Has anyone heard of the Telenor strategy?

from Sins Forums

A few days ago while I was playing Sins MP, I came across mentions of a legendary player called Telenor. According to the current top players, he is considered the greatest player to ever grace the game. His micro was impeccable, his macro immaculate. Much of his success, however, was due to his usage of a highly successful strategy that is now named after him, the "Telenor Strategy". Although he was not the inventor (that honor goes to NewDealLiberal), Telenor was the first person to popularize it. However,  owing to the elitist reputation of the top players, and their general reluctance to share their tactics (especially after one of their own leaked the previously secret flak spam strat), I have been unable to gather any information on the specifics of the Telenor. Does anyone have any knowledge on this issue? It would greatly benefit the overall community if the masses knew the most successful strategy in the game.

Yeah, I know the Telenor strategy. I've witnessed it before.

It involves monkeys and whales.

Spam corvettes and flak simultaneously. Vettes take out titans, flak takes out everything else. Basically flak spam on roids.

Very brash of you to even bring his name back up, but Telenor was a pseudonym used by a rogue dev prior to his ousting.  NewDealLiberal was actually his registered name while he was employed, but when he brought the exploit into the wild, he was banned, and all of his posts were culled and any mention of him in the forums is usually followed by a swift deletion of the thread. 

This post won't last long, so I don't mind confirming some of what you already know. 

Telenor was a deep cover character he subsequently created to grief the multiplayer and dev community.  His "Telenor's" strat as you put it, or the fast start Ceilo - Kodiak "exploit" as it was also known, involved accelerated build times of Ceilo crusiers using Designate Target to accompany a Kodiak rush with 40% damage bonus.  This combination proved unstoppable but it was only possible with early and sustained feed. 

The big problem with this was the number of people who perpetrated this strat, and it began to create a sloppy mess with all the copy cats who couldn't really perfect it, especially when they would try it without the required volume of feed.

This is the best example of the technique I have seen recorded. 

Please try to keep it quite and don't spread it too much as it might ruin the already unstable balance of multiplayer...

Why would you be so flippant with such obvious trolling attempts?  Everyone knows the real intent of your efforts:

I think his brother's name was Corbomite and he also invented some kind of maneuver.
