I was on the House of Hermskii (Redeemers Only), and nobody was logging on, so I decided to set the records for the server. I put up some pretty good numbers, but I know that some of you can do better. Since I was not facing any human opponents, my numbers are pretty high, but I have seen higher. If you do not know how to view the records, press F2 during the game. At the bottom of the page is the record frags per hour. Top three scores. Who can knock old Jarggy off the top (Herm resetting the server not included)?? If there were a few human newbies on, I know that the numbers would have been higher. Go for it!!! I want to see who can get the record. Any bets??? <p>The Jargonaut<br></p><i></i>

Kicked me right off the list eh? <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>I'm amazed at those numbers Jargonaut!<br><br>Whenever the game ends your score always seems to be 1800 tops, and then it's reduced from there for time taken. Does anyone understand how the scoring mechanism works? I'd like to know, please. <br>Anyway, congrats on beating the 1800 fph barrier! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>I would guess that you were winning matches in less than 30 seconds, right? Which map? Pyramid, or Fractal? <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

Here are the current scores in some of the various arenas I know the members of SRA visit:<br><br>Missile Madness:......2216 1972 1971<br><br>BrutalityInfinityCity..2052 1924 1805<br><br>SRA:.....................2586 2530 2381<br><br>House of Hermski:....2108 2071 2002<br><br>CG3:.....................1443 581 525 <br><br>CG2:.....................1703 1587 1552<br><br>CG1:.....................3104 2938 2678<br><br>Those incredible scores at CG1 belong to <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Mahatma, Torpid,</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> and <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Mahatma</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> respectively. I've never ever seen such high scores before! <br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Mah</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->, I've always suspected that you mostly just fart around at CG1, and still win anyways. Now that I see what we're up against when it behooves you to play seriously; I think it's time I switched back to playing strategy games on my PC. Now, <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>where is</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> that copy of Railroad Tycoon anyway? <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :| --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/indifferent.gif ALT=":|"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

I'm flattered, but I'll tell you the secret.<br><br>For setting the high FPH record, always choose Fractal. Keep trying with bots. If you die or start to mess up early in the game, reconnect and start over. You want to get a perfect game in which you don't die and your first missile starts you out on the monsterkill road.<br><br>On Schwantz's a long time ago, when the bots weren't godlike, I got 4000 fph on Fractal.<br><br>Here's some more Fractal strategy: when you're playing against a lot of humans, and several of them are pod-crouching, the best place to go is behind the pillar. Down below is less vulnerable. Instead of hooking all the way out to the center and up, just hook around the corner and into the ground. Your blast will hit all the ground spawnpoints, and it will fizzle out the pod-campers' missiles. It is funny as all hell to see missiles coming out of the pods only to evaporate before they can detonate!<br><br>I cannot top Torpid's score on SRA. The bots are just too good there.<br><br>Stay online Hook -- it's all about the fellowship and love! Can't get that playing Myst.<br><br>Yours truly,<br>Mahatma <p></p><i></i>

Sorry about that, nameless. I saw that you had the records, and like I said, I was bored. It took a while to beat them. <br>Mah, For the life of me, even with you telling me how you win at Fractal, I still am awed when you win without crouching. I do notice you behind the pillars, but for me, I just get looped, even when protected by the pillars. I tried that strategy to get those numbers, and failed every time. I used Pyramid to get the numbers, using the pillar arc technique, and the Scify "Stand and Deliver" method, which is VERY effective on that particular map, esp. on the second tier against bots. Just make sure you sidestep a little, or you will be spawn killed. <br><br>Good Luck to all. <p>The Jargonaut<br></p><i></i>
