Re: don't let BZFlag die

I agree in part with Constitution. Forced registration, in my opinion, would probably reduce the player numbers a bit, but not significantly. But I think the question is how to *increase* registration - you have to make it something people *want* to do, that they get a benefit from doing so. Being a...

Re: Voting

Interesting discussion. Yes, many players are apathetic when a voting poll appears. It takes a bit of work on the poll caller to make sure everyone knows *why* a poll is going to appear - this helps elicit more of a response. But, I do agree that *many* players just don't care enough to vote. The sa...

I've played MW2, and I've gotten caught by the edge of the map glitch also. Many times. Some while admins have been observing me, and have commented that they don't know why it happens, nor why it catches a player.

Comments: It would be useful for players to watch how the spawn algorithm works. I've noticed certain results at specific times - but if anyone wants to contradict me here - please chime in. In other words, if the red team caps green, and they have a certain number of red tanks in all three quadrant...

I think that mentioning peoples names and bans on the forum is against the rules.

New Flag Idea - Reverse Theif (yeah, new flag ideas suck...)

So- we were playing Louman's Alpine Assault (gorgeous map BTW), and I found myself wanting a reverse theif flag - so we would have to "pass" the flag from one to another. I realize this may have a very limited appeal, but it would allow some industrious map maker to create a "football...

Scoreboard names when team flag is picked up

Suggestion: For easier admin'ing, it would be helpful if whenever a team flag is picked up, that player's name would be in bold, or a larger type. Would help tracking people who mistakenly take a team flag, or flag runners in general. Make it an option for general public to see? Could help teammates...

There is no auto flag reset to my knowledge. Perhaps an administrator reset it while he was there. The flag zones are supposed to put a certain equal number of flags in each base, so, yeah... Must be an admin added it like GraceF said. One of the better things about the v3 was that it seemed the fl...

Re: MissleWar in a 3rd Version!

[snip] Now we dont need to do /flagreset anymore :P Interestingly enough, now there seems to be a "flagresetbot" that's doing a flag reset every 10 minutes - which is annoying. First off, it lags me a bit when so many flags are put onto the map all at once. Second, if a team has positione...

My vote: Keep the new platforms. Make the pyramids solid. (Not drive-through, not shoot-through) Make the base entrances drive-through from BOTH sides (but just inside is fine), and make it not shoot-through from either side. No more laser camping from there. Overall, I think these changes may be t...

[snip] I also realize the walls that were added in the previous version were not popular among some of you. I had to add these due to complaints about not being able to *spawn* because of campers who just ricoed in to a base. I agree the door walls were needed to stop the laser campers from spawnca...

Well, I have to voice a different opinion about the changes. To me, it seems the changes will just further increase the camping already happening on the map. Before the doors were covered, at least there was some CTF'ing going on regularly. Yes, there was laser camping from across the map whenever a...

shuffle setting

This game really needs a shuffle command for an admin to shuffle the players to different teams on a CTF server. All too often one team is stacked, and once winning they don't care about it being a good game or not, they just want to keep winning. Even better - a variable setting where if one teams ...
