I prefer to call out, "The imperial knaves are beseiging the point betwixt the primary and tertiary nodes!" It's so much faster to say and easier to understand.

When ever I see a dead fly on my window sill, one that wasn't there the day before, I always wonder how it died.. Did he have a stroke? Or maybe had a little fly heart-attack? Then I think that maybe he's just pretending to be dead so I won't swat him.... So I swat him! *G.C.

You're right... I should have added "I am in need of aide! Godspeed my brothers!"

I guess east and west are difficult for people that didn't get past the third grade. I guess those same people would say that Canada is up and Mexico is down if they live in the USA.

I will never understand how anyone who has been playing games for more than 5 minutes still uses subjective terms like right and left.

EDIT: Even better are "over here" and "other door"

This could all be fixed by them putting a West and East on the map and even the mini map. Then I think people would use that method more often. They should also label the speeders in the ship as east or west (the side speeders) when you mouse over them so you know which base you are going to.

The maps never get flipped in the WZs hence the confusion. What gets flipped is your orientation on the map.


When you give someone directions to your place and tell them "from southbound I95 take a left off the off ramp" you want them to head east when you tell them to "take the next right" you now mean head south. Left and Right are relative to the orientation of the person and have ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with the map. I don't know why people keep insisting that they do, or that it is common for west to equal left because it doesn't by any sane person.

Left/Right are always relative of spawn
East/West are always map directions

Use the terms appropriately.

"left of spawn" or "right of spawn". Problem solved, discussion over.

Or again just use East/West which are universally understood and self-explanatory for anyone that is out of elementary school. I just don't understand why people are still arguing against this point.

I think all the people who think "Left & Right" are ok calls, seriously are too dumb to figure out east and west.

They say "Left & Right" is easier, but actually they are 100% incapable of figuring out where "East & West" are.

So just so I know, if Im spawing on D, and a moron is spamming "RIGHT DOOR" should i run right, or left? Oh wait, that's right. It depends on the moron, and what direction they are facing.

East & West please, and ty.
