Title: Tip of the day message
Post by: T3RR0R15T on June 02, 2009, 09:41:45 AM
We want make a "tip of the day" message on our server. Primary at the speed server (and other server later).
So what can we write? Which messages are good / informative for new players and speed server players?

How about, "Friends don't let friends spawn camp." Or, "For the love of God! Please don't stand on the ladder or in the doorway!" Or "If you want to get spawn camped, just keep standing in your base. k, thx."

Random Tip:  Don't play on speed servers if you want to get good.

There's also another old thread somewhere with a lot of tip of the days in it. Don't know where it is though.

the 2 i have in my rotation.
tip: press "y" to talk to your team. Tell your team about enemy/flag position before they get there. Team communication will help you win.
tip: Dont take the same path every time. Try to mix it up to throw the enemy off.

How about: Use your brain.

From when I used to play, I was able to intercept flag captures 80% of the time and I was always the only one doing it. It was easy, especially when everyone always used the same path over and over. Finally after they realized what I was doing, their only solution was to call hax.

There also seemed to be a lack of awareness that flag captures won the game for your team. That, no one cared, or everyone sucked at getting flag captures. I could always get a dozen flag captures in a game (though it depended on the map), and there were only two other people I saw who did the same.
