Beached Whale

I've played Global Agenda for 3 months more than you. I'm a hundred times worse - but that's not what matters. The Beached Whales are members of Global Agenda's community who's ego has inflated so disproportionately to their actual skill due to the lack of competition presented in 'end-game' in earlier times, that they are unable to sustain it on their own in the presence of new players.

The reason for 'old' (1 year lol) players being so dependant on their time of arrival as a reflection of skill is because they are shit. This could be seen as the Global Agenda equivelant of 'i played quake' or 'i played tribes' used to attempt to cover up a lack of experience - since the majority of old Global Agenda players have only ever played Global Agenda 'seriously' - since the populace is 90% Typical Merc Player, this ends up giving them the false impression that they actually have skill.

Facts about old Global Agenda:

Device points were shit, quality is the natural evolution and presents a more recognizable format for the larger playerbase

Season 1/Season 2 were less competitive than season 9

Hi-Rez never cared

Queueing with 4 players was a completely Fair and Balanced™ way of playing Merc

Regular jetpack > all

Unless you mention the word juke in 60% of your forum posts - you aren't old school
