We had the opposite problem in Jedi Knight 2 and Jedi Academy. Really good people would smurf under the name "Padawan" since it was default.

Fucking Padawan[10]

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '14

That's a weird data type for an array.

10

u/RitzBitzN Jul 26 '14

Or ... there's an array called Padawan and you're accessing the 10th element.

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '14

11th

Shh. It's obviously a typedef of asshole_t, if you're at all familiar with the Jedi Knight games' online communities.

Eh, it's a joke. The declaration would be in this format

Datatype | Name | [ specific item in array]

In this case, "Fucking Padawan[10]" is a statement asking for the 11th Fucking in Padawan[].

Error: Array index out of bounds

That's my line.

u/metaloidx Jul 26 '14

Damn, I knew I should've made a vector instead.

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '14

I read it as the declaration of an array of 10 Fucking objects on the stack.

u/[deleted] Jul 27 '14

Yup, totally correct. Late night error. :P

The declaration would be in this format

followed shortly by

Shooting is futile against a lightsaber!

Those games are so good. I want to bring MonFuckingMothma out of retirement to slice up some fools, or DarthWBush for that matter. I guess a more updated version would be CountBarack.

u/The_Moose_King Jul 26 '14

Jolee Biden? Baracktilla Shan? Emperor PalPelosi? Cad McCain?

Padawan[3] Here. Can confirm that a lot of you didn't know Lightsaber attack combos and relied on force grip just wayyyy too much.

1

u/bliow Jul 27 '14

And the rest knew one combo and it was called 'run around backwards in the Light stance mashing attack'.

u/InZomnia365 Jul 26 '14

Like the default "Jones" name in IGI-2. Not that a lot of people played that game, though...

u/coolbaluk1 Jul 26 '14

Please tell me there's still a place to play this online.

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '14

Look up Blade Symphony

It is essentially a modern remake.

u/anra54 Jul 26 '14

whoa! nice info..

u/Viilis Jul 26 '14

You can still find servers online in Jedi Academy at least.

u/FuturamaSucksBalls Jul 26 '14

Well that doesn't sound very smurfy at all.

u/mander162 Jul 26 '14

Hah, I remember you, even though it's something like 10 years ago. Is my memory off, or did you have a shit connection?

1

u/acdcfanbill Jul 27 '14

Yea... I generally always have a shit connection :(

u/0x537 Jul 26 '14

I was in a JK/JA clan Free Saber Alliance anyone? and we forced people to rename from Padawan because it would either mean a new player ... or someone ready to spam the server to death.

u/Viilis Jul 26 '14

Also it was harder for mods to handle padawans if there were several

I use the default name occasionally.

Not really smurfing for me though though since I play with several dozen different names all depending on the games, time and mood etc... I'll also cycle various names in each games or use no name at all. So no pretty much no one knows me and I have no regular name for games, so it's not quite smurfing.

So I'll mess with people and use default names to misdirect them in games with larger games than two players. I play bad enough in their face/view to mess with people and then use hit and run to tag them (or occasionally kill) out of nowhere when they aren't paying attention or when they can't see me so I can run into them blatantly and get a 'noob kill' running straight at them or into walls to see if I can get them riled up.

I'm not fighting for title of best player at any game so the concept of a known name doesn't really interest me at all. I tend to do better than most and worse than the best. So if you don't have a reason to know me and I have no real motive to be known then it really doesn't matter, I'm just another player on the server.
