Badgerking's Aerial and Ground Attack Server
204.56.5.208:5154
I'll try and monitor this list so you can post questions and comments here. I will probably respond more quickly to this list than to /report messages.
First, the server is ran on a pretty fast connection so it should always be playable. I plan on keeping it online 24x7 most times so it should also always be available.
The rules:
(1) Racial slurs, baiting, hate of any kind, gets you a ban. No exceptions.
(2) Swearing should be kept to a minimum. The server is ran by the graces of my employer and as such, I need you to abide by this and keep it a kid friendly place. I filter using a badwords list and will add anything that I consider remotely a bad word, especially if I get complaints. I will also ban repeat offenders.
(3) Team killing is bad. Don't do it. The ratio is 50% right now, which is MORE than lenient and you get autokicked if you do it more than that.
(4) No hack attempts on my server. I will ban your entire subnet if it happens.
(4) I expect comments to be constructive. If you think you have an improvement for game play PLEASE let me know. This forum is probably the best place.
Lastly, have fun. This is one of the best games you can play for free, or for pay, and it should be fun for beginners and old timers alike.

Registration required to talk
A few bad apples spoil the cart, or something like that.
In order to talk you gotta be registered now. You can still play unregistered but you won't be able to talk. You will still be able to send an admin message but that's it.

Badgerking FFA Cops Guidelines
Badgerking FFA Cops Guidelines
1) No cheating, period. I'm not talking about laggy players here, I'm talking authentic, hacked cheat clients. If you have indisputable proof then ban them permanently. If you aren't sure but suspect it, ban them for three days. Make sure you put in a descriptive message for the ban AND file a report so I know what is going on.
2) No racial, sexual, ethnic or religious slurs of any kind. I have very little tolerance for that type of behavior. This includes callsigns. Two warnings. First is a message in UPPERCASE letters. Second is a repeat message and accompanied by warning of a ban. Third time ban them for three days. If the offense if especially egregious, ban them permanently with no warnings.
3) Lag is a touchy subject. I run the server so that people can play, and I want the largest pool of players to be able to. So, here are my rules for lag.
a) No one over 400ms should be playing for long. The server gives three warnings. If you see a player rejoining repeatedly after getting lag kicked then warn them once and if they come back laggy, ban them for 30 minutes. If they repeatedly rejoin after being kicked for lag, ban them for a day.
b) Jitter as some call it, is harder and more subjective to judge. If you kick or ban someone for jitter, please record their lagstats in the message part of the command so I know why the action was taken AND so they know too. As long as the player's jitter is less than say, 1/4 of their lag, I leave them alone unless others complain.
c) No one should ever be kicked or banned when their lag is less than 400 ms and their jitter is less than 20. I don't usually do anything until their lag combined with their jitter is more than 400ms.
Finally, I read my log files and my report file daily. If you need to tell me something, use /report and I will see it.
I also log all my joins to a mysql database so I can run reports on utilization and this includes conversations. Nothing is private on my server, although I do X-out bad words in the database. If people have problems with your decisions, direct them to me.
Thanks,
Badgerking

It is related to the server change. Badgerking's was moved to a co-located server. For the last few days the provider has had obvious network problems (Boxy War was demolished off the listserver - it is hosted at the same place).
SSH, HTTP, Plesk, BZFS - anything network related (including pings) - go down during this time, yet as soon as you can access it uptime reports it's been going for days thus it indicates a network problem.

Lag Kicked
Hi Badgerking, right after you left the lag went nuts for everyone and kicked us all. Kitty
Hi badgerking,
First, nice site, fun game.
Second, a complaint about one of your admins, Dervish. For weeks I have been playing here under a name Kim Jong-Il. No one has ever objected, occasionally someone says 'greetings world leader!' or some such. I don't curse, I don't politicize and I don't even play especially well.
Dervish shows up, and kicks me with the message "No political names". (I'll leave off that that itself becomes impossible to halt, inasmuch as I can come up with political names that are pretty unknown in the english speaking world, and who would know?) When I signed back in to say "WTH?!" (inasmuch as Dervish has not identified himself in any way, and there is no published rule against a callsign like this) he kicks me again, this time with a ban of who knows how long. Many other admins - including on badgerking, have been fine with my callsign.
In the first place, this really is kind of an abusive, high-handed, petty-tyrannical kind of behavior. In the second place, can something this innocuous really be a problem? How insanely delicate have we become? In the third place, some kind of consistency would really be appreciated. It just seems wrong to have one rogue admin claim an authority than others do not.
So I'm writing to complain, to ask to have the ban lifted, and to suggest that someone tell dervish to take a pill!
thanks,
Kim....
And so, I'm writing to you

Aerial & Ground Attack is the only game of BZ flag I enj
Hope it's back online soon or else I go through withdrawal...
Not really, but I'll be less apt to play at all which might force me to make more constructive use of my downtime.
