What do you think?

Sounds like LM alright!

Looks like LM would qualify. Dunno if we field 16 players consistently, but I guess we're close enough. It's LB's server, so it's his decision. Hope he notices this.

LB is a playtester himself; he should already know about this...if he weren't ROing :/

Isn't Firewater the asshat that was banned from #lunixmonster for, well, being an asshat?

Oh Firewater, when will it end?

Yes, anything with firewater involved is highly unlikely to get the go ahead around here. He's just pissed off too many people in power.

Is this approved by the dev team?
Title: Natural Selection Tweaks
Post by: Lito on July 01, 2004, 11:15:19 AM
well i skimmed through it before i created the thread, but apparently its his own ideas.  I don't think its approved by devs, so my mistake.

Erm... Stak, slow down there. FW is no official representative of the devs, nor is voog. Please don't throw yourself at their throats for not including something in beta five, which they have only indirect influence in.


but the LM does fit the bill
Title: Natural Selection Tweaks
Post by: JHunz on July 01, 2004, 11:56:14 AM
The LM would not fit the bill.  We'd have to give a reserve slot to FW, and he's been banned for ages.  Unless we suddenly decided we needed more drama in our lives, that's not likely to change.

I don't see the harm of putting up with FW for a couple weeks, although I agree on his asshatness.  Non-provokation is the key, and hey, we get to provide stong feedback to the NS team. I'd certainly like to see a LM influence in beta5
Title: Natural Selection Tweaks
Post by: Diablus on July 02, 2004, 07:20:30 PM
yea, we could in theory also have a small say in suggestions for NS devs in B5... it could make LM prosper even more.
Title: Natural Selection Tweaks
Post by: Grimm on July 02, 2004, 08:27:19 PM
Ah ha ha ha hahahahahaha!  :lol:

You guys seriously think anything anyone outside of the dev team says or does will really influence the outcome of beta 5? Come on, it's Flayra we're talking about here; You'd have a better chance at convincing your monitor to get up fetch you a soda than getting him to consider any suggestions outside of his or the dev team's.

Hell, for all we know he doesn't even listen to the rest of the dev team.  :lol:

Go for it.  definitely.  This is not about Firewater and LM, this is about NS.  Remember that, and just give Firewater a nice happy "Piss off" if he bugs you, and all things will go perfectly!

Okay, I have to say something before I snap:

From the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary (http://www.webster.com/):

Definite: Pronunciation: 'de-f&-nit, 'def-n&t,  Function: adjective; 1 : having distinct or certain limits <set definite standards for pupils to meet> 2 a : free of all ambiguity, uncertainty, or obscurity <demanded a definite answer> b : Unquestionable, decided <the quarterback was a definite hero today> 3 : typically designating an identified or immediately identifiable person or thing <the definite article the>... adverb: def·i·nite·ly

Definitely is composed of three parts: "de" and "finite" and "ly". It isn't "definitely", despite the fact that everybody under the sun online spells it that way, it's "definitely". I don't understand why nobody online can understand that.

... This isnt even supported by the dev team.. Why do you think they would listen?
Title: Natural Selection Tweaks
Post by: lolfighter on July 03, 2004, 08:54:30 AM
Yes Grimm, you're definately right about that. >:D Not worth throwing a fuss over over though, so chill out. We were flaming Firewater here, not people who spell definitely wrong.
This is not a question of putting up with FW for a few weeks, though. It's a question of which admin would ban him first if he was allowed on the server again.

I will have you know, my monitor is hignly trained at collecting sodas from the fridge, and flayra did actually implement one of my ideas into NS. Sorry, it is my fault that stomp exists. (Well, I happened to mention that if an onos jumped, it should send out a shockwave on landing that paralyses nearby marines, so I think that qualifies.)

Instad of going straight to flayra, you need to mention it to one of the people he talkes with regularyl, like Joev or Nem or Coil, some guy who flayra trusts. If they like it, they will mention it to flayra, and he will listen to them. (possibly)




(maybe)




(ok, it's not going to happen)

Heh.

It'd be great if this was Lunix- I was planning on my server(if I ever got one) to do as much balancing as possible of my own- modifying numbers and the such. But this would be official!
