Title: Zill OP?
Post by: Shinkurex on July 02, 2013, 04:01:47 pm
Hello everybody,

I've come to you again to present a disturbing fact. It has been whispered here and there that a certain someone may be op I would like to see if this is in fact the case.... please present your arguments here, and the Tribunal will pass judgement

(Yes Zill I dared)

Sincerely,
Shink

p.s. This is totally my fault :P

Meh. I used to find him OP. He just broke my censorship, so I'd like him nerfed anyways.

Zill has too many friends, friendship is OP.

We have to strike at the heart of the Zill problem. As hamster pointed out, zill has many friends. Now we all know what friendship is! MAGIC! and you know who has too much of that? Nerf ponies!

So if we turn the ponies into glue, will friendship be glue?

... Glue sticks people together, like friendship does, my god, magical dead ponies are the GLUE OF FRIENDSHIP!

And there ya have it. Kill the ponies for friendship.

Post by: Lord Dick Tim on July 07, 2013, 06:35:26 am
Oranges dissolve glue right?  So if we cover Zill in oranges, he will lose all his friendship glue, and thus lose his powers.

Zills kryptonite is Oranges!

Morbie and I had a revelation, he is oranges.  We can use Morbie to kill the OP.

It's simple: We nerf the Zill.
Title: Re: Zill OP?
Post by: Lord Dick Tim on July 07, 2013, 06:49:39 pm
By throwing Morbie at him.

Shink. That is all. That is all that is wrong with Zill. Shink.

Post by: Shinkurex on July 07, 2013, 10:12:55 pm
Wait so I'm the cause of Zill's OPness? I think I could live with that :P
Title: Re: Zill OP?

Yeah. All your fault.
Title: Re: Zill OP?
Post by: Piemanlives on July 08, 2013, 12:05:48 am
I'm with tim, throw morbie at him, it's the only logical option.
Title: Re: Zill OP?
Post by: Shinkurex on July 08, 2013, 10:04:49 am
but how do we get them together? Zill is in the US, and (correct me if I'm wrong) Morbie is in New Zealand (or somewhere around there methinks)?
Title: Re: Zill OP?
Post by: N-Sunderland on July 08, 2013, 10:07:10 am
Yeah, Morbie's a Kiwi.

Somebody needs to abduct Zill and send him down there.

Hm? Doable. Costly, but doable. Does Zill have any known allergies, though?
Title: Re: Zill OP?

Oranges.

Oranges.

If we put our money together we can order him a whole basket

Simple really, you could fire morbie at zill with an ICBM

Knowing Zill he would dodge it.

Hydrogening out of a mushroom cloud? Interesting idea.

Pre-Nerf Artemis, loaded with a morbie, it should work.
Title: Re: Zill OP?

I didn't know morbie was comprised of enough fusionable material to cause a nuclear reaction.

With the recent addition of some newer players to the forums, I figure that I should raise awareness against Zill.... Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a problem... and his name is Zill... no longer are we safe hidden in our homes..... no longer can we roam the skies without fear of ambush... yes... it is time to finally NERF ZILL! WHO'S WITH ME?!?!
Title: Re: Zill OP?
Post by: HamsterIV on October 07, 2013, 02:16:03 pm
There is no game mechanic Zill won't exploit, no piece of level geometry Zill won't use to his advantage. Any attempt to NERF Zill would only make him more powerful. If you are opposing Zill in the skies you are already dead. Make peace with this and blame Shink like the rest of us do.

I feel that he got nerfed enough when the Goldfish fell out of the meta.

Idk. Lately I see a fair number of them with blenders. I just rather fly squid at the moment ;/

Seen a lot more Squids lately. Makes me really happy.

See, attempting to nerf Zill, it has done wonders for ship variety in games.
Title: Re: Zill OP?
Post by: HamsterIV on October 07, 2013, 06:42:55 pm
I would rather face Zill in a Goldfish than a Squid. I can put a Zill piloted Goldfish in my gun arcs (at least for a few secconds), I can't put a Zill piloted Squid in my gun arcs.

You can get your guns on it, they just don't do much of anything.
Title: Re: Zill OP?

I have yet to subject my self to the horror of a Galleon under Zill's command. I don't think I want to either.

It is a traumatizing experience, Hamster... you would need like 10 simultaneous lumberjacks just to take down a turning engine...

I've been a rabbit in those scenarios, avoiding the Zill war machine by avoiding Zill.  It is the only power we have, the only nerf that works.  To beat the zill, one must not fight the zill.

Agreed. The only way to win, is to not play.
Title: Re: Zill OP?
Post by: HamsterIV on October 11, 2013, 11:55:55 am
In all honesty I have been following the Lord Dick approach to dealing with Zill. He is on my friends list mostly so I can avoid his games. When I was a new player I mostly remember the curb stomping I would get in lobbies filled by people who would one day become the Merry Men. It developed an irrational fear of Zill that I carry to this day.

Sorry Zill you are a victim of your own success.
Title: Re: Zill OP?
Post by: Lord Dick Tim on October 11, 2013, 01:53:37 pm
Boycott the Zill!
Title: Re: Zill OP?
Post by: RearAdmiralZill on October 11, 2013, 01:54:04 pm
I have a hard enough time filling lobbies Y_Y
Title: Re: Zill OP?
Post by: HamsterIV on October 11, 2013, 02:11:42 pm
When ever I hear some one harassing a level 1 pilot who just joined the lobby, I tell them "Be careful, that could be Zill's alternate account." I don't know if Zill has an alternate account but the possibility he does is enough to scare some people into acting more civilly.
Title: Re: Zill OP?
Post by: Yiski on October 11, 2013, 05:13:12 pm
Yes, Zill's alt account is named FrontGeneralBill.

He just shows up on the scene, hidden behind his mask, carrying out justice. But as soon as the match ends? He's gone, and no one ever saw him leave.

He's the hidden hero...
Title: Re: Zill OP?
Post by: James T. Kirk on October 12, 2013, 08:33:50 am
He's the hero Guns of Icarus deserves,

But not the one we need right now.

He fights in the shadows to protect the light.

He is:
FrontGeneralBill

Boycott Bill would have been a catchy slogan too.  To bad we just got Boycott Zill.
