Performance enhancing drugs?

[old.Gibz]

Lo folks,

Just wondering...

I noticed I played better than normal tonight in Q3, which is very unusual and almost unbelievable. I also noticed the many cans of beer by my feet.

In some sort of reckless mathematical logic I equated the two together....

Anyway, in this mass hysteria of cheating llama syndrome, I was wondering, should we ban performance drugs? Do other people think alcohol inceases their ability to frag? Does anyone really care? What do people consume to help them frag?

Basically I can't afford to drink everytime I want to perform in Quake, so does this mean that Q3 is a game for the wealthy only, is there a cheaper option?

Also how about a BWAdmin mod that will tell if someone has taken drugs or drink when they play, being judged by abnormal behaviour..how about a change to the rules?

Does the standard of play improve on Friday nights? Soulthief inferred he had been drinking but seemed to play quite well...should he be banned? I think so without a shadow of a doubt.

Ban the evil liquor before Quaking is destroyed pls BW!!!!

without a shadow of a doubt
drink helps
as you drink
we all know the brain starts to switch off
parts of the brain, like you would never do that if you were sober, i think this starts from the front and works it way back and down,
only leaving the core bits working correctly,
well almost working.
so in effect ,drinking, is like tuning
your old autoexec.bat file ,removing parts
of the system that are not required for the task in hand,ie. fps games.
could we get funding for this research,
we would have to play a lot of games on superfast machines with low ping, and then drink beer.
we could also see if getting blow jobs at the same time, would help our gameplay.
lol
another this is, as it takes time to get drunkish,moving onto midnight, you will notice you ping is lower , but the most significant thing is your netgraph/lagometer
lag line is now very very flat and smooth.

Intoxication reduces activity in the frontal lobes, thereby reducing inhibitions. In the case of Q3 playing, you probably lost any concept of self-preservation. If you were playing an organised teamgame you'd probably get slaughtered, but in FFA, not worrying about dying was a help.

When me clan EED took league games and stuff really seriously, we used to chuck stacks of coffee down our necks bofore a big game.

Some of us then slipped even further down the rocky slope of caffene addiction and started taking 'pro-pluss' before games. It started off with one, then two, then a whole line. Some players started taking them with coke, others ground them up and placed them under their eyelids for maximum absorbtion. Sleep would be denied for days, our eyeballs would bulge out of sunken sockets, our wifes left, our children cried.

Soon we stopped playing games like Quake and Counter Strike and started mugging old ladies and ram raiding launderettes to fund our addition. In the end we even had to sell our beloved gaming rigs.

We're now all white haired and pale faced lonely old men, dispite having the average age of 25. Heed this message kids, drugs are bad!

Having a fresh shave and cleaning meself up, then having some red bull/coffee sets me up for a battle.

Simple as that, I jusyt dont manage to do that as often as i should.

[old.Jools]

surely by volume a mixture of meths and lighter fluid will achieve the right affect?
Once you have got over the gagging reflex that is, plus if you by in bulk you will save a fortune.

Um, sorry wrong universe

The meths/lighter fluid idea has merit...not so good if you light up a fag (tho that will produce copious amounts of adrenaline). The screen is a bit hard to see through a wall of flame...especially if it's coming out of YOUR nostrils!

Remember kids....

Winners Don't Use Drugs!

 

[old.venturer01]

but as you can only have one winner,
the rest of us
will just have to use drugs,
as drink is a drug,
and just think how good we could be without the drink,
we only drink because we would win all the time.
lol not
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
