 Anyone here play by the name of "MaD-SkiLLz"?
If this is "you" or you know who this is, please get in contact/put them in contact with me "Prda2or" I have a few questions for this person. Got me GOOD in a game I was cruising around in over at Micro's twgs, reminded me of an old "Xide" type of a #SD#'ing.

I've played against him, more of a loose cannon, poor strategies.

Do you have a filter from your brain to your mouth ?... Why are you critical of someone's game... ? What gives you the right to say anything about someones game....? He is still learning... Not a PRO or an ELITE like you !

 Re: Anyone here play by the name of "MaD-SkiLLz"?
Take it easy, everyone's still learning. And no one knows that they need to work on their skills until they are told (or better yet shown.)
In 1992-1994 no one in 517 stood a chance against me.
In 2003 I didn't stand a chance against anyone.
In 2011-2012, I've been able to win some games, I've lost some, most recently against CBYNot. I lasted 16 days before folding though which I was happy with. (Admittedly toward the end I was mostly just reacting to his decisions.) He was willing to talk to me though and that was helpful.
I wouldn't have known what I need to improve (or that I need to improve) if I hadn't been shown or told.

Excellent, I know how he got me (He used a citkill after I P-Dropped him.. he dropped figs, xferred to another ship and warped a planet in) but after i came off my planet to remove figs he dropped in the sector my controls went haywire, i'd like to PM him about it, was kinda cool, lol. A couple of other wierd things happened too... its what i wanna PM him about so thanks Orion, that would be cool to put him in touch.

Well it was a game I wasn't really being serious about anymore since i had already #SD#'d everyone in the game, i think it was 4 to 5 other players in this particular 60k turns game. I made some silly mistakes in the game (like when i "fused" after i had already doubled podded while invading someone in that game, lol.) was the classic "underestimation" move as I had been podding him at will. He's a little over aggressive but it worked for him that day, so I say good job MaD-SkiLLz!

If he's one of those people for whom the the corp's needs come second, for example not gathering MCIC while gridding, now that would be a loose cannon. I have just seen him in a game sitting at terra or dock, probably logged in to the game to check it out and decided not to play that edit. H

Ummmm, i did --->NOT<--- think that MaD-SkiLLz was "Xide".... I merely made the statement that the way he #SD#'d me that ONE time that he got me "REMINDED" me of the way that Xide used to get me.... AT KEYS, leaving me looking at the screen thinking "What the hell just happened?!" HUGE difference there. I was giving him his due, (NICE KILL, btw) and I wanted to talk to him to see what I did wrong, OR what HE did RIGHT! In this particular game I had podded him repeatedly but never #SD# him at keys. Guess my mistake was under-estimating people like I used to do early in my TW "career"... won't do THAT again, lol.
