I casually found this library propaganda poster (Chicago, between 1936 and 1940) in the Library of Congress collections, and couldn’t refrain from a personal reinterpretation …

What’s your game strategy when it comes to buy weapons? Are you a stingy investor –one who tries to spare money for future investments– or are you a spendthrift?

I came to this conclusion: whenever you get enough dollars to buy a better weapon, buy it immediately. This way you have more chances to survive and kill opponents. If you are lucky enough, you’ll catch the Big Wave. You will enter the virtuous circle of killing and buying, killing and buying… You’ll feel the pleasant sensation of being surfing atop of others.

Some exceptions to this strategy:
– you have low HP. So, better to wait before buying an expensive weapon
– you see, close to you, an abandoned Colt, or a Sawed-Off, or a Schofield, or …
– you want to spare money for a Gatling
– you are a dyna-player

What do you think?

We have published a Smokin’ Guns FAQ page (under the menu voice “Smokin’ Guns”), that we hope could help newcomers.

The FAQ are partially based on the Smokin’ Guns Manual and on BalleBude pages.

As promised, here it is. As always, based on BallerBude stats.

Jippi reaches stratospheric heights. My curve is almost flat … this probably means that I have no hope to improve my ratio if I don’t dramatically change strategy, ping, monitor, or whatelse.

Howdy,

just a question I had lately. Since we all play in aprox. the same timezone, we are ‘famous’ in our normal play-hours (let’s say between 9AM and 12PM, OK.) I’ve never been playing on BB any later or any earlier. This means that at ‘night’ , when no LAME member is online, BB changes with…maybe Brazilian, American, Japanese, Chinees, Russian, etc…players or even clans! I don’t have a clue about such a clan, and probably these ‘aliens’ don’t have a clue about our existence… since we’ve neve seen each other! Only one way to check it…Anyone has been playing very late/very early once on BB? Are there different clans ruling BB at night! And tell me, do they have two arms and two guns!? Are they really human? what does there BB graphs tells us? (not much perhaps, since my graph was pretty alien/bot too :D)

Cheers
