[FIFO] ilhilh [FIFO] Beta Tester 2,451 posts 7,514 battles Report post #1526 Posted June 22, 2016 Met P4RDUS last night twice. Firstly he was in my team and we had a well fought win. Second time he was on the opposition... with another forumite that I forget the name of. I can't remember that game specifically... perhaps it was the one where I stupidly ate 4 torps early on but my memory is terrible. Then after that I had 3 games in a row with robihr as my team mate. They really did epitomise the frustrations that I have with ranked games - 1 game included a YOLOing Indianapolis (4 enemy DDs and he literally sails into the middle of New Dawn and dies within 3 mins of round start) and a teamkill in the same game. The next game was a win but not before all the DDs did their own thing and in the end left robihr horribly exposed and he died. Looked like a loss but we clawed it back - but it was in no way an enjoyable win. The final game we lose half of our DDs piecemeal with them fighting 1v3 and when we lose 1 DD the next decides it is his turn to fight 1v3 and dies. In the middle of it the Pensa sits side on to their BBs and within a few minutes of the start it is 7v4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[FATAL] krazypenguin Beta Tester 573 posts 2,930 battles Report post #1527 Posted June 22, 2016 i met krazypenguin in his yubari today (Random) (was the Arp Kirishima/Kongo) I actually remember that game - your Kirishima was the first one I've seen in a random. IIRC (which I probably don't) I was fighting someone else who was about to die and I was actually thinking to myself "right once this guy's gone, I'll take a look at that Kirishima!" but I think you got sunk yourself at that point. If it is that battle, I then got carried away in a knife fight with 2 DDs and ate some torps which probably lost my team the game. But was a good scrap :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[POPPY] Khitan Players 110 posts 25,982 battles Report post #1528 Posted June 22, 2016 Saw Yoshi last night in his Zao on my team. He was quite rightly berating our cautious Gearings in a DD heavy game that relied on us pushing hard and fast. We won and he & his Div buddy played well.

[WG] Crysantos WG Staff 3,754 posts 17,659 battles Report post #1532 Posted June 22, 2016 I've met quite some forumites during my ranked battles session - papedipupi, ghost_swe, limonchiki, Teob_VG and many more. It's fun to see so many familiar faces around, although I'd always love to see you on my side, would make the grind a bit more enjoyable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[CBS] Allied_Winter Players 6,242 posts 10,755 battles Report post #1533 Posted June 22, 2016 I've met TOMBIEST in his Baltimore today.

T_H_0_R Players 1,015 posts 4,182 battles Report post #1534 Posted June 22, 2016 Just saw Trigger_Happy_Dad in his Taiho. Enemy Essex decided to bomb a DD next tome. Result: 21 planes shot down. This was my last Des game for a while, until they do something with her turrets: Lost them to Zao's AP. - Having trouble with Des at close range? No problem. Load AP and enjoy the fun.

It would be rude not to pay tribute to his survivability in his myoko. I delibertately targeted him in my nagato when I saw him on the enemy team...sorry matey. You were a threat to my sanity.

[POP] YukiEiriKun [POP] Beta Tester 1,500 posts 5,749 battles Report post #1542 Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) Nice to meet you too! That weird guy though...him threatening to kill our CVs and then friendly fire right from the start...shocked our whole team imho. :/ I have seen similar action before.. Can't say if it was the same person but it went like this: (TK) Hi Yuki! Speak to me! (me on Skype to my friends) That's a bit strange... (TK) YUKI! Speak to me or I'll torp (my friend in BB)... (me on Skype to my friends) Are you ready for that? I am not going to speak to him.. (my friend) I'll be on the lookout, he's planes are circleing me... (TK) SPEAK TO ME NOW OR HE'LL DIE!!! .. anyhow, it went on for a bit and then that TeamKiller torpd my friend. So basically similar situation we had. He demanded that you'd acknowledged his presense and then he attacked. *****EDIT***** Oh, and sorry for beeing an utterly useless BB. Like I said, that was my third battle in Amagi and I am SO lost with her.. But few sober battles and I think I'll see the light.. (I mostly play while drinking with friends xD) Edited June 23, 2016 by YukiEiriKun 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[HNS] Sonic_157 Players 727 posts 18,147 battles Report post #1544 Posted June 23, 2016 Met Takru a little while while ago in a Ranked match. Unfortunately he was on the enemy team.We were both in our Blyskawica and after an initial gunfight for the caps my entire team died leaving me alone against five enemies.In the end and after an intense gun duel, me and Takru killed each other almost simultaneously. He finished first of his team with 4 kills and over 2600 base xp!Excellent play captain, hope to see you again in the seas! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Always good to have a great player on your team when you need to advance to the next rank. Ah! He didn't show broadside to a BB in that battle? Guess he must have learned something! (I 1 shot him in his "oh so secret and I cannot speak about it Indi" in a wonderful match. didn't see that 1 on YT though.) Compliments Flamu! (IMO he's the most arrogant of all "community contributors in the game. Look at his vids. Killstealing and "[edited] whis and [edited] that. Sucker!!)

[FATAL] krazypenguin Beta Tester 573 posts 2,930 battles Report post #1546 Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) Just met Crusherheads in his Iowa on my team whilst I was grinding in my Japlanta. He dominated to finish first and I grabbed second place. I got very annoyed with an enemy Kiev who outranged me and repeatedly set fire to me so I was immensely satisfied when Crusherheads cornered him at about 4km and nuked him. Was a really nice battle, quite even until it finally swung our way for the win :-) Edit - just realised the enemy carrier was Nekrodamus Edited June 25, 2016 by krazypenguin 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Babykim Beta Tester 1,649 posts 6,477 battles Report post #1547 Posted June 25, 2016 We ( havaduck, DJ_DIE and I ) also met Flamu, but in a random game playing the Anshan.

[OM-S] Kann_Nix_Extreme Players 388 posts 15,432 battles Report post #1548 Posted June 26, 2016 I had the good fortune of getting into my first match of the night with my Lexington pairing up with Kann_Nix_Extreme in his Essex. He will gladly attest to how I've managed to pull off a very good game despite being half drunk! :p Glad to see you around, and thanks for drawing the enemy team's attention to your higher-tiered planes. TheIdesOfMarch93 really stole the show that day, half drunk or not please don't glorify my poor decision to get into draining dogfights over and over again, that was just poor play ^^ I really sucked that day, so the 6/6 torp hit on Derpitz felt like christmas! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He might be arrogant and salty sometimes but I guess noone can deny that hes a great player. Seems like you are a bit jelly since he probaly outplayed you a few times but it could also be that you kinda dont perform on higher tiers who knows for your own comparison check here anyway I've met a few guys yesterday, such as flamu, teob, thd and some I cant recall right now. cheers Edited June 26, 2016 by BrawlingHornet 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
