Section 3: New Matching possibilities. [...] To recap Admirarch: It makes match scores meaningless. This can be fixed, if scores are recorded as normalized scores, eg. as ratios, so instead of Team A: 6 - Team B: 4 scores could be Team A: 6/(6+4)=0.60 - Team B: 4/(6+4)=0.40 Then after 3 matches, th...

In addition to wanting to hear issues from the players, we find it helpful to hear potential solutions as well. In the event someone misbehaves, what do you, the players, think should happen to that person? Clearly, many factors must be taken into account, but what is the range of actions that shou...

I like the idea!
But could we please make it a large pointy hat saying "Dunce", and also put a big, red clown nose on the cannons tip too?!?

it was on purpos and no offsense but r u an english teacher I don't think you have to be an english teacher to be annoyed by bad grammar :-) I also find it hard to read your posts, and the message totally vanishes when I'm constantly forced to realtime-correct your post while reading.

Hi, Yesterday I threw 7-8 bots at a hepcat.org server. It was an accident, I've got 2 icons for BZFlag, and I picked the wrong one (the one I use for solo playing), and connected to hepcat. Before I realized what was going on, I was banned (which was totally OK, since I probably was ruining the game...

I use the arrow keys on my iBook keyboard where have a trackpad but no mouse. I first started on an iMac with a mouse but I'd never played a game with a mouse like this before, so keys felt safer, then I got the laptop and much prefer to use a trackpad over a mouse for normal computing so have no w...

Dodging is always easier with a mouse? Yeah... Right. 'cause everyone is the same and has the same mouse and mouse settings, obviously. IIRC, you have shot me a couple of times - that is, if there is some correspondence between your forum name and gaming names. I've wondered what was best for dodgi...

... consider definitions of rogue: # An unprincipled, deceitful, and unreliable person; a scoundrel or rascal. ... rogue players are not team players.. Since a rogue is unprincipled, he cannot have a principle about always being alone ;-) And just because you're on the same team doesn't mean they c...

Hi all,

My call sign is goblin. That's because I'm a goblin.

That's pretty much my story.

Can you make allies... ? I like the idea, it adds a dynamic new strategic dimension to the gameplay. I'm thinking in ways of the toad-old game MegaLoMania . I think it's important to distinguish between alliances and teams , ie. teams are a constant factor in the game, but alliences can be formed a...

Thanks for the input - I'll take a closer look at this one then. The Wiki entries I've started creating will be a bit more atomized in their nature than Shellshock, since Wikis tend to have that effect on documentation.

Thank you. I think the Wiki is the right place for this info, so I'll try to update it with the info I find.

Hi, I'm fairly new at BZFlag, and thus not very good at it yet. I would like to be a lot better. Are there any suggested learning paths? I've seen this posting, giving advice about not jumping, because the poster wants better competetion. Cool. So is there a playstyle and tactics howto somewhere, co...
