    corey in the house woop woop
  2. Now that i think about it, it would be badass to have multiple images replace the badge for different events the player does. Like say someone gets a 2-fer, and a 2-fer image is displayed on said player for a couple seconds..
  3. 1) Can a module be designed (and still have the server be stable) that checks a player's position and predicts where he's going to be in .30 seconds based on velocity & direction, and keep doing this consecutively for extended periods of time (like hours)? 2) Can a module be designed (and still have the server be stable) that corelates two players and can pinpoint AND place a graphic next to a player from one person's perspective every .30 seconds? Much like the Subspace Badge (you know, that subspace forums logo at the top of this page), I think it would be cool to have an image that float next to players based on status (given the developmental focus of a zone) like say if one person were a pirate, there could be a skull-and-crossbones image that "follows" a player instead of a badge. (not sure if it's possible to have badges on multiple players ??) heck, it would be much easier if there was a way to manipulate the ss badge system to where multiple people could have a badge at the same time, and just replace the badge with a different image..
  4. gonna hijack this thread instead of making my own. has anyone here used one of those mice that you use your thumb to move? it's like a regular mouse but it's stationary and the mouse ball is on the side and you rotate the ball with your thumb.. im thinking about getting one. anyone try it??
  5. its down again
  6. i was thinking of the players going through the maze while other players build but .. would it just be 1 person or would there be a whole team dedicated to building structures along the path? It would be hell to balance something like that, but it's definitely plausible. Here's a system I thought of that might work but you'd have to scale things to not be too weak or overpowered Rules: 20 creeps (those guys that run thru the maze), 1 person in spec building structures. He has 30 seconds to build. He's given $1,000 to work with, and his frequency has 40 lives. For each enemy player that survives the run, 1 life is lost. So he builds a few structures, kills 1 person on the first wave. That 1 person is added to his frequency and he is now a builder, but starts at a much lower $ to work with than the other person (let's say $100, and can only build 1 small structure because of it). Killing players nets you $ and your team a smaller portion of that $. Wave 1 are ships with low energy and speed Wave 2 has more, and so on and so forth until the final wave (to be determined) yes?

    OTEC method

    OTEC produces the same amount of energy for the same price as wind turbines, this isn't something revolutionary folks. There's also pretty big political issues regarding territory in the sea for OTEC plants. Because OTEC facilities are more-or-less stationary surface platforms, their exact location and legal status may be affected by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea treaty (UNCLOS). This treaty grants coastal nations 3-, 12-, and 200-mile zones of varying legal authority from land, creating potential conflicts and regulatory barriers to OTEC plant construction and ownership. OTEC plants and similar structures would be considered artificial islands under the treaty, giving them no legal authority of their own. OTEC plants could be perceived aseither a threat or potential partner to fisheries management or to future seabed mining operations controlled by the International Seabed Authority.

    Bob came home late and drunk one night, slid into bed beside his sleeping wife, and fell into a deep slumber. He awoke before the Pearly Gates, where St. Peter said, "You died in your sleep, Bob.." Bob was stunned. "I'm dead? No, I can't be! I've got too much to live for.. Send me back!" St. Peter said, "I'm sorry, but there's only one way you can go back, and that is as a chicken." Bob was devastated, but bugged St. Peter to send him to a farm near his home.. The next thing he knew, he was covered with feathers, clucking, and pecking the ground. A rooster strolled past. "So, you're the new hen, huh? How's your first day here?" "Not bad," replied Bob the hen, "but I have this strange feeling inside. Like I'm gonna explode!" "You're ovulating," explained the rooster. "Don't tell me you've never laid an egg before?" "Never," said Bob. "Well, just relax, slowly start clucking and let it happen," says the rooster. It's no big deal." Bob did start cluckin, and a few uncomfortable seconds later, out popped an egg! Bob was overcome with emotion as he experienced motherhood. He soon clucked away and laid another egg -- his joy was overwhelming. As he was clucking and about to lay his third egg, he felt a smack on the back of his head, and heard his wife yell... "BOB, wake up you SON OF A BITCH, you've just shit the bed!"
  17. I have a name that i created in like 2008 that says it was created in 1999 but the userid is nowhere near what it should be. Its in the hundreds of thoudands i think But i made Xog in 2002
  18. A lot has been tried and pretty much everything has failed...We have assessed what the problems are, more specifically with TW.. It's that there's no sense of hierarchy, everyone is pretty much the same, nobody gets angry when they lose a duel, nor do they care when they win. The enthusiasm within the game is basically completely gone. I believe a fix is to not have so many competitions and leagues so that there is just one or two major events that everyone looks forward to. Being able to boast 1 title from several events I believe has loosened up the competition and enthusiasm. The trick is to remove these competitions/events/leagues without losing population while everyone gets their mojo back. It's a sense of balance and should be done very carefully. TWDD, TWSD, TWJD, TWBD, TWLD, TWLS, TWLJ, TWLB, TWELD, TWELJ, TWELS, TWDTD, TWDTJ, TWDTB, TWHT, TWT, BWC that's a shitload of leagues, man. Another thing is.. If I were to log in right now, what is there to do? I like basing..and pub is full of idiots. I like organized and balanced teams - its a real game and requires teamwork. I usually wind up playing in pub for a while, playing a game of elim, baseelim, then i log off.. very very boring. During that time I have probably seen about 10 lines of text outside of pub. (nobody talks to eachother.. what would be the point in talking to other people if you're here to play a game, right? .. competition is gone, so no reason to communicate) If ?go base is advertised, nobody will show, because there's 120+ people in 3 squads that BD and they are only looking to BD because they want to win TWLB, and people also won't show because they're doing other things like .. being in ?go afk or talking on squad chat or exploring other zones out of boredom. Basing is dead. Nobody plays ?go base anymore because there's so many other things to do, like TWBD. TWBD is dominated by only a select few squads, all of which have denied my access to (except anti-scrub, which hasn't seen a TWD game in months.. and i'll be going back with a-s if they get their act together). The competition is scarce. Those few squads are only going to allow those that are in other BD squads to join, it's on its final whim to be blunt. TWLB will be completely dead after this season. All the other basers have quit, become inactive or joined those walled-off squads that wont accept new players and will soon die out completely. TWDD and TWJD are in a similar boat. There's too much interest in all the other things. It was great having so many viable leagues and things to play in, but it is a double bladed sword and is reducing activity as a whole. If you're given 500 apples and 1,000 baskets, well... 500 people are going to have empty baskets.
  19. word haha. im usually logged in on my train ride to/from work and in between my smoke breaks. its fun to chat with ppl playing subspace at 8AM
  20. that shit was deep...
  21. Hah, no. :\
  22. I know this is a bit of a bump but I just wanted to thank everyone that helped. The firm finally merged both locations and your contributions really helped save a ton of work and time. It's a shame IT doesn't help us or suggest things that could assist in our operations. I was able to create a total of 11,386 files because of this simple little script. I guesstimate I would have only been able to do half of that without it, considering it cut my production time in half. So, thanks guys
