New Award

The daily awards are great. I just love looking through them and seeing who is the best (for that day) with what. But one weapon that isn't on there is the shotty and super shotty

You here Snaggle proclaiming his shotty abilities, and many others are great too. Just yesterday I got about 350 knifings as a spy, and about the same number with my super shotty. But no one can call themselves the master shotgun person killer thing (unless they want to go through ALLLLLLL the stats by search) without a daily award for it.

So Robert or whoever works the awards, is it possible to include a shotty and super shotty award?

Out of good fun:

Why don't we call it the Craziest Red neck award?

To make this intresting.. Whoever has the most SuperShotgun kills at the end of each month will have the award named after them for that month. So whoever has the most on May 1st, that's who the award will be named after for that particular month.

For the time being I just named it the SuperShotgun Messiah.

How about an award for GL grenade kills? That could be a Spam award =D

There really should be one for GL launcher if there is gonna be one for the Pipe Bomb. Albino is probably the, or one of the best Demo's on the server and you never see him win the "best demoman" award.!?!?!?!?:rolls:

I've often wondered why the Best Demo award was the pipe bomb. It is easy to lay the trap as it where. Now getting lots of frags with the GL is pretty tough and should be the Real Best Demo Award. The day I got the 310 Det pack kills and had numerous other awards and a ton of GL Frags, I still didn't get the best Demo Award for that day. ??? Don't understand that at all.

Well if you just lay pipes and wait all day for someone to run over them u wont get a lot of kills and probably wont win the award. Pipes are used just as often in one on one battles to toss and detonate one or two. GL grenades are for spamming which is good on avanti. But most of the good demomen usually use their pipes well so IMO the award is correct as is.

You mean you can't hit what you aim for with the GL ?? I use that because it explodes on contact and I've actually gotten good at my aim with them. It is my primary weapon when I play demo. I mostly use the pipes for jumping and traps and when my GL needs to be reloaded in battle. I guess different people play diferently. I lay traps with the Pipes and then attack with nades and GL and try to pull them into my trap. I do AIM with the GL, I don't spam with it. Guess Im not a good Demo player according to your definition......

I've just started play demo man some, and while I don't suck at it I'm not the best, yet. However...as Albino can attest I can throw you where you don't want to be...(he was going for cap three and I threw him up behind the sand bags and then threw a pipe in his face). The pipebomb is the elite demo weapon in that you can hit people in midair with it. It works pretty well in all situations though. The gl_lanucher requires either small rooms, close range fighting, or predictable patterns (SGs). At extreme close range I use the gl_launcher, but otherwise I stick with the pipes.

I suppose under that same definition I am a piss poor demo. Attack with GL (and aim with it) and set traps and jump with pipe bombs.

Well i guess like Torak said each is better in different situations, small room or open space, against heavy class or small, or attacking or defending.

CyC0Dad · Posted: Thu Apr 18, 2002 7:31 pm Post subject:

I actually aim with the GL much like I do the Rocket Launcher or a nade. You have to lead and judge distance to get a hit. The pipe is just press the right key when someone is near it. I GL in open areas and pipe in closer areas, which seems opposite of what Torak said ?

Mike, it would seem to me, from watching a number of demos over the years that most people just use the pipe for traps. When I demo, like I said before, my main weapon is the GL and I don't like to spam with mirror damage on <IMG SRC="/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">. I can do what you are saying with the pipes but it certainly isn't my mainstay when it comes to fragging. I would think that being able to aim and get a couple hundred GL frags in a day should be worth the Best Demo award. Maybe the pipes should be craftiest demo, like the dispenser or something.
