Mines in Goldeneye were a delight as you had to be crafty when using them.

However all of the above was easily topped should dreaded proxy mines appear. In this instance you were able to mine the flag, capture it, die and then respawn with the flag still held by you - but destroyed and unable to be taken back.

I'm kinda sad you didn't find the best mine exploit.

You can flip weapon crates over by shooting them. Once the bottom of the crate is facing some direction other than down, you quickly throw 3 proxies onto the bottom face as fast as possible and then pick the crate up before they can arm. You see, goldeneye doesn't actually ever delete objects. Everything in the level always exists in some form or other, and this includes weapon crates after you've picked them up. They just go float outside the skybox and the game returns them to their spawn location after a minute or so. The mines are more than happy to go along for the ride and wind up facing down touching the floor when the crate respawns, rendering them completely invisible.

This gets unholy amounts of rage if you play with anyone who camps weapon spawns. Double bonus if it was a proximity mine crate.

Oh I know the answer to this one! Because the aiming system in Goldeneye was really awkward and his head actually wasn't at the perfect height for headshots, it was slightly too low and it was a slow pain to aim down far enough without conceding to aiming downward all the time.

I seem to remember that if you held down R and the downward C button you could go into some sort of sliding crouch where you'd be even lower to the ground than you already were. This made Oddjob almost a pain in the rear end to shoot. Am I misremembering this? Because I'm pretty sure my cousin slugged me once for doing it.

This implies that people played without one hit kills, which would have made headshots matter.

Comically over-complicated. All mines placed on weapon crates turn invisible once you pick the box up, and once the box returns to play you can't see them, there's no reason to toss them on the bottom. Also one is plenty given that people naturally run up to ammo boxes, so while you're playing tiddlywinks with a box of ammo another guy's gonna be rushing through the stage, tossing mines onto three times as many boxes and picking them up without even slowing his kneesurf.

More STO crazy time with Linamia, the man who purged HOBO!

So, over the past few days, Linamia has created a few alts to evade his forums ban and posted a big pile of threads advertising his terrible new website and how swell HOBO is doing now that he kicked everyone out. He has also started posting about how he now leads some alliance of fleets and HOBO affiliates. Representatives of the fleets he named denied any knowledge of this and did not appreciate being associated with HOBO. Pubbies immediately began to poo poo all over him, and he then concluded that everyone was a Dental spy. Everyone. Especially the leaders of the fleets that he said he was allied with, since they must be Dental infiltrators sent to make him look bad. I apologize in advance for this wall of text, and if the thread is getting sick of HOBO stories, I'll stop.

http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=828731 (This thread is a merged mess of about 4 other threads, and I doubt it will last long. It's already past the point of no return. I'll try and get some of the good parts in here before it gets deleted.)

Linamia, on his new pornstar-named account posted:

New fleet website went up in a new form I think you'l enjoy. Lots and lots of pictures
wanna see an all picture fleet website? http://www.beautifulorionhouse.com/

Note the terrible geocities-era webpage. He originally had his home phone number posted up in a huge font so that people could contact him to place their fleets in thrall to him. After he allegedly received a call reminding him of his dental appointment at Drozana station, he pulled that down.

Linamia posted:

Here you go again I post and you make fun of my postings. I haven't seen a webpage like this. I've seen ridiculously boring fleet webpages, tributes to one elite poo ba and other such nonsense. This fleet webpage is a masterpiece of love and togetherness in the face of unfounded charges. We are the best so why hate just appreciate .........

Linamia posted:

You have absolutely no taste in photography or anything related to it. please don't post again and make yourself look .........tryn to think of a nice word but can't so i'll leave it blank for others to try.

Linamia posted:

Right and this is from a fleet from EVE online who only mission is to disrupt others game play. You did it in EVE online and now your trying it on sto. Problem is the lovers of sto are way more stronger than EVE online and will reject you and yours forever ...... so keep bashing me it will boomerang back and hit you between the eyes and when that day finally arrives we will dance for 30 days in drozana without trolls.
We barely bother to correct people on this one anymore. Everyone knows that Something Awful is a gaming website that came from EVE. :rolleyes:

Linamia posted:

You are probably a dental/NOP spy that has infiltrated Nova core. The person you are speaking of talks to nova core personnel on the ts3 chat and had no indication that attitudes such as yours existed. The only people who think and talk like you are dental/NoP's. maybe this post can root you out of a noble fleet such as Nova core.
This was in response to a member of Nova Core (a PVP fleet) questioning why his fleet was being lumped in with HOBO.

Linamia posted:

it says you make people unhappy by your unethical practices and trolling evils. Sorry you don't have the IQ

Linamia posted:

spam cause you say it is isn't spam. spam is what your are doing tryn to derail my op'ed with useless garbage talk, but in the past it worked this is why you continue to try and control the forums like like you try and control drozana but guess what.. I'm here and I'm at drozana teaching the masses about you and yours. Doesn't matter what you say we will keep on defying you at every turn until you leave.

Linamia posted:

after you get a real life instead of destroying my op'ed I may spend little cash. It is wrong to appreciate good fleet members? is it wrong to praise them? It doesn't matter what form it's in people love to be loved. You on the other hand love to hate and you love to make fun of people, you love to disrupt people game play,role play. Good does conquer evil but it takes longsuffering, patience, and courage. With me as their leader the people of the star trek community can fight you at every turn until you return to eve Online and crawl back under that rock you came from.
Yes, he is now claiming that he leads the STO community in the fight against Dental.

Linamia posted:

I founded HoBo, I love HoBo, I fight for HoBo, you will not deter me in honoring my people. Your useless outrageous claims will not bear fruit. Everyone knows how sad and pathetic you are. the more you talk against me the more my people know and see your true natures, evil, condescending, garbage.
This is probably a good time to point out that all these places where I've quoted Linamia talking about "you people," he's calling someone a Dental member or plant. We hadn't even been posting at that point. All these people he's raging at are just pubbies telling him that he's an idiot.

newromulan1, a guy who really hates Dental posted:

I don't know what Lina has been drinking - but it's not good stuff. As the "Overlord Dominatrix" (her choosen fleet rank title) - it does not make things look good for the rest of the fleet.

Linamia posted:

Yes in fact a crusade sounds very nice ... We are the forgiven ones challenging the dental hordes of Mohammad
There is no way that this could possibly be a bad idea.

Linamia posted:

go ahead bann me but get this 5500 people have seen this post and now everyone knows about you and yours. You should have left me alone and not troll my toons at drozana, Ds9, and now Qo'nos, romulas. Why can't you leave gamers alone why do you get into our camera views blowing smoke or jump up and down in our faces. You caused me to speak out and fight you at every turn. Leave me alone ...... Leave me alone .......I say Leave me alone .. I pay for this game .... I have a nice fleet ...... I have many friends who stand by me ... leave me alone ...... do you hear me LEAVE ME ALONE ....
Those people who are standing by him sure aren't.

Linamia posted:

No sir you and yours have been exposed for stealing everyones fun and forcing people against their wills. Invading peoples camera space and supreme harassment at extreme levels, and looking at this picture of yours you do favor Mohammad

tl;dr: Goons are the Saracen hordes and Linamia wants to lead the game in a literal Crusade to ethnically cleanse them, but the rest of the community isn't having it.

Linamia, founder
When I was born, the moons circling our planet turned bright red, the waters that filled our oceans began spinning like a top, and the ground trembled with glee. Our world was locked in a titanic struggle against an invader from another world. Prophecy revealed, that a child born during a worlds war would bring peace between worlds.

When I reached the age of reason, I infiltrated the enemy home world and touched its swirling seas with one hand and sifted the sand with the other. This action produced a quantum temporal time singularity. A time wave wiped out all modern life on the enemy planet sending it back to the stone ages. This waring world can begin anew in peace.

With my home world safe and my heart yearning to explore the universe, my people gave me this space ship as a reward. After traveling the nearest galaxy I stumbled upon the milky way. I learned of a great union of planets, called the Klingon Defense Force, My home world joined this force and with their help I plan on bringing peace to more troubled worlds.

We have legitimately sheltered and bolstered the refugees from HOBO. We give them free access to top-tier gear, as well as occasionally dump a bunch of money on them. At this point, he is actually accusing everyone who isn't a part of his fleet of being a Dental spy, or otherwise being in league with Dental. Also, that "HOBO tribute to 23 members" thing? I'm pretty sure that's most of the real players they have left at this point, albeit spread around 500 characters.
