Spikeballs of death By Wei-Zhi-Hui The Spikeballs is one of the most powerful says exactly this when asked if he uses weapons in Liero, but not only that. It is Spikeballs. “– They are too over powered” also one of the more versitile ones. It can be use for close combat, as well as long But the objective is to win, and it is a distance. It can be used in direct attacks as standard weapon included in the game by well as defensive cover when escaping a Joosa, so are there any reasons to not use terrifying foe. Precision- as well as carpet Spikeballs except moral reasons? bombing are possible and for the one choosing this terrifying weapon, victory is Jerrec explains: “– I am a chaotic player, most likely one step closer. and my own Spikeballs are a threat for myself too.” The most terrifying thing too see for a Liero But what about organized and directed player is probably meeting his opponent usage of the Spikeballs. Liero World Cham- face to face in mid air, while the opponent pion NoMind is an avid Spikeball user. releases a swarm of Spikeballs which inevtably will create carnage. There is no “– It depends on the situation. Normally I escape, and most likely no life to speak target them and try to use as precisely as of after the impact. Other weapons have possible, but then again there are situations similar devastating power, like the Gauss like the one in the game against EdgeCrush- Gun. However, er, where the situation was critical. with the Gauss The most terrify- In such cases it’s good to throw Gun that little ing thing too see them flying high and fast, so they moment in time work kind of like Larpa.

So concluding, it takes a bit of planning But just because its all-round capabilities to use Spikeballs, as they cannot simply to both passive and active damage, as well be distributed randomly in the battlefield. as having a relatively low reload time Throw them directly at the enemy, and compared to its deadly force, some tend to run and hide, or spread a carpet to create view Spikeballs as an overpowered weapon. random hits and distraction.

But who the hell is he? We pick up the keyboard and ask him: Where are you from? – England How old are you? – 16 and 5-ish months How did you find Liero and #liero? – I was a member at GU for a while, then LieroX came along as a hosted project. Strider PMed me after ages of LieroX death, to try Gusanos (which I didn’t give a chance before because I was too LieroX- proud), and I came to #liero to be with the Gusanos people. Did you ever play Liero 1.33? – No, I never really got round to it. You seem to make a lot of stuff together with TTFTCUTS. Is this an old trend or did it begin when you both came to #liero? – Well back in the LieroX days I used to ask him n00b questions baout modding (which I still do now :D), me, him, Gliptic and Strider played LX often I think, and built up a friendship, I guess we only started making stuff together in Gusanos, and so #liero. Although, most of our stuff is individual with assistance from each other I’d say If you could choose any person, throughout history, in the entire world, to join #liero, who would it be? – Well can I say Strider? He should come back to the community 5 SOCIAL POISON THE TERRIFYING INTERVIEW!!! By Wei-Zhi-Hui In and around 2001, the LieroNet forum was at its prime peak in terms of useful content and active users. It was at a time where Liero had no competition from clones and there was little else to talk about apart from Liero and potential Liero clones. This was when the dynamic duo began their reign of the LieroNet forum. Durandal, and Social Poison. For nearly two years, they were dominant personalities in the Liero community. However, this did not last forever. Just as the Liero clones began to gain hold of the Liero fans, both of them went away from the community, seemingly to never return. Social Poison Durandal went to the dreaded IRL, while Social Poison went to the Liero-similar of my old Liero friends had migrated there. game “Soldat” and its community. In In fact, as I recall... when I found LieroX 2005, Social Poison returned to the com- (I found that before Gusanos), I messaged munity with new energy and hopes, and Wei-Zhi-Hui excitedly, and he then told me after briefly testing LieroX he settled for I should take a better look at Gusanos, since Gusanos as his favourite Liero clone. that’s where “everyone had gone.” Was it an easy choise? Does it give you the same feelings as Liero – After fully looking into both, yes it was did many years ago? a very easy choice.
