Yes, I light a red candle at dawn everyday before I play, perform some BZFlag mantras, and use carnauba wax on my mouse. Wax on, wax off, wax on, wax off. This prepares me to use the holy guided missile flag.

I log in.

I choose a good server.

Then I get completely naked, coat my body in chicken fat, and sing Abba's "Fernando" every time I hunt a camper.

...hehehe, of course not. :P

tunes and suds

Post by learner »

I gotta have my music to really get into a good groove. Without the tunes, it can get a little too scientific and cold while I play.

If it's a weekend, or just any really relaxing day for that matter, I'll usually make sure I have a Corona handy too.. :coffee:

Those happen to be the same requisites for programming also... :thumb:

I usually throw a Metallica CD in my surround sound system and make sure I have a glass and a cold 2-liter of wild cherry pepsi (cherry coke in an emergency) handy.

Oh, Ski: I also do the little leaning thing. Especially when I'm jumping onto a building and it doesn't look like I'm gonna make it, I'll try and lean forward to catch the edge. :wink:

Rituals?? Well.. hmm... I usually listen to MxPx while I play (check out http://www.mxpx.com), but I wouldn't call that a ritual. :)

I'm with ski and [dmp] : Body-english gets used a lot, even though it doesn't seem to help. :)

In FFA sometimes I'll jump when a nasty surprise happens.

Used to be my ritual was to cuss long, loud, and vociferously. A couple months of dying and that little habit has died away - I still have not-so-good days at BZ, but not bad-days like I did before I played much.

Maybe a constant fast tapping of the right-button of the mouse while waiting to come back to life counts?

Hmm, got a timed-out error when submitting and thought neither post went through, but both showed up (am editing this one as it was a duplicate). Sorry for the duals...

My only ritual is to have my MP3s playing. And I make sure to use shuffle mode. Now if there were only a way to advance the player to the next song when a song is no good for playing bzflag. If the mix is good, I usually play better ;)

Nothing.....although i do have a tendancy to try and peak around the corner of my computer screen........there are days i swear it works......and i do have a habit of switched radar screen sizes.....buddy of mine complains when i play because the radar keeps bouncing around.........

no rituals though.......well except the coating of my keyboard with the blood of unsuspecting spammers........or was that SCO executives......
