That was on Secretplace, the night(/morning ) hundreds of people from slashdot descended on bzflag.

I could never get anywhere near that under normal circumstances though.

Grats on the score!

I beg to differ. There's always people there when I play and at times such as later in the evening or weekends it can reach 20-30 players.

I do agree with the rest of your post though.

Secretplace as of now could probably have been built back before 2.0 and it is usually 4th or 5th on the list.

While cool maps may be fun once in awhile, it's the functional, working class maps that keep people interested.

You can set it to always allow so it remembers that it should allow bzflag

You still can steamroller someone this way. Another way people get each other, is someone is on top of a thing box, and the person with SR jumps, hits the top, and the squish radius gets them, and boom they're dead. Seeing as Secretplace has many long raised causeways or "thing boxes" (:w...

and if they have a flag, u can see the flag sticking out over the building too. :) and around corners, if their gun is sticking out, sometimes you can shoot a bullet across it and they'll blow up :wink: Sometimes OO tanks in buildings have their gun pointing out and you can kill them. I also rememb...

Hannibal wrote:whoa, sounds like they are needed as at least an option again. they really would help.

not really needed now as the graphical bugs have been fixed. Would be cool as an option though.

I remember somtimes the tank graphic or the turret graphic wouldn't show up so my only target was the floating lights.

People are burning cars in my country because they are copycatting the riots in france as seen on TV

I saw it on TV and didn't go and burn cars, so obviously it isn't entirely because it was seen on TV.

Are you in Korea?

you spelled official wrong on the front page.

Was it so long ago that the people that now want to ban video games had their parents trying to keep them away from the "violence" of Rock and Roll? Games don't make people violent. PEOPLE make people violent. The worst BZFlag can evoke is the intense urge to throw green spheres at people...

that floaty clock thing is kinda of annoying.
Otherwise cool site

and beep is right. most decent-good players can eliminate most campers in short order. but the best camper ever is Wonko The Sane . period. end of discussion. I'll agree with that. People who only use GM or only use WG can get annoying. But conversely when people get killed by regular people with t...

C++ was the bzflag player I tried to mimic in order to become good

I voted for Java, because I am taking a course in it. Other than that I have no programming experience.

That looks sweet!

Funny thing is I actually live in the region of Massachusetts called Mystic Valley.

EDIT: Well me and Annhilator had a long talk today. He was having a bad day and I was beating him pretty badly. He aplogized to me for his actions. I in turn also was at fault for creating this thread. I was angry that he kept insulting me so I made a thread, that in effect, mocked him. I apologized...

Hello All. I just installed BZ 2.0.4 and played at secretplace for a while. I had burrow flag and was turning and all of a sudden, I got the mouse cursor on screen and bz no longer responded. I had to Ctrl-Alt-Del to get the process killed. I was being chased, and could have been near a block or so...

Who knows, though: It might just be that oh-so-frequent incedent when to players are both going for SR or BU. ;) Man that happened to me today, as well as me and a teammate mowing each other down when we both had wings while going for a rogue :( I have ceased to remember that a HUD even exists on m...

I saw "The Silent Swan" at Secretplace. He kept rejoining but I hunted him and killed him twice.

I am under the section "Getting your server on the public list"

Just randomly happened to be on the sever when the writer queried as an example.

I am mentioned in the creating a server page!

I'M FAMOUS!

Pwned

A Meteorite don't you think that sounds a little obvious?


So seriously RPG, want to switch passwords

If anything I'd fall into hobbyist, but I'm not as bad as most of those guys. I thought that site was amusing until I found the one about the guy who made love to his truck. :cry: Back on topic: I have been told that people play on Mofo under similiar names as mine. I guess as long as they're not tr...
