Cyclone isnt overpowered now because it's moderation in all the areas. Damage, fire rate, reasonable fire cost. It's not that it doesnt have 2 of the 3 or whatever. It's not that another staffer does it, it's that I'm the only one being chastised for doing it

I dont setfreq people onto a freq if I'm nost hosting the flag game. Simple as that. Unless I'm told me an upper staff, meaning smod or higher, I wont do it. If you want, just work with one another, the pubs dont have to attack one another. I did really degrant you 10k, but at the same time I really did grant you 10k. You just didnt notice the fact that I did grant you 10k in the beginning because I made it so you couldnt see I granted you. If you think this is the first time it's ever been done from a staffer to another player, you're mistaken.

If you werent against this why even mention it then? I would also like to note that you were doing quite a bit of omnislashing yourself, but let's ignore all that, correct? If I want to create a squad for myself, and I want to make a priv with my squad, I have to put everyone else on a pub freq? My entire time in HS, I've never seen that ever done, except once, and it was when it was late at night, and if I remember correctly, this was before reset, so priv teams were actually hard to take down back then. As for the cyclone thing, you cant use "any" bomb and make up any stats for a new bomb, the only bomb in question is cyclone. Cyclone was slightly faster than salvo is, and lvl2 for EMP users only. Cyclone was extremely powerful because of a combination of low energy usage, high damage output and fast fire rate. ?warn or any other command, do you honestly think I was the first staffer to ever do anything like that? If you believe that, you are very mistaken. So I'm going to be able to tell Timestrain how many they can have on their squad? It's their choice how they wanna run it, and anyone could run their own squad, obviously no one else did. The point of allowing squads to turn into team1/2/3 was so that big squads werent penalized, and more players could participate

File them in a new category - Like universal or multi type etc

How is it futile to try and promote squads in HS? No one has tried, so it must be futile? I've barely even scratched the surface of squad based events/leagues etc and you're already deeming this to be a futile fight. Any squad could create more than one team to participate in HSDT, this is so that large squads arent penalized and more people can participate. If another squad wanted to do this, they could had, is it my fault that TimeStrain has so many members? I dont tell people how to run their squads, but I'm going to make it so that the most members of a squad can participate. Everything needs rules doesnt it? Especially if it's something squad based. In all honesty, the rules I made werent a lot compared to some other events in Continuum. If you cant understand why there's a roster and a registration lock, then you shouldnt be posting. If there wasnt a registration lock, any squad could come in in the middle and participate, I dont think that would be a wise decision. As for a roster lock, this is meant to prevent squad hopping, you might not realize this, but hopping from TS1 to TS3 could be a tactical maneuver, whether it be because TS3 couldnt show with the current people they had or whatever it be. A squad of 5 = Was able to join. That's small enough I would think. So I'm not allowed to create a squad with people who I want to be with in a squad? Umm ok.. Since when did I ever become the spokesperson or team balancing? I made a topic because OTHER people were discussing it in the zone, and I thought it would make an interesting discussion point in forums. Am I not allowed to do that either now? Using staff powers whenever to even a team isnt something I always do, when I do do it, it's because I am actually hosting the flag game, ie: increasing the jackpot by 50k increments. Obviously you didnt think about that small fact when I didnt setfreq people, nor did you think that I joined in on the priv team well after they were made. As for that screen shot, you didnt lose a single penny, but then again you didnt know that, and now you're using that screen shot out of context. For private teams... I actually believe private teams are underpowered right now. A team of 10 in pub (that's not being flanked) can easily overtake a team of six, especially of the attacking pub has sharks on it. A private team isnt like before reset when they were able to easily hold off a team of 20, and dont say it's because priv teams were seven, I doubt one person makes that big of a difference. Once again, something I've said taken out of context. If you knew anything, my weasel has approximately 500 energy more than a shark, all things being equal itemwise. Idk about you, but I think 500 energy when rushing makes a difference. My position was... Nerf the energy slightly and lower the recharge by at least twice the amount of what number energy was taken. My ideal number to try out was 100/300 at least. You stated an incorrect fact about shark, stating that the shark was nerfed 300 recharge already, when it was only nerfed a meager 45. I think that's a viable argument seeing as how 45 hasnt done much, but it has done a little bit. AGAIN you are taking what I said completely out of context. Cyclone before the reset was overpowered, but as it is now, cyclone WOULDNT be overpowered because of the FACT that EMP bomb damage is greatly reduced. It was the simple fact alone that prior to reset, the EMP cyclone was incredible and overpowered. Note the fact that I use a weasel to rush, not a shark. A shark and a weasel nerf will be different. Shark's greatest strength is that it can recover faster than anything. It can nullify any effect cloak has. While it runs away after getting passed the enemy, and doing it well might I add, it can recover it's above average energy. As I said earlier, this would had been an abuse of my power. I'm not hosting the flag game, so why am I going to do something like that? If I was hosting it, it would had been earlier, it would had been before a priv was made, and I would had disbanded the priv myself. Just incase you forgot, I came well after the priv team was made, I wasnt the one who made it. Earlier you said they were 10man pub teams, now they're seven? Huh? ----------------------------------------------------------- I dont contradict myself. My opinions have been constant throughout all my posts I would think. 1) I am trying to promote squad growth, the ways I do it might be questionable, but that is always my goal 2) I do believe shark is overpowered and I believe nerfing recharge would put things on the right step 3) EMP doesnt do anything to a ship like my wzl who has higher energy than most ships, and it is not worth shooting because of the energy drain bombs give 4) I do not "even" teams unless I am hosting the event or am told/allowed to by an upper staffer 5) I want to make the best squad possible while being with people I dont mind being with 6) If you wanna take a joke seriously, that's your problem, but make sure money was actually taken out before you take something out of context

It's not that it's a good upgrade, it's a minor upgrade. All of the good gun sigs are a mixture of two guns, like positron, m!@#$%^&* driver. It's not just a simple upgrade like shrappinger is, just ammoless, shoots faster barely, less energy, the other guns come with some serious upgrades because it's a mix.

Not good enough in comparison to say phaser. All sharppinger is is an upgrade of phaser. Just because you can afford it doesnt mean you wanna reload your ammo all the time, especially if you're a bntyer.

Sig weapon that gives good bomb/gun with no ammo cost.

Fake ?shipitems Either way though, eventually the boredom comes to a lanc

Cough says the one who used sysop leetness and autoturrets then a few other kinds of turrets cough

Two sigs imo

So it looks like the FFA was a toss up for .... "reasons" Let's see how the other matches go since those "reasons" wont happen

HSDT will be having the actual matches to determine the HSDT winners on Sunday May 25th, 2008 at starting at 4:30pm EST. The first HSDT match will begin with non-signature DT then when that is over we will move onto the signature DT. Matches are as follows for BOTH DTs... 1v4 and 2v3 Winners of the matches go up against each other - To determine winner Losers of the matches go up against each other - To determine 3rd place For those of you who dont remember... Rankings: 1- TimeStrain2 2- TimeStrain3 3- TimeStrain1 4- WhiteWolfs Try and arrive early so that your items can be taken care of.

Rankings: 1- TimeStrain2 2- TimeStrain3 3- TimeStrain1 4- WhiteWolfs D_Claw has been removed from HSDT Stats: Lie - 13:4 f3ar-evil - 10:10 lvlelvlo - 8:10 Lera - 3:10

How come no one has said why rechargeable bricks would be bad O_o

60 secs for a port - Bricks last about 20 secs at most, probably even less. Just curious, who voted no and didnt say why?

Just a few amendments to the rules, more specifically about restricted items. Items are still restricted, however no email is needed. We'll just have to go through an entire process of selling/buying back items before the FFA Match. If you chose a player to represent you for the FFA and he is unable to show, you can change who the player is.

So betting on people and also having them bet against each other, what else?

Alright since it appears we have five squads - The number one seed will get a free p!@#$%^&* into the second round then into the finals - So if you get the #1 seed you'll only need to duel twice and win both times to win the entire DT, other seeds will force you to have to duel three times and win to win the DT. If it's four - It'll be no bye, but it's still two duels for #1 seed.

HE Missile is probably the best overall bomb. Non-sig - Low energy cost - Lvl2 splash - Low bomb fire rate

I think he meant frowned upon by other players. A lot of times though the other pubs don't flank one another, if that happens a priv team gets killed. I have only seen one priv team able to withstand against a pub of 10 when the pub team wasn't flanked, even if the pub team is being flanked it's still pretty hard.

Just because it's frowned upon doesn't mean people don't do it Also, squads can be used in other areas not pub related, like league related, hint hint

Gar I'm not going to do something that's purely for players who want to play alone, you can do that anytime, that's called pub. Maybe down the road I will do a player based DT, but as of now it'll be squad based. And I am not being arrogant, I am merely stating the goals of this DT and you don't like those goals. Rootbear, a lot of your criticisms aren't warranted, such as not wanting a FFA or seeding, you didn't even know what seeding was and you thought it was bad, seeding is a good thing and 100% unbiased towards a player.

Sure doesnt sound like you appreciate it root. Anyways, to be completely honest, I guessed this name's password, and the name itself was made in 2003. I've been playing continuum for about two years now and was on a hiatus for 10 of those months. Just because someone doesnt play in your zone doesnt mean they're a newb.

Nice idea, then you can add a few different kind of bricks to it too. Instead of omnifield, omnibrick, so it's a brick that turns into any other brick, probably would be a sig though at the same time since it's so powerful and useful.
