survival guide
beginner: enough said
stalker: the subject has realized that it could be fun/useful/a good idea to select targets
the subject cuts through barrier upon barrier, but he does this in order to reach a mid to long goal
the subject is aware of potential attacks and will probably escape most stalkers around except his own
aim: becoming a runner or a stalker .. understanding the game hopefully but not generally the case
fail: trying to survive instead of trying to learn by testing one s limits .. the first 50 rounds are like the first years of a kid.. it will define most players
advice: this game is not for everyone.. although only by giving it your best will you know if that is the case.. never hurt anyone to die repeatedly while learning the moves available
as long as it is done in gentlemanly fashion (as much as that is possible in playing a biker mod)
runner
enough said
aim: win
fail: total
advice: get to trying to be a stalker or a navigator
stalker
the subject has realized that it could be fun or useful or a good idea to better understand the different weapons available in pc.. to select targets (one at a time.. bm players or leaders.. or just a friend you are playing with regularly)
as stalker status is reached, the subject cuts through barrier upon barrier (0° 90° 180° every which way), but he does this in order to reach a short to mid to long secluded goal
the subject is aware of potential attacks and will probably escape most stalkers around except his own personal
all pc "players" are stalkers or were once, .. most players never get past stalker status
aim: improve
fail: not improve
advice: attack more, don't wait for lag to do the work for/against you
navigator
this is more like an extra layer to any player "type"
the subject now realizes that he is drawing a maze with his opponents (not unlike playing trackmania in setting up obstacles, only in real time)
he gradually remembers more and more of where he has been, what he has built, or all of the aforementonned
.. then he sees new elements in old layouts and identifies them mostly but not as opponents' s strategy or tactics yet.. he knows that doors need to be or "left opened" or "closed forever" and this to one s own advantage and possibly for further use in scaring, preaching or herding (a grid can see 4 and sometimes even 5 players in the same "conflicting lanes", so moving players t your advantage is a must, a positive boon)
finally, he remembers shapes drawn by all players (inclding his own) and positions/times his coiling accordingly to head shot block or trap his opponents
aggro
subject feels animosity and needs an honest outlet, which he finds in this game
supasayenstalker
some stalkers go up and own navigator and maybe leader status, but the satisfaction derived from acting the part (stalker) is too great to set aside.. and so they become special stalkers.. all unique but all bound and therefore a bit too transparent in their coiling
snake
some clearly stand out,
also, they aim to hurt you where it hurts (in the nerves, the head, the soul...),
to show you just how much you have yet to learn (list of snake types incoming next post, when this post gets to page 2)
turtle beast
runners are to be converted until they turn into these
