Let me guess...Jewish stereotype of being cheap?
Actually, no. I only made that kind of joke to BABL because he lives in Israel. AFAIK, you don't.

I was making a statement about IQ levels vs income. Had nothing to do with religious beliefs. And honestly, even my pokes at BABL have nothing to do with beliefs, just where he lives. Yes, I use stereotypes, but I'm not mocking his belief structure.

The whole "Jenius" thing, comes from a young lady I used to work with. Her name was, literally "Jennifer", and she was commonly known as "Jen". I'll swear on a stack of Bibles/Korans/name the book of beliefs that a sack of rocks was smarter than she was. Don't get me wrong, she wasn't what anyone would classify as "retarded", or "differently abled", or any kind of previously known "mental defective" that could be easily spotted and compensated for.

No, she was just plain STUPID. And there was absolutely NO reason for it!

I can tell you stories, and a LOT of them. I'll relate just a couple, simply for brevities sake:

I was walking through the breakroom at work, it wasn't break time, but she was at the water cooler talking to a coworker. We're in Maryland, and it was late-Spring/early-Summer... so "crabs" were in season. The guy she was talking to had a friend with a boat, and they'd go out crabbing every weekend. The two of them were discussing "how much for how many", right?

I just happened to be walking by, when THIS part of the conversation took place:

Him: "Yeah, sure. I can get you crabs. Good sized ones, for $40 per dozen."

Her: "How many is that?"

I stumbled, because I couldn't believe THAT question came out of the mouth of someone who had not only graduated high school, but DROVE A FUCKING CAR! Not to mention, had control of a forklift at work!

How the ever-loving fuck do you graduate high school, get a driver's license, not to mention a permit to drive a forklift, and NOT KNOW WHAT THE FUCK A DOZEN IS?!

He thought she was joking!

I just walked out the door, not even wanting to know where that conversation went from there.

Another one I'll tell about her, is that she, myself, and her mother-in-law who also worked at the place, were all planting seedlings up in house 22. We had a radio on, and a story about a capsized boat was talked about during a news segment.

She asked, "What's a capsized boat?"

To which, her mother in law said, "It was 21 feet long", not quite understanding her question. The boat that had capsized was indeed, 21 feet long.

However, Jen NOW believes that a "Cap-Sized" boat is always 21 feet long. CAP SIZED. Think of a cap that goes on your fucking head.... CAP SIZED BOAT IS 21 FEET LONG!

For fuck sake!

I swear to God I'm not making any of this up!
Was she at least cute?

Guilty, haha. Anyway, here's another mini-rant:

It is rarely, if ever, a good idea to intentionally jump in the water with the flag if you are not equipped to grenade jump to the battlements. Especially if there are a precious few seconds left on the clock.

Speaking of last second caps, I was grenade tossed by Matt at the end of a round. I scored after the round ended by navigating to the cap point while appearing frozen, which is my tip. The question I have is does it count for the team?

    I have very little skill, but I pick what works for me.

As was previously mentioned, block doorways on defense, particularly spiral and ele. But....

Be active. If you stand there blocking a doorway and don't move, expect at least 3 different players to throw nades at you at the same time next time through. You won't last long.

So...Stand in the doorway and when an enemy appears fire at them, throw a nade back if you can, and get the hell out of the doorway (I prefer backing up so I can still watch the doorway). When they appear in the doorway, fire at them again. Targeting them is easy, because there is only one place they can be. If they stop throwing nades, move back to block the doorway and if you time it right, thats when they also go to the doorway. Then you can shove a rocket up their nostril. One is usually enough to stop them from breathing. You don't have to block both nostrils.

Another tip: After killing an enemy, move far away from the body. Don't stand on it, it will likely blow up (could be the pressure from that plugged nostril).

I tried that too, and hadn't realized you could just walk it in! I'd been setting up engy contraptions that would teleport me to the cap point where the flag was tossed.

    Do you know if capping at the end like that counts? It would be awesome to win a game like that. Drippy in the house?

    It might be. I know the game registers a kill. During the "intermission" at the end of a round I've managed to kill someone with a grenade primed seconds before the "freeze" and I got their bucks and a message displayed on the bottom saying I killed "X" player for "Y" amount of bucks. I don't see why the game wouldn't register a flag cap. But I don't recall if the scoreboard gets updated.
