Title: Thoughts of Flying
Post by: Letus on March 09, 2013, 02:17:39 am: After much spectating, and a long break (sorry if you know me, I'm having a bridezilla sister at the moment....)

I have found out a common game mechanic that is sure to lead to victory: Flying.

If you notice, it seems to be the side of the ships that fly around that will win...while the ships that explode the most won't. Maybe I'm just senile, maybe I'm just crazy...

We should nerf it by replacing the airships with plushies. This is what I keep telling people.

But those still crush things. Here's what we should do. Replace the bricks with AIR. Then we can run around on the dunes and stuff.

Actually, I kind of miss how we used to be able to walk around the dunes after falling off the ship or getting killed.

I see what you're doing, you're just trying to rebalance the game in your favor because you know you can already read. Fuck you.
