Last Base

yes, i was just thinking about this and i just wanted to know. if you play until you only one base left? for me, i alway be told that you alway play until the end. you keep on fighting even you only have one base left. but that just my opinon.
peace

I'll always remeber the game that taught me to play to the end ... I was playing drad (who was trolling as .. athena back when IP's didn't show up properly) I had half the pills or more when he joined .... and all the bases but one ... this was chew toy 3, and the one base left was one of the bases guarded by 2 neutral pills ..... he joined, took that base, I spiked it right away, yet, he still managed to kick the living crap out of me ....

Since that time, I've done similiar things to other players, I'll always remeber the time one cog, that someone had me cornered to the last side base on the westside, all my other bases were spiked, and I managed to use that last base, and remove all the spikes.

the key is ... don't play unless you have the time ...

Min

no shit........but if almost every1's left and ther about to lock teh next game, ur outta time.

definitely play till the end. a game is not over til all your bases are spiked and the pills blocking them are heated, and you have no ammo and no pills. blusnake taught me to be like that.

Bluesnake? What the fuck?

I remember our first 1x1 which ended in us both having our 8 pills in a line across Chew Toy 3. Then you had to leave for work and left your client in the game. I don't think we ever finished it.

And another thing, I had one hell of a time teaching Sticks to finish a game. :D

lol, i hade something like that only on ct96 with streetz.... :)

Define "play to the end". Does that mean you never give up hope even if you have one base, no lgm, no ammo, no pills, and your base is surrounded by opponent's pills?? Or does it mean being a gracious loser, and conceding defeat when it's plainly obvious you're in a jam that you just can't get out of, but sticking around till all bases are taken?

I appreciate people who fight to the absolute death. For their sake I try and make their death as quick as possible, just like I prefer mine when I lose. I dislike when people drag out the end of a game they're in control of when they can very easily end it and put the losing party out of his misery. I don't like being kept alive to torture! If I feel I'm dead and the winning party is in complete control, I will say gg and leave or ally unless they're close to taking the last base and making progress.

I love it, the longer they drag it out, the more likely they are going to make that fatal mistake that will let me pound the snot out of them ... it happens lots of times, they get cocky wander around with 4 pills in them .. some heated pills of their own nuke the crap out of them ... and boom .. your back in the game baby

Two points:

(1) The poll at the top of this thread is the biggest farce since Michael Jackson's most recent marriage. If you took it literally, you'd figure that roughly 90% of people play to the death. *giggle*

(2) Although playing until the end is an ideal to shoot for, and one people should embrace except in very rare circumstances, there are and must be exceptions. Min: if you had one base, no pills, and were walled-in in the middle of an ocean in a 1x1, and the other guy said, "I'm going on vacation, enjoy your holding cell for the next week," but didn't concede or close winbolo, are you seriously saying you'd sit there until he came back a week later, at which point he *may* take the last base? You're one mean mofo :D

Yeah, I know. It's a ridiculous example, but it proves the point that there are situations that are, in fact, not worth the time. (For other situations that aren't worth the time, see, e.g., any game with dz.) But the general point is well-taken, and there's a substantial portion of the winbolo population that has never pulled off a comeback. That's a tragedy. Pill massaging was always a great way to pull a comeback out of your ass, but c'est la vive.

PILL MASSAGING AND SUPERBOOM NEED TO BE IN WINBOLO
ITS SUPPOSED TO EB A BOLO CLONE!

Hey guys! I've been playing winbolo for a while now, but I don't know all the phrases... I know what regular spiking is, (w/ alliances) but what is base spiking?

If someone did that, I would probably consider it a forfeit on his part, and simply close the game. But I do understand your point. There may be some situations, very rare, that I would not "finish" a game. However assuming 2 or more players that are also willing to play until the bitter end. Playable amounts of lag, and playable amounts of disconnection(I won't keep trying to play a game if I get booted from the server every 30 seconds), Then I will play until someone has taken all the bases, or someone forfeits.
