happy birthday sicko Richo!

Miss Rude yes but Cross don't think so!

Frag like you I have seen many of these players and when you tell them they say I know and keep going. When they know and they don't care makes me really wonder what's going on. Are there any solutions that can be done say from a server management position. Things like ping limits or a ping detector of some sort that would kick players that meet a certain criteria or what else if anything to control the situation! I am not saying to automatically kick or ban but if certain criteria are met then do something. Otherwise let them play and I will continue to be their victim even when I should kill them!

your place? If so when can I come and do some shooting? Just kidding!

HUH? Lol!

Congratulations Yellowsnow! In this day and age you are an oddity on marriage longevity and love and happiness. I know you appreciate her and all. I truly wish you the best!

ain't that for sure? Just ask me!

Most of you who know who Cross and Miss Rude know they are making the trek back to Ohio I believe it is. Well on their way there they have stopped over here in Washington State for some family time and repairs to their truck. She just contacted me via Facebook Chat and either tomorrow or the next day they will be here in town where I live Monroe, WA to pick up some parts and we are going to get together to meet in person and get to know each other. I am stoked for this. I have never met in person another >XI< member. She told me to tell BB and Giggles and Cspears and all the regular Friday night gang HI and that she will be online tonight! Here is your chance to say hi to them and wish them well on the rest of their way to their new home!

In reality I know one thing if you could see my head where all those times this has happened to me it leaves me scratching my head and losing the precious little hair I have left! I guess until someone invents a detector that detects where the ping and whatever all plays into this as a very suspect thing then it's up to the interpretation of the admins in each given server! That only compounds the problem unless we can get some higher up input on this! Just saying!

First let me begin by saying that in reality there is no such thing in our servers as "real time" with the technology as it is today. Everybody has a different ping and provider etc. There are lots of players that don't seem to affect the servers even if they do have lag. Others have a huge impact and after a little research I found some information as to maybe what some of these people are doing. These days what with all the new online games and high competition players are stooping to new lows of ethical playing and actually initiating lag when they enter a server. This morning as most mornings as I was playing there was a player that I think for the most part has a pretty solid game but when I try to shoot this player about 95% of the time I can't kill him with a straight shot. I can knife kill him easily but shooting him is almost impossible for me. One of the places I read up on this says that players are using lag as a hack for an unfair advantage for them to have more kills than the other players. Here is the link for this info if you think I am crazy you might want to simply google "lag switching." I had heard and read for some time now that the old COD Utility had in their archives the definition that as far as they were concerned lag is a hack. The following site is just one of many that has some really good info what and how players are doing to make lag a useful tool for them and aid them in their playing. http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/31303/preventing-artificial-latency-or-lag-hacking-in-multiplayer-games The player this morning on the first map came in about half way thru and was way behind. By the time the next 10 minutes were done he was in third place and was using a simple sniper rifle as a weapon. I tried to shoot him and at point blank range was not hitting him and he wasn't even moving to avoid my shots. He would simply shoot me one shot killing me. I then switched my way of attack and begin cutting him with much higher success rate. On the next map I cut him mercilessly and mentioned that I couldn't shoot him and he was in third place . Some of the other players tried to laugh it off but when the map was over guess who was on top? I don't mind him winning but he is doing it simply because of his lag. Even one of the admins concurred he was pretty laggy. I don't claim he is doing this intentional but who can say? I believe this will always be a challenge to us and our admins as long as we play digital games. Another thing I have noticed quite frequently is when this sort of thing happens the player in question seems to be unnoticed by the greater share of the other players. At least they don't say anything. If no one says anything about these issues then we will never grow as far as our knowledge of a world where hacking is big money right now. As we have our own servers we need to keep up with the latest on the info out there. Now I would love it if someone could figure out a way that hacks such as lag could never be a problem we have to deal with, but that seems to be a pipe dream of mine. The ultimate experience for me would to be in real time and play as it were real life. My life doesn't lag does yours?

With magicjack there are 2 different devices you can buy! I have both. One you must use with a pc of some kind and the other has a cpu in it. I have it plugged into my pc and with it the voice rarely fails. On the old one even with a good connection the voice failed regularly. I am happy with it but don't have a portable device now. Someday soon I want to get a small netbook and use it for portable service. Good post HXTR!

Yes they did get killed there once. There was also a conversation about this in the server at the time. You see the problem is there are so many maps that are made with these places to do exactly what he done and sometimes it seems there are more players out there than on the regular maps. I just wanted to bring this to light as I personally feel it is glitching but it has been my experience that even the admins as a whole cannot agree on whether it is or not. Now having said that that was not to throw then under the bus. I feel that they do a remarkable job and respect them a lot! I have heard that when a map such as this comes to the attention of someone higher up that they have all the admins vote whether it is a glitch or not. It would be nice if when this is done if these maps were listed on the website somewhere so the rest of us know whether to tell someone that >XI< considers them to be glitches. I know this is a insurmountable task and will never be done quickly under any circumstances. Damage Inc. at first I though it was a gaming style but then I thought how can it be a gaming style as the things they do to get out there is not how they play inside the map? Right? Just a few more thoughts! Thanks for your participation!

Gratz Laz!!! That's kinda poetic! lol!

Someday the windshield someday the bug!

Have you ever been playing in a game and been shot by the same player at the same spot and yet had no clue where they shot you from? I have and this happened on Waw DM server this morning. I immediately went to spectate to see what was up. I find this guy roaming outside the normal map tho it was, according to our accepted rules of engagement, okay for him to be there. When I saw what he was upto I turned on xfire and began videotaping him. At first he was just messing around and climbing and standing on tall high places I could in no way climb up on. Okay so thats no big deal as lots of people can do that tho I can't. Then he proceeded to get out of the normal playing field and climbing up on tall buildings and killing players inside the normal map. To be sure the only reason he could get to where he was at was because of the ace mod in the DM server. I noticed for all his hard time consuming work to get there he probably only had about 5 actual kills. I have a list of players who play this way every time they come into a map. Rarely have I ever seen anyone of them win, so begs the question: WHY DO THEY DO THIS? I am serious why do they do this? Is this their gaming style or what other possible reason do they play in such a manner as to risk getting kicked or banned say some admin that may consider these locations on the maps out of the map or glitching? It really doesn't matter what you call it they always seem to push the envelop when they play. Do any of you remember a player who use to play on our servers named bENT? Well he was just that kind of player. I never ever saw a map we played together that he wasn't way up high on top of things the normal player could never get to. Yet somehow undetected he would end up there. I just don't understand why you would go into a busy fun server only to try and ruin it for others with this mindset. First of all is it fair to everyone else you can get there when they can't? Or is it what the map maker really intended when he made the map? I believe in most cases the answer for both questions are NO! So again the question. WHY?

what was in the brownies you passed out before the game?

Comeon guys I need stimulated! LOL! My brain needs it okay? Bet you were thinking..........!!!!

Same here. I see yours and others post and I think to myself what am I complaining for at least you are far better off than what they deal with. As I said ANYTIME you need and ear! You have my prayers Bro!

Well Sirpokesalot if you follow that link it takes you to where when it's working properly that you actually can flash. I called Logitech support and they helped me but it didn't take care of the problem at all! I am going to call them again and see if they won't send me the g77 instead as replacement! I just have to see what happens! Thanks for the interest but that download did not fix the problem. I make have a damned wire broken again at the front where the wire comes out and if thats the case the only fix is a new mouse!

That must be tough, living on opposite ends of the US. or they might be living in one nutsack !

That must be tough, living on opposite ends of the US. not when you're well endowed! So is the rumor!

Janey I know you asked for couples but I have to admit that I am involved with 2 others and all three of us are me, myself, and I! We are happy as a slug at a spinach eating contest!

Rumor has it that you do a threesome and BB films it all!

I love little Kittenns! They grow up and are ........! Ooops did i say that. I wanted to welcome you first hand little kittenn and say if you ever play on the Ace mod you better watch your kittenndom or you will be a shaved kittenndom! Welcome to the clan and enjoy kicking the arses of all these idiots! Have fun!
