Damn. I've done this a couple of times but last night was the worst. Blood Gulch, I'm Blue and in Red's cave looking at the red base. Someone tosses a frag at me. I back up and wait about 5 secs for them to come in so I can shotgun them in the face. Well, noone shows so now, I'm convinced they are trying to come up behind me. I turn around and there's a guy with the Maw looking at me(a guy on my team). I was so caught up in the moment that I literally unload 40 shotgun shells, 3 frags and then I pick up the Maw and start flaming. Noone is dead or injured. I'm thinking it's evil lag, the worst ever. apparently, part of the time he just stood there messaging me but I don't read messages while I'm fighting.

Long story short. He messages me that I'm a retard (he's right). I didn't know that admin can TURN OFF TK abilitiles. Anyway, I was such an idiot that I thought I'd post to give you a laugh. I apologized 3 times but I'm sure he was thinking that noone could be so stupid.

That happens to me when I drop out of games, and join a new one. I have to remember to double check what side I am on.

this problem has only occured when i just joined a game, and i'm too tense to figgure out what color i am. i see, i shoot.
but with other things, i've developed a rather risky stratgy to wait until i'm sure of my targets. problem with that is, then my targets kill me

oh yeah, it's called a flame thrower. not a maw

once, not to long ago, i was on red and the teams were un-even so we got a blue coming in the base every few seconds, i was in the base waiting and picking them off one by one with my shot gun, and after about 30 kills there are tuns of red dots all over geting rilly close, i hear some nad's go off and then all the dots stop on radar, its quiet, and my team mate runs out of the corner and i shot gun him right in the face,

polopesca: oh -blam!-!

blishkernif: nice

pollopesca: sorry man, it was a reaction thing.

blishkernif: np

and then we were freind once more, lol. any-ho i'm hungry now so i'm going to make a sandwich, a ham/turky sandwich. :)
hey it sensored me, i typed oh sh-it not oh -blam!-.

hehe, ive done that a few times. Usually i do it (on accident), then he does it back despite my apologies and then we start to doing to everyone and just start a huge TK fest which results in me being banned. hehe, its so much fun, i think i have a record number of bans. the funny part is im ususally in first or second when it happens with like 30 kills and 6 deaths. Everyone thinks im really really trying to win and then i just run up and shoot them.

Its priceless

This is a RETICULE, and that is a RETICLE. I'm using the latter to aim. And what are you using?

The color thing happens to me a lot too. Especially when I've been playing on one team for a long time (several hours straight) and then switch to the other team for whatever the reason is. Usually I keep killing the same colored dudes like before I switched. I don't pay attention to the green triangle, I don't pay attention to the motion tracker, and I sure don't pay attention whether the reticle turns red or not.

The best (or worst) I've ever done that way was a double-killtacular. Well, it would have been if I wouldn't have shot my own team... Damned no-shield games. :p

um........ you guys r'nt too smart are you....

there are hundreds of ways to tell your color, one of those being to just look at what base you start at in CTF. Or you could look to the top right of the screen and look at the little red or blue symbol that tells you what the game type is and what team your on.....or you could be stupid and shoot at everything you see until u get banned.

True but I have quit a game jumped back in and just forgot to look up at the color. It happens and most people forgive you but some people hate it and as others have said you get into huge TK fest. It can be very fun.
