maybe i was bored...maybe not
I spend hours and hours on in playing thieveryut. I have grown to love it, hate it, FEAR it, respect it. The most important reason I play it (and I hope this is why everyone plays it) is to have fun. Thievery os more than a mod, it’s a game on it’s own, hell I can’t remember what game the mod was made for (than the UT at the end reminds me
)!
I have played a variety of games online; rpg’s, first person shooters mostly, adventures. All those games get boring after a while, having me quit in a month or so. Why doesn’t thievery get broing? I’m glad you asked. Thievery is special, it’s something you can play all day and not throw it out the window. It’s a game that makes you think.
In most games, even ones like ut that have thousands of maps to play, you get tired of it. Thievery doesn’t even have 20 maps and you won’t get sick of it...hell you can’t even get tired of it (although some times you feel like you are). For me the main reason this is so innovating is the fact that there is more than one way to win, more than one way to play. You can KO and KO, get tired of that? Than you start to ghost, get tired of that? GO back to ko. There are many ways to win maps and so many things that can happen, not just a shot kill die. It has story and atmosphere...what most fps lack. This fps (first person sneaker) has stories behind the maps that you can simply tell to your grandchildren at a fire while camping. The maps have feeling, the look great and are great. I can simply say that when I first played thievery i said “wow I havn’t seen this type of detail for a while...) Each map is almost like it’s own world for you to enjoy, explore, and remember.
Koing is damn fun. I’ll do it gladly and just go all out sometimes. It is so great to just let a guard know he isn’t doing his job well enough by smacking him on the head. It lets people improve and keeps the guards on thier feet. Instead of complaining about Bjing why don’t you should be thankful, it makes you a more open person and makes the game a bit more chilly...i mean how fun is it to know that you can just run trhough any shadow, slashing you way though it with no worries...not too fun.
Ghosting is awsome. Knowing you can use tactics and strategies to get passed the guards. It lets you develop great skills and keeps things on the edge. Your heart pumping out of your chest as you run passed a group of guards. This makes the guards senses better also, they have to listen for the slightest foot sounds, look for movements that are hard to see. A great advanced way to play.
Both ways to play are rational and fun. A combination of them can make thievery twice as fun for you. Play how you want to play, don’t listen to anyone else. Let people play their way, if everyone played the same way it would be incredibly predictable and boring!
What makes an online game online? The community of course. Simply put, we have the best community there is. Sure we get into conflicts and love and hate relationships but that’s what is so great. We are a FAMILY (that takes in new borns everyday). I remember how amazing it was when I would join a UT server and people would say..”hey I know you”....what’s more amazing is that in TUT I come into a server and i hear “back from school...fail that test today?” I know people in this community better than I know some of my friends at school. Of course there will be arguments we have..who cares..get over it and learnt to live with the people, se thier good points. I remember holding big grudges on a few people here (omega, mad gerbil). Omega’s negative comments to me just flipped me out on day...”I swear if i ever hear another ‘learn to type you noob’ reply from him I’ll...” But i got to know them and they are great people....although omega still pisses on me for my spelling and punctuation. The size of the community is great, always someone there you know, but there are new people to meet everyday. Everyone has their bad days and don’t use that against them, make them feel better! Hell, I didn’t start spelling ‘the’ correctly till 3rd grade (I’m not american..I’m foreign and one of my biggest problems is spelling...oh and i spelt ‘the’ ‘da’ LOL) I can safley (i should say usually) even joke around with people. Do i really think LR is a evil admin monkey spanking baboon? NO! I joke around, everyone in the community is great in one way or another and bring life to our family. Every guild has it’s great qualities (just because i keep saying CTG sux and so forth doesn’t mean i really mean it!) Ctg are a great buncha guys that are doing a GREAT thing for the community, hell think of what would be happening if all those people LR found from mygot and that were cheating and being lame were still around? All the guilds are great (i just love making fun of them... just like i don’t think fags are really fags and gay...no...they are damn funny guys!). I think that eating the shit out of people and yelling at them for a small mistake they made is a worse offence than cheating. And remember people make mistakes! Live with it, we are humans!
It’s so good you want to contribute your part to it. I am a mapper...have been since i first used drom ed. I won a few awards for maps i made for first person shooter games and i said man i can’t wait till UT2003 comes out so i can map for it with the best editor...well i made one and a half maps for it...never finished that half because of thievery. I said after payback I’m finishing it!....ya right....i just started on another tut map. Thievery is hard to map for and so it’s great time consuming practice for me. It is also giving me a reason to learn 3ds max which will further help my career in graphic design. Hell, tut is going to help me get a career!
The first game i ever played on my own pc was thief gold. I said this is what i want to be, this is what i want to do. Until a half a year ago i was playing fps when i stumbled upon some sentence that reads “thievery mod for ut.” i said oh boy i bet this will be soo damn cool. Well it was better than i imagined. I should be doing homework now so i say to myslef “no thievery...” what do i end up doing instead...posting on the forum all day. It’s paving and destroying my future at the same time :-/
After this i think the dev’s know what they are doing and i trust them to do the right move. I think we should start appreciating what we have instead of complaining. Stop arguing and getting into fights with people, just forgive and forget. This is a second home almost. (I live in the bsp’ed up laggy mansion i built
) so do your part to clean it up. The devs spent years working on this while all you do is spend hours complaining....instead go make a map or model, go fix some bug, go do something worth while.
All in all lets not change (too much) and try to be on a more positive note.
