this argument will never end, so can i get a straight answer. i know it says in the rules that you may bring the ball to safety to kill sitting ducks. people bring the ball into safety and just sit there and wait for people to come for the ball and then they kill them. ive seen it for a long time, and i am quite sure i remember even mike or nurples telling me it was allowed (may have been both even). i like to bring the ball to the south when it seems no one is balling on the other team. as a test to see if they actually will try and get it. my question is - is it only legal to kill ducks in safety, or is it legal to bring the ball there period? either allowed …

Consider it back luck, but I have had enough. I fight hard and wear most players down getting flags in North, only to be freq switched by the bot. Then today I buy bounce TWICE and get switched by the bot (thus losing my bounce). This is getting EXTREMELY ANNOYING. Why not consider a few fixes to the bot so it doesn't randomly switch people. 1.) Like DSB, switch the player(s) that last died after the bot has notified public that it will do so. 2.) Randomly switch the player(s) with 40 btw or lower. This won't (usually) switch the player guarding base which happened to me twice today. 3.) Have the bot count which players have been switched (by the bot) in a gi…

Well multistrike left -Pirates- to moi, (BlitzkriegStrike) and all of the squaddies were inactive...so...I started fresh. Yesterday I started recruiting and we now have four members. I want to pull us from SBL this season and start anew next season...how can I take my squad of the schedule? Multistrike is still "captain" according to league.nu and I can't contact him. Suggestions? Thanks Captain Blitzkrieg

Starting Monday, I will begin the standardization of all subarenas that use 'alleged' public settings. As we all know, many of the arenas are quite different. The 'standard' set will become the Rumble settings, ?go elim and the like will be updated (keeping in mind minor changes, such as no greens in elim). Thus, your opinions are requested before I begin the process.

I know I know, we don't like it when "n00b" is thrown around in game, but sometimes...just sometimes...someone hits that nerve, and you just can't resist. What makes you shout out "n00b" in game?

Ok, now I know I've ranted about this topic before, but I think it needs mentioning again. I am seeing people in this zone play with pings in excess of 400ms. Their bullets are coming out 4 inches from their ship. I don't think it is fair to the public that people be allowed to play with that amount of lag. It just takes away from the fun of it. What do you think?

I was just wondering, how come MiketheNose has power over this forum and the zone when he does nothing with it, or not that i noticed O.o' I mean yeah he owns it... but thats it?! lol Just being a owner of the zone doesnt really give the guy power if he does nothing towards the zone? Especially on the forum where he does even less O.o' Just thought i'll throw it around you guys. Maybe i'm missing what he actually does to the zone now a days?

Now this wont be the opposite of my last topic...just a little different. By worst, I mean, complains the most, does the worst in games...just an all around n00b in the most negative sense of the word.

Under an alternative name, I was witness to a very funny n00b today. He, obviously only being in this zone for a very short time, was claiming that Knightfire was an unknown loser. How funny is that....anyone...plz...

Alright. Today I bought bounce twice. The first time, I had gotten it about 3 kills before, and the server had it's little disconnect there that booted the whole pub. Needless to say, I lose my 250,000 point bounce Second time: I got evened after only getting ONE kill with it! I now have NO points. I want my two rounds of bounce that were stolen when they were so new. It takes a lot of work for points and to get bounce, but to lose it twice when getting 3 kills or less? You shouldn't be evened if you have bought anything. :taz:
