Q1: i do not play any other games besides BZ. i used to play UT2003 and Quake over bzflag earlier this year, but found it the same as quake after some time. i even bought UT2003 but simply quit playing that game. Q2: i play BZ over other games because of its simplicity and elegance. the game has ver...

yeah now its down for possibly good eh? this is the message on the website:
"Ladder is down. Not sure when or if it will be up again."

hey [dmp],

noticed the ladder has changed alot regarding kill ratios. is there a new formula or just a cleanup?

all the super high ratios are gone, and seemingly its more ctf or ducati 5155 (FFA) ratios seem to be the major players. sup sup??

tnx
sm

Gerbil i feel your pain. i've been playing alot on alive.hashmark myself under various names. the MAIN reason is that i have caught 2 cheaters so far. one was your typical blatant flying tank or "air" jump type of cheat. the other i noticed last year, and is much harder to catch unless eit...

i think CapN and i should do some 1v1 like the ole days ehhhh cappy!!!! hehe
good to see ya last night, but i seemed very lagged there.

yeah if the game gets to your head, then turn off the puter, take a deep breath, life is short (the real one) so have a smile.

baron,

already took care of kicking your butt

and don't drop that soap bar hehehe.

good luck man

getting back to chestals post: once this worked for me in an official match. our flag was on its way to the opponents base, so i killed myself pretty far across the field. the spawn placed me close enough to make the shot and stop the score. so another example of suicide + spawn.... why don't any of...

hehe...i voted the middle selection. BECAUSE, i am guilty of this move waaaaaay back in the time when i used to play league CTF matches. no rules on this tactic, so its clearly something allowed until dev's address it eh?

sm

i thought the loops were robots??

i'm pretty ruthless myself, if the shot is good on the stealth, i'll try to take that stealth out first. then try to get that unstealthed target next if he is still around. even when other stealths are after a camper and i'll take them out if i can, i have this "you took too long!" reasoni...

ahh no wonder i suck at bz these days my aim has been off hehehehe!!

hmmm...after taking a look razz, i'm with you. the target box is resized and long sniper shots harder to sight-in. good catch.

sm

i havn't gone to g2. i think i'm gonna stay with g1 until i kicked off servers for it.


sm

i like the way chik talks...its easier for me to read

it makes for some fun possibilites doesn't it spiff

i can imagine a game with no shots, but pitfalls or tank traps that you could bump someone into...bumpertanks!!
hehehe

sm

exactly what i was thinking chestal. maybe a new gamestyle called "bumper tanks" that are like bumper cars. and this thought occured to me while playing on ducati CTF, when in close combat with another tank. when in these situations, like yourself, i often drive through the other tank to a...

sorry if posted in the wrong area. i am curious about bz tank behavior on the field. two tanks can pass through each other, that is, drive right through one another. would it be difficult to make tanks "bump" off each other? as an example, pyramids that you can NOT drive through. when you ...

koba,
that pic would make a cool tattoo.


sm

good point razz, CTF already suffers from teams hardly ever being balanced. when you have people running flags 4 reds to 2 greens etc, then its only gonna get people more mad than it already does for them to recieve 5-10 points. but i see your point on ducati 5156 style CTF, it does seem like red vs...

i had email from oma last year, was doing fine but very busy.
meanwhile, i think i'll embellish some in some memories. hehe

sm

i have an idea on how high scores could suddenly appear. should i post it here?

sm

we are still on for beer when you come back to the states right frank????

sm

well almost... the green tank is busy with a space project last time we talked. bzfrank and oma i have seen even less than kono!

i'm 100% rogue, so #1 is my game.

but if i have the keys to a server, #4 is applicable. what is evil? for me its cheaters they will get quickly banned
....bad mouth players i would only kick if other players wanted.

sm

on the bzizzle?

i thought clans/teams in bz were already a form of gang activity? the HOW vs TSD thread reminded me of some turf warfare talk. j/k
was a good thread hehehe.

skinable tanks....the future looks good for bz.
