The spawning up the letters is only dangerous if you hang out up there. It is easy enough to drop quickly and fairly safely. I hope we can find a way to keep play on that level. The style of the letters looks great to me - my vote is to leave it for now. Me too, it's fun to go up on the letters. Th...

From what I've seen it's impossible to force other players to drop their flags. I'm transitioning from mac to linux though so I don't have the time to look it up. Could be related to TH, but that is something I don't want to really even get into... *edit* Secondly: Show us your proof that the perso...

i have checked the logs of the previous day too (for you it was probably the same day). there seems to have been a lot of tk'ing going on, including guppy killing others, and you too. if they were intentional i can't tell for sure, but some of the tk's on you seem to have happened in a short period...

Firstly: Don't be silly. If someone cheats, report it. Don't sink to their level. Secondly: Show us your proof that the person was cheating... Point taken, usally I start a poll to kick or ban them. But his was interesting, one that I hadn't seen before. Had to play for quite a while to see him usi...

lol, it was on fox burrow, several hours earlier, his score at the time was less than 100. There are all kind of modified code, from god mode down to a slightly tinyer tank. You know, if you play this game long enough you can recongnise when something isn't quite right. Yes, flags get dropped from l...

to the best of my knowledge we are not talking about individual policy decisions on this forum, but since your post is -still- here, here you go anyway: there was NO single mention of guppy using a modified client even though a lot of words have been exchanged during the game. he seemed like a very...

Did you ban guppy for using a modified client?

You banned me for teamkilling, when he had intentionally tked me many more times than I did him. And he was using a modified client.

Is it teamkilling to shoot someone using a modified client who teamkills? His client did the following: 1. Makes you drop your flag, usally at the wrong times. 2. Gets the flag he wants 3. Shoots someone (teamkills) and doesn't die 4. I'm not sure about this one, but when he tked someone else died. ...

I installed a fresh 2.0.8 overtop a 2.0.6 install, then uninstalled the 2.0.6.

I agree, although i would have added "very" to the "good".

The theory behind this is that the server warns you, and there are two schools of thought in the admin/cop camp;After 4 warnings some of us may just kill you so you drop the flag, others will kick. Personally I will kick you, it helps to even the teams up quicker, and as this is a ctf server person...

Rules should be enforced by the server, not admins, especially if the admin is playing for a team. When rules are enforced by admins who are playing the game, it can lead to what amounts to cheating in the game as they enforce the rules. Silvercat's server is a good example. The server should drop t...
