reality behind noob socs in LG?
hmm… a couple threads ago, i made a post of a conversation i had about a hoard of noobs armed with d1s/manns might being a slight annoyance to the uber socs… ok, not gonna happen, but since i did that, i realized i may well have stumbled onto something…
ok, n00bs theory…
i was told an ml-35 has a 1.6 reload. dont know if this is right, not too sure i care. i think it does 82 damage total… so lets say, for the sake of making my math easier, it does 90 dmg and reloads 1.5…
childs of baal, earth quakers, entropia order all ally… thats almost 600 people. lets say that the prep talks of their leaders were of a miraculous calibre, and during the course of the 90 min. lg, half of them log on for a significant period.
ok, so… the first one of these 3 socs get there, grab the land in question. remember that not all members of these are noobs… i talked to the leaders of some (the size 80-100 ones, mostly) and almostall could at least lesser tp. so its POSSIBLE they could get there first.
lets say someone with an ml-35 shows up. ok, he can kill 1 n00b in 1.5 seconds. lets say he has PERFECT aim, and kills one EVERY shot. going by that count, it takes 450 seconds to kill all of them. now, thats 7.5 minutes, unless im mistaken. now, you CAN run from the nearest tp to there in 7.5 minutes. so, if every single noob runs back after every time they die, you can hold out for 90 minutes no problem… the noobs will just be hit about once every five minutes anyway, so they wont get too bored of dying.
ok, now lets assume that half of cK shows up, in their attempts to spread the board. erm, nevermind, i dont know how many people that is… lets say FIVE cK’s show up (lol im an idiot :laugh:). thats 90 seconds it takes, if nobody misses (im still using the 1.5 figure, slap me)…so, throw in a few other socs to even it out bit, and its physically possible that a large n00b soc wind up with land.
then of course, consider the fact that although they might not be able to take on an uber soc, they can cause a considerable annoyance. lets say they last all of 10 seconds each. LOOOOL. that gives the noobs enough time to continue running back to the LA over and over again…
and unless ive not made myself clear, noone has to fire a single shot… so its not like im thinking of 500 nobs with d1s taking out warants one at a time…

ive actually already begun trying to put this in motion… talked to the leaders of a few of the top-15 largest… some of them seem genuinely interested, some of them wanted to be sure of collaboration from other socs first, some of them just gave me the brush-off. this might be something that happens.
so, if anyone would like to assist… pretty please? if nothing else, get some shits and giggles for 90 mins…
erm, if theres anything else, i guess ill edit this…
that is, on the offchance anyone bothers to reply…
and maybe, if this all goes through, ill get some rep (ingame and out) for having been the one with the smartass idea on how to get this done ![]()
