Mapping / Lm Community Made Map

QuoteIf you ask Deci, he wouldn't respond because he's been doing that 'real Life' thing lately.Well if you get it finished you will have pretty much the most hardcore playtest whores you have ever seen.
If you ask Bill, he'd say that Dubbilex needs to get off his lazy arse and make a hive.
If you ask me, I would say that I'm getting to it, damn it :p
We've hit the fundamental limit of the Half-Life engine, brushwise, so we've cut down a lot and have rebuilt a lot. In conclusion, if I get really inspired and Bill does too, we could have this done within the month. And even then it will be an alpha, and as such will require a lot of testing and balancing. Oh we're just getting started - spending a year making the flipping map is only the first part.[snapback]45698[/snapback][snapback]45737[/snapback]

Infidel.
I've played with Mr. Pie before, he's a good fade and a nice shot as well. Nice bloke, far as I can tell.
And, you raise a lot of good points, which I'm far too tired to respond to. Perhaps later I'll edit this post and make it less useless.

General / Pressure Control
« on: May 23, 2005, 08:50:13 PM »Quote
People need to understand what spawncamping is. Spawncamping is sitting in a hive, doing nothing but waxing every skulk that spawns in. Setting up a siege point in the hallway in Pressure isnt spawncamping. For the record, there are 3 exits to pressure. The direct route down the hall, and a vent to either side. A crafty skulk could charge down the middle and make it out clean. It's much easier to take the vents. However, I do have to agree with the fact that if aliens are DUMB enough to let rines start setting up a siege RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR ONLY HIVE, then they deserve whats coming to them.
But so long as the rines are doing their job and building like good boys and girls, its not spawncamping, no matter how much the alien team whines about it. Plain and simple.
Edit: seeing what esuna said about this Force guy, i'd have to say that's spawncamping. You cant sit in the hive and pop off every spawner while your team builds. You have to be back with the team, providing COVER. What force did constitutes spawncamping. If he had been near the TF and covering the builders, it wouldnt have been.[snapback]49307[/snapback]
That's where you get into some gray area. Who says that with his field of fire, he wasn't covering the builders?
IMO, if you being in the hive room serves a purpose other than just getting random kills and jamming their spawn Queue, all the more power to you. If you're there with your team, I should think that the lesser evil of capping spawners would overshadow the greater one of denying a marine team of a victory well-played because of an arbitrary rule, or perhaps even just prolonging the game.

By the way, has anyone heard anything about Eps. 7,8,9? George Lucas said he was pretty much done with star wars after this, but there have been rumors about leaked storyboards from episode 7, and many of the castmembers from episode 3 have said that there were other starwars projects in the works.[snapback]49087[/snapback]
I hadn't heard anything about that, but I'd love to see someone do the Thrawn series.

Woah. Dude.
By the way, someone asked me the other day how I roll.
Mother****er, THAT'S how I roll.
Full plate armor, and a pimped out warhorse. With my shield out, I get 4500 armor and 51.5% DR. And still 70 DPS, with a 200 point burst every 30 seconds.
With my 2h, I rip things in half.

General / Recent Reserved Slot removals
« on: May 07, 2005, 06:35:41 PM »
This is hardly the unanimous action that we were told it was.
Which one is it, guys?
You say that if we knew all of his offenses, we'd agree with you. I trust you on that, but show us. It's the only well to quell this kind of criticism.
On a related issue: On the whole, you guys are doing a bang-up job. However, it seems that in the minority of cases where a popular reserved slotter is being banned nobody in the community seems to think it was warrented; it also seems like the admins all have a very good idea about what happened.
Take Saltzbad as an example. Now, Saltz was an asshole (I joined [RR] for all of two weeks before I couldn't take his obnoxious HAL-9000 voice over vox anymore) but there was still a widespread (though hardly universal) outpouring of support.
We all know that Saltz, in addition to being an asshole, also broke a lot of server rules, and should have been banned. However, the community wasn't presented with a list of his transgressions, and as such, bad blood ensued.
In my opinion, (and I say this in full knowledge it's private webspace) the collective group of admins, upon banning a reserved slotter, need to post the deliberations that resulted in that action in a public location. Even if it's just the slotter forum, the fact of the matter is that you guys complain that we're making your job harder because we don't know the workings of a system we aren't a part of.
Lets face it boys (and girls), lunixmonster is no longer a small group of buddies held together by a generous server donation. Instead, it's a group of friends, held together by those same friendships. We're here because we love this community, and we realize it's the best of what's around.
I think that's awesome, but I also think that we need to be better. A few months ago (before WoW captivated my soul. Again.) when LB was having public doubts about the continued existance of this community, I drafted the attached up as a way to keep things going if he, or anyone else important decided they just didn't want to do it anymore.
The attached is a reflection of my ideal community, one I'd gladly pay 2 WoW accounts-worth of money for to be a part of. I can only hope that we can all agree on that, and create some positive change.

He most likely is one of those nuts that re-partitioned, as soon as he got it, booting from a D drive and having his Steam folder near the faster center of the disk.
Or he just sucks at storage, either of the two.

I thought software drivers and opted not to read this... then I was amazed at the number of replies and decided it must be something good (or just full of spam).
It made me laugh... Good job!
But I must ask... why were you in the left lane if you weren't passing anyone? I mean if you could mouth 'lets go' and he was going to race you, that implies to me that there were no cars in front of you once you moved over. I have to say that I hate people who camp in the left lane when there are no cars in the next lane over and someone is creeping up behind them. HATE HATE HATE.[snapback]47242[/snapback]
Because in the middle of the day on this particular 3-lane highway, the other two lanes have senior citizens going sub-65.
