Stacy_ is a very unknown player, it's going to be a surprise who stacy_ is just like Half Life 3 is going to be a surprise.

:/

was fucking around here, but it could be socrates if that's true

nice to steal other famous names ...

Brazilians these days

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%B3crates

ahh explains it all, brazilians & football the holy combination ^ ^

Also, just because I find it so aggravating to hear the Americans saying this wrong...

http://www.pronouncenames.com/pronounce/socrates

trollin? everyone knows that socrates told djwheat that his name is pronounced "so crates".

haha, apologogies. Didn't know that. I had a sneaking suspicion this MAY have been the case... but nonetheless... it still irks me! haha.

It's so cray

hehe, we ameikans urnt det bed et speekins

dun ly u bitsh

It started when polish commentators called him so-crates so he just stuck with it iirc.

i always thought it was from bill and ted

be excellent to each other and party on dudes! not gonna lie it is my believe system and it's better than most religions

yes, how he pronounces it is from bill and ted.

SO-CRATES

He's been "So Crates" as far as i can remember. he was at a big lan in canada that i was at back in 2003 and i remember this same conversation taking place.

Rachel Hunter o_o I remember her from the Trumpet ads when I was a kid :D

ahhahaha , yeah i remember me to when i was young at that song :DDDDD I LOVE IT ... hope stacy same sexy as in this video : >

This song was beautiful because it gave me and mates the opportunity to sing a song to our mate Duncan, entitled "Duncan's Dad"

# I know it may be weird
Just because he's got a beard #

# I know it may be wrong
Just because he's got a shlong #

etc.

I demand the full lyrics!

First and original milf imo

(_._Y_._)

I really thought stacy_ was v0o playing under an alias in faceit to get practice while trying not to reveal what kind of player he is.

Shrug.

It's very hard to believe that it's socrates because he must be out of practice, and yet stacy_ has wins against rapha, dahang and rey_.

Although he does have wins against those players, his movement and aim in some situations did seem totally rusty. He played some amazing games when he won but you could tell that he wasn't comfortable with the entire game yet.

I hope it's socrates. Always liked him!

remeber randomly tuning in to qlranks stream a few months back to see the new map Cure. Cl0ck in chat said it was someone that was neither vo0 or socrates. i wish i could remember now. basically that someone was playing as Stacey and another as Casey if i can recall right. even my noob self would have remebered if it was either of those people.

few times i tuned in to Faceit Sunday cups I wish I could remember. dont really take notes on such things....

curious , even though its ultimately so unimportant, to find out who it is

casy is from vatican

agreed. a bunch of nonsense. wish incould sleep instead....

>>> "I really thought stacy_ was v0o playing under an alias in faceit to get practice while trying not to reveal what kind of player he is."

*Vo0

You're a bad judge of character then. ;) Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't thinnk Vo0 would give a fuck about that.

Stacy_ is Fatal1ty.

and risk his status as a "fps god"?
never in a million years

Maybe in a million $ tournament ;)

touche

If I would be Fatal1ty I'd practice for a month and then win QuakeCon.

Diss him all you like, you know he could do it.

:o3

I don't know about that. I don't think he'd survive against Evil, Strenx, Stermy or any top tier LG. That's one thing I've noticed watching him lately. His dodge is good but he's lucky to hit over 30%.

After years of not competing, he would need so much more than a month to even contend with the top players, and then much, much more to topple them.

i gotta stacy

daler?

didnt zoot say that the faceit team knows who it is?

So she is back?

how can you defeat all ! of america's finest and still be unknown?

it's america

rapha said in an interview that he was aware of who is that, and that he was glad to see him playing lately. Should be the same to all the other NA pros as well.

interesting, care to give the link?

I haven't checked in the video, but if memory serves me correctly it's in here somewhere: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qy7OSPT-VII

better yet do a poll!

it has to be fatal1ty ZERO4

For sure.

At first I thought Stacy is Fatal1ty. However, his ping doesn't match up since he is West Coast. I asked him in game if he knew who Stacy is and he ignored the question. I don't know, it probably is Socrates, but whoever it is I'm definitely interested in the big reveal.

last time I asked him all he said was:

"nah WE can't tell you that"

conspiracy? *kappafacenospezz*

Hope it is socrates :) would be good for the american scene to have one more of the big names back. With some more playtime to get back in shape he could challenge rapha, dahang, zero4, czm etc

i lold :D

Sounds like a name socrates would use. He used similar aliases in the past!

ofc all old school americans know this and someone could exploit it :)


edit: especially one old school buddy of socrates popped up in my mind, cl0ck :D

all speculation just by reading this thread and checking out the qlranks page someone posted above btw.

Hmm i still speak with jay from time to time and he hasn't once said hes playing quake, but we don't really speak about gaming so it could be true, he lives in dallas aswell so

oh I doubt its socrates, just saying that "stacy" and other similar type names were used by him :)

did everyone forget about 519? ultrono, gestahl, stacy, gator?

man that one quakecon was so good ;_;

yep exactly what I meant with the comment above, but someone might be exploiting it :)

it was gestahl = zero4 and stacy = socrates back then

p0rt

It's LostCause aka 1057

This seems like a promising possibility.

Just surprised that he could take games from rapha/dahang.

I have no idea, i just wanted to say a name no one has said yet lol

okay guys ill admit. im stacy

I am the stacy

sorry guys im stacy

THEN WHO WAS PHONE?

Walter? :D

tbh i think the same. stacy_'s style reminds me him a lot

it could be daler

is this the full list of signups for the duel tourney?
http://www.esreality.com/post/2454802/current...edictions/

Couldn't it be czm? didn't he allude to attending the event?

I don't think so. Stacy_ only has 1803 in rating on the only map that matters in this. czm has 2116.

And if you ask what map it is, you don't know czm :)

ztn?

Has to be fuse.

elo doesn't mean much. especially if someone trying out new ideas

Fat has also said on numerous occasions on twtich that it isn't him.

who cares. ql is a pile of warping unplayable shit.

Go the fuck away then.

That I can't do. Who would annoy you?

go moan at ur isp then?

tried that.. they said it was ql not them

Like they'd admit their wrongs without proofs. Don't get me wrong, it's not necessarily their fault. But you have to find out a lot by yourself before you contact them.

It was a joke lol. I have a super stable connection. Not every person warps on my screen but out of 8 people on an ffa server it's at least 4-5 of them. I'm not saying anyone is doing it on purpose, but it is possible. You can write a script and bind it to a key that makes you warp. Then there's torrenting... Whatever the real problem is... it's gotten worse over the last year and a half. When you watch people with 800 elo's out lg people with 2500 elo's simply because they warp there's something going on.

yes, it means we have more casuals playing the game. not like they understand how a computer works. 95% of those that warp havent set up their network properly or are running p2p programs, or both etc.

Nah, I've been playing the same 40 people for 3 years lol.

yes and? ;p

ive pld ppl that are still too dense to understand basic computers, or have no access to a decent isp, or simply dont care if they warp.

what i meant with 95% is that theyre too ignorant to think they themselves could be the problem, confront them and often they go like well i cant do anything about it, then 20 mins later its, oh wait ive got roommates on the internet. oh i left utorrent on. oh i should probably reboot my pc and router. this that blabla, its just people beeing people.

and yeah it does sometimes happen that the QL servers run like shit, or that theres a routing issue. i just find that this is more of an exception than a rule in the case of warpers everywhere.

so no the netcode isnt abysmal, its not perfect either, but in this case it has nothing to do with anything.

To be fair, id could work its ass off to un-warp warping players by taking some decisions server-side instead of staying in the unknown. So if some client didn't send new information in the last N milliseconds, the server decides on some position/velocity itself and propagates this information to the other clients*. The offending client has then to adjust itself to the server's decision and it's making things bad for him instead of for others.

*instead of the current system, which is : not sending anything and waiting for an update from the warper. That means the other clients have to try to extrapolate the warper's position until the next update. But the longer the waiting time, the more wrong the predictions will be and the difference between the frame before the next update and the frame after the update will be great (hence the warping). Please note that if there is not update for long enough, the client will simply stop extrapolating and just make the warper stand still until the next update (which is pretty much the same thing).

Have you played Q3? If you haven't i suggest you do. You'll notice a huge difference in quality of online play.
Q3 works... QL does not.

I haven't. I only discovered Quake in 2010. I thought Q3's netcode (no mod) handled things the same way as QL's but I'll just believe you on that (easier than finding servers I could test that on)

no. q3(no mod) netcode is server side not client side. You have to lead your shots... so say at 70 ping you have to keep your crosshairs about one inch on screen ahead of your target... so with hitscan weapons high ping sux... but it is at least accurate. Rail is quite doable.. but lg/mg isn't very good.

Instaunlagged is pure client side i believe. and is playable at extremely high pings (over 200 lol)

cpma netcode is the best which is weird because Arqon (cpm code guru fag guy ) worked on QL.. but it's pretty onbvious that the two differ quite a bit. Playing overseas in cpma is possible and not that bad... that's why there's been cpm nations cups for years. but QL is pretty much unplayable above 80 ping.

I never played q3 on pro hosted servers. they were always instances of q3 run in the back round on someones home pc, or a spare dedicated server pc on the same connection. But it was always smooth....and still is. i do play with my old clanmates from time to time. The only person i can ever remember playing against that was warpy was a guy from north toronto who was on dial up lol... and he also had 150-200 ping... although he would lag out and be disconnected if anyone used plasma for some reason.

I always played with 70-150 ping on mid west to west coast servers and also euro servers... and never experienced the problems that i do at 30 ping in ql. I didn't experience any of this either during closed/open beta.

I'm guessing there isn't enough money to fix the real problems. It's probably cheaper to implement something like race or new maps than to overhaul the code..... So that's my 2 cents lol

I'd fix it for ID for pretty much free.....

Yeah. OSP is fuckin' unplayable @ 50 ping.

dat guy knows the truth

why dont u calm down pingsaw

welcome into my zoom

it's socrates.

STAcY_=socrates

could always feel the passion for the game when i played socrates....he would control everything, id hit most things and run away from everything, but he laugh and ask for a rematch.

Thought you hit a tree and died....hows Chaz doing these days?

i had to use the name bono instead of boner since it was taken. Who the fuck is chaz.... cheers lesbo

chaz bono... dude looks like a lady

BAD NEWS: stacy isn't attending qcon :(

Or is he? Maybe another nickname? ;))

Let's hope this is the last thread in regards to this.

Random Funny...

You said it was gonna be funny, I think it was scary. Is that a show about retarded people? ...

Yea, well, I just don't understand if she is serious or she's just faking that.

That's bothering me...

Because she looks pretty crazy anyway!

that's the kind of chick that thinks suckin' dick is a chore.
Worthless. She might like anal though.
Is it worth the compromise?

nope

For me it's a real dilemma. Sometime I like bj's, other times I want the pooper.
Sometimes I like huge titties, other times I want to watch a black chick swallow a vodka bottle tween her butt cheeks... To be a sexual deviant... it's a curse.

omg...I..umm have a plus good sir.

who cares? If it is who some have said it is then they shouldn't be allowed to fake nick in tournaments (with prize money ont he line). In fact in many tournaments I heard that you can get disqualified if you fake nick. I don't see why socrates should be a special case just because he hasn't entered a tournament in years.

Dizz I think you replied to wrong post (I was empathizing with Gobotz's freakiness) -- but agreed -- prize money=official matches=real accountability.

coincidence!... maybe

half life 3?

The alphabet doesn't have an underscore

Myth Busted.

Who said it was part of the alphabet? It is still a character of text. l2read.

A character of the text which was unaccounted for, and cannot be accounted for, by the methods being used (ie. the position of letters within the alphabet). If we wish to unearth the secrets of this individual (and by extension society, and by extension the world, and thus the universe) we must be vigilant in our search for truth. We cannot, nay, must not, compromise our quest for knowledge. We cannot, I say, let that underscore underscore our mission. For the sake of humanity - nay, the United States of America - we must continue our search.

The only place where the underscore is mentioned in any way shape or form is the number of characters in the name stacy_. Which has nothing to do with the alphabet. The method being used is for the word socrates, I didn't see where the position of each letter was being used for the word stacy_. Sounds like someone's in a bad mood cause they spilt their bag of milk. :)

"I say, let that underscore underscore our mission"

made my day

It's obvious, with the amount of girls playing quakelive, that the probability of "stacy" being taken as nickname is very high. Therefore a underscore symbol was added without any extra meaning.

underscore represents the peanus

I knew it, it's a hooker with a penis.

tranny tricked!

tool is too deep for me, I can't even my second eye and you expect me to my third eye?

I loled

High probability it is Socrates. If memory serves me correct he was at Qcon 2011.

its cl0ck.

because ddk said so?

Stacy > Clock anyway

We know socrates is pronounced "so-crates" and we know he's a programmer. Is this our socrates?

Ahah. Just came across this by chance while searching how to draw in a window on a lower level than a library like, say, SDL. sponge directed me towards bitblt afterwards.

Spread them ass cheeks sweetheart!
