I think the main reason the tournament "didn't work," even though I'm sure it would have if given a little more time, was the positioning. I know that personally I've had one event after another come up during the holidays and a few days after New Years. Perhaps we could consider reviving this a lit...

I'll sign a petition or something if you need me to! Sounds promising.

I picked mine while playing the ducati style servers back in the 1.x versions. Everybody was really good and I was new to ducati. So I became a "wannabe" in attempts to catch them in scores. :-) Perhaps an activity you're involved with? Favorite animals? Heh... secret agent names? :| Dunno, really. ...

Well, if certain players enjoy the atmosphere at Planet M, that's entirely up to them. As mentioned, it is correct, server owners have the right to allow or disallow language and be lenient or very strict about it. As for this: People who have such a big problem with language are an overrepresented ...

Aren't we being just a little self-righteous? As people have explained already, servers are privately run and owners can set rules as they please. Client-side filtering is probably your best option. What exactly makes you the type of player that the game "needs"? What puts you in a position to make...

On relatively open maps, small patches (or "forests") of pyramids are sometimes helpful. It helps to break up the monotony a bit when you're driving for long distances. Typically, there are a lot of tall, thin pyramids... or a few fat, short ones. I think that would help you a little bit, but you're...

It is a bug... but it doesn't really affect gameplay all that dramatically. Especially in any negative way.

Alright, people say Genocide makes people go after personal gain far too much, and detracts attention from capturing flags. Bottom line is, Rabbit Hunt, Capture the Flag, and Free For All servers... every single one... people go for personal gain. That's why people play online games. I understand th...

I enjoy playing with the majority of players who have posted here and a whole lot more... specifics, I couldn't really say. You're all way too awesome, lol.

Louman = loo/man
gnusense = new/sense

Knowing how to pronounce names is a must in BZFlag!

I highly doubt that it would be easy to get involved in ESL, but it's worth a try I suppose, if the top-bz-peoples think it's a good idea. It would definitely bring more people to the game...

Banner ads ftw!

It saddens me that all the effort, dedication, hard work and money put into bzflag and the servers is spoiled by the increasing use of bad language. I consider myself to be one of the better players because I never curse, call people idiots, morons, J..A.. or worse. Score wise I am a terrible playe...

For what it's worth, I'd say a match in the month of January, and then another in July. The cycle continues. Every six months, we match! :-) In 2010, we'd have another Riker. Plus, we'd get one more this year. Similarly to what beanpole and slime said, I think if we made it every three or four month...

Any chance there might be hoodies ordered soon?

Thanks for the screenies, downloaded them and enjoyed scrolling through the multiple times.

Nobody's phago-bashing. Good game all, was a blast. I was honored to play in the tourny. Thanksies!

dexii can u post the names of the two teams when they are picked? In general, I think the teams are just referred to as either the "European" or the "American" team. But i dont like if all of phago players at rikercup. I don't think the entire [phagozytose] team will be on the same side, but if thi...

Perhaps, rather than trying to set up an impossible five hundred player server... create some new maps and get your friends interested in the game. Every individual player could easily take part in doubling our BZCommunity if this "decline" bothers you so much. :-) Setting up a five hundred player s...

Looks very fun. Hope it gets hosted.

Very shiny, sweet, and simple. An awesome bz site.

Don't play in the pillbox league. It's nasty. Absolutely nasty. In case you want to try it out, the website is http://pillbox.bzleague.com :P If you're new to the game, the pillbox style is an excellent way to learn dodging, teamwork, etc. Find GU or Ducati to work on more complex dodging and ricoc...

Welcome back, mate. I remember you. Your team is still alive and kicking! See you on the battlefield.

Give in to the ways of BZFlag. *cackles maniacally* First off, welcome. :-) Great to have another community member. Don't worry, in time, you'll get better. Watching players that have been on a long time helps in particular. Okay, yeah, don't worry. They probably aren't ignoring you, and if they wer...

Obviously, players should never teamkill for the "greater good" of their team. Hunting a new player on your own team is up to you, but I wouldn't do it. Don't overcomplicate things. In both team bases there are Super Bullet flags and Shock Wave flags. With some careful planning and teamwork, Genocid...
