vote on tar's cchasm1 recording

quite simple, all told. tar finds the corner of a vector on the reactor level, and all enemies come out in a pattern. shooting from a stationary point he can destroy a continual stream of enemies. there are occasional deaths but he simply repeats the trick and continues to leech.

setting up the leech is the only real danger, as you have to position yourself near a wall and risk crashing in doing so. risk is minimal with some practice. enemies come out and because of your ship's positioning, the two streams of them merge into a single stream for your easy killing pleasure.

looks like this trick was corrected in 'cchasm', later revision of the game.

vote to ban means a vote in favor of 'not allowing players to hide near the wall and shoot'. avoiding doing so is very easy--it is almost impossible to 'accidentally' put yourself in this situation. not using this trick does not affect gameplay in any way--ie: it isn't an accidental leech in any way--or one that can be minimally allowed--you have to set this one up and once you do, you're pretty much home free.

7 days is, as i recall, the minimum vote length. and, to add to the confusion, this length was never actually voted on. nor were the page/position reposnsibilities that list it ever voted on, as far as i can remember, as opposed to the actual rules page.

there used to be a big debate at MARp about proper voting procedures, and as far as i know, gb9 wrote the page you are referring to off the top of his head and uploaded it.

anyone can feel free to correct me.

but, if that's what you prefer, we can tally the votes after 7 days. i have no problem with that.

And guys... please watch the recording before you vote.... This is not a 'leeching' trick with a timer and then the game ends.. this is unlimited leeching.

doesn't change anything 'Tar' . You may be a distant relative of mine , but the point is......you are leeching here .

Oh , and btw , don't fucking ask me to believe that you actually think there was a 'Famine' . If you have ANY conception of Irish history , you will know this . Yes , Irish immigrants arrived in the US due to the 'Famine'....only because it made sense to do so . There was no famine , only the fact that the English Landlords stole everything that was growing in the country , in fact in 1847 ( The Black Year ) Ireland exported more livestock than in anywhere else in Europe....so how is that a 'famine' ?

A fucking myth . Albeit a tragic one .

Hey Tar , I'm not fighting with you....just pointing out that you have leeched on this game , and need to learn more about Irish history . Remember....history is always written by the 'victors'.....in this case , the English.
