SOS

I guess

Hah

I'm strating to like this more with every moment. This could be that "something neat" to bring in people, hopefully.

Idea: if jackpot is won during the first few minutes of each hour, the JP is tripled.

Stats after flag victory, you want? tm_master said he would like it. I think it's just spam. I'd rather not have much useless stuff. Let me know what you think.

How about we drop credits and use points instead? I don't like two point systems when we already have one that works well. And to prevent spam, we have have bricks cost like.... 20% of the player's points, minimum 20 million? I'm thinking we might only offer *really* cool things for "sale". Nothing ordinary or useless, yet nothing too powerful either. Some ideas: Super-expensive bricks for when you really need it. Expensive giving engine shutdown to someone random on the enemy team. Super-expensive "get 5 flags, no questions asked" option. Expensive warping of a random player to you (only one time per minute) - russian roulette flagger hunting Remove antiwarp from nearest enemy player. Give nearest enemy player an engine shutdown. Warp everyone in your vicinity. Full items Energy deplete everyone in your vicinity We can't have too much buyable stuff. 5-10 maybe. Definitely not over 10. Maybe only 5...

It is

I don't see a need for it. 1) Why should dead teams get to base back fast? They got their asses kicked, so let them rot 2) Why put even more pressure on carriers? They have a hard job anyway Well... I'm sortof indifferent on this idea, which means I lean towards naah. Also, would Deva still be Deva with this? I'm not so sure... (Perhaps add for the weekend and test?)

Hrm... well, two points: 1) Something useful to buy for points/credits might be good 2) But would it? Deva is about flagging, not trinkets, as the design do!@#$%^&*ent says Trinkets distract people. I'll think about this... maybe I'll have some more thoughts tomorrow

Meh, sleep time for me in a few minutes... timezones rule

2000ms for kickout :D (Tell Altec to do everything I messaged him with, when you see him! Gotta get this bot on the server)

Wtf, you posted that 5 seconds after I did (Get in the zone, not on the boards ) (Lazing at work? )

Hmm... I'll see about it tomorrow

I'm talking about the server kick settings, not some annoying lag bot (I haven't bothered to find one of those... meh, I guess I might as well do it)

Isn't that what the periodic message is for?

Ah, bush....

Not cost-effective at all

The setting is kickout or nothing, really

Why should dialup laggers be allowed to play? 350 should be high enough, even for nasty dialup... but yeah, let's see. Find out what your lag is during some bigger flag games, let me know. (!@#$%^&* time zones...)

I'm a coder and a hacker and a cheater and a serial killer. Guess ^_^ (I must admit I am not entirely clear on the difference between Americans and Canadians )

350ms lag kickout sounds good, yes? 2% packetloss kickout too, yes? BTW, X, your !@#$%^&* ?messagebox is full

Heh, it's supposed to fade into the radar text! I don't want some annoying standing-out feature. It's there when the player needs it, it won't bother and distract him when he's playing. Standing out is bad. It distracts. Everything must blend together. Comma separated? Hmm... I never thought of that... crazy americans I don't think I'll put in commas but I'll add some empty space after every 3 digits. D+'s green jackpot was OK but I didn't have its graphics available at the moment. I didn't like the white ones at all. Also, I had to re-do the LVZ anyway, because D+ didn't know how to make it use the IDs I wanted to -_- (Pretty tree... what's it for?) Spaces added.

How do you know about my plan to... ah, nevermind

What do you think? (I tried the default SS font too for the "jackpot:" but it looked pretty ugly. I'm not totally happy with this one but it's the best I could find... I think it'll do, hmm?)

And it's up.
