SundayTournament

2009-09-22T14:47:00.000-07:00

We want to introduce a new tournament called
"Sunday Championship"
which will (obviously) take place every Sunday.

The brilliant twist here is that you can only use Sun.
The tournament will have one full NimbianRiot member there attending and writing down the resaults.
The Nimbian who wins this tournament will be the
"Sunday Champion (SC)"
until the next tournament will take place (which is the sunday after that). And the winner gets to wear the tag SC for a week.
At the end of the year, the person who has won the most will become the
Sun Master (SM)
and gets to wear that tag for a whole year.

This idea came from Mirax and a few players have said what they think of it and the reactions have been positive so far. We think it would be a fun way for us all to meet at a special time and play games together. The titles SC and SM are really just for fun.

We are thinking that 6pm (Swedish time) GMT+1 is a good time.
However, what would make things alot easier when it comes to deciding what time we should start, is if you write a comment on this post who you are and where you live if you're interested to join this tournament. Then when we have all the players we can choose a time that almost fits all. So please do so, and write comments on what you think we can change about this idea if you have any thoughts.
This tournament is all about having fun together. So we hope that you find it enjoyable.

- Best Regards =Nimbian Riot=

Interview with Burning_Heart

2009-05-21T05:06:00.000-07:00

What's your name? Miklos Szabo

How old are you? 16

Where do you live? Australia!!

How long have you been playing Netstorm? I started playing netstorm when i was 11 so about 5.5 years I'd say

How were you introduced to the game Netstorm? Well, there was once a player on NS called Haschel, basically he went out with my sister and yeh eventually it led up to him bringing the game over and installing it on my computer

Which guild have you been a member of? Damn this is a hard one, ummm... definetly JEDI is the one I've been in the longest but on the way i've also been in Leaf, WoC and... e* i think it was called.

Which guild are you currently a member of? The one and only JEDI of course!! JEDI FTW ; )

What's the best thing about Netstorm? The best thing about Netstorm would have to be the fact you can come on after so many years and still find it enjoyable. Also the fact that it is just an interesting strategy game with great people on it. Another great thing is that you get to wear sexy tags, like the one I use now =)

What's the worst thing about Netstorm? The worst thing on netstorm would be....not being able to find a game after 2 hours of sitting in the zones. Oh how good life was when I had that much spare time ;P

Who is your favourite player? I can't say I have a favourite player but yeh if I did have a favourite player they'd most probably be from JEDI. Not to be biased at all but honestly, the people in JEDI are the nicest people you will meet on Netstorm ; )No matter how nerdy you might think we might be, you know it's true!

Which unit do you like the most? Well, I don't really have a favourite unit but i have a few favourite combinations. Ice cannons and sun bars/stones are definetly my favourite combo, it is the tech which i use quite often as a side and it manages to work quite well... most of the time : P And of course bow spam FTW for mid and 1's =)

Which unit do you hate the most? The unit which I hate the most would have to be the arcs, I hate using them and I hate them being used against me : P. The fact that they are annoying to kill and that they wipe out almost anything is annoying : p

North or South? South for sure

Why? the advantages are quite great compared to north and generally it's just easier to bridge from south, just as it is to place units etc When I play verse good players the person who is south usually ends up being the winner : P

Side or mid? Definately side!

Why? This is the time when I get the chance to whip out ice cannons and sun all in one go. It's a lethal combination and is very fun to use ; ) Especially when you get the flank! Although if I'm versing someone like Ingwe this usually ends up going downhill =

What are you best at when it comes to playing Netstorm? I'm best at ... rushing when i'm on my good days =) Ohh i love the feeling of getting down to someone isle before they get the chance to post when i'm mid ; )

And what's your biggest flaw? My biggest flaw...hmm...hard to say because it varies on different days but yeh being lazy and letting myself get flanked or just thinking someone is too easy and end up letting my guard down ; p

What's your best Netstorm memory? My best Netstorm memory, well i have a few memories of Netstorm. The first is when i first started playing Netstorm, you see the person who gave me Netstorm was originally in JEDI and so the fort i used had a JEDI tag on it, I came online and everyone starting laughing because I had this tag on. All i remember saying was " what is it"?? how do i get it of?? lol. And of course during that time i was not told a thing But yeh I remember when i first started playing netstorm i had no idea what i was doing, did not even know how to place a unit! ( thought it was placed on top of the bridge not on the edge) That took a while to figure out, ohh how noob i was ;P It's amazing too see how far i;ve gotten but some might argue that : P

Interview with RAMA

2009-05-18T16:41:00.000-07:00

What's your name? Ramil

How old are you? 23

Where do you live? Russia, st'petersburg

How long have you been playing Netstorm? I started december 1st, 2008

How were you introduced to the game Netstorm? I found it on the internet

Which guild have you been a member of? 1st guild =NR=, 2nd JEDI/PD

Which guild are you currently a member of? PD

What's the best thing about Netstorm? the best thing is that we can play and can get better after every game. It's great games which aren't too long and we can play many games.

What's the worst thing about Netstorm? worst is: not a lot of ppl play now :(

Who is your favourite player? my favourite player is sagi because when I see him I say: "saaaaaaaaaaaaaaagiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii" and he says "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

Which unit do you like the most? xbow

Which unit do you hate the most? hate enemy's xbow

North or South? south

Why? Because I can't play head over heels

Side or mid? mid

Why? Because I like to rush, from south

What are you best at when it comes to playing Netstorm? I'm best when it comes to attacking a few places at the same time

And what's your biggest flaw? my rush is slow :(

What's your best Netstorm memory? when Ingwe told me I have made PD

Interview with Patriarch

2009-05-18T15:59:00.001-07:00

Whats your name? Mike

How old are you? 24

Where do you live? Pennsylvania, USA

How long have you been playing Netstorm? Off and on for ten years

How were you introduced to the game Netstorm? my IRL friend eRoc's older brother played netstorm habitually during his college years, and he introducted it to eRoc, who introduced it to me

Which guild have you been a member of? NeWoC

Which guild are you currently a member of? NeWoC

What's the best thing about Netstorm? The best thing that probably kept me coming back to netstorm, gameplay aside, was the small community and togetherness we all had, even if we were all in different guilds. The more you played, the more cool people you met, and the more the nimbus skies felt like a second home. As far as the game itself, well, alot of things make it good - what other game do you have to bridge alot in?

What's the worst thing about Netstorm? The worst thing about netstorm, I suppose would be the fact that it was abandoned software that never got a real chance to blossom, as well as the fact that it came out with alot of other big game titles and got swept under the rug. I've always felt bad about the third party projects that tried to extend netstorm, but didn't quite make it, and the fact that the current beta is also basically abandoned. However, there still has been some major improvements to the game so it's not like nothing was done at all. The second thing, which is a usual cliche to say at this point, but the steep learning curve that surely twarted many would-be players.

Who is your favourite player? it's hard to pick out a 'single' favorite player of mine, so I might as well not do that. I've met a great number of people who have affected my life and I surely have affected theirs, for the positive, whether it be about real life things or training in netstorm. They all know who they are, so thanks !

Which unit do you like the most? My favorite unit is a toss up between ice cannons and crossbows, but I use crossbows more so I guess i'll have to go with that. They allow me to get a good rush, and hopefully crush someone within the first few minutes. (which works sometimes, not all the time!)

Which unit do you hate the most? Least favorite unit is probably balloons, even though they are cheap - they are equally weak. For a serious game, and if i'm gonna pick a flyer, it surely would not be balloons! Not to mention, if I do have the time during a rush to build a sunshop, I'm gonna pick something of more worth like an extra generator for teching up, or bars/stone towers..not balloons!

North or South? It doesnt much matter to me.. each side has its benefits and drawbacks

Why? cause I like bridgin down more than up =P

Side or mid? Side or mid depends on what tech I feel like using. If i want to practice my rush, mid for sure, but if I want to get a 2-3 workshop start, and practice using those combinations of units, then side is obviously where to go.

Why? Side is fun sometimes, because in 1's, I rush more then I don't, so I rarely get those 2-3 workshop starts. However, I love to rush more than I don't, so thats why I like mid.. Maybe its cheating to take both answers, but ... I like both!

What are you best at when it comes to playing Netstorm? I think my rush is pretty good when I get a chance and the time to fine tune it, and I think I do a decent job of using each unit to its maximum potential/purpose. Sometimes I like to use suncannons, just to out-range the bow, and etc. I'm also resilient when I want to be, and can draw a game out usually pretty long if I'm losing, or equally get a victory after a long faught battle.

And what's your biggest flaw? My biggest flaw is, more often than not, not teching up at opportune times - or at least before my opponent. Then it's either a rush to catch up and get some equal tech, or I've just lost the game.

What's your best Netstorm memory? To pick a best Netstorm memory is hard for sure...I've enjoyed all of the failed guild attempts me and eRoc had back in the day, swiz calling me up at new years, and stormy ordering me chinese food in my town when my cell phone was broken. There are way more great memories than I could ever explain here, but I'm sure that's the same for everyone!

Interview with s0fst3p

2009-05-18T11:57:00.000-07:00

Whats your name?: Jose Ryelle known as J.R

How old are you?: 18

Where do you live?: The United Stats, Texas.

How long have you been playing Netstorm?: Been playing since 97-01 09-now.

How were you introduced to the game Netstorm?: I found the game. It was selling for $9.99 u.s... =p the cd and everything

Which guilds have you been a member of?: all I can remember is Knight and NeWoC. I have been in others but can't remember =\

Which guild are you currently a member of?: Currently a NeWoC.

What's the best thing about Netstorm?: Best thing about NS is that it is very strategical. One slight move can cause many different outcomes.

What's the worst thing about Netstorm?: Worst thing is that the community is diminishing. Fewer people every year =\

Who is your favourite player?: Fav player is myself! =] not because I'm the best but because every player has their ups and downs and I don't wanna name names =p

Which unit do you like the most?: I like arcs the best. I'm not the best with them nor do I use them alot but when I use them I find them entertaining and very effective =]

Which unit do you hate the most?: the unit I hate the most is a bulf. but since the next patch they can cary twice the sp... that can change very easily

North or South?: South

Why?: I find it easy for the units. The units were made facing up =p. and theres advantages. height/range/ etc.

Side or mid?: side

Why?: because I don't have to go that fast. or have only 1 ws =\, that bores me. 2 ws and more units is awesome.

What are you best at when it comes to playing Netstorm?: I am best at "trying" to help people. I quote that because somtimes I just can't, lol.

And what's your biggest flaw?: biggest flaw is when I see there's no more hope. I quit very fast. Or when people say "gg" I stop trying as hard and end up losing.

What's your best Netstorm memory?: Best NS memory is all the laughs. It's nice when you actually bust out laughing in real life rather then just putting a "lol" , hehe =p.

Interview with besorah (Nutrivend)

2009-05-18T06:59:00.000-07:00

What's your name?: Dominik

How old are you?: 21, 22 this summer

Where do you live?: born in Slovakia, studying/workin in Czech rep.

How long have you been playing Netstorm?: started feb 05.

How were you introduced to the game Netstorm? I played the demo in the late 97 and I immediately fell in love with it, tho I didn't have the full version, nor internet back then. I reached the full version like 4 years later and internet in late 05 and that's when I started playing online.

Which guild have you been a member of?: 0=]SWORD>, -=POD=- currently

Which guild are you currently a member of?: -=POD=-

What's the best thing about Netstorm?: I don't know, the fact people still play it after all those years says for it. For me it's prolly the most awesome and original strategy game ever which you can never stop playing. Cool small community too.

What's the worst thing about Netstorm?: Very few people still play it, I'd hate to see ns die, hate to see it dying. Personally I like the game what it is like now, I wouldn't change anything, Tho there's been alot of patches released to help attract new players as ns is said not to be newbie friendly, I don't think that's the problem tho.

Who is your favourite player?: Used to be MrBig and CC back in the day.. Now its Arris, by far :)

Which unit do you like the most? Bows

Which unit do you hate the most?: I dislike when sun discs are used as it makes me feel like I'm playing against newbies ;p

North or South?: South

Why?: I'm way worse from north for an unknown reason. Maybe it's just the feeling it's the position I dislike and that's why I screw up.

Side or mid?: definately side

Why?: Mid is good too, but I've always been side. I dont really know, miding would be more difficult to learn from back in the day I was getting better and that's why I'm stuck with it

What are you best at when it comes to playing Netstorm?: Cash handling and winning lost.

And what's your biggest flaw?: bridging and playing north. I'm also a slow player, but that's cause of the lappy i play on, im usin it for my excuse :P

What's your best Netstorm memory?: There sure are plenty. If i had to pick one... i don't know, making it into sword as a guildless newbie was definitely awesome. Or the POD thing.. Out of it all, id pick having all that fun through all those years with all the cool nsers anyway :)

Interview with Galgoth!

2009-05-17T13:33:00.000-07:00

Whats your name?: Jelle Laan

How old are you?: I was born in 1987, 25 of October

Where do you live?: I live in West Europe ''Holland''
aka the netherlands

How long have you been playing Netstorm?: To be honest, I don't know =P But I'm sure I've been around for more than 8 years

How were you introduced to the game Netstorm?: Two real life friends called Devil and Skynet who are member of the guild KNT Introduced me to the game.. Though I'm the only one sticky to ns still =(

Which guild have you been a member of?: I've been in FOTN ''Furies of the Netstorm'' Made by Stormy, a guild together with Stormy and Executioner..I'm not sure if this guild counts as one. The guilds I've been in are WoC and the Legandary guild 0=]SWORD>

Which guild are you currently a member of?: WoC

Whats the best thing about Netstorm?: Good question, at some point NS was too important for me. It made me score bad grades on high school back in the day... If you really love NS you can be obsessed with it. Some People are too active, It's like they're always in the skies. I know they spend all their free time to Netstorm, I'm not calling any names like Ingwe...What's good about NS:
It's actually the best game ever. A strategy game in 2d which never bores, including a loyal community

Whats the worst thing about Netstorm?: NS can be a too big part of your life.(Look at Ingwe)

Who is your favourite player?: My best Netstorm mate is Besorah aka Deborah. Looking at any possible Idol of Netstorm it would be Sneaky Newbie

Which unit do you like the most?: Stone Towers

Which unit do you hate the most?: Does bridges count? Maybe I hate Snatching Air ships the most of all, no idea what else

North or South?: Definately North

Why?: In some way I'm more alert playing North, but I'm okay with South as well =)

Side or mid?: The more I play mid:mid, the less I play mid: side. But overall I prefer Side, though I hate my side allies getting owned. From side I can own from zero to win.

Why?: It's just what I'm most used to that moment

What are you best at when it comes to playing Netstorm?: My main goal is to keep the Netstorm community alive. besides this I try to stay an elite player, since I'm known as one. The question: What are you best at when it comes to playing Netstorm? If this question is based on tech I'm great with Stones and Bows. Next to this I like to be a social person, like running Warriors of Chaos. And I try to be friendly to anyone who deserves it.

And what's your biggest flaw?: If I have to mention one situation I have to say: Some tourney final VS Ingwe. I totally underestimated him.. He never was hard to beat that time and so I didn't care about anything related to ''trying'' I lost and he got the fame. Underestimating keeps happening.

Whats your best Netstorm memory? All I did for Warriors of Chaos, My friendship with Besorah, Dissing Cirr0stratus, coming online totally drugged on Cocaine/Amphetamine and drunk. The game itself and the community who are awesome..

me wants teh worm

2009-05-14T10:38:00.000-07:00

Today I was out on a stroll, minding my own business. And here comes the bird! Yes, thee bird. He had caught the catch of the year! A huge worm, slimy, fat, shiny, long.
Thee bird sees me, and goes into attack mode. With eyes gazing at me "take teh worm and me mind will explode". Better safe than sorry, so I decided to leave that delicious worm to thee bird.

This is a mongolian Death worm! Don't visit the Gobi Desert.

What are you best at when it comes to playing Netstorm?: Spamming and cutting.

And what's your biggest flaw?: Trying to not cut or spam too much.

Back in the days I use to play alot with Lotf.
Had an awesome time with the guys/girls when netstorm was still active
and full of games and fun people.

But it's not the same as it use to be, things change
and they aren't looking to bad at the moment.

What we think about (Jessica):
"She walks like a flower but she stings like a bee", my dear Jessica a.k.a Ms.Spamalot (always going purple), :D. Haha, sometimes we hate eachother, and sometimes we love eachother. That's because we are somewhat simular I think. With that headless chicken homeisle of hers she can shock the entire NetStorm crowd with her sneaky bowspamms here and there. Keep it real my dear / Lith

Jess is a strange person, she can go from being happy and love everyone to going mental and wanna kick someone in the face. But thats one of the many things that make jess the person she is.. awesome / Mirax

What we think about (MGren):
I think he is a really good player who gives alot of thought to the game. I respect his dedication to the =Nimbian Riot= guild and that's one of the things that makes me feel really proud about being a member of the guild. So just to mention (if there's anyone who doesn't know) MGren is the leader of the guild =Nimbian Riot=.
At many times I can be stunned of how quick he is when he's playing.
Not only when it comes to bridging and rushing, he is also very fast on reacting to what his opponent is doing / Lith

I think MGren is one of the better players on Netstorm. He is very fast and makes the right decisions. He is also very polite and treats people well / Mirax

Which guild have you been a member of?: =Nimbian Riot=

Which guild are you currently a member of?: =Nimbian Riot=

Whats the best thing about Netstorm?: Hm, I think the strategy, because you have to use many different strategies to win a game. And Netstorm isn't like other games. This game doesn't end, you can play forever. Netstorm is highly variable.

Whats the worst thing about Netstorm?: Hm, I don't really know. Maybe it's the fact that some players, are kind of bad persons. However, that's just a few number of them.

Whats your best Netstorm memory?: Hm, when Mirax and I play and win against good players in 2s.

Manuel is a really good player, but most importantly he is a very good person. He treats players with respect and beat them in game. I get most of my training from Manuel. // Mirax

I think that Manuel is a really nice guy. And he is sucha good player. Everyone should be getting a piece of his huge humblepie. He always cares about his ally/allies and he is always up for a game. I am so proud that he is in our guild =Nimbian Riot= :) / Lith

Sing Along fellas ._.

New Fort =)

2009-05-07T13:40:00.000-07:00

I won in a 1s with RAMA today :), that was awesome.
I don't think I've won against him since he became PD.
So that felt of course very nice. And yesterday I won against Sagitarius as well, one of the best players in our guild. So MWAHAHA, -I am your father-.

SS

And I'm also so happy about my new fort.
My old homeisle was really bad =P.
I can show that through pictures :D, the difference is very clear.
As you can see, on the first one I could only have three workshops, no matter how I twisted and turned.

However, on my new fort, I can actually have 6 workshops =D, wiiie.

yesssss master.

/ Lith

Exhausted

2009-05-06T18:53:00.000-07:00

Oh well, been playing alot today.
Daedalus is training me lots, and it's really paying off.
People that I normally loose against or to which I have a small chance of winning, is actually making a turn.
Here comes Lith, the mighty threat >_<

Now I'm gonna go to sleep, will probably dream of the sound of bridgepieces putting to place, hear the roars of thunder from far away, watching crystal crabs stealing, haha. No I will probably be dancing on a hill full of flowers.

Goodnight, sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs...
