Title: [M|AoSh|99%|YAVP] First post, First Victory Ever, Carmack Nuke
Post by: FlamingTP on September 04, 2013, 10:43
Hi guys (and ladies if present) I'm totally new here, I love this game so much that I want to be in the ranks with folks like Klear eventually. I dont make a lot of money and this game is free, so this is the first of many mortem posts. Anyway, on with the show:

I was tired of losing all the time so I decided to try an Angel Challenge (I discovered AoSh is easier than a standard game for me, thought it was going to make it harder...guess not) and name my guy with real first name just to see how far I would get.......near full victory nuked JC. Keep in mind my DOOMRL install took a dump somehow (wouldn't load) and I probably ran through 30-50 or so more losing runs than the graveyard says. I tried valiantly to see if I could kill our old Friend and Master of DOOM John Carmack. After knights and barons started spawning I realized I was going to lose so I stopped worrying and loved the bomb if you get what I mean.

AoSh is indeed quite easy challenge, although you get shotgun on lvl 1 and then you can play similarly to AoSh in normal game as well.  Anyway, very nice win, congratulations and welcome to the forums :)

Thanks, may I ask what the colored numbers mean in your signature? I see that a lot around here.

A lot of people display their medal count in this way (though some even take it a step or two further).

First, welcome to the forums, and congrats on a good first win :). Now, what was the single creature you didn't kill? :)

The numbers in the signature are badges collected, from Bronze to Angelic. Check your Profile settings if you wish to create such a signature for yourself as well.

...such as ZicherCZ, for example...

Impeccable timing, your majesty.

Maybe he was referring to the fact that you get a guaranteed double shotty in Hell's Arena? That is enough of a help that I think my first victory above ITYTD was AoSh.

Dear co-Fallen Londoner, timing is always the essence ;).

That's a darn good first name you have there. :fistpump:

Meanwhile I'm trying to figure out what was the one hellspawn you left alone during your Shotgunnery quest...

Also, what. You had another nuke in your inventory? :/

This report was from a couple of weeks ago so I cant remember, I was probably low health or just forgot to clear a level. This game was the first time I ran into Nukes so I probably saved it but couldn't find a globe  so I could use it. I have much better knowledge of how the game works now.

Yeah, I'm going all out Chaos Fanatic! here and demand the changes.

After 2 years of hearing the wrong thing all the time, it's time to take action.  >.<

I seem to recall a certain Fanatic stating - quite recently - that people need to figure out the lingo on their own... D:

Part of joining a forum is to lurk to learn the lingo

No, just highly selective, as is being demonstrated at an alarmingly high rate, all of a sudden... D:

Maybe it's time to start doing something about this...
