Again, I bet Nahin only survived cause he spaced out.

I've flown alongside Nahin many times, and I've never seen him space out.

Thanks for hosting, again.

Nope idd, he's just better than you. Either get used to it, or gank him early while you've got the numbers and firepower to deal with him. People at Nahin's level can outfight most of us one on one, and often two on one. You have to use teamwork to beat them. If Rita Repulsa had had the basic common sense to send out a whole squad of giant monsters instead of just one per epispode, she'd have easily crushed the Power Rangers. She clearly had more raw firepower available, but no concept of strategy.

Of course, this is a "do as I say, not as I do" moment. I'm pretty sloppy with my teamwork lately. Didn't do a good job of backing up my teammates at all. Need to work on that.

Well so far in every NW iv been, everyone with a Valk shot someone and then when ganked, turboed out beyond the asteroid field. You need to enforce the rules better Pizzasgood.

There's a difference between hit-and-run tactics, and leaving the asteroid field. The asteroid field is sufficient size to support the former without leaving the asteroids. I have only seen the latter a handful of times, and most of those were when the player in question was purposefully forfeiting the NW.

Everyone knows Nahin is a cheater: he dodges and aims : ]

Just cheat better than him : )

The "no leaving the asteroids" rule is about keeping people from flying 50km off into the distance and just sitting there until they win by default because nobody else can find them to kill them. It isn't to prevent people from running around, and like slime said, the roid field has plenty of room for running. It's more than 5km across. Yeah, sometimes people get outside it, but they don't go far, and it's normally an accident - sometimes the entire furball drifts outside the roids because everybody is too busy shooting at eachother to pay attention to where they are (and if they tried to break away to return to the roids, the other guy would slaughter them).

So no, I won't be changing my strictness about the asteroids.

Instead of trying to throw blame or make excuses, just admit that you aren't good enough and then get better. That's what I do. Or try to do anyway. Here are a couple tips:

Proms can't run down a Valk, so don't bother trying. Stick together and watch eachother's backs, forcing them to come to you, where they'll be met by a thick hail of gat-fire and flares/gauss. If possible, position yourselves with a large roid to your backs. That reduces the directions from which the Itani can hit you, letting you better focus both your attention and your fire. Don't be too close though or it might impair your movement, or let people bounce flares off the roid to hit you with the blast. Don't be avalon-bait.

idd, Nahin is vulnerable to flares, AGT, gauss mk3, chain linked neut's and AAP's, like all other players, so there is no big deal killing him. Speaking about NW tactics, nahinny is expierenced player and he uses advantages of group tactics, especially when he's paired with mr.Kosmel. e.g. It's easy to kill Kosmel in 1 to 1 combat, but with Nahin's backstabbing it becomes not-so-easy-job-to-do, (remember you need to watch your back very carefully). But still, I'd say priority target should be Kosmel and only after then Nahin.

Lol, Nahin doesn't cheat.
And he can be beaten if you know how.
So idd, stop whining and beat him next time. Or use a computer instead of messing around with a tablet.
