Constant tanks during finales. 1 alive at all times. It would be hilarious.

I was playing on the server tonight, and we started having problems with the map restarting or round restarting. It would show up halfway into a map and then hit at some point in every round until the map change. A player named 8e8 suggested it was because someone was console spamming the restart commands. If you want to check the logs, it happened on 1/13/13 between 3:30-4:00am EST.

This is happening again, 1/13/2013. 3:30-3:50ish PM EST. Demoner, I, and Lunk were on. A forced mapchange didn't correct it.

Going to cross-post this in the admin forum.

Its like coming back to your family's old homestead property...... and finding a low-income condo! (whatever that means). Its all ... pretty...and weird lookin... and the posts come up in some weird time related order instead of categories....Im so confused....

"Mommy..... who's that weird man in your bedroom??"

 

Edit.... you kept track of my posts and topics, but my super-uber-awesome avatar/sigs are gone.... *cries a little*....

Did nobody else say that your name is appropriate yet?

Heya, Laz.

I go by comedy and whose voices make me smile the most.

 

So the only ones i can think of are:

 

 

4. Chief (Denied)

 

 

All other slots to be filled by an open-mic competition at the Apollo.

 

Wow wow wow, Chief says WHAT now??

Edited. But he did say that once. So you totally should stalk him and skin him.

I go by comedy and whose voices make me smile the most.

So the only ones i can think of are:

1. Defiant (Sounds just like David Cross.)

2. Poutch (oh geeze come on guys)

3. Maestro (Hello!)

4. TheDude (Denied)

5. Stutters (would at least be hilarious to watch him play L4D2)

6. Lookback (especially in sarcastic mode)

7. Rumrunner (paaaaahk the caaaaaah in haaaaaaavaaaaad yaaaaaahd)

All other slots to be filled by an open-mic competition at the Apollo.

Fun game thread time!!! Alright so now it's fun fact weird fact time.

 

In this thread tell the gc world some fun or weird things about you.

 

You can comment on others weirdness but only nice things like wow or neato or double the weird double the fun.

 

Pick as many as you'd like to share about yourself.

My favorite word is fluffy.

 

I'm incredibly double-jointed, and I've been yelled at by two nobel prize winners.

I'm not sure you should make that sort of claim, then simply bring two names to the forums and say 'Please ban'.

 

It's very hard for me to tell just from the logs what happened, but it does seem that DeathTheKid is not new on the server. He was using the !buy commands, and there were several players asking him not to rush in chat.

 

I'm not so sure about Vladimir... from the few lines of chat that were there, he seemed new to me.

 

I've placed a 1-day ban on DeathTheKid--next time bring a little bit more evidence (more than just your word), this just doesn't support a permaban.

Oh, wasn't asking for a permaban, just whatever seemed appropriate. I guess since I was reporting on something that was already dated, it was kind of moot.

For something as simple as rushing, a supporting demo would help. I'm very reluctant to just go ahead and ban someone for rushing without the evidence, and who knows if they even speak English. Was it their first time on our server too?

I've seen Vladamir around before, don't know about DeathTheKid. I'm not sure what speaking English has to do with it. If you don't want to ban them, feel free not to. I'll get a demo next time.

On the other hand, I don't know what speaking English has to do with it. Rushers who don't speak English aren't really better than those who do. Probably worse, since they'll be harder to change.

Edit: Unload was on the server too and could attest to it, as was Kickstand.

Actually, I need two: Vladamir Shootin' and DeathTheKid. Both were warned about rushing, both rushed and abandoned the rest of their teammates far before there was any reason to. They rushed a very long way. This occurred at approximately 11:10 Friday 9/21.

I gave them several warnings, and offered them a chance to explain. They didn't do so.

Heya all.

i've had an interesting past two years-- got married, got divorced, started a startup, startup failed, wound up producing children's interactive media.

long story short: I'm back, and I'd like to rejoin

I paid the dues, but the final screen for paypal didn't confirm it. Can someone check and see if they got an app from me?

He's a long-time reg, so I'm sad about this one.

He: Camped with bomb in order to form a "ghey pyramid".

Told me not to be a douche bag when I told him to quit it when the lame jokes.

Spec exploited right after I asked him if he was a reg.

Was basically being a jerk.

Happened to me to, Zero. You're not alone.

 

how come you never talk about my curves like that?

You want me to say your curves are the perfect ugly point? 'cuz, man, you've got it.

Ah, well, color me embarrassed.

I put all that thought and stuff into stuff and look at what happened: Stuff!

And yeah, I'm done with my vacation. Hopefully no longer unemployed by the end of this week, too.

I'd honestly love DWP if they took armor out of the equation and made the curves either flatter or steeper-- they seem to have hit the perfect ugly point in the math for it.

DWP was back on the West server today.

I haven't posted about the DWP thing before, wanting to take some time to evaluate it.

It is my opinion that in its current formation it is, without question, horrible game design.

A ) Including armor in the price: As of today, armor and helmet was over $3000. This means the average no-killer on the winning team will not be able to afford armor and helmet.

B ) Higher prices means more gun camping. More players will be loathe to lose their guns in a defuse, a hostie rescue, etc. It means more camping in general, to the detriment of teamplay.

C ) Better players are rewarded. Only a consistently good player will be able to consistently afford armor and a helmet-- a good player with a helmet vs an average player without a helmet is not exactly fun.

DWP is an interesting concept, certainly. Anytime you have a market economy, something can be implemented that uses that market in order to make the gameplay leveled and interesting.

There is nothing about the current setup of DWP that achieves its actual purpose. Even taking the insanity of having armor (a universal necessity) fall under the same economy as weapons, the expensive weapons are ludicrously expensive, the "cheap" weapons are not very cheap at all. Whatever math is being used to set dynamic weapons pricing is failing out of the gate. What's more, as DWP continues in its current pyramid pricing status, more and more servers will turn it off, making the data sample of DWP pricing smaller and smaller.

I realize that CS:S is set up to reward good players for good play in the first place, but I think that DWP accelerates that reward to the point of nonsense. I don't see any reason for re-implementing DWP when nothing about the system has substantially changed since it was taken off.

Teamflashing, team attacking.

Got a wall hacker, lots of cussing.

No admins around. Sorry for spamming the channel.

spec exploting, teamshooting, continued to do so after being warned.

I've also been having really bizarre ping AND framerate problems recently.

And I dont' have time to concentrate on it before GDC.

ya i would go the route your going, worse case scenario just reformat, its always nice to get a clean install.

 

If you have never reformatted I think dell is including an image of the original shipped hard drive on a diff partiotion. You can just use that and put it back to factory defaults. I think you press F11 when you see the dell screen but i would call dell support or look on there site for the exact directions

 

Having an XPS gives you better support or diff support then the regular people i think, might as well try calling them.

Yeah, you get uber geek tech support.

The problem right now is that dxdiag is reporting a different driver version for the video card t han device manager. I'm 99% sure it's the fault of the driver-- but i'm going to need to work with the latest drivers for work.

I may fire up my old machine just to get a few frags in.

I've been getting a failure on initial launch of CSS for about a week now. I think it's related to the new Nvidia drivers that I installed for my 7800 GTX.

Any road, I'm going through the long, long, long road of uninstall/reinstall, attempt to fix drivers, muck around in general. Any generally useful advice is, of course, appreciated.

Specs on rig:

Inspiron XPS Gen 2

Pentium M 2.00 GZ

2056 RAM

GeForce GO 7800 GTX 256 MB

XP Pro

I've definitely noticed rubber banding-- mostly if not exclusively when switching weapons.

There was a tiny client-side update some time in the past week that was roughly the same time period.

As the cop said to me at the scene, "You made some crackhead real happy today".

Merry freaking christmas.

<sigh> It'll just be a week or two before I find it funny.

And yeah, it was my money.

I was carrying it in a bag on the way to the bank to deposit it.

Bag was snatched by a guy on a motorcycle.

his lucky day.
