I found some massive snake, some big yellow snake who'se name started with Donald Trump but was too long for the scoreboard.  He had something like 16k length, many times all the other competitors  He was hiding off at the map edge.

So would you say Donald Trump was a living wall?

Realized I was still five levels too low to fly a cruiser, as normally each size threshold is every five levels, but the jump from destroyers to cruisers and freightliners is actually 10 levels. I had even saved up about $16 million for both the new ship and upgrades. So I'd figure I'd look out for a place to purchase a destroyer.

While passively scumming through Genos territory, I'm ambushed by a massive groups of Genos ships; their preferred spawns appear to be small gunships(Artemis model, I think) and Ronin-class destroyers. Seeing as I'm outmatched, I shoot my way out heading towards Union space. Just as a friendly station is in sight, I noticed that all that's left in scanner range is one gunship and one Ronin. I turn back around... and pick up several more of the contacts I had just run away from. But before they arrived, I killed the gunship(one torpedo through full shields), and started to work on the destroyer. Shields down, hull damaged, about 20%-25% of their crew lost to torpedo attacks, and my marines are away. Took two waves, but the ship was captured, and friendly Union forces showed up to assist. Took out two more ships, and docked. Kept the destroyer, it was free and I have nearly unlimited funds to load it up with. Hell yeah.

Although the station I docked with has little in the way of armaments, the ship I captured, the Aegaeus, has several light missile launchers(total load: 35, previous ship had 20) and I added the enhancement that adds radiation damage(kills crew if it damages hull) to missiles.

HP? Excellent. Bombs? Way too many. Move speed? Acceptable. Damage? Through the damn roof. Shot speed? Non-existent. Glaciers looked at my shots and said: "Wow, that's slow". That is how slow we're talking about. I moved faster than my own shots. When I fought ??? I had popped algiz (resistance), ran into him and dropped bombs while saying "fuck you!" over and over. Not a single shot fired because it was near-impossible to hit a moving target.

Was getting more than a little irritated by the MAX and one of his buddies killing me repeatedly. Even a direct attack with C4 on the MAX didn't seem to work(by all rights it should have). Then they brought in a Scythe for air support. I wasn't happy. So I switched over to heavy assault. Walked outside, almost nonchalantly pulled out my (default, unguided) rocket launcher, aimed right up, and fired. The Scythe came down. Reloaded. Walked over to the building with the command point, aimed into the window, and fired. Bye-bye, MAX.

Proceeded to recap the base, netting several more kills. Went over to the next base under attack, helped recap that, shooting down another Scythe(this time with an AA gun).

Damn, Scythes are one of the most (if not THE most) maneuverable vehicles in the game.  I once tried to hide from one under a bridge and it not only followed me under but eerily hovered in place under the bridge shooting at me.

It's to make up for our everything else being nerfed into the ground, at this point. Until someone whines about how it's unfair that we can hover when all NC gets is armor and better damage, and all TR gets is speed and absurdly good weapons.

Though speaking as a long-time Scythe pilot, I won't deny that we can do the "hover over the base with thermals on acting like a flying turret, then backflip behind a wall/ridge/Gal when something tries to lock on" thing better than anything else.

One of our friends got enslaved. Another and I had ended up with female characters after the update that added them, so we put on facewraps and went (mostly) naked to the guy's gate, selling a line (RP, obviously) about being mail-order brides from Saudi Arabia. While the guy was occupied with getting my friends into his slave pen, I pulled out my revolver and capped him, then grabbed his ammo (the AK fell through the ground) and ran off to a cluster of bushes inside his compound. Twice more he came out with an AK to try to wrangle his slaves, and twice more I put him down with that revolver and grabbed his meds, eventually managing to grab an AK before it fell victim to shoddy collision detection.

At the end of it we gave him his shit back, and a day later we ended up allying after we came in to help clean up after a rival group failed to raid him and settled for griefing his base.

Managed to get first place a few times, though not near my longest snake. Stayed there for a while. Evidently what I've dubbed the "constrictor" (surrounding a smaller snake until they die) method is pretty effective once you get to be quite long. You start speeding up when you're behind a snake, then avoid smashing into them in the turn around their head. Occasionally they realise what's going on, but oftentimes it's too late...

Also noticed some dudes charging around a lot, presumably to collect the food they create by going faster... I'm not sure if they realise that doing so is quite inefficient.

I tend to go by the name SnekkySnek, byraway. If you see me, stay clear :P

They always fall for encirclement.

It's fine if you're chasing pellets dropped from dead snakes, but it's usually dangerous since oftentimes other snakes will be charging from the other end.

Ohohoho!

Just raided a group for an absolute shitload of stuff using a minimum of explosives. Better yet, happened across their against-server-rules gallery of softcore porn, got screenshots that included the names over all the people sleeping in their base, and they're gonna get a nasty surprise tomorrow when I talk to an admin.

It was doing the hovering-in-place thing, but shooting at someone else. Made for a fantastically easy shot.

So I'm playing some pl_frontier as spy on red, sort of getting rekt by a good pyro, and just after they cap first I manage to stab him and two other dudes on the cart, sort of a facestab. Dude seems to be pretty salty about it (I taunted after it and I felt this was deserved), and taunts after every kill. I eventually just ask in chat "are you so mad about a single facestab that you need to taunt every time" while walking around, and then I see it. I see this dude just idling around, and getting into a hidden spot to type. This wasn't my intent, but I beeline for his hiding spot and backstab him while taunting, and type "OUTPLAYED" into chat.

On the way to my largest snake ever (29331.8) I managed to use my constrictor method to catch three snakes of varying sizes. One of them was very clever and was shadowing me inside the circle of my body, hoping to catch me if I made an error, and there was a little shit of a snake doing the same thing on the outside.

Fuck you guys though, I survived.

Then died by running into a tiny snake that got through the last tiny space between my head and my body before they were closed within. Bastard.

Given that the two most vocal contenders for the game's player stereotype are tween kids and 18-20ish douchebags, I'd say that that answers all three questions.

As an aside, I logged on briefly this morning and happened to catch one of them freaking out in chat and murdering all his buddies while they slept. Then he died three times in a row to the landmine-shaped surprises my friend left in their base. It's why I try to avoid killing people when I offline them: it's massively more annoying to wake up in an empty base with all your stuff gone and no idea who did it than it is to wake up dead with a clear target for retribution.
