You're scrubbier than you think Mechtharn.

#1 answer yields -5. Shows that you care more about paint than faction.

#2 answer yields -5. Shows that you care more about looks than performance.

#3 answer yields -4. Shows that you don't care about the game or in learning anything really ... just so you can buy more Yo Joe!!

#4 answer yields -3. Because you didn't even answer the question. Scrub!

#5 answer yields -3. You're so scrubby you custom painted your Mech the wrong faction .... and don't care!

#6 answer yields -2.

#7 answer yields -3. Because you find yourself constantly trying to evade cheese armies.

#8 answer yields -2

#9 answer yields -3. Because you don't care about Nationals.

This brings your total to -30. You're almost the scrub of scrubs ... but not quite. (though the scrubbiest one who took the test).

In order to be the scrub of scrubs, you must:
- fight the cheese with Mech righteousness
- declare that MW sucks and CBT ru-els
- 1 4/\/\ Vbur 1337 & 1 RVL3ZnnnOrzOrz!!!1!1!!!1
- ask your local BM to ban cheese players and pog-tossers

Nope. I figure at some point in the future I might need or want to break out the pain again. Just because I'm playing JF pure for now doesn't mean I don't harbor a sick and twisted desire to make it to Nationals. And then make the trip. :)

I scored a Zero...

Guess it depends on the mood...

Typically, I'm faction pure, but sometimes I smatter on some power units/tactics (if factions are applicable)

Fairly accurate (even though zero's not in there) ::Shrug::

Fun little test there will!

MId :)

my total score was +6

1) Stormhammers (-1)
2) 2 mechs with support (-1)

Total of -8. Non-scrub, non-berk.

1) Your favorite faction to play is ...
- Dragon's Fury (+3)

2) Your idea of a well built army contains ...
- a tank-drop or 2, an arty, a VTOL, and infantry, no Mech (+3)

9) Your feelings on the National and World championship are ...
- I kicked rear but didn't make the top 8 (+3)


I scored 29.

- positive 22 or more: You are a true burcs! A pog-tossin', VTOL swarmin', tank-droppin', cheese warrior. You play to win and expect others to be competitive, and feel that any less is a sign of inferiority just like Mechs on the Battlefield. Cheese is a term others use on whatever you use to kick their rear.

I guess that about sums it up. Thanks Will for the quiz.

woot -24 I'm a scrub. I play for fun, but don't think my armies should win if I am out played by another decent army. The players who use power pieces are pretty good in their own right for obtaining those hard to get pieces to get an army together and they know how to use them. I like looking for the murder holes in other peoples defenses so I can take full advantage of that. I use one artillery piece and VTOL for fire support and infantry to take care of other infantry.

Heh, this was interesting. Will, if you were to do this again i would suggest not putting the scores next to the answers. It might influence people to say something over another.

Anyhow i scored either a 23 or an 18 based on question 1.

heres the break down:

1) I never play faction oure and dont plan to in 450 constructed. With that said, i like to play a combination between RotS and Highlander when i play "for fun". (score either +5 or 0)

2) Well built? that would have to be: a tank-drop or 2, an arty, a VTOL, and infantry, no Mech (+3)

3) I talk for a few minutes about whatever, people ask me if im going to trade, but i usually try and: take the prize and go (+4)

4) I like Mechs, but they're (almost always) just not worth their points (+2)

5) My favorite unit is actually the DF Schmitt but since i like my donars so much, and the kelswa option was also +4 i went with: your DF Donar (+4)

6) Im not 100% sure what you mean by end game, but towards the end of the game and right after it ends i usually: promptly sweep up the field (+1)

7) This one is a no brainer: swarm your ATVs in enemy DZ (+3)

8) How i feel about SS mechs: (they) have terrible heat dials (+1)

9) i wasnt playing the game at the time of the 2004 US nationals but: Those guys who win those tournaments are not only good army builders, but good players too (+2)

again, my score is either a 23 or an 18. but definitely feel that this is the proper description of how/why i play:

You are a moderate burcs. You play to win. You want to be competitive as possible, but still have fun in the process. To you, there is no cheese.

i also have no idea what a "burcs" is.

1) Liao +2
2) Combined Arms 0
3) Teach Tactics +2
4) I like Mechs, but... +2
5) Liao Fatty +1
6) Salvaged, Yes!! +4
7) Move up Inf. +2
8) Terrible Heat +1
9) Maybe next year +1

Woot! 15! :rolleyes:

- positive 11 to 21: You are a moderate burcs. You play to win. You want to be competitive as possible, but still have fun in the process. To you, there is no cheese.

Guess I gotta work harder on being a scrub...

If you have to ask you'll never know...:p

What would you call someone who is the exact opposite of a scrub? ;)

I scored a zero. Basically I could care less what my oppoent plays, but I like to play faction pure/logical.

I love a good challenge, even if it means getting whipped regularly, because I learn something from EVERY game.

@Ven: scrub = burcs notice anything?

its been a long day.... :grin:

Reasonably accurate. Good enough for a poll in Cosmo, at least. I play pure faction and would like 'mechs to be somewhat more effective.

@Will63,

Dude I got a +4, but I protest!!!

You should have given the Highlander faction -5, instead of 0.
If it was only so, I should have gotten -1. :grin:
