The following is a series of four R.G.B. posts kindly forwarded to me by Smaug. I've taken the liberty of editing the posts, cutting out the usual R.G.B. nonsense that goes on. If you really want, you can download the original files by clicking here. But here we go, straight from the minds of Bolo's finest rapers!!

This first from Attack Salad himself:

i) Turn up music with heavy bass

ii) Think up things that rhyme with 'Jolo Sux'

iii) You really can take those crossed out bases without ammo

iv) It doesn't even matter if they're defended by a pill cause you're not going to shoot the base first, so the pill won't get angry

v) bases take time to refuel so you don't need to run back and forward over the same base in quick succession

vi) take a full load of ammo on each run. Run over their x'd bases, then shoot the ammo and take two more. Remember they'll stay x'd long enuf for you to get more ammo - don't worry about stealing them back right away, but don't leave them too long - just do a quick run over them when you go past on the way to take their next base.

vii) If you're base raping, you'll be in their area - vulture the pill they try to take to defend themselves.

Pins replies:

viii) know the map and know which bases are usable in the critical open stages. For instance of chew toy II the 8 corner bases are obviously the most important. But you can refuel from the 4 near the dbls with a block. IGNORE the 4 center bases.

ix) if your opponent has just filled up joust him and you are in his quad joust him and WIN! He's probably off to nuke your bases or do something nasty like that.

x) ignore pills and certainly don't hardline in the initial few minutes. Remember base raping is about armour, hardlining will cost you the game in wasted time and resources.

xi) KNOW where your opponent is - this is a general rule of thumb. Ya know where they are you know what they are doing and what to do to stop them. The one who looks farther ahead wins.

Jolo, ever the voice of caution, points out:

x) Know when to stop! You can't win a game usually just by raping back and forth. At some point, all the open bases (yours and theirs) are all semi-dead. This is when it gets interesting. Get pills as fast as you can (clean block takes, being aware of vultures since they're likely still on the rape path), team takes, etc. Then spike! Once you spike, keep the spikes alive. If you walk away the spike becomes a present. The key to base raping (from someone who admittedly isn't good at it) is to support your raping with spiking. Soon you get to the point where the other guys can't refuel, you begin to own more pills than they do, and your bases slowly regenerate... game won.

xi) A good defense against rape without raping back is to sit back and wait for them to come to you. You know on CT maps they're gonna try, so get ready and go jousting and win! Nail them with an ambush from the trees behind your bases! Sit on the far edge of your bases when jousting initially so you get a few shots into them first w/o taking hits, then kill them.

Trust Samhain to come up with something fancy:

xii) Another good tactic to use if the other guy runs out of ammo is to plant brix on the diagonals of the base. Stop on the base and wait to see what he does. If he runs away, wall it in (make sure you're not on the base when you wall it in). If he tries to push you off, plant a brick behind him and push against him. Eventually, the base will replenish and his tank'll be trapped. Then you can spell out silly names with blox on the map. Don't forget to hit --3 before he quits out. Make sure you type "Say Cheeze!" before doing this, as that's following proper etiquette.

And Sluggo has the last word:

xiii) Once you have run over the base, it really doesn't matter much if the other guy comes back and recaptures it. At this point he is left with an empty base and won't be able to refuel from it for a while. Also, since the base will take some time to regenerate its armor, you can just come back later and recapture it when you have enough armor and ammo to kill him off. Instead of using your remaining ammo dogfighting over a base you have already killed, you could use it to weaken another of his bases, so that you could come back after refuelling and kill two of his bases. Soon enough he will be starved for ammo and you will be able to taunt him and call him silly names.
