Why is SPOP so special?

MrDemise · August 2011

First off. I searched this. Did NOT find an answer.

Now, understand i'm not hatin on anybody, im not advocating any ribbon for other ZP characters, I just want a straight simple answer;

What made Z8 make a ribbon just for SPOP?

I'd just PM a MOD or a GM for a answer but I realized that'd be a waste of their time.

I only have a SPOP because I bought it when they released it 2 years ago, when everyone thought there was something "different" about it.

CP_trudat · August 2011

This is just my assumption, but my answer would have to be that it was, the first ever ZP character.

cuz i have no friends irl and i use her to make me feel good about myself

It looked skinny and taller than regular characters. The size of SPOP plays tricks on your opponents minds. (Psychological warfare). Effective against players who are new to the regular servers. ie. Sergeants who just got out of rookie server with KDR still intact.

Hitboxes are apparently still the same, never actually tested it myself, but im willing to take other people's word for it

first ever zp character and its a female, thats y.

Maybe because you get a ribbon when you get the SPOP Model.
Ribbon is called "AINT NO PARTY LIKE AN SPOP PARTY"

11th Ribbon from the top

Edit: I read the question wrong :P
Maybe they made a ribbon for spop just so they could make more money

So this deserves a ribbon?

White_Snow · August 2011

so people spend another 8 bucks on this game.

Kawaii_Neko · August 2011

first zp character and gm mentioned it once that it was a joke ribbon,
use search more carefully lol.

DeadLikeMe · August 2011

Because its funny as all hell to mow dudes down as a chick with a big gun and bunny ears.

0hh · August 2011

Because she's a female, and many male players in this game never see females.
Hello? Why the hell do you think STAR was made? For the actual female players?
*snort*

Surged · August 2011

Perhaps it's done because it was the first ZP character.

Sl0wpoke · August 2011

You can stare at its ass without it being weird.

bLu3e · August 2011

because they are sexy

This would be correct. IMO

I have seen the hitboxes and well you can test this out.. Find an SPOP character and well look at her feet when she's crouched. She doesn't touch the floor (best place to do this is when you're sniping long A at the steps and the SPOP is ahead of you).

That shows that the model is smaller than it's hitbox but the hitbox is still there.. Just an illusion.

Special?? Just a virtual fantasy for some of the CF hotshots...LOL

Because when we named it the SPOP which is short form for Special Operations there was a running joke around here about the similarities (in name and the fact that its female) to the group S-Club-7.

And thus the inside joke of the SPOP ribbon is revealed.

I knew Z8 was keeping small tidbits of unimportant data hidden! Now what is the Black List Seal's name?

S-Club-7?????

theHI · August 2011

Ribbons are constantly added, just because one was added for the SPOP doesn't mean that one won't be added for other character models. Take the SEAL for example, having it gives you 1 out of the 3 requirements for the Navy Seal Ribbon. As Saidin stated, it was a joke. Possibly other jokes will arise, and ribbons will be made for them.

Do you spit much while you're talking, besides that?

uDream · August 2011

Probably cause it was the first female + ZP char.

iPhoenixi · August 2011

I guess you got your answer from Saidin. But if I were to take a stab, I'd say that the SPOP is the first ZP character added, making it "special" in a way.

Google is your friend, mate.

It's a smaller target basically. Not allowed in WHOGL or whatever that league is called because although the hitboxes are the same, it's still a smaller visual target, and therefore less to aim at.

so, in theory, if she was hugging the side of a crate, where I would see the edge of another character, I would not see anything, though I could still shoot her?

Why is SPOP so special?
