Insurgent winbolo tactics- fight to loose

many of us do not have the time or whatever it takes to be a winbolo master.

We fall into open games to kill some time, and try on some different tactics that may see insane..but i prefer to call it assymetric warfare.

generally this is only worth while if you do not have any allies- it is a purely individual, lone gun, single shooter, resistance behind enemy lines sort of winbolo game. the goal is not to gather all the pills or bases.....not to win, but to cause havoc, ring up some tank kills, and make empire building difficult for other teams.

1. gather one pill and place it near a spawn site. snipe all teams.

2. gather one pill....create tortured city scape with box and one base inside.
lure other teams in and kill as many as possible. think urban warfare.

3. if in tourny or strict games.....box in as many bases as possible. winning for this player becomes how many bases one can deny other players.
create walls and other obsticles.

4. follow parachutes and box in and hold as many lgms hostage as possible.

none of these will allow you to "win" a winbolo match. however... sometimes we must take the battle to the foe....and create a system of winning all our own.

Can we have this deleted? I believe that this could come across as innapropriate for younger people. I think that locking wouldn't satisy the purpose here, as it would still allow reading of this topic.

NOTE: THIS IS CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM. TRY NOT JUMPING OUT OF YOUR HOLES SCREAMING.

Dan, quit it.

At least you didn't scream.

so now your polluting potentially good threads with your idiocy dtm? .... nice, why don't you just leave and not come back, you havn't contributed anything to this forum since you joined it.

While it's laughable to ask for a thread to be deleted because it has the word "insurgent" in it (anyone young enough to be affected probably wouldn't know what it means) I don't see this thread as being "potentially good" either. I've been guilty of the same thing in the past, but I bestow the award once put upon me: "Eloquent Statement of the Obvious".

(Ignoring the DTM garbage) Insurgent, I really like the way you're thinking. That is hilarious. Those are good things to remember during one of those bland opens loaded with nubs spinning in circles and one or two vets going "mwuahahaha" all the time. A very interesting and entertaining monkey wrench to throw in the open game machinery.

is it the name or the tactics that will be a danger to the young? first of all the role of insurgents goes way back before our current debacle in iraq.. the French Resistance were also an insurgent force..and who doesn't love those guys?

at any rate- i still think that insurgent type tactics will add a novel spin on winbolo play :idea:

How could something add a novel spin to something when it's been around for years?

hes applying stuff like the french revolution to the game. You dont see in every game people planting pills right beside the start points (i try to). You dont expect to die, and not come back into the game because the pills keep on sniping you. Thats the novel spin.

Think of the recent events on the home page as history. If you see that "so and so" is just slaughtering tanks in the game, and then you all-of-a-sudden see every 3 seconds that he dies, thats the novel spin. You dont see it coming.

Putting pills next to starts happens in almost any open where it's logistically feasible. It's really nothing new.

/me jumps out of hole screaming :!: :!: :!:

Yes, for laughs I used to do all these things. It's about time someone listed them. I used to go around in opens repetitevley taking bases, (every base except the ones in the superbase) mining, and destroying tanks.

One of my fav tactics was to make a base with no pills, in the middle of a huge patch of mined out shallow water. Basically I'd make a tarmac mat around a base, some walls for defense, and left parts of the wall open so I could shoot out between them, and make passing tanks get stuck in the shallow water because they have no boat. It was quite funny, theyd be all sinking and pissed, theyd try to build a new boat and I'd shoot their LGM, then once they were out of ammo I'd go out and wall them. It was fuckin fun. That sound used to be an innocent glugging of water, but now IT STR1KEZ TEH PH33R INTO MEY ENEMIES!!!!!!!!!!111 MUAHAHAHAH

Even though what Insurgent is talking about has been around for years, not many people have chosen to document it. I'm sure Samhain might have hinted at a few things but other than that my WinBolo Ethics document would have been the closest which does talk about walling in LGMs and bases. Not only that but also killing trees and carpet mining.

These are fun things to do in opens or tourneys/stricts which still haven't been won. Participating in a 1x1x1 and then being the first player out gives you the chance to do a whole lot of these things.

So who wants to be the first to successfully implement and explain a Maginot Line?

I have no issue with anyone doing that stuff, it's part of the game. Some people threw a hissy fit over it back then, and I would expect no difference now.

This shall all go into my leatherbound book, Winbolo for Idiots (Patent Pending) upon your permission of such assets to any winboloers vocabulary.
