Title: Flare Fever: common disease among veteran MD's...
Post by: Ronin RedFox on June 21, 2010, 06:49:25 PM
A Material Defender's daily job requires entry to reactor areas. Flare fever is a common side effect, resulting after exposing to high radiation and... Flares!

I had a flare battle with S13DriftAZ a couple days ago...

His flares ended up igniting my fuel leak...

It's really easy to flare yourself. Just flare the wall and slide around touching the flare until it sticks.

Flare-catching (shooting a flare down a hallway and flying past it so it hits you) is actually a pretty good way to practice tri-chording + ab-pulsing.  If you can do it in a Phoenix, you're getting there.  If you can do it in a Pyro-GL, you're pretty fast.  [I'm not sure if it's possible in a Magnum-AHT.]

This reminds me of a netgame me, Techpro, and I believe Foil (dunno if he remembers) did once during which all combat deevolved into shooting each other with flares.

Even though we really weren't doing that much damage to each other, it was still pretty fun. :)

If I had known that I might have beat Arrilen Po...

I get a lot of stick for throwing flares around in Veins trying to get that extra 1 shield.  ;D

I miss the days when flares traveled as fast as your lasers :P

But the slowness of them makes it easy to lay down a wall of them :)

I definitely remember.

As I recall, you and I ended up ganging up on TechPro in the flare-fight... I don't remember who got the kill shot, though.  :P

You probably wouldn't have...  you practically need a flare war.

I can't remember if any of us managed to get in a kill shot...it at least took awhile...I believe we were all fairly freshly spawned when the flare war started. :P
