I'm sure there are plenty of things that are possible that we havent seen. For example when Ceiu was developing the Kojima thing, it had several new setting aspects that werent seen. Same thing for sysop leetness, there are things in there that havent been really seen, but very possible. Not saying to make it an item, but just stating that there are plenty of things that we havent seen that are possible. New point defenses are definitely possible and there, but not purchasable, of course some of them would need tweaking, but a different kind of PD would be nice. Mabe one that shoots out lvl1 prox bombs or reps every 3 seconds when an enemy is nearby or mines every 5 when you back up, etc. Something not overpowered, but still sig worthy. Or even have a nonsig PD that shoots out like lvl2 nonstop, no bounce There is very little left in the game protocol at this point that hasn't been explored. Almost anything "new" at this point would end up being variations and combinations of existing mechanics. Take the kojima boosters for example. It used the same technique as a bunch of the other FTL methods, just changing some numbers around. The associated properties were just to make it so only people with the item could use the commands. What you suggest about the different kind of PDs is just that, changing some numbers around. Sysop leetness as I recall was just summoning in reverse. Having things like a time-based damage limit would require a change to the underlying mechanics of how the game works. Similarly, there is no way to have an item increase "maxenergy" because that doesn't exist. The maxspeed and maxthrust properties are just there to dictate afterburner performance. Saying things like "you don't know every aspect of asss" is funny because collectively, we pretty much do at this point.

Jowie where you at I want to talk about a molecule

I just wanted to make sure people didn't misinterpret my statement

haha this guy with the jokes

The main point of the "lameness clause" is to illustrate the difference between legal/arbitration systems in meatspace and hyperspace. Doing something intentionally harmful and then saying "Well technically I didn't do anything wrong because the letter of the law doesn't specifically call out this behavior as forbidden" is not going to work. It's a warning that even if you think you find a loophole, don't be surprised if you end up dealing with the consequences. This is not a democracy, you can't "gotcha!" us. Now this is not to say that we power trip around swinging the ban hammer just because we feel like it. We attempt to use our best judgment in all of the situations across the spectrum of complexity we encounter. Again, its mostly for the people who have watched a few too many episodes of Law and Order and try to get cute. Save your time and ours, we don't have the same set of restrictions largely because the consequences of an overreaction on our part are negligible compared to real life. Also we run this town. That's cool, I might still go through and grab it through authorized force. Seriously people, stop being dicks.

A+++ thread would read again lol @ unix

Discretion is still our best shot, and will remain so unless something really dramatic happens

Congrats and nice choice on name, sounds a lot like Nathan Fillion.

NAAP anyone?

but they dont fall down

you can use del with ?py to clean up your namespace

Instead of having it pop up every time, would probably be better to just show you what medals you got at the end of a flag game

I have a few ideas about how to implement an achievement system but, like everything else, it would take time to put a proper one together.

exec module can be used for arbitrary python commands, ?py (whatever) you only know what squad a player was on when he entered, changes wont take effect until reconnect you can set up some simple tests with this utility

we haven't had multi freq flagging in quite some time because it got to the point where it was hurting flag games

we'll do that, but rename the US division to awesome division and euro division to loser division and automatically crown awesome division winner zone champions

of course not

Yeah that's true you need some kind of permalink function

Going to disagree, this looks sloppy: http://imgur.com/Gh0nx.png
