Hello fellow tankers, This old and rusty one has rolled out of the shadows once again to inform you that I've been working on a third installment of Missile War over the past few days. It's practically complete - just needs some tanks rolling around to test it out with me during fierce gameplay. Onc...

AHHHHH! Kierra is captain... AHHH!

Thanks, good reads.

I'd be willing to give it a shot. Babel has been tons of fun in the past. I just worry there might not be enough players on it except at certain times, so the big size might actually make it difficult to get into the action.

If you could pick a certain type or style of map to be made what would you choose? An older style, simple CTF like Dutchrai's Overlord perhaps? Or how about some fancy eye candy like Louman, Spazzy Mcgee, and other great mapmakers have made? Another castle warfare map? Or something totally different...

Hey guys, as you all know the player base is smaller (or at least not as active) as it has been in the past. What could we do to raise awareness about the game and recruit some new blood? :E

Europe continues to dominate. 4-1-1 record. Bummer I missed the most recent one, but sounds like it was close.

You could say that, yes!

So who's pumped for the upcoming Riker Cup?

Be sure to show up for the big day to get a chance to play or even just to see one of the most epic showdowns in BZ.

lax votes 3 too. im representing him

If a player has a vote, they must post it themselves, sry.

As quantum dot said, this is not going to determine the outcome simply by the numbers in this poll. This is indicative, in other words, we are getting the opinion of our league players nothing will be set and stone just because of this poll.

Current Tally (Adjusted for vote changing... some changed from option 2 to option 3, option 3 to option 1, etc.)

Option 1. 31
Option 2. 1
Option 3. 29

It's almost a 50-50 here. Phew!

Strangely enough, I had a similar problem to Rumbler's... once... and no proxies were involved.

Agh, so many people changing votes. Please, consider your vote carefully and then cast it! Good points, all.

Current tally:

Option 1.... 13 votes.
Option 2.....3 votes.
Option 3.....20 votes.

These are my tallies thus far. I'm not sure how to tally the people who say option 4 alone... they need to revote, because 4 is not an option.

Also.. can we get this poll on the gu site somewhere, rather than at bb. The players that can actually be bothered to vote here want 20 min matches, hence the current result which I don't think reflects those in the league. The process of notifying players is still taking place, we will make sure t...

I think some people are unaware you can change the skin/theme of the website. Once you login, look at the menu bar near the top of the screen and click the "config" link on the far right of the menu bar. There will be a drop down menu accessible by clicking on an arrow to change the theme.

This is the current tally:
Option 1.....4 votes.
Option 2.....no votes.
Option 3.....10 votes.

Make sure you let other players know to vote on this, it is important. We appreciate all the comments and concerns.

Hey guys! I know it's been discussed whether or not to allow 20 minute matches as an option for match length in the GU League before and the general consensus was a no. However, the GU Administration Team has decided to initiate a poll to see what the league thinks of the idea at this point in time....

I like the concept. I do wonder how ricos will work without any pyras visible in the screenshot... but I could play on that for a period of time happily, I think.

Can't wait to see what ya'll do with this. I was just thinking a few weeks ago how it would be fun to do another one of these.

It looks very similar to one of my first maps. I think it's fine, but very simple. If you don't mind me adding a couple of tips... people typically don't like really big boxes or pyramids, they take up a lot of room and you can't do a whole lot with them. Try making some of those bigger objects smal...

I very much would like to play this. Very eye-candy-ish.

Uh... what does this have to do with bzflag?

Beautiful eye candy. I will definitely be playing here.
