Wanna Learn That?

Kjeldorian Royal Guard 42 · Posted: Mon Aug 26, 2002 7:46 pm Post subject: Wanna Learn That?

Greetings Fellow Villuns!

As I approach the 2,000 barrier

I think it is fitting that I give back a little more just to make up for about a year of my spam!

So here is what I came up with. Tell me what you think.

I am looking for Villuns to volunteer at least one hour or more per month. Doing what? Teaching tricks! One night a week (prolly Wed 7:00pm CST), I will host a server on which these teachers will show up for about an hour to help people learn tricks! Each night we will teach a different character's tricks and maybe even two characters at once. It all depends on teacher volunteer turn out.

You don't have to sign up to go learn anything, you just show up during the time the teachers are scheduled. I will post schedules and all other info as soon as it is available. Now, I say teachers but I don't mean they are going to teach you how to play. This is basically an "advanced" session if you will. Noobs, Regs, and veterans alike can all benefit from this.

Some things that will be covered among dozens of things are:

rocket jumping
grenade jumping
concing
shooting while conced
stabbing
dispenser jumping
napalm jumping

and on and on and on

From the teaching volunteers, all I ask are these three things!

Have a very strong grasp of the character's tricks you plan to teach
Have a lot of patience

..And if you run scripts, teach the trick naturally before teaching a script.

If you want to volunteer to teach, just reply to this thread or PM me with the character(s) you are willing to teach.

Teachers will be devoting their personal and playing time just to help out so have patience with them as well.

Here are the volunteers so far: I would like to have at least two teachers per character to ensure someone will always be available. However, ore than two would be great! there is no limit on how many can sign up to teach. The more help, the better.

If I get enough volunteers and people show interest, we will go ahead with this. I will be asking AG if he will lend us his server to make this easier on everyone. I will update you all on whether or not this will happen. It's up to all of you really.

This would be a great way of giving back and using your talent. Who knows, the teacher might even get taught!

Give me feedback! Cya in game!

I will spill forth whatever knowledge that I have on sniping. Movement, stealth, cover, cheating, wallhacks, aimbots and running like hell when someone is about to own you....

Ok, I am a little weak on the cheating, wallhacks and aimbots so I wont help there.

sign me up for solly/demo/scout

Ameanman,

Too many schedules I fear would cause people to lose interest. This is more of a "here come and get it" type thing. Anyone can drop by and see if they can learn something. If we do it on a case by case basis, it would take forever to cycle through everyone.

This is just a way of giving people something fun to do. I would love to teach someone how to double rocket jump out of the elevator on 2fort or pipe jump to cap 3 on Avanti! I would also love to learn some of the conc tricks the scouts/meds will provide. The key here is to have something for everyone on a set date every week. It's not teaching people how to play, it's saying, hey, look what I can do, wanna learn?

I will never be too l337 to check out a new tactic someone has learned. I would like this to help everyone, not just a select few. One person can show two or more people how to do something at once. It doesn't have to be one on one. We will just be hanging out, probably trading tricks or just playing. When someone comes in and asks a question, we'll answer it and even show them how to do it. Just peeps hanging out trading tricks.

You know how many people don't know that an SG will stop shooting a spy if he feigns? Quite a few I imagine. Little things like that is what people can pick up just by hanging out. Plus much much more helpful info/tricks.

It's just something I thought would be fun to do. Plus, this way I can learn all your moves and pwn joo!! MUAHAHAHAHA!

PS. . let it be known that this was my 2,000 post!
