2 ns term questions

supersonicdarky

I've seen people say it but I don't know what it is; <i>paper onos</i> and <i>walking fade</i>.

What do the terms mean?

walking fade, I would guess that would mean a person who's bad at playing fade, because he doesn't blink around?

paper onos - maybe non-upgraded onos, fragile as paper?

just guessing. maybe someone else can answer definitively, but you might have more luck in the NS general forum - most of us people who hang out in off-topic haven't actually played NS in like 4 years ;P

they both refer to crappy players <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

I haven't heard anyone say paper onos, but paper skulk refers to the old skulks that were hard to hit because of their extremely illogical hitboxes, yet very weak and easy to kill if you knew where to aim.

paper onos is saying the onos dies too easily. (kind of true- at 1-hive the most expensive lifeform/upgrade in the game is reduced to snatch-and-run tactics)

walker fade is a fade who doesn't use blink enough.

Are you talkin' 'bout NS in my OT?

Didn't some guy make a paper-craft onos at some point? I think that is what he's referring to, and nothing can change my mind.

Yep, there were alien papercuts.

But paper onos is a reference to the famous paper tiger.

It might look dangerous, but it is rather puny upon close inspection.

I'm pretty sure a paper-onos is an Onos with no upgrades, specifically no defense upgrades.


Walker fades are fades without blink, not necessarily those who choose not to blink. Usually refering to a Fade left over after a marine rush that results in the aliens not having enough hives to enable blink.

What he said

Crispy

Walking Fade: Fade who has to resort to walking (Hive 0)
Walker Fade: Fade who doesn't use blink enough (who usually gets outrun by Marines who know who to move/jump away quickly, sticks around too long, and dies).

Paper Onos: non-DC Onos (usually Hive 1, occasionally Hive 2)

NS != Off-Topic

Does not compute!

Anyway what Crispy said, also now I have to find them damn thread with the cutout NS models in it :/

Underwhelmed

Paper fade: Excuse used by bad fades with poor judgment.
