View Full Version : Shift's Wins


Shift for Speed
12-23-2006, 12:26 PM
I will be using this thread to post my wins and losses of good battles.

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q1/shifttao/taochamp.jpg

He had a very decent rush set up against my turtle-like setup. I was able to win by taking out his Golem ambusher before it could kill my units, and once I took out one of his scouts I was able to use my frost to win the game.

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q1/shifttao/powza.jpg

This wasn't a full game, and had it been played out, I'm not sure how it would have gone. He had a same side Anti-Rush, and when it ended his Mud Golem was at 14 HP, and up to this point I had gotten some considerable luck.

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q1/shifttao/lonestar.jpg

He had a same side anti-rush with no Mud-Golem. Due to the lack of this, I just eliminated his Dragon and then trapped one scout and killed the other.

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q1/shifttao/gigolojlo.jpg

Was a very difficult same side grey game. He beat me in the opposite side game before , So i made a new set and we had a same side game. I killed his cleric very early, and he was unable to take my scout, so I was just able to shoot at his units and force him to attack.

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q1/shifttao/firebrand2.jpg

The hardest turtle style game I've had so far. It was opposite sides, and he made the mistake of losing his frost golem along with his Wisp too early. After I took these out, I made an attack with my knight to get his mud, and once this happened, I was able to take out the cleric and win from there.

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q1/shifttao/firebrand.jpg

One of my earlier freestyle games. I don't remember it in much detail, but I believe I put pressure on his cleric, and once killing it had the game.

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q1/shifttao/bludsileader.jpg

This is a loss by me agains Bludhoundz. He had a very good rushing type set up, and it was too much power for my defensive stone-golem set to overcome. I learned a lot this game, and would like another one soon.

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q1/shifttao/almost.jpg

This is another same side grey game against a fellow Arcadian Knight by the name of Almost. He played very well, but after I killed his cleric early on, I was able to win by spreading damage, even with the loss of my scout.




That's it for now, I'll be updating this after most good games.

Damn you're a little beast.

I'll hit you up with a turtle game at some point if you like.

I don't care what you say about having only played this game for three or so days. You're no n00b because nobody having only played this game for three days would beat me same side dropless grey or have gotten that good at grey (even if somebody gave you that set), or powza and FB. It's only a matter of time until word gets out about who you really are.

Chill, Gig.

Don't be mad that he pwned you.

I am not angry that she "pwned" me, which she didn't, because I "pwned" her before but the fact is nobody three days or so old to this game could beat FB, powza, or me (not being cocky).

That's more than luck, plus when you first started did you have a forum account right away?

I made a forum account basically when I joined.

12-23-2006, 01:21 PM
OK, that was a weak argument but the others were good :P. The fact is this person is not the n00b they claim to be... it's impossible.

Well, Well, well, we may have a really good "old" or "new" player our hands. He's donig a hell of a job if he beat those guys.

What did you hear?

Read their hello thread in the newbie board.

If you're really that suspicious, do a background check on them, and try and get an ip check done.

Well, as embarising as it is to get spanked by 7 in a dropless grey game and then have it posted on the forums, it makes me feel better seeing gig up there (by 6 :/) powza, SI leader, AL leader, and firebrand. At least I'm in with a good crowd of lossers :/

:p

And me wants an opp side game with you some time... should be interesting then :p

Nice wins Shift.

And Gig, seriously, it's not impossible for someone to be this great after three days. It's not a common thing but it is possible.

Belgium Rofls owned in his first week, but now he's not so good. By the way, what server are you on, Shift?

I could beat almost everyone after about a week in grey. It's possible.

Hey gigolijlo.

I've actually been playing grey daily for the past three or so months. I think I've learned the game fairly well in those three months.

Shift and her "Sister" are probably the same people, who are guys. I'll find out who they are soon enough.

Krome isn't that good.

Trust me.

I've flawlessed Krome in grey before.. and well, gig (although not as good as he might claim to be), is definitely better than Krome and wouldn't lose even with shitty luck.

Not to mention I wouldn't lose to him in a free game.

Hoolwath
12-23-2006, 04:44 PM
Meh, the cars still give him away. And he could get..ummm lucky.

another question, if ur "sister" is Drive, y is there such a big stat difference between u guys? plus i've seen u on more, just a thought, not a contradiction :p

Or is Drive the one with higher stats?

no shift has 1400+ stat and drive has like 1200 somethin

Listen pukeface, I'm not.
I said if that person doesn't believe them, to check up on them.
How is that standing up for them?

You must have smoked some bay leaves or peat moss thinking it was weed.

Hey now..
You love me.


It's not Krome.
I was talking to them both on AIM and MSN at the same time, Krome on MSN, Speed on AIM.
They both were typing at the same time.

That makes sense, because TAO skill and time to play is definitely genetic. :rolleyes:

Shift, you've played really good people! When I'm up to playing, I'd love to be made a noob out of.

EDIT: Guys, stop being dickheads. Who cares if they are who they say they are? If they end up being the same person, so what? If they end up being guys, so what?

We have members of the community who have never even revealed their gender, and some who switch all of the time! You don't get on their cases for it.

Now you're going to assume that 2 members to the community who are new can't be nice or good players just because they're new?

Wow, that's fair. Benefit of the doubt, people.

Some people think Krome shouldn't have passed 1500 on rev. I don't think he should've passed 750.

Nice wins...I dunno why everyone is freaking out cause there's a some what new perosn who might beat them. I lose almost every day...but each time you learn. It's not a bad thing to play good people.

12-23-2006, 07:00 PM

In-game mods can't run IP checks? Don't you think I would have already just to prove that you guys are paranoid about new players.

Some people are just naturally talented at these kind of games, or have been playing a game like chess for a long time. There are explanations, and it isn't that unlikely for someone to be as good as Shift after 3 months.

=O who lost on AL leader!!!

shame shame not I

Silver Coast
12-23-2006, 07:56 PM
lol shift is good, but it was fire that lost :( but overall fire got us stat for leader, shift was the only person that he lost to today
dont worry u will lose on leader someday :p

C.H.I.L.L.
12-23-2006, 08:01 PM
do not be ridiculous, i have been battering failed attempts to take me down all day on leader acc. i have yet to see an opponent to spit in my face and say "haha you lose sucker, eat dirt!"

I came to see what all the commotion was and I stayed to say...

I like cars.

:eek: Quick! Ban me now, before my Rev account jumps to 1500!

Okay, that's a lie... I don't like cars. :)

But my point is valid. That's such a loosely knit argument it's ridiculous.

Look--if you really want an IP address to prove anything, the two sisters, as they stated, go to college in different states:

We're both at home for the holidays right now, but soon we will be splitting up and going back to our usual universities (San Diego and Arizona).

Opt for one then. If they're under the same IP address, you might be onto something. *Might*. In the meantime, either put your money where your mouth is, or just shut up completely. Whaddya say?

I get accused of things all the time, I never see you come to my defence like this. :huh:
We have Member not members of the community who have never revealed their gender.

I definitely have before, I'm sure of it.

Either that, or I believed that the accusations were true, which wouldn't be a surprise with your record. ;)

Ok, so there's Uniq. And we have Hulky who has multiple personalities. Yet no one ever gets all over them. I know for a fact that you don't.

What do you want from us?

Seriously, it isn't that big of a deal. I have seen very few of you actually in game, and those who I have meet are defending me. I have no idea why the rest of you, who "know" me and my sister by our combined ~60 posts, think we can not possibly be sisters.

Then you go on this crazy nonsense about how you need a moderator to check our IP adresses, this will prove that we are someone else! Then you go on to say that the IP adress is unreliable! LOL! Come on!

Once again, what do you want from us? Can't we just be a member of this game?

EDIT: You should play me sometime Shift. Go to rev cause I don't have a gold on gl.
