Not too bad tonight either, peaking at 19. We had some speccers this time though and unfortunately not enough to start a pub game. Played SBL 4vs4, Speedball, 2v2, QuickGoal..

DEAR DIARY The zone was alive for a few hours last night. We played some Rumble, SBLBall (2 times) and Speedball 3 times in different maps with 10+ players. Then we finished by playing some pub where we ended up getting 23 players! Fun, fun. In the makings is a new ball event, similar to SBLBall but probably with more specialized ship settings.

Hi Raem.

Okay friends, I've listened to all the opinions and suggestions. I've made some modifications according to some of them. In the latest update you'll see that the map size has been reduced a lot. Other than that I have removed rockets from weasels since they're not really needed in this map. The tunnels around the map are gone, as is the circular flag room that used to be on top of the bases. The bases are also a bit smaller now, and I had to change the flag rooms a bit because of that. The bases now have 10 flags each. I think it turned out pretty good, check it out. Edit: Thanks to Exact for the first version of the edited map.

I totally agree with this decision. About time too! Thanks.

Your fake dispute is also sad ;( We all know you two love eachother with great intensity.

F this is like a really really bad episode of Days of our Lives, except it's like a really really bad episode of Days of our Lives THAT WE'VE ALL already seen. Get new material!!

Woooowt We must've had like 20+ people in 17th today (not at the same time though, 14 at most). Delic> I'm going to bed Delic> Like perni Manus Cele> with perni? Manus Cele> !?!?

There's still logs in every page. It's always been that we post logs and then sometimes people comment on them and then a new conversation emerges from that. Since this thread is about conversations, it's logical that it has many topics, focused on humor of course (although some logs spark some drama sometimes, still humorous >;P) The initial post doesn't tell us we can't do that, does it? >=P Since this is a forum, it happens quite naturally.

Okay okay... it was fun and all.. but let's not get overly-gay here.. Homo-humor is only funny when it's moderated.

TOO LATE to try to save yourself now!! I know why you're so angry Adam.. You're angry because me and Ice have rejected you time and time again.. You try to fight back and use big words in attempt to seem independent and kool.. but you can't hide the fact that you look up to us.. I'm sorry we don't like you, just move on, there's no need to lose your dignity and manners along with your credibility.

lol Adam probably doesn't know that Oreo was a well known player before Adam started playing ;/ There goes the little credibility Adam had left.. And I disagree that this thread has gone off-topic.. It's always been like this.. some log-posting and some chatter >;D This is the place for humor!

Huh? She said she got warped out of base O_o

I suppose you could've been doorwarped as well >;P

I smell brickwarping. Don't know what else it could be >;P

lol Nah he meant in the zone, I do have powers here. Dec 16 2006, 12:17 PM "Unfortunately I don't have SysOp powers yet. I was given the password, but apparently, from what I've been told it's useless if you're not on sysop.txt, which apparently I'm not" That's from the "Delic for Sysop" thread by Emblazon. That was the day after Mike decided to give me SysOp. I didn't have SysOp powers till like 2 days later. Poor Tex. I guess he thought that post was recent.

That seriously made me burst out laughing, rofl. You're quite a character, Tex..

As I said before, there's a 2v2 League in the planning stages. I've been talking with some people about it and they seem interested. The jav is still something people come back for, but I'd like to see a 2v2 League with other ships as well, but we'll see. You assume right. There will always be something being planned. I haven't been able to come online in my normal hours when I usually see a lot of 17th players in other zones, that's one of the reasons why pub hasn't been alive a lot lately, but we still get events going from time to time. The advertising campaign idea I had is yet to come too, that should bring some more players in here as well. 17th is still in the process of revival as I see it, the first step was to just put this new pub up.

To those who don't know.. Ice is black... ..yes he is!

I giggled. Keep them coming.

Hahaha did you notice Mike's response to your sig-quote? Incomplete> ?find MikeTheNose MikeTheNose is in SSCC Metal Gear CTF MikeTheNose> ?find Incomplete Not online, last seen more than 10 days ago lol dunno that made me laugh

Well I delibirately made the bases far from eachother (far from the safeties rather) so that when a team kills everyone in the base, they would have time to fly back to the entrance to stop the opposite team from getting back in. I know it would seem impossible to get in just from looking at the entrances, I remember Manus thought the same before he realized the use of specials in this situation. They play a big part in getting back in and makes it a lot easier, specially the reps obviously. Just the Lanc's bouncy bombs can be enough sometimes though. Nevertheless, it still calls for teamwork, which was also something I was trying to implement: a gameplay that requires teamwork, where the team with best combination of ships gets the best outcome. If a team still can't get in from the main entrance, they can always use the side tunnels to fly around the base and get in that way. It's not as hard as it seems really. I don't know what you mean with "tight corridor flagging", the flags aren't in the corridors you silly ;D The corridors simply lead to the flag rooms, which have plenty of space, more than most past 17th Pub maps had (which is also why the map would appear so big). The map has different type of areas where ships fight differently well (just like real units), this is one of the things that makes 17th settings so great in my opinion. The narrow passages are the Spider's domain $ As for your opinion that for some reason 2 bases doesn't work this way, I totally disagree. You use DSB as an example of a one-base map, but DSB is actually 4 different "bases" put together, two which have 3 entrances and one 2. In league games there you can see how it's basically 8 different teams fighting in those different areas, seperately. So I think your argument is flawed. SWR and other zones also have gameplays where you fight in 2 different bases: attacking one and defending the other. Some people look at this map and say it's too big, but I really think it's just 'cause they're not used to seeing this kind of map in 17th. The maps of the zones I mentioned (and others) don't even have any borders (you can fly anywhere in the maps), so I really think that the size of the map is irrelevant, because essentially, if you want to win you have to confront your opponents and at a certain place. But the point with this was to take the traditional 17th flavour and use it in a "new" type of gameplay which would be based on the original 17th Parallel theme. I think it's very important that we stay true to the 17th theme because if we don't then the zone will lose its iden!@#$%^&*y, and one of the things I think reflects the theme the best is just that: the 2 bases, North vs. South, but most importantly: a map based on turf flagging, which I think obviously suits the theme better than any other type of game. It's true that more players are needed to have a better test, but remember, I've been testing this since 2003 >=P

Came in and saw these 2 discussing.. SmashLampj> I was shooting you poolstud63> and then i came and killed you poolstud63> right SmashLampj> before and after the clone SmashLampj> I saw the clone, it didn't move like a human poolstud63> shooting the clone doesnt hurt me SmashLampj> right SmashLampj> I didn't shoot it poolstud63> the bar at the top of the screen is your energy SmashLampj> right SmashLampj> how close were you!?!?!?!?!?! poolstud63> not very SmashLampj> why did I die so fast then?

Edit: I've tried to get ahold of the bot host in vain.. I'll upload Control in pub tomorrow and host the bot as long as I can, hopefully the host will have received the bot and loaded it..
