That is... possible, and I don't immediately see anything wrong with it. It sounds like a pretty good idea to me, although don't get mad if one of the meanie developers come to snipe you down.

Took me about 30 to get my 101 in bloodbath, maybe 40 for mw2... and at least an hour 30 for mofo, its a lot harder without geno...

Oh and it took me 10 to get -650 on a phoenix server with instantaneous respawn times, so -101 is a snap...

fluffy you don't have to actually test it from ibzedit, just take a screenshot of the map in ibzedit.

Sorry Marzipan, I don't think lasermania will be coming back. Just like boxy and bloodbath, it was at the top of the list for a long time, but once its done its done. Missile wars 2 is the most popular one at the moment, but it seems to be on its way down. Who knows, maybe once that one is done one ...

I like the vertical velocity flag, just like ricochet and jumping, it could become more than just a server option. Not so sure about the second idea, mainly just because it doesn't seem all that useful. The built in binoculars already are good enough. But I think the first one is definitely a good i...

Jeez, thats 7 kills per minute! You must have really been on a roll.

Yep, the only way to advance in rank is to do something really special, improving the game somehow, like finding a way to completely get rid of cheaters. The only way to get a cool custom rank and insignia like l4m3r or winny is to be a real bzflag developer I think, so don't get your hopes up on on...

Please provide screenshots. Most people who want to look at and comment on your map don't want to have to download, open, and test it. Thanks.

Ok fair enough, I guess that won't work too well. Still, what map are you going to use?

Don't worry about being bad in the leagues, you'll get better the more you play. Do a couple fun matches to get the hang of it, then just keep playing with your team and you'll be great in no time.

Welcome to this fabulous game where tanks fly, turn invisible, and defy the laws of physics! Have fun, and don't worry about your score, you will get a lot better as time goes on. Concentrate on learning, and your score will naturally improve. Also, playing on Two Tanks is good, but also try and pla...

We BzFlag brainwashers are never wrong! You'll be back...

But for the time being, goodbye, we'll miss you .

There is nothing wrong with symmetry in maps. Most good maps are. And "blindingly reflective" doesn't make any sense. Can you clarify?

That is very good for a first map if you just made it in a text editor... congratulations.

Wait a minute.... is this going to be a new map? So far I have seen 2 seperate maps called "paintball." Is this going to be a new map or one of those? But anyways, no matter what map it is, I have an idea to make it more interesting, not just another ctf league. We should use a plugin (mak...

I reccomend that you join the GU league first, it will help you build your skills quite a lot, because it includes everything that's in most normal maps, except superflags.

Ahh yes I remember A Looney Kumquat... (I never got your avatar btw...)
Welcome back!

I love the paintball map, and it seems great for a league. However, I think it would be better to take out the superflags for match servers. If you do make one, I'd be in.

Remember, league membership is not limited to just one! If you join all 3 of the major ones (Pillbox, Ducati, and GU), you will probably find that you will get better very quickly once you start playing in fun matches and the like. Once you get the hang of the map, you can join a team and have even ...

Having a score in the negatives definitely does NOT mean you are a 0/10. You could be having a down day, or have not warmed up yet. Even if you always have negatives, you are still learning, so therefore you are better than a player who has just started the game for a the first time. *That* is proba...

I'd like to add something to that: Having the radar large is good, but big bullets are not. Make them about 1 notch above minimum, you can still see them fine, but having big radar bullets makes dodging hard as only the center of that bullets really matters. If they are too hard to see, try increasi...

Yes, I also remember a kumquat, although he wasn't flying... but whoever you may be, welcome back.

Excellent map, great playability. It reminds me of HiX, a lot of GU leaguers will like this one.

Looks like a good map, although some screenshots of the interior would be nice. But PLEASE, if you want people to respect you (and have a greater chance of hosting your map), spell your words right, and capitalize "I" and the first letter of a sentence. This is a forum, not a chatroom, and...

Great map! Only thing that could be better is to put limited shots on geno. With the bullets so fast its easy to spawnkill geno over and over again. And I have an idea..... Maybe you could get a plugin that would make it so when you shoot a tank, it turns your color, and when all the players are one...
