I was the main person to blame for the Star Wars/Matrix crossover. The rest of 'em are too chicken to tell you that we also had some rather good Matr/Dr. Suess poetry going. And, of course, we were planning a complete screenplay entitle Matrix wars IV: Revenge of the Smith I am Smith I am, And figh...

At first, I was Flying Felix, which was my typical screenname for a lot of my internet haunts. Being new, I got killed alot. However, one name always stuck out at me during this phase; High Karate Kitty. So one day after getting shot by her for the 100th time, I wrote: Me: "Cats shouldn't play ...

I like the partial blindness flag idea (can't see map, but can see tanks), it's almost like 'colorblindness'. It would especially be great for maps with many pitfalls/buildings. Meanwhile, a lot of players I've talked to have often wished for a rouge geno. Especially for FFA games with lots of rogue...

when, on mofo from like midnight to 1am, BIYA, L4m3r, me, and passion of the tank were discussing how BIYA had slipped on ice and then sued the school district and won.

The funniest moments on BZ to me: - When the 10-player Blue team got genoed in secretplace, right when they had Shockwave, Guided Missle, Laser and had declared the NW corner of the map as "The Blue Territories". - Challenging Gone To Pern to a Five-Fingered Duel (first to five kills on th...

Being an open source code, students would be more engaged since they get to see the program compile directly into the game and get to play with the code themselves. The only problem is that I would want to restrict the class to...

A while ago, a couple of us secretplace players were discussing alternative team names. We came up with this: Red - Tomatoes, Meat Green - Beans, Peas Blue - Blueberries Purple - Grapes Rogue - Cremated Corn (Black on the outside, yellow inside) Other that 'those @#^&head ^@&#s that just gen...

Lets see you do the tank dance first so we know it's actually possible :). I tired it with four other guys, Ice Drake, Men Without Hats, and two other I can't remember. Everyone kept shooting us though. but we still got something. Hmm, synchronizing players. That will make it more interesting. I ju...

BZ Players, I challenge you to perform the Tank Dance: 1. Line up as many tanks as you can facing in the same direction. 2. Do the Tank Dance: 1. Move forward. 2. Move backwards. 3. Turn left. 4. Turn right. 5. Jump. 6. Shoot three times when you land. 7. Jump again. 8. Have a laser at the end of th...
