Proxee.net is now offering a 50% discount for one month if you use the promo code "TWINK". I highly recommend that every player in the Twink Cup take advantage of this offer.

Note: only works if you order monthly plan, 50% off first payment, no expiration date.

The question is why are all you third world fucks using Skype anyways?

I quit WoW back in WoTLK. Skype was popular then.

I've mained almost every other type of competitive pvp game out there during my hiatus, and not once was the main communication VOIP Skype, it's proven TeamSpeak, Ventrillo and Curse Voice cause less lag, use less resources, and they don't give away info right away so you can be ddos'd.

Not sure why I feel like I'm stepping into a time machine since returning.

Not all third worlders have third world computers.

I'm also a fan of vent/teamspeak (I have only used Skype for professional reasons and kinda prefer to keep it that way). Great guide though!

Bump. I think this weekend emphasized how important protecting yourself is.

An alternative is to use your mobile phone for skype (if you don't have an unlimited data plan this could rack up data usage especially if ddos'd so don't do this otherwise)

Why the awareness, you planning on "lobbing" more people off in the near future?

While I agree, these sick little inbreds that decide this is fun need to be exlcuded from this tournament. I've already sent a message to Myrm about this, and I feel anyone else who feels the same as me should as well.

How to avoid getting ddosed, don't use Skype.

 

[Pooh]

Stupid question but can someone summarize what ddos means?
