I sometimes do that when too teammates of each other are shooting at me and one of them richos the other and they both die while im in the air

my stupidest bzflag moment is when i destroyed my whole team when i had geno. i felt so bad.

a few minutes ago on badgerking's two green n00bs on either side of a paused red were frenetically shooting at him until the inevitable tk happened

I remember once when I was playing on Laser Mania, there was
a stealth that just got killed. just before he got killed, he shot a normal shot, appering to be still. well, I wanted to see if that was some sort of visual glitch, so I jumped into it. bad idea. the kill counted
I wish I got a screenshot of it!

I got a screenshot of a different still bullet, so you can see what it looked like. I didn't jump into this one, though

Yes, the still bullet phenomenon has been observed by several admins on Laser Mania. I have seen them appear where someone with SW has just died. I beleive HKK also has mentioned that she has seen them appear around SW use.

that's not right, is it? ah,well. things happen.

Here's a stupid/funny moment -

Can't remember game/server specifics, but I genoed my team by accientally shooting myself. Wow, I felt dumb. Still, a few days later I saw seomone else do it, so that made me feel a little better, but still... team geno AND self kill...

I just had a pretty good one...

I was at Planet MoFo FFA. scruffylookin had burrow (it's fast on planet mofo, not slow) and halfmanhalfamazing was chasing him with thief. They fell into a circular chase pattern, running into the center cake, around a corner, out, around the outside and back in the same tunnel again.

well, I had stealth, so I went ahead and hid myself in the tunnel, just around a corner, in their path. As expected, scruffylookin drove right under me and died, and out of luck I also managed to shoot halfmanhalfamzing in the face as he came charging down the tunnel.

It all happened in the space of about a second... the three of us had a good laugh.

That reminds me of the time I was at secretplace ffa. I was being chased by some purple with tiny, I think. Then the following 5 events happened:

1)Another puple came up(by jumping), and he had SW.
2)He fires the SW.
3)SW kills me
4)Tiny shoots SWer
5)Same SW hits him

I wonder if they each decreased 2 points each...
all this happened in less than 5 seconds.

And in Laser Mania, 2 STs lined up by the wall. They shot at me, and one hits the other.

Ah, the forced TK... (edited to add more)

i dont know on which server that happened but:

i had geno, 10 shots i think

hit enemy team 4 times, quite well, 6 shots left

then, i see another enemy guy, jump, shot while i am in him

BUT at the same time a different play (of my team this time) jumped, drove in that guy

that shot (of course) didnt hit the enemy but my mate, so i got tked (i got that gen just at the beginning)

4x8 kills = 32 kills / 5 = 7,4
9 TKs

=> kicked

On viper.pimpi.org, I spawned and thus had no flag. I saw one nearby, and a teammate of mine who already had a flag was sitting so close to it that he/she was touching it on the side, almost on top of it. I wanted a flag, so I went and picked it up; it turned out to be steamroller.

Anytime a newbee asks anything(how do i jump...)...I reply "try f12"

That always cracks me up!!

F12 is only funny when they ask a ridiculously obvious question (how do I turn off autopilot?)

My funniest moment was when I kicked 3 people in a row for suggesting to push F12 to drop a flag. (to someone who had just started playing and needed to know how to shoot, etc)

Heh , nice one td-linux.

Here's a funny moment that occured a while back when i was still learning GU.

I always used to forget which team im on (and yes , i still do sometimes). Well , once i was playing i think on the blue team. I accidentally shot at my teamie and killed him. He was a nice guy , and forgave me. Well then , we both spawned and got on with it. Evidentally he died again , because when i was driving a blue spawned right in front of me. Out of habit , i shot him and killed him. Turned out to be the same guy from the first time. He wasnt very happy anymore , but forgave me. Then , i was aiming for someone on another team when a blue drove in front of me. Obviously , i killed him , and can you guess who it was? Same guy. I was kicked for tking.

Hehe. You just weren't very lucky.

Me and Jack Hammer were on SilverCat in the Red Team (I think it was Overlord). We had came on within about 10 seconds of each other and we were sniping at the enemy base together - He tailgated me...

Later we spawned together at the pyramids, I found the Laser flag and proceeded to snipe - He ran into the beam...

Later again we were in the middle of a huge ground battle in the centre of the map, I think I shot him off the tower wall, but it might have been a straight hit...

We were playing well that day!

Haha, Sounds like something I did.

Boxy war, a beautiful day, 13 vs 13, (Im red) Reds owning blues,
I have geno, then a red (CL) and a blue came, (I was in the center, in
one of the triangular rooms.) Red jumps in, blue jumps in, I shoot at blue, blue jumps, bullet ricos off wall, I jump, Red jumps, bullets ricos off
pyr and, amazingly, at an angle, squarely hits the red CL.

On boxy war, we figured out that it was possible to make the poll basically say whatever you wanted it to say but with the word "to set" in front of it. Someone made it say "A poll to set my underwear on fire has been started..."

/me gets his flame thrower.

all these things happened to me in boxy war.

I kill a teammate with geno.
I hide geno in the SW corner. I went back 45 minutes later and the geno was still here.
I killed another teammate with geno.
I beated the malediction. Each time i tried to pass 100, there is always something happening around 95 like many tks with geno, not responding, time to leave and things like that.

Lot of fun in this server.

When I first started playing BZFlag I asked how to do something and I get the reply use F12. I only ever fell for it onve but i've seen someone fall for it about 5 times in a row!

another thing in boxy war

i had geno (again) and i shot a blue in front of me. then a red teammate came from somewhere and jumped on the blue. the 2 dude died and i killed 22 players in one shot. it was so funny. at least i killed all the blue campers
