I watched and enjoyed all of your replays. I hope someday to be good enough to play with pros like you.

Please post more games.

Red ruby I've already told you posting replays are a waste of time. I tried to watch two of them and it had nonexistent stuff happen in game like caps blowing up and players like doci losing to pwnshop. This happened in my own replay thread so I just gave up.

Lol, and what do you use as you're ingame nick?

Seen plenty of replays working but I'm not checking mine anymore tho.

I know who the smurf Rage Above All is. But ofcourse, I wouldn't tell anyone.
And maybe I'm smurfing aswell, who knows?



If there is anyone here that enjoys looking at Fallen when he rages OR if anyone wanna watch how you SHOULDN'T Play, look at sleeper in this game. Or in any game for that matters.

This one is for the lulz.

U use Sinkiller on ICO aswell? Never seen you afaik.
What is causing these issues?
Sounds wierd. Maybe It's you?
Never had any abnormalities in any of the replays I watched but I know in other games where you play up a replay that is a different version, the replay acts wierd.

So maybe this has something to do with the DLCS?
Anyway, All DLCs are installed now, I thought I had all but I didn't so I bought them today.


Also latley I see so many new players, regulars and sometimes people with several hundres of games, going 1-2 civlabs really early as frontline/deathspot.
It's fucking stupid.
If you can handle it, Fine. But 99% of the players on ICO can't.
Especially if you are in a game with people of higher skill lvl then yourself.
For example. In this replay Jbaum is doubled, Look how he handles it vs 2 players less skilled then him.

And also, the guy that is vs me.
Going 2 civlabs, not colonizing in the propper direction. Getting the volc and not fighting for neutrals.
He dies in the first 6-7 minutes and he couldn't do anything, Not only because he is a noob. But because he is going Civlabs and getting Civ techs in a 5s instead of spamming LF.

Pros and Cons with Civlabs

Pros with 1 lab:
•The Terran Tech for Vasari & TEC. For the Advent, it's usefull as eco but costs too much otherwise imo, but if your planning on getting 2 civlabs then fine.

•2 Civ labs: You can colonize Volcanic and Ice planets, Trade for tec, mineral upgrade for vasari, culture for advent.

Now all these things that you get from Civlabs, is leading to less LF.
1 Lab is more then 2 lf less. 1 lab + tech is atleast 3-4 lf.

Cons: You can't do shit with Civlabs really. You can't get military research (READ: HP UPGRADE ARMOR UPGRADE MAIN WEAPON UPGRADE) because you're out of logisticslots if you don't upgrade logislots and that results in even less LF.

•Its fucking stupid

•Pretty much tells ur opponent that you got 0 cash for LF and that they're free to spam and overwhelm you.

Replay here

 







Also to Sinkillr,

When I tell sleeper he sucks and that he needs to lose his sucky attitude, he sais: "STFU Red, You Suck, Doci and Grimm owns you in less then 10minutes.

Well sleeperetard, they win vs everyone on ICO except for themself 99% of the time. Big suprise.

So no, I don't think he is doing it on purpose, because I don't think there is a human being that could be that retarded. But maybe he got some kind of mental problem I dno.

So it's sunday and alot of good people online.

This game is sadly pretty onesided but as usuall, there is still alot to learn.

This game contains alot of the best players in sins, including: Grimm, Fallen, Oli, Specter/Achilloraptor, Matze, X-Wing, Dusky, UNSCAdmiral, Bender and myself ofcourse.

In this game we got an eco, a suicide spot, a sandwich and shitloads of neutrals.
Neutrals are IMPORTANT.

Hello Red Ruby,

When someone is in the eco slot and is asked to go early feed or late feed, what does that mean and how do you go about it?

Hello Red Rudy,

I would like to talk about the lobby area for the multi-player. I noticed that a lot of players scores that don't seem to add up. For exp., If someone has 500 games played in total, and out of that amount, he or she has 250 wins and 11 loses. Doesn't this seem suspicious. Where is the 239 missing games? What I mean is there a lot of cheating in Sins Multiplayer? I can understand mini dumps of games, but you see a huge difference between wins and losses and a lot of missing games.

Do players cheat by hosting games, and while playing, they would pause the game for a long period of time to make the other player drop.

Or how about having two Sins accounts. You basically play against yourself, but one side almost always wins, while the other side is a dump for your losses. Or even worst, play a 5s game with your two accounts. Both accounts will play on separate teams, but your loss dump account will throw the game to make the 5s more like a 6v4 match up.

I notice a couple of hosted games where its 2v2ai or 3v3ai. Is this a good way to keep ass%&*#s out of the game, by having human players side against the ai.

Maybe im being paranoid, but I would like to know if you feel that there is a lot of cheaters in sins multiplayer and how to spot them? 

Thank you.

Just to clarify, it is NOT considered "cheating", "sneaky", or "unethical" to simply quit a game...players who quit aren't doing it to avoid a loss on their record, but rather they are doing as a courtesy to not drag games out unnecessarily...if you know your team is going to lose, the right thing to do is simply quit so that a new game can be started...

The reason why "quit" is preferable to "surrender" is that if you surrender, the replacement AI will NOT be friendly to your team...sometimes you may be wrong, and your team actually could win...or perhaps you have to leave because something came up in real life...either way, surrendering really screws over your team because they not only lose a human player, but the AI replacement will turn against them...quitting on the other hand ensures the AI replacement will at least try to work with the remaining members of your team...

backup,

go to "how to deal with starbases" section of the grimm's guide

its not a 100-percent coverage, but still pretty good

 Hello can you please upload some more replays  thank you.

@ caucau,

I don't think Red-Ruby plays anymore (at least not under this nick). The replays also break with each patch.

Unfortunately some of the replays are so old they've seen multiple patches.

Your best bet is to auto record games yourself. You are bound to  end up in a game full of pros. Then watch the replay and see what the Pro's are doing.

Some players to watch (these are very strong players), are Diamonddragon, fallen, x-wing, doci, grimm, achilloraptor, sb=>ferdie, oli, hummer, bender,  & Big. (there are others but this is a start).

Watch how they play in various positions i.e. aggro, suicide, eco etc. and how they expand/colonise etc.

The replays will help you tremendously, but playing 5s games will help even more. There are things you just cant get from watching replays alone.

I am a fairly new player & nearly up to 800 games and only just starting to get the hang of the more strategical side of things/reading the map etc. (this for me was very hard to get I was virtually map blind for a long time).

Also remember most strong players have been playing for 4-6 years, hence have thousands of games under their belt; maybe even tens-of-thousands, as records reset with each expansion.

...anyways good luck this is probably one of the hardest MP community to get into.
