That is entirely beside the point.  His comment, "I didn't know being banned from servers meant that you did something," was in response to a previous argument that his ban from numerous other servers meant he must have been doing something wrong.

I understood the argument well enough the first time, and I understood it even more when TheAdj took the time to explain himself to me on IRC. I don't need anyone else to explain it for me, I was merely stating the fact that we have no control over what happens on other servers while suggesting the server here as an alternative.

There are some pretty nice shots of lunar eclipses around the net, I think I might turn one into a wallpaper or something for the hell of it because it looks pretty cool.

I'm having a hard enough time finding a good hairdo, so finding a beard style would only add to the confusion.

I wouldn't think so scooter; I almost always play terrorist on Counterstrike, and (although there may or may not be a connection) in games where its humans vs something else, I usually go for the something else.

I have it set to the forum default because something about scrolling down and down and down and down through too many posts is kind of annoying, and I lose my place easily.

I never was too big on real time strategies, the whole thinging-really-fast and memorizing the hotkeys hasn't been all that entertaining. I liked the old Starcraft feel of just massing up a single unit and molesting the hell out of the enemy with them.

Offense chambers die quickly enough as it is without a single-shot über-seige, giving the marines such a grenade would really screw any possible alien structural defenses.

It's also entertaining to replace letters of one person's word with letters from another person's word so they end up with half-complete words like "dak" and "pons" and whatnot.  :lol:

There's black magic afoot!

Anyway, although I missed last night's eclipse due to the rain and clouds obscuring the sky, I did see one a few years ago. It's always cool to look up at the moon anyway, but to see it glowing red is amazing.

I advice you heed your own advice and drop your own attitude. Necrosis made a simple comment, but you're blowing it out of proportion and making implications that aren't there. There is no 'logic' about anything you've done in his statement; he didn't mention anything at all about aimbotting or hacking of any kind, yet you seem to have the ability to pull a deeper meaning of the statement from thin air.

We already know there are admins who will ban someone for being a good player, but you have to understand that whoever runs the server has the perogative to do as they wish. They're providing you with free service by allowing you to play there, and what they do is up to them. If you don't like a particular server, or you aren't able to play on a specific server for whatever reasons, just let it go; there are always other servers to play on. Whining to us that you've been banned from other servers is pointless because nobody here has any control over what the other server operators do or how they act. The rules and guidelines set here are set for a reason, but that doesn't mean you can't play here and enjoy yourself.

They can mutate and multiply all they want, they're still thousands of miles away from me, so I think I'm safe if they ever go on a flesh-eating rampage through the cities.

Definitely looks pretty odd, although it could be some genetically mutated fox that used to live near some kind of company chem labs where they dump their waste in the river. We should investigate and see if there's any way to mutate ourselves into something more interesting just for the hell of it.   :lol:

I kind of figured as much, but either way I don't care to deal with it. There should be an option I can check somewhere that says "I'm already planning on buying a package that comes with this game, stop pestering me about it".

20 damage per second is definitely too much, and if each marine had three grenades, they'd be able to cut through gorges and skulks like a hot knife through butter. Not like they don't with shotguns, but that's already being discussed. You would also have to take into consideration if the damage would stack if more than one grenade went off in the same area, because surely a marine could throw a second and probably the third into an area before the first one ran out. Plus, I wouldn't imagine the marines using it as an area deterrent; I see them all rushing and throwing the grenades directly onto the gorges, and we all know how quickly gorges die to rambos anyway if they don't have any kind of cover or defense through multiple offense chambers.

Three grenades per marine doesn't sound too bad, but including a long-duration, heavy-damage effect like that is too much. 20 damage per second is more than a deterrent; it's a major damage dealer. I know I shouldn't compare different games, but not even the napalm grenades in TFC do that much damage. The idea definitely needs more tweaknig before it could be considered seriously.

Try reading the first page :p

Shush you. I meant in the first post; there's too many beard images throughout the thread to discover one in particular.  :p

Plus I remember clicking on that image, but I didn't look at the name right away. Odd habit I have, I often don't check who the post is by.

Anyway, there could be better images for photoshop use. This is workable, but not all that great.
