FullMetalCircle

[FullMetalCircle]

Hi all, I guess a lot of you already know me but I never introduced myself and after all the hours spent on agma (and agf before) eating all of you repeatedly I think it is time to give back to the community. Also it's very boring in the office rn so typing all this make me look productive  .  

My name is FullMetalCircle, I'm french Canadian.... so if no good english me sorry . I think I'm your typical Canadian guy as I play hockey, drink beer, wear checked shirt, say sorry too often and cut wood from time to time XD. FullMetalCircle is the first name I choose when I first played agario back in 2015 and it's a reference to the movie Full metal jacket -not the cartoon thing- . 

I played agario for a long time since the very beginning when I saw a thread about it on /v/ (you had to put the server ip to get in). It was a wonderful game where simple controls and mechanics could lead to deep strategic battle with a very high skills ceiling...but  as the time goes and people were getting better, others were falling behind in skills and a new mechanic emerged, almost organically... Teaming... With that the little guys who could never grow big was able to match the better players and secure a top 10 easily... it was infuriating. All around agario a battle begin : soloists against teamers, W=TEAM, FEED2TEAM, TEAMS=NOOBS, SOLO ONLY... it was awful. The once strategic battles was replaced little by little by being killed out of nowhere by a feeder, splitrunning teammates who would go from one side to the other in 4 sec, crossteaming in team mode... the teamers were winning... Zeach was still the owner and added anti-teaming mechanic but it was too late. By this time the number of players had dropped, new players could not learn without being killed by griefers a.k.a. teamers and alot of solo players had quit out of anger or joined the dark side to continue to be in top 10... . Some of us never surrender tho and developed new tricks to kill them ,walking thru virus, bait and wait, rolling on your cell, popsplit... you name it. At the end I was pretty good at killing teams and still enjoyed climbing the leaderboard but by this time Zeach had sold the game to miniclip and the new owner just wanted to cash-in, they made an update one day capping the frame at 30 fps and the game stopped to be fluid, so I quit but still wanted to eat people (it's illegal irl so better do it on a computer ). I went to google and typed agario forums to see if people were mad too about the fps drop and to see if there was any good copy of the game. First link bring me here and when I tried agf I was amazed, not only teaming was frowned upon (not much today...) but there was a solid numbers of skilled soloist who would battle and tease each other every night, it was like coming home, a home i never knew existed. I'm still not sure about the p2w aspect of agma (cosmetics purchase only have been shown to be the best way to get money without affecting players in many games... 2-3$ for a custom skin or skins-crate where you have like .5% chance to get a super dank flashing skin would have gave you more money Sora! ) but climbing the ladder is easy enough to not punch my screen when I get E and S and E and S and E and killed by a yellow named cell wearing a santa hat shooting W like he got an AK..

So yeah I pretty much wrote all my journey as a cells eater... As I said it is really boring at work today.
Have a great day and remember: When you team a children somewhere get sick, make a better world, don't team.

~rest of awesome message snipped~

Hail, and well-met, fellow Canuck!

YES!!! You know the situation perfectly, and described it equally well! Your Intro made me laugh more than once!

First, congrats on being extra-productive today!

Second, yes, eating people irl has been frowned upon! (lol)

And third, danged right, teamers suck!

I have made it into a game, calling out how these powerup-popper teaming miscreants can't play worth a cr@p, not that it does much good. But when you kill their team, and then laugh at them mercilessly in the in-game chat, I find that helps. (lol)

I do recall seeing you around, in the past in the game, and it's nice to know you're still out there, teaching skill by example!



It's great that you've come out of the shadows and introduced yourself!

And I'm hoping that further requirements of productivity will be needed there, that will give me more of a metal-filled message diet here!

(Your message was so wonderful and long, I snipped almost the whole thing, because I tend to be just as bad!)

[JellyBelly]

Welcome back (I think? Lol.)! Lol, good job, you’ve figured out a way to be Productive at work without doing much work! Lol. Yes, I troll not team...but the side affect of ppl eating you after is VERY common...lol.

Teamers are just random noobs that have only been playing the game for 2 hours that wanna team with big boi pros that are level 500.
I,even tho i am a teamer,dont really like teaming.If the solo vs team fight is going on now too,i would be on solo team,even tho i sometimes team.
Im a pretty toxic guy sometimes,so not a lot of people would like to team with me.
But in solo,thats another talk.
Teamers have been invading solo servers for years now,and noone has found a cure to teamers in solo.
Even tho parties are off in battle royale servers and even the AGF server,any teamer could find a way to team with other people.
So yeah,ill maybe make a video talking about this,but now,thats enough of what i got.
Just kidding,i know more,but im not gona say it right now,maybe later and/or in the video(if i make one)

     Now that is an introduction! I'm glad to hear such feedback about anti teaming. I have been playing agario ffa since it's inception and you give an accurate description of the history of this once great game. I could deal with the slow teamers a lot better if there wasn't so much lag. Today the lag was so bad I could cause lag myself just by moving erratically my cell. I named myself Lagsphere and demonstrated my " powers" to other players, I think some of them were creeped out by it because some of them ( same size or bigger) were trying to get away from me. Welcome to the forum. Enjoyed your article thoroughly.
