That might clutter the screen too much. It might be a better idea advertising a command for the bot called !topstats which will give you a display of the top 3 in Flag Points, the Highest Jackpot, and even something cool like most time played (actual playing not speccing). That way, for people who don't care they dont have to see it, but for everybody who does they can just do !topstats whenever they'd like.

You could even take that father and have it tell you who is in the zone, and make a way to be able to chat to them through the website.

A hard maze would make for a fun event that just might attract other people if you advertise it well enough since its something i've never really seen advertised. You could even enhance a maze to include "cheese" where you have to first collect 5 items of cheese before getting to the end of the maze .. or something like that. !@#$%^&*, you could even probably find custom GFX and make some stupid mice-ship and get real cheese greens and make the map look like a real mouse maze by getting rid of the space background. If you want to use it as an event, you'd have to find a way to make the maze different every time though, because after the first time people will know how to get everything once again ...

That vote reset could be abused during an actual flag game though .. there would be no way to tell whether the flags have been hidden for a long time, or whether there is an actual flag game going for a long time. Here are some options: 1. If there are no players currently in the zone for over 15 minutes (including subarenas), the bot will move flags to random locations in the center area (not necessarily the center green). 2. !buy flagcoords ... this will let the bot tell you where the flags are (public announcement). Make it fairly cheap, but unavailable if there are 5+ players present, or something like that. I think option #2 makes the most sense. That way if you really are too lazy to find the flags that T-man hides you can use this and spend a little bit of your credits with it.

Well, I would keep this forum, since its somewhere where it can be exposed to more people.

Nice to finally see more people on the forums. It was initial just me and SOS talking to each other while I was at work, lol Remember that SOS?

If you want old designs of deva's past websites I can probably give them to you SOS, I'd have to find them first though

The door buy makes no sense since there are very little doors in the zone. The noclock one makes a lot of sense. I think it should be even strong, it removes clocking from all ships within your radar distance or something.

Thats a good idea Hakaku ... you should seriously consider this one SOS ... it would make sense to give new players starting credits ... even a very high amount, so they can join right in the action.

Use them in Devastation I say

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacccccccooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnn

I like it crispy myself ... or a little in the middle ... but not too mushy.

mmmmm bacon ... i'm having a wendy's bacon classic combo tonight with biggie fries ... mmmmmmm

You could always move to Canada SOS

Heya, this is mainly for SOS ... but input would be nice. As most people do know I am no longer around the zone, however, I have been keeping an eye on the population, and i've noticed the large amounts of players we get after 12am Midnight EDT Now, its great to see a population at that time, but now is the time to get the zone's population going during the 6-10pm EDT because then you'll create a bridge between this time and the current time players are in, and i'll guarentee at least a 50% increase in population. What is needed is a major staff member for this time zone, who can run events (since SOS and tm_master will both not be around at this time to run events). That way, you can do a duel-event night where there is one event at 7pm, and the next event at 11pm, that way you'll attract players to both, typically keeping your 12am crowd, but creating an additional 7pm crowd. You can even have a special reward for players who play during both events for a certain time (extra credits maybe?) Along with a major staff member, I would suggest several mods. A good way to start a pop is to have some staff playing in there and greeting players and such and getting flag games going, as this is what tm_master does. The sooner the better .. the population is on an up-swing, you want to catch it while you still can.

Okay, Close the topic then

Just try them out for the next event that you do, or for like a few days as a test and get player responses and such on that new item. It may turn out to be a really good idea after its been tried out.

Yeah, i'm living still. Super Weapons suck? Just think of the uper-thor as a burst when you aren't around I like the idea ... maybe make flag carriers immune to the blast ... then you can make it affordable enough ... it would be a good way to get rid of a bomb line or something like that, cause I am sure everybody knows how much it sucks to try to get through a bomb line for 2 or 3 hours !@#$%^&*, make those uper thors greenable just as rare as it gets .. then at least people without a lot of points can still get em.

Thors are useless in the zone ... so is prox ... unless SOS can somehow manipulate the settings through the bot such that a thor owns anything it touches (which would be really cool). Glad to see that the zone is still kicking (even though only very late a night).

Only I have the map and settings, and I dont know where they are

You wont see me around much anymore. I took a leave of absense to finish exams and get ready for work (I am typing this up from work). I recently got a new computer ... AMD Athelon 4400 duel core 64-bit, ASUS SLI32-something fanless motherboard, 250gig SATA Seagate HD, 2 Gig OCZ Low Latency RAM, 256mb XFX Geforce 6800 SLI-ready GFX card (I plan to buy a second card when the 512 mb cards are cheaper and get two of those running in my system), 535W PSU. Naturally, I decided to go for Windows XP x64 Edition ... does anyone know if continuum would even work on this OS, I'm not sure whether its a 32-bit install program or a 16-bit install program. Anywho, back to work I go, I may drop in Deva in a couple of months, work keeps me busy and I only have dialup at home again. Cheers XDOOM

Connections If you got one, you are good to go If you dont, then good luck to you.

Suggest a song and I will consider it!

I've made a few addtions to the idea. But first, a subtraction ... i've decided against buyable ships. Also, I think i've decided against warp tunnels. Now, the additions 1 ball with a goal in each base. Only the levi can be attached to, up to a turret of 15 people. The idea is to have the "weakest" ship be the only ship that you can attach to. Here are some things that I want a bot to do: 1. Do not permit attaching by flaggers 2. Once the team brings the flag into their flag room, it is dropped instantly, unless they control 4 of the 5 flags, and are trying to drop the 5th flag. In order to drop the 5th flag, they must wait until the timer runs out. This gives the attacking team a chance to regain a flag. 3. Messages from the bot saying who just got a flag and how many flags each team has, etc

Synister also mentioned to me about the buyable ships ... not many zones succeed, and it may be too complicated of an approach. I would consider the buyable ships as a possible option, so I could go either way on this. -XDOOM
