Blast is not talking about forgetting to ban, he's trying to explain that banning an admin turned out to be a complicated process. Even when he was banned he could still join servers and speak. The reason we didn't know about this before is that Admins are generally very well behaved, and so we didn...

I'm glad that this issue is being discussed. It's far better to have these things discussed in the open than whispered in corridors. Firstly, if you need to resort to bad language in order to be funny, then you need new material. As for warnings, if somebody uses offensive language each game until t...

The reason I suggest the log function instead of simply 2/3 is because generally the team leading at the 20 minute mark is more likely to still be leading at the 30 minute mark. So it should get a percent of the points closer to the standard 30 minutes. Same premise as if hour matches were allowed,...

I'll make it short and simple. Should we allow 20 minute matches? If so, then in what way? It would probably result in more activity etc., so for the most part there is agreement among admins that this is a good idea, but there are differences when it comes to how it should be implemented. This is w...

No I'm the original pillbox.
I too have moved and forgot my password and changed my email address.
Is there any way to figure out which of us is lying?

I only match brad (when he's drunk)

How about a 24 hour match, with a minimum of 2 Vs 2. You apply to play, giving a time-range that would suit you, and you are randomly given a team. You co-ordinate with the team captains (number depends on how many required to cover all 24 hours) to let them know when you will be available to play. ...

Congratulations to Kierra & R3lax and the U.S. team.
A well deserved win.

My inexperience in Rikers was obvious. I never dreamed it would be so difficult to send a message to an individual. It took a minute just to find their name in the list.
We'll get you next time.

Why would anyone want this feature anyway? It adds nothing.
Unless you want multiple observers, so that you can see what your enemy sees and circumvent ST flag etc.

Ooh! Trash-talk!
We do our talking on the battlefield.
Bring ear-plugs. It will be loud, punishing and relentless. (until we're so far ahead you'll need Google to find us)

I'm getting excited about it already
So Kierra, will the Barons be coming out to play?

See you again at the end of the universe Zaph. We can share a couple of pan galactic gargle blasters.
P.S. sent you a GUMail.

Same here.

Apparently the domain name has expired.
But it's yours for $10.99/year.

800m? I didn't realise that we dealt with real-world measurements in the map. Thought it was just arbitrary units in 3 dimensions. Oh well. It was fun while it lasted.

If you take player lag into account, light is still faster ;) You're forgetting that the BZWorld is actually viewed in scale and that the HIX map is almost 45 light-seconds across. Frankly I'm amazed at the acceleration of the tanks. If it wasn't for their minuscule mass, they'd explode just by mov...

"that stuff" that has been reported to apparently travel faster than light are some type of neutrinos (actually, a minuscule proportion of them), and there are serious doubts in the scientific community that the experiment is correct. And there are good reasons to think so. We already hav...

try skipping the autogen step.
just run ./configure and then make after unpacking the sources.

In general the first error is the important one and the following errors are collateral damage.

I'll druck my Daumen for you.

Listing a server as an official GU League Server is a big deal. The owner needs to be an Admin so that they can control access and keep cheaters and trouble-makers away. Admins get access to a private discussion forum where there is confidential information that all admins and server owners need to ...

Well this error seems to have been resolved.

BTW. Will the old skin for the forum be returned or will we be keeping the default blue?
The sky is very grey here in Ireland at the moment, so the blue is welcome, but I miss the old skin.

I clicked on the View more smilies , while trying to compose a reply to a PM and got the following error: General Error SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ] Invalid use of group function [1111] An SQL error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact the Board Administrator if this problem persists. Please no...

I agree with you JeffM, but FangUp said it was for his own map that he wanted this exploit for, so in this case the map developer wants it. I learned a lot about exploits while helping Zaphod with his Soccer Map. I couldn't believe how easy it was for pro players to circumvent the requirement for th...

Ah! You want a shortcut using exploits that only known to power-users that know about. Evil. There are ways to get through walls like that without F5 though. Not sure if it still works with the latest version. One way was to get sealed into the wall and then pass through by driving in the opposite d...

A plugin can not convert a player to an observer. But you could spawn them in a spectator area, where they can do no harm. Or they could continually be spawned in "Hell" where they are killed by a World Weapon. After which it would be more fun for them to voluntarily go to observer mode. ...

Why stop there? The economy is in ruins too.

Just cosmetic, but easily reproducible.

Sent a message to "player x" : "/me is a thief"
player x saw "FiringSquad is a thief"
