this once again proves that i don't actually read the other posts

i found a rather interesting article about violence in games

CannonBallGuy wrote:There is already a PillBox league being "attached" to the ducati league, as we speak (from what I heard last...). The point of having to two combined was so they could share teams and users...

that "being made" has already been going on for ages

just to keep things clear for everyone:

this league will allow players to play matches on the adrenaline servers but also on the original pillbox map, so this also counts as a pillboxleague


24 players registered now, hopefully more to come

you already tried asking silverfox on the hepcat forums?

i had around 350 on pillbox and my highest on ducati was i think like 60 or 70. yeah, you only started playing for a high score on pillbox just to beat mine :evil: :D hmmm i wanna get 1000 on pillbox one day... nah, that'd give me a serious headache...hey sor, wanna play a "first to 500" ...

that post of yours looked so long i didn't even bother reading it

i've seen games that were uneven numerically but the team that had the least players actually slaughtered the other team, that's why i say: judge for yourself

like Phalanx said, each situation is different, you can't apply strict rules to the whole ctf thing. so i think the players have to judge for themselves whether it's a fair game or not. if it isn't a fair game, just switch teams (although most players don't want to switch, only because they have a n...

you make it sound like you both got depressed after that moment

hehehe imsorry, those rabbit hunts can be quite confusing the first time you play them :p anyway, about my nick. I'm a person who quickly grows tired of names and stuff, so normally, I'd have to change my callsign every single week (and that's why i never really bothered looking for an original name...

yup, same here

it's like PZ but you don't have to go through portals...but PZ is practically useless, so...

basically, it would be like this:

-every minute the defenders have the flag at their base, they would get 2 points
-if the attackers capture the flag, they get 10 points

every 30min the with the highest score is the winner and the teams will be switched
well, something like this...

Ok, so enough w/ the quoting stuff. I have a suggestion for a way to determine whether or not someone is experienced, if someone actally wants to go through w/ the "vet-only" server. But i don't want this to be for determining who's a vet or not, just who's less experienced and who's more...

yeah, welcome Mahdi

I kno there is. Some places have an idle time of only a min or so and it kills my score, cuz i frequently have to leave for a few minutes to do something... yeah, i remember on hepcat pillbox it was really short. sometimes, i would type a few messages and already got kicked because of idling.:p (bu...

sounds nice in theory but the strength index isn't that reliable in practice

enjoy

tnx cosmos

woah, nice... on that server tho, u can leave for a while and u wont get kicked for idling. ;) yeah, that's stupid. i've seen players who just stopped playing for more than an hour, leaving their team outnumbered because the server automatically adds more players to the other team. :roll: and they ...

That's one of the reasons CTF doesn't appeal to me as well as FFA with teams does. Either in CTF I'm on the losing team and know that unless I play for hours, we'll never be back on top, or I'm on the winning team and capturing the flag becomes pointless. i believe that it's the responsablility of ...

hehehe, knjiga is a really good server to improve your score.

a player i know reached +780 some time ago on that server (he played 8 straight hours )

iced wrote:Grassroots! i want it back!

i second that

it used to be one of my favourite servers before it vanished

i think bzflag main attraction is that the basic gameplay has been kept simple (we don't have to think about ammo or gasoline ;) and so on....) the shooting is the most important here so i don't really see the point in making us consider our amount of ammo and i also don't know if this addition woul...
