Hi,
I play as a team player..............
BUT there was this one time (at band camp lmao) that i was last (wo)man standing and I beat a vortex amongst loads of other monsters on wave 20............ and i won the map for us I was really 'chuffed with me'sent'
Anyway, in the 6 months of playing I have played with a wand exactley 2 times, once summoned and once out of a chest as I happenend to have been the person who found the chest.
In all fairness i find myself lucky to see 1 summon per map nevermind 3 per wave!!
My best weapon is the Flak with 2 inf, 2 heal, ss, superforce, razor, protection 5, poison 5, damage 5 + 4 singles, retaliation 5, 2/3 lucky and as many reflective as i can fit on!

Well-said Drae!
You can request a PU from me anytime, as I know you'll hand one I need over to me if you have it to spare.
As far as "bragging" about what you summoned being for sheer happiness for the luck you got - YOU SHOULD! We all do! And you ESPECIALLY should if you have a wand, so we know that it's a friendly wand and DON'T PANIC (thanks again Amy!)
And as far as "bragging" about having the high score - YOU SHOULD! We all do! Just take one look at the "Score Screens" forum! It's something to be proud of, ESPECIALLY if you're not the highest-level player on the map, REGARDLESS of what means you used to get there - be it a wand, a lightning rod, an E-TripDmg. As you said - the bottom line is that you, as the high scorer, did the most to help win the map, which is something we ALL want to happen!
I think very few people would take offense at such "bragging", especially because we would be doing the same, and most understand (I would hope) that it's just good-natured ribbing.
Simply put, as far as I am concerned, CARRY ON! And I mean that LITERALLY too, as I have lost count of the number of waves/maps you've helped carry me (and others) through once we'd died.

I will consistently sacrifice political correctness for an attempt at humor. If ya can't deal, then ya need ta stop being ign'ant.

I agree with you drae. I actaully even to with the kurt things since all I heard is how you and I are hacking. He likes to win number 1 and doesn't do it that often. But he stays and playes so I do give him props. The two people I was talking about wasn't you. Everyone knows who he and she are so no need to say names. I don't post any of my high scores on the map. I have thought about posted some other peoples score. I only like to try and stay close with you but only if I have the same gun or a flak. If I have a summoned weapon you can't compair scores really like you said. POINTLESS. For instance when we played lego land you were winning and I had a lady. I didn't just go and kill everything. I actaully took the time to get beast a wand and set him up and also I summoned before the first lady a Combat of rage. I tossed it to crack but he kept getting errors. So Amy actaully ended up with it. It took 4 waves to gain over 1300 points on you and. I only made on statement to you about that map is when the wand killed me in the first 5 seconds and then smaked you twice in a row. I still blame you for dieing on me since most were in the tunnel. The wand did kick the SH!t out of both of us. I only could laugh.
I only play to level up. I have to set goals or the game gets boring, maybe joeys patch will make it a huge challenge. that would be cool and I would be one to vote for the fact of having the Vortex spawn more like it did in the start. From wave 16-20 bring it on. But if you lose your weapon then it needs to stay on wave 20. Thanks joey for reconizing that because it sucks to lose a weapon 3000 or more monster in the waves left and you can't kill any one them for the lose of a weapon. But if denile or retention work the way hes said. Spawn more Vortex. If people haven't noticed I try to put gael on the map. We have been getting A$$ racked on that map and I want to win it. that should be a default map. Score is high and its HARD!. Only the ones with the dealth in the middle. No safe center to fall into. If you fall sorry your dead.

i have seen you play and you do very well i have to say, and i have taken notice to how much you love the razor bomb. it is an excellent weapon. the primary fire's projectiles are strong and with each carrying the damage effects and vorpal, it can kill very well and get enemies even not intended as target. and they vamp nicely to keep hp levels higher. the secondary fire is wonderful for masses of enemies to hit and kill by the loads, and also makes a good hide-and-shoot weapon since the bombs have a good bit of bounce time to hit things all around a room in those dire situations. i won't use it any more since i tend to try to maximize damage, and lately if i find a blast cannon pu, i will make a flak of power and put on rentention and the blast pu while still using mp5. the reason for this is that if i don't summon anything else, blast cannon in waves 18 and 20 help so much more. blast cannon is very very powerful, and also it is cool to shoot and run with super speed and watch the missiles linger by your side X} as i have seen, the missles from mini rl are just as strong as blast cannon's, but only come out linearly rather than like 3 at once, but the fire is more rapid and go a bit more faster. i like mini rl on most maps because it can take out enemies in groups better and has a bit of splash damage effect. if i have super speed, though, then combat shotgun is better with its alt-fire. the lingering splash effect really can lay the waste on all enemy types, but its distance is limited and without much speed, it can't do a lot. primary fire for the shotgun is miraculous against queens on wave 16 and warlords on wave 19 since its range of shot is very wide from a distance and will almost always hit anything of fair size from further away.
i will state this again for all of you.. rage pu...use it! its like adding more damage on and is fine to use on every single weapon type except wand or lady. maximum is 5. stick 5 on a laser rifle with +10 damage as well and you will kill queens with almost one hit every single shot, sometimes the effigies too will die from just one hit with that setup. it becomes a somewhat slower green wand :} use even one rage on a lady or wand, and anytime you hit something, your health drops to 70, regardless.
to sirbeast:
of course i will help you or anyone else that asks for something, i know it can be hard to find things at times. usually i dump all excess pus to a group of people in an area every other wave, and during a map i never pick up pus i don't need unless i see noone else is around. if i have multiples, like say..3 heals or 3 vorpals 3 infs etc, i toss 2 of them to the group and keep one in case someone says later on they need it. i try my best to keep the game alive in times that most others have died, but i admit it is very difficult sometimes when all i may have is the mp5. i can win a later wave with it, but say on wave 18 i am trying to kill all those baddies. well, the effigies and turbo laser dragons aren't vampable, and the beams and such hiting me do start to hurt a lot, which is why i really try to find a valgary or something that is vamapable to get life back and redircet fire to the bigger threats. i only have a hp of 30 and no regen skill at all. i feel so bad when i don't have the proper fire power against everything and i am last :/ but sometimes i succeed! when there is a wand around and i still have mp5, i will actually try to go for it as carefully as i can and ignore everything else. i am usually certain i will die, but if i can inflict enough damage or attract its attention that someone else can kill it and save others, its all fine :} i am certain that joey has coded that wands, vortexes and other tough enemies will spawn near and put their focus on the higher level player/high scorer...rather devious
. oh, and another thing i notice..at least in my experience: vortexes make their spawn known because the game halts for a very brief second before it shoots its vortex. i pay heed to this very carefully on wave 20, and if i detect that halt of activity, i will mutijump high as i can and try to get away somewhere..anywhere <,,<
to ortega:
, yes, i won't forget that particular battle. i had no idea how the heck i was keeping ahead of you all that time after you mentioned you had a lady were going to get me n..n it is does take much time to get weps to others. if i summon more than one good thing, i will usually gold it and give to another, and i do look around to find someone with a not-so-great weapon who i know has denial 2. i communicate a bit if someone wants a "this" or "that" but i actually sometimes just quitely seek people out and toss them a nice pu or wep i won't be using. and that wave 18..damn..i was wondering as i ran along side both sides trying to kill the hordes with my little mp5 of the map why i felt so alone! everyone else hid but me and you. and yes, that wand got me twice x..x thats when i saw where everyone else went and then seeing snug up in a little corner, but out there among it all mostly exposed :}
i would agree that allowing vortexes to have a chance to appear in waves 16 on would be allowable and make for more fun and difficulty. vortexes shoot once every 3 mins, and they don't usually take out too many players to make for game over. i am all for them having a place in other waves that just 20. but sometimes i ponder the wisdom of allowing more than 3 wands to appear in a wave, though..the other day on wave 12.. five effigy wands appeared through the course of the wave. that was just...bleh
nothing beats this brand of invasion this server provides. difficult, full of so many different things on monster and ally sides, and situations of heart-racing activity when a situation starts to look bad. and just how involved the interactions and assistance needed from everyone to give the best feel of it being group-oriented than just everyone out for themselves. i simply must wonder how the heck this server can't have a #1 rank in the ut2004 server listings.

it did gain 5 spots last night. its rank is 13th now on game-monitor. But Its number #1. It just lacks a update from the man because he keeps added little things.LOL. You got every talking about the patch joey. We are starting to think were dreaming. mmmmmh. I could cry!!. I want the wrenches to atleast be fixed, I feel bad but its to temped. Its like a kid with some candy open on the table.
yeah I was sort of playing it safe in the corner but getting way to much attention but I did meet the wand early in the wave. LOL

Yeah my luck has totally turned to pure crap with summons. Out of 35 summons, I summoned a lady on wave 19 and 17,, which was nice but not that useful... Evertyhing else was grenades, frag grenades, mines, avrils, lightning guns, and 2 howies. Sad, but the funny thing is I've got the lightning rod in 6 out of my last 8 games to make up for it...
