Bravos Meet the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" ...

WoWzA!!!!

Looked like fun-action packed excitement!!

I LOVE the screenie of everyone dancing on the carcass, lmao!!!! :laugh:
 
Just to say, my part was a little over-played there... thanks again to AkiranBlade for the tactics, and very much keeping it together. Left to just me, we wouldn't have even FOUND a spider, let alone shoot half a dozen of 'em.

Love the pics! Still ear-to-ear smilin' about it.... can anybody remember how many people there were? Or how much ammo was burned? Over twenty people, and over fifty thousand ammo methinks.... :sniper:


P.S.... I was only shirtless cause I had to sell my shirt for ammo just before... I was turning up flat broke for my own hunt! (LIKED that shirt, too!)

Love your stories MS9, another goodie :D +rep
 
Yihaaa!! :laugh:

It was a blast... Economy wise It was not. But great entertainment.

The column thingy worked perfectly... Gratz on the idea again.

My "nemesis shoes" and shogun gloves were not the right choice for protection, but they give decent protection for araneatrox poop, wich seems to be everywhere around that place... :silly2:

*this is waaaay too easy!!!*

*clears throat*

:laugh: SHOULDA` SOLD YER PANTS! I DID.......IRL!!!! :laugh:
 
But you never wear pants... :rolleyes:
 
It was certainly good fun, if a little chaotic :laugh:

Nice pictures MS9! I'm just throwing together a medley of video clips from the hunt. For some odd reason a few dont appear to have saved, so it might not be as good as it could have been :(
 
that is just freaking awesome, now i kick myself in the rear for longu hunting all night instead of joining up with yall, blame akoz, lol
 
The video's uploading atm. I wanted a soundtrack, but have no useable files. It's essentially crap - because I have not got a lot of time today lol. Some of the titles are out of sync with where they should be - but this is not my fault :( They were in the correct location when I made the video, but the erroneous ones have moved out of where they should be by a second or two...

Still, craptacular or not - you get the idea :laugh:

It'll be about 29mb btw
 
HA!!! AMAZING VID! When's general release on DVD? It brought a tear to my eye! Brilliantly Told by MS9 and Miller, Top Drawer! Glad I was there for the experience, although i did spend a lot of it on my ass! Can't wait for the next one! (I especially like the 1 pec loot, Ha)
 
you would have loved the 0 ped loots we got then :D


thanks MS9 for the pic and the story and to Hurrikane and AkiranBlade for organistion



much fun :)
 
i may be available for next hunt, all depends on the $$... if im still where i am now, forget it... but if i grab some cash, im in!
 
sounds like you had a great time :D

thanks for taking the time to tell the story and take the pics :)

the carcass pic is a classic :)
 
woot nice story =) looks like everyone had fun. no globals =0?

edited the smiley... the =0 turned into :eek:
 
Really nice idea there, and would have loved to be in. Next month I hope.
And thx for the excellent movie, I stored it to my treasure chest.

I explain here my strategy for a small team, let's say 4 players. When
running spiders in, it is enough to have 180m..200m in between
the guys, and whole the queue can run back when spiders is moving.
One can yell "inc" when the shot succeeds and others can yell "moving!"
so the whole queue keeps the relative distances.

All the guys are in, they can use decoys to cover more distance.

When spider is near the outpost, it is time to split up to two teams.
Some run to the left "feeding spot", others to the right one. The next
guy in turn waits behind a considerable distance (100m). Here it would
be nice to have 2 more hunters, to keep the spider moving.

When a lot of players, I would split it to several teams, one for drawing
spiders in, two teams for the endwork and maybe a reserve, which
keeps the other mobs away.

Parts of this strategy have been tested in Hunters Extreme, and
later the whole thing with my friends. It is not for making peds, it is
for fun.

(And I begin to realise what all the cave paintings are for. They
have had online games back then! And they needed a strategy!
And now it is time to do it all over again I guess ... )

Great Post Kapok ... thx for your wisdom and experience in this type of hunt. Hunters-Extreme (my ex-society) is a great group to hunt with, and some of us still get together for "fun" when we can connect.

And speaking of "fun" ... you're right ... this type of hunt isn't really about the loot or PEDs ... it's all about having a great time and laughing hard enough to get a good ab workout. I LUV these events!!
 
W00T

I totally missed this thread, how did that happen :O

Anyhow :)

Thanks very much for the story MindStar, excellent work as usual :)

Just downloading the Vid now :)

Kapok, the second pic I explained when we started the hunt down at the outpost, about the 'tennis court' movement. :)

Hey JF ... thx a bunch for your comments, and ... Ooo, Ooo, Ooo ... LUV the smiley sign you made there, that's really CUTE, and very SPECIAL.

Now if only we could get a smiley sign that said "MS9 Picture StoryTeller" then THAT would be cool.

I'm also still looking for MA to give me a "purple whip" but I think Marco might be too afraid I'd use it on him. :eek:

Thx for the +rep too Hon, much appreciated. ;)

lol was wondering if you'd pick up on that, guess you did lmao
 
Love the stories. Keep them coming.
 
Can I just say as this thread has been dug up from the past (and it's one of my favourites)..... that Miller's Video on the Second Page is the finest bit of film ever made on Calypso? The first ever FoF.... brought a tear to my eye... forgot we had Ubers with us!

Hey there my friend ... I have to say that this first FoF was just THE most fun ever ... even though my purple ass was splattered all over the place a multiple of times. What a great adventure it was for sure. I only wish I had been available for the other FoF missions. One of these days I'll join you again because I think these are awesome.

With regard to bringing this thread up out of the past ... I now have my own subforum like you do so that I can bring all of my picture storlines together in one place. I have so many of them and it will take a while to move/copy them over and separate the storyline from the replies with the new system we have for this area.

That's how the storyline was revived if you will ... in order to separate the storyline from the replies in the new area and set up a Discussion thread for each, I had to create a "new" thread for the storyline which gave it a more current date ... therefore making the storyline date and reply dates not be in sync with each other. Going forward with new pic storylines this won't be an issue.

In the meantime ... perhaps those who haven't seen the pic storylines I've done will now have an opportunity to enjoy them. I plan on copying over the ones from Reality Port as well so there's more to enjoy.

You're doing a fine job with your featured stories as well, so keep it up. I look forward to joining one of your adventures again for yet another FoF pic storyline. :D
