Topic: Have to commend Dib

[el-Karnak]

I deny knowing anything about a server. Besides, lol, who are you kidding? Dizzy hosting a server. Are you out of your mind?

And, and, Karnak writing missions.  They prolly say do something silly like make you warp all over the map. Are you out of your mind?

BTW, Dizzy, don't forget to give SkyFlyer Positive Karma.

MILF

Stupid question time for the Frog.

What is MILF?

Is it the same thing as a MBA (Married But Available). *snicker*

Wow...........

Even I know what MILF means.  Ask SkyFlyer, I bet HE even knows. 

Yes I do... And I know a few too.

Mother I'd Like (to) Fondle

Dib, I'm not sure if your post was directed toward me or not, at first I was surprised that you SD and didn't know why.  Once I understood, I realized that you were doing the smart thing.. but that the rules are screwy.  That is in no way an insult to you. 

nah had i wanted to single you out i would have said so...

[[KBF]MuadDib]

...kind of like that match with scipio who decided to alt after the ai made a crippling blow...and decided to call it a ctd...come on...i am not a kid playing tag...nor am i stupid...or maybe you just think i am...

Easy up there, 'Dib.  I've still got the film if you want to see it.  It very clearly shows the bugged mission, as the AI flys off *through* several big rocks (without exploding) as it makes a straight line off the map.

-S'Cipio

i then apologize as my film would have shown 4 drones smacking into your #2 shield and then boom i went to desktop...no film for me 8(

too bad we didnt notice the split earlier on...sorry scipio

You know, after seeing 3 years of this BS, I think I am losing patience with players that don't really appreciate what they get.

You obviously don't have the tiniest clue how much work goes into making a server which is a monumental task for people with family like Dizzy. Most Admins. around here are single and have less RL responsiblities.  That's a material fact.

So, why don't you make up your mind if you really want Dizzy to run a server.  If you don't, then be brave enough to say so and clear the air. That way you will save Dizzy a lot of trouble.

If you don't want Dizzy to go to all the trouble of running a server cuz you don't like him for various reasons then I can respect that. But, you need to say it.

But, if you would like still play on his server while still hating him then that's simply wrong. Plain and simple.

At least, give him the courtesy to know so he's not be taken advantaged of when doing server.

Let me know if you have anymore questions on this issues. Bring some of your friends, if they feel the same way.

I'll be more than happy to E-X-P-L-A-I-N it to them. 

[Dizzy]

monumental

Aye.

Well said Karnak, but I think Dib was being facetious.

Um, I think Dib was making a joke about the "roid incident."   You are reading WAY too much into this.

 Perhaps you're right and perhap you're not. But, I felt a general warning shot was in order before Dizzy does something that won't be appreciated by the playerbase. Sometimes, admins. are letting themselves get abused by players that think they they are in-expendable.  Better not to do anything then.  No server, no potential risk of being taken advantaged of.

With other online communities, I give such posts the benefit of the doubt of being simply smart-a$$ talk looking for a cheap laugh. However, we must be realists here, this is the only gaming community where I've seen players actively boycott dynas for petty reasons, and some RMs were included too. All because of some silly forum flame-war. They did not care if dyna quality went down, as long as they got their way. Obviously, there was a dis-connect in player knowledge of what work goes into a server.

So, I take anything that smacks of "we're doing this to get you out of the game" seriously.  That kind of behavior is not acceptable.  Any RM or Admins. that lets a player do that on their server is not doing their job.

Why not increase the DV shift for the hex in PvP?

Instead of getting a 1 DV shift for winning a PvP, make it 2 or 5?

That will encourage people to fight to the death, and make an hours worth of battle worthwhile.

It will also make the defeated party think twice about returning to the same hex as they have just cost there side a huge
DV shift in that hex.

Problem is for alot of the suggestions I *believe* you need a functional SQL server
or the source code.
Neither of which we have.

Features that were developed and implemented in a SQL-enabled server over 2 years ago...

1.  Variable DV shift.  Beat the AI = 1 pt shift.  Beat another player = 10 pt shift.  Gives a whole new meaning to PvP victories. 

2.  Custom shipyards.  Races only build what they want and what they can afford economically.  granted, you had to buy/sell ships using the chat system, which was clunky, bit it worked.

3.  Bases could be set to destruct when their hex DV fell below a certain level.  For example, a starbase would remain on the map until the DV fell to below 5.   

4.  Map enforced LOS.  If you capture a hex for your race that does not border a hex already under your control, ownership of the hex stays neutral, but the DV automatically goes up to max.  So, you may not capture the hex, but you deny the previous owner that hex as well. 

Unfortunately, the max player load on any of the servers that used this stuff was 16.  So, this cannot be considered a valid load test.  It was also done using EAW, after the majority had moved on to OP, so it had virtually no support from this playerbase.       

All of this was done without the benefit of the source code.  So...as Spock would say 'There are always possibilities.'

LOL@ Karnak... well said again.

I think we have grown up a bit since then. Not too much tho. Everyone should
