Old men gamers....

Hey guys..... Long time, no post. :) As you may know, I am no spring chicken. At 32, I am even on the plus side of the "average" age of the gamer at 28. When I play DB, I always get a kick out of hearing things like "I have to get back to school", or "my Dad needs the comp&q...

Hi all. Hello, berated .m. . Well, I think that DavidM said it right when I had posted a topic of similar nature a couple of weeks ago. He said that because of the strong 'team' aspect of DB, the weakest link can really cause a problem for all. Now, I am not saying (nor was DavidM) that this is a re...

Why are they being killed? Idiot-proof DeathBall.....hehe....!
More rules will not make novices better, in fact, all this rule would do is encourage them to continue making mistakes. (or at least make them acceptable).

The poll answers are a bit too black and white. This issue is definately a gray area. TDs should perhaps be exceptional because it seems they are scored one of two ways: 1) an accident - a person is boosted into the net, or 2) The keep and D are sleeping and the guy just walks in. (Maybe #3 should b...

I don't know this player, but it really reads like a rambling, drunken person, full of liquid confidence and bravado.:confused:

Yeah...my post makes it sound like I have those cannons all sorted! Far from it....I got stung a couple of times today. They are just so quick when used well.....:eek:

I think it's ok to shout instructions at novice players....in fact, those times were my best lessons, but they needn't be personal or excessively harsh. David, this is a problem on the net in general; anonymity gives people the courage to say things they would't say in person. As far as being a novi...

Thanks for the support guys. In retrospect, my post seems a bit boo-hooey. That was never my intention....I really don't know what my intention was. Just to vent, I guess. As I said before, I need lots of practice and appreciate advice on the pitch. So, if we do cross cyber-paths, give me a hand wit...

Fun?

Well, I dunno exactly why I am writing this, and maybe it's laughable for most of you. Most people here seem to be pretty hardcore about this game; every match is boom or bust and the in-game comments get pretty harsh at times. Due to my circumstance, I have to play from S.Korea right now, as that i...

I just don't think that it's necessary. I haven't noticed all of the problems that some folks here have (shocked at the devotion, nay obsession, to a game!) but I can see their points if true. From a simpler perspective, sprint isn't needed at all. Deathball is a fun game and like Sir Speaksalot (Su...

Hmmmm....I don't think this is an "exploit" at all, anymore than a regular volley. I got stung a number of times by this kind of shot, but one quickly learns how to deal with it. Most of the time the ball will move in a straight line from it's brief resting place, so you just have to get i...

Hi all. First post here!! Yay! Well, I only play (poorly) on the pubs, and there never seems to be a problem playing keep or defense. Some people are sure finicky about what and where they do game on the field. I'm not sure that the good folks at DB can or should do some more coding everytime some p...
