winning this.
    Lets stop the madness before it all becomes bitter and someone loses an eye...
    Exactly. I don't mind €50, but I think €2000 is rather steep for a few games of 1v1 quake. As for furthur bets, I'll consider it, certainly. DeV if you want the €25 bet I'll take it, I'd like the idea of getting the money from an admin :)

    Guinnessman you're stretching my wallet a bit at this stage. This isn't a betting forum, and I don't want to see one on boards. I'm cutting off all other bets (feck off ye vultures :p) and I'll leave it with podgeen and SheroN (and DeV for the heck of it - assuming he doesn't mind).
    Koopa is frankly worldclass....
    That's what we're going to find out, aren't we. I think that's what this entire thread is about.

    Whatcha mean WE? WE already know. YE are about to find out tho.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 973 ✭✭✭ThrAx


    Koopa is world class this fucker nemesis is, well, waterford-class (lol) koopa has beaten Sujoy along with many other players.

    Who gives a fuck whether he dodges or not because he doesn't need to dodge, nemesis will die before he ever gets a chance to shoot him. Thats one of the reasons koopas demos are misleading. Koopa is so gonna win.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,341 ✭✭✭Koopa


    nah actually ive never beaten sujoy, probably in some small way due to the fact that ive never actually played him, except this one time at band camp when i was on 200 ping (in 1998) and lost to him by 3 kills on dm4 (he was 40 ping), and it was quake1 not quake3


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 625 ✭✭✭Vincent


    sujoy couldnt hit a cows arse with a banjo


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    I'll take that bet. Whoohoo free money.

    Koopa if you lose (on purpose, its the only way you'd lose) I'll kill you.

    DeV.

    On a bit of a tangent here...

    Whateve happened to Sujoy? I remember he was all spin and magazine articles but never really did spectacularly well in anything. He also dubbed himself "thunder fingers" for some godforesaken reason.

    Is he now the Anna Kournikova of Quake?

    Sorry for dragging up 6 year old thread but came across it by accident and read through all 8 pages as it was making some interesting reading except of course for the final page. Its like reading a book except the last page is missing so can anyone fill me in or remember what happened that faithful night in Waterford? I was around boards at the time of this thread and remember reading it before and feeling the same dissapointment i do now!

    Koopa hammered *NemesiS* on both maps (was a best of 3). Scores were of the 30-0 variety. This was expected from everybody who had a clue.

    *NemesiS* was played from the very beginning he posted.

    Man, that was over 5 years ago! Good times.. :)
