Subject:
Orcs will do anything to win
You've probably heard what happened to ILA and me last night. All the news outlets covered it, but I want to set the record straight.
We decided to try the King of the Hill endless map in OMD2. Thanks to a strategy devised by Nananea, one of the greatest OMD2 players of all time, we turned a lost cause into a textbook example of orc control. That is, until . . .
Long story short: We were down to one rift point at about wave 37, I think. We were prepared to accept the agony of defeat and walk away with our bonus skulls. But the orcs could not win. They only had to get one enemy through the rift, but they couldn't do it. We kept beating them back, using our signature pro cyber athlete tactics and skills.
Wave 40. That's right. They still hadn't won by wave 40, the defining wave. A 5-skull victory was within our grasp if we could just keep the earth lords at bay. We were within inches of an impossible triumph when . . .
The game crashed.
If you watch that Nananea/Fryedegg video to the end, you'll see that the same thing happened to them.
Orcs must die because they cheat. If they can't win by conventional cheating methods, they'll crash the game.
They will pay. Their orc children and grandchildren will pay. Yes, unto the 88th generation.
