After Secretplace got that huge map, it just took the life away from the game. I expect it to die out soon. Yes, it's sad, but change is not always good. My suggestion: put the old map back. Do you mean the newest change? Or the one they implemented when 2.0 came out. I completely agree though, Sec...

I voted that yes BZflag is a violent game. There is shooting and blowing up and lasers and machine guns. It certainly however is not very violent compared to most games. It is more of a friendly, competetive violence, like football. On the subject in general, I am extremely against any censorship. I...

that was 6 and a half hours of straight playing when secretplace was swamped with noobs from slashdot. One genocide flag could net you 50 points and the score list contained so many people it was off the screen. I believe my ratio was somewhere around 1400-400, which isn't that great. I did once get...

My secretplace high score

That's unedited and not created using bots.

Or we could just have a poll on the forums. :roll: That's what I meant :wink: In response to your post, Red Baron, I do agree that it is a very hard thing to judge. However, we could do it like sports decide on the MVP. Gather a wide range of experts on bzflag and have them vote. If the people voti...

Polls could be run to decide or at least help decide on some of these categories.

yeah hehe I fell for the f12 thing

the admin banned the perpetrator though

It's always funny when you either have a long duel or are gearing up for a long duel with a good player, then watch them blow themselves up.

I used to play at Mad city waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back at the dawn of time. But now secretplace has stolen my heart.

I agree with you completely Green Manalishi. Although I play free-for-all, where it is less team oriented, I've found that if you are civil to your teammates, it creates a more positive atmosphere. It's more pleasant to be told "the flag is stolen, let's get it back" than "Hey [insert...

That sounds really cool. I'd love to get in that FFA contest. However, I'm out all next week until Saturday afternoon.

Just because people know the swear words, doesn't mean that it still isn't pleasant to hear them. If we were all playing in the same room within earshot of each other, I wouldn't care because obviously it's a competitive game and swears come out naturally as you said. I know I swear at the computer ...

If I am swearing, then nobody can see what I said, so why do they need to tell me not to swear? Because if they don't stop you you may continue, which may cause others to do it as well, which will start to spam the server. The way I see it they are nipping it in the bud. Also if you say something l...

It all depends on the situation. The few times I've been thiefed it's been by a poor noob who hasn't quite figured out that shooting your own teammates is bad. I gently set them staight as best I can. As for an intentional thief, well I can't say what I'd do as it has never happened to me. But I wou...

Don't if you value your eyes. I made that mistake once.

Wow, The Vet, I always thought you meant that you were HKK's "Veteran" not "Veterinarian" hehe.

This wasn't that funny at the time, but looking at it is a little amusing. So I was on Secretplace, and I had SR. I was going down one of those long platforms in secretplace, when I saw a teammate with SW right ahead of me. Not wanting to kill him, I tried to jump over him. He proceeded to jump into...

A few years back my friend told this terrible joke that went something like this: "What do you call an oreo who skips class? A cookiecutter!" I stupidly laughed and since then it has been my (rarely used) nickname in real life. When I started playing bzflag seriously it was just natural to...

Purple: Padres, Brewers

Red: RED SOX , Reds, Phillies, Nationals

Blue: Blue Jays, Twins,

Green: Marlins, Mariners, Devil Rays

Rogue: Giants, Orioles

Yes, I am a baseball fan(atic)

I didn't say all players are good, just some of the player I play with. *shudder* cookiecutter*shudder* ;) bwhahahaha :twisted: Legolas, were you there on April fools day when secretplace was 1 shot? I got my behind kicked. :roll: Anyway come to secretplace and I may have to cut some cookies 8)

FFA

My goal really is to kill and get a nice score, the flag for me would just be a distraction.

I know that secretplace has an extremely strict language filter and the admins are very tough on people who swear.

I am surprised that ten year olds like the game. It is kind of frustrating and hard to maneuver at first compated to more mainstream shooters.

Boston, MA

Go Sox!

At secretplace where I play wings used to have something ridiculous like 15 flaps and in the hands of a decent player it was unkillable. Now it is down to three. It is still very good but can be killed if you know what to do. So basically as others said, its really the server settings that make it t...

I would say laser, because it is point and kill. No having to correct for range and the ricochet is amazing.
