I think you're using Sarcasm however I think you're serious.
This is the most awkwardly worded sentence in this situation.

My 1234 is F mouse3 mouse4 Q (Side mouse buttons). Chem/buff first, hydro/spyglass last.

Shift and control are voice chat (Caps for TS). C map, X tab, V captain spot (thumb buttons).

Post by: BlackenedPies on April 17, 2015, 01:16:39 pm: Unless you are ramming into terrain, don't end a ram in full forwards. Ideally you want to be burning in full reverse at the end of the ram. This keeps you in position, the last thing you want is to knock yourself off.

So many instant kills that way, with wailing, gnashing of teeth, and cries of "DAMN YOU JEEVES!"
