Classic "please always type in all caps" training.. HELLO //HELLO

There are *ufo and *super, which if granted by a sysop make your ship quite the god mode. But the settings for those are what they are iirc and you can't add more *commands. If there were no greens, you could start from garbage ships and ?buy stats etc. I assume this is what hyperspace does. Or use ASSS modules as extra parts for their ship via movin .lvz files. It takes all kinds of cunning trickery to bend ss out of shape.

1. is it possible to add a ?buy nightwasp to allow people to play the old school cloaker. ie your in a shark. you ?buy nightwasp you lose fast bullets and get cloak and old shark settings? No. One ship, one universal setup for certain things.

No.

From Sue E. Side I have a question. Why do so many of the regulars avoid conflict? I would understand it if these people were going for kill/death ratio... but they aren't. They really, really aren't.

o rly? That is mighty strange. And no, I don't have anyone in mind.

Screw uStream, if at all possible, use own3d.tv or twitch.tv. Both of those sites are gaming oriented, your channel with its 3 viewers from SubSpace and 3 people who click the wrong link might get the word out there. Then whatever horrible non Chaos/4v4 zone you represent might get some players With much <3, your favourite dic(k)tator, Caerbannog

The oldie old names from pre-retail would probably maybe not have low IDs, as they were reset when the billing was reset on the switch over to the iNET era. This was in 1998, don't have the exact date but I can get it to you pretty much down to the minute as I can just ?usage it out of the name with ID 8, ho ho ho. Baudchaser, BD Vine, Mrs Perkins, Fiery, Anna-Puma, and the other guys from Langoliers / RAF / Warzone administration would have low IDs.

Ok who wants to win this with me?

Don't rule it out. Teaming is both natural and impossible to judge. The way MoC is supposed to work is 1) weaker pilots teaming up on the pilots they cannot defeat themselves 2) backstabbing a weakling to progress to the next round if the target is not exploding. I'd like to see revenge-teaming, but I don't think people care enough, even if as single players they whine about the teaming. And there's been a written understanding of killing both Gadianton and Abbreviator out of MoC as soon as possible by all 4v4 players for a while now, just to let them know how much we all appreciate their playstyle that is killing chaos pub during the weeks

Actually if this guy who definitely has no aliases, no sir, is looking to help make newbies feel more welcome, then this would also be good placed in the other forums we have here. Chaos players already know about this squad, and will see it in the zone before they look for it on the forums? =)

Seems to be gone now. By start and end Dreamhack and its 11k networked computers on a 20 gb line would fit the time frame, logically that doesn't make sense to me. O well. EDIT: Oh, being ok is so 3 hours ago. Now I have low at 140, ave 360 and current 550... which is worse than a stable 260

So my ping is currently about double what it usually is (120-140) at 260-280, today some additional, probably over the limit, c2s ploss was added. This crap started on Thursday and is somewhere between the east coast and the server since I can http://pingtest.net/ to NY or DC at 130 ms. Anyone else got this and if so, did you trace it down to a specific router? I need to somehow haxor my NAT away before I can pass a trace all the way to the server.

Postmen can wait. Your neighbors can wait. Pretty much any unannounced door bell ringing person can wait. And that 30 seconds is more than what you tested with Surrey. And if it's someone who announced they'd be coming over, you want to hit F11.

I go on a spree and spawn again in the next reset. I don't understand why people bother with dying =P

I guess you actually play enough to actually need a safezone every now and then. Most people come and go in chaos public in such short cycles that they have no use for a safezone, and thus probably don't like safe-running newbies as much. If the arena size (doors) were dynamic, you could use those to block access to safezones, leaving only one or so available for low pop.

Thanks for the tournament. It was a success apart from 2 and buny tanking past round 1 ;( People should really register on forums and/or clear their schedule before 10 minutes prior to start though

I hope on the spot registration still works, elmo might be there.. I told him to get tool or someone to play with EDIT: Apparently I'll be playing with Enforcer.

Shame. There can be no Katana (that was it, right?) vs. Woodstock'69 rematch Although fallim not playing this game anymore takes care of that. Anyways, I'm available to pwnerize this with someone. Have fun at E3 Neo, go around to the stands and "Meh. Not as good as subspace!" loudly.

I'll play with whoever wants to suicide rush the other 2 people in the tiny tiny box with me. First one to report me as their partner "wins" ;P

Unless the creator of the map gives permission for his/her map to be used elsewhere then it can't be used? If that's the case that's fine. And obviously DSB mapper is long gone, and we aren't even sure who made the map, so the map is there's. It is also mainstream. But I still disagree on tile-sets. I think all graphics should be freely distributed. Especially if you have 20 minutes to watch that video. She makes perfect sense. Not trying to steal population. I was thinking of lending my map to friend who owns a zone. But he said biller won't allow it if it uses the tileset I made it on. I am not staff at my friends zone. I don't even play there. He didn't even ask. I offered and he likes the map. Your logic on "I made the map and let your zone use it, you cannot tell me what other zones I can let use it" applies to tilesets alike, if you spend a few hours on creating tiles (or .lvz) for YOUR map, you might not want other people to use them without permission. I think this is fine. Except if the graphic is ripped off from somewhere (like a pac-man ghost, or pac-man himself). Stuff like that should be free for all, since the original creator probably isn't the REAL original creator as such

Blatantly ripping off an event/map/tiles/settings without permission is bad, mostly cause it just reeks of trying to steal other zones' population. If you made a map out of your free will, and using tiles (or re-tile it) that you made, you should be allowed to give it to as many zones as you want to IMO. I don't think even DSB could claim "rights" to any given map, unless you're talking about their public map.

League is league and pub is pub, they should not be the same. While they can co-exist peacefully on the same server, they are very different games. In a nutshell, league's settings have steered away from 1998 settings to give people false hope of having something other than 4 warbirds vs 4 warbirds games. And for various reasons, toy limits have been altered and turrets/mines tweaked. I would not like to see turrets removed from pub, they're half the fun. League players are too goal oriented to fly around chaos brainlessly "with no challenge". Get chaos zone league going, you might seem them there. You know they already win MOC each month.

Oh, quite leagueish. I'll let the league people know their ships are about the same in pub now. Wb should be pretty much a carbon copy sans item costs and multi bullet cost. And of course items max amounts. The other ships will rotate slower if they're 230 vs. league's base 270? or so. But that'll just make the players feel super nimble when they get to league, woohoo
