moonpie

Welcome, grumpy, great to have you on board!

This, although I'm quickly having issues with only using a 10 gallon pot... It is really limiting my volume (read: alc%). I also agree that I probably wouldn't go electric - it is probably cheaper to buy a large volume pot (10-15 gallons with multi-ply bottom) and drop it on a turkey fryer stand....that is what I use.

@@iboomboom, clearly these fabricated images never happened. I wouldn't believe it unless someone trustworthy like @@TaGg3r or @@Giggles posts them. Until then I'm just going to assume you are trying to steal all my tricks...silly rabbit.

It is the inverse of this... They will likely tell you that they turn it off because they get much higher FPS, which is true. Still, it doesn't change the fact that some folks abuse it. This is much different than the first few seconds or last seconds of smoke being thrown....lots of times I'll shoot someone that is running through the tail end of smoke or right after smoke has been thrown. They are still visible and don't' realize it. Key to smoke, wait a few seconds before you go through it....but don't wait too long...haha

@@iboomboom, you can spec all you like as far as I'm concerned. I used to do that a lot too when I was still learning how to play. Eventually you'll be good enough to play with us... I do like your post but there are two things that I'd like to add. One is a real complaint I have and one is an observation. The observation is that the lag/CI issues seem to be related to the numbers of players in the game. I will complain about that because when we get above about 26 people on the servers (including specs) a large share of my deaths are lag/CI related. It has become frustrating lately....but that is just bitching by me. The lag problems, although not evenly applied, do seem to impact us all. My real complaint are those people that turn smoke off (read: change their ambient occlusion) outside the game. I don't care about lag hoppers and love playing against campers - what I don't appreciate are those people that change (video card) settings outside of the game to see through smoke and nullify a whole feature of the game. There are snipers that sit in the only pathway between two areas with this feature set and just rack up the kills...pathetic. These people should just stop playing the game if this is what is required for them to get kills. This is a much different problem than the smoke dissipating - as you mentioned in your first post. /bitchingoff.

Welcom, Abu - you idiot.

I don't know what was done on the new server but I'm noticing bad "clipping" from players with good connectivity. For example, there were players yesterday (e.g. - kimaley, scripter, etc...) that would blink? across the screen like players with really high connections. These are players that usually never display this type of thing. This was not universal because it only happened with a handful of people. Strangely enough, folks like Prinny were not blinking across my screen like I normally expect. I don't even know what to suggest is the issue. All I can suggest is that something is not normalized between the two servers maybe as Cobra suggests.

The problem with that video is it isn't you. They said it was a dangerous cobra. You are more like a defanged kitten. rawr

Thanks everyone. It was a great b-day. I got to kill Pink while still on her team. That made me happy - but then Pete yelled at me to stop complaining and he hurt my feelings. Pink, I may need to get you killed again to make up for it.

"the real essences of moonpie"...hmm, @@Noears711XI you'll have to clarify for me - am I the one posing or am I the one taking the picture? If I had to guess that would be you posing and me taking the picture...

Poor misinformed people...i weep for you... Your choices are vanilla, chocolate, orange, lemon, banana, and strawberry - love them all, but i'd probably settle for banana most of the time.

No, for the last time I won't put a picture of you as my signature, @@JohnnyDos.

Lol, @@Red, that is kinda funny - not exactly what a moonpie is but it is funny. It would be really difficult to make a signature that represents a moonpie. A moonpie is really just a south-eastern U.S. treat that has lots of history. Originated close to where I grew up. Think of it like if i called myself stroopwafel...

On my signature editor message box, all of my options are grayed out. I can only type in text, can't post pics or even format text. I must be missing something....

You are awesome, @@Nisty*....now I just have to figure out how to edit my signature. Won't let me put anything but text into it currently... And @@CobraBites, if Nisty was to make a signature that really represented me - it would be a picture of a guy squashing a cobra's head. Of course, you know that already...hahaha.

Yep, looks like what I imagine @@PigDog looks like.

He means, we have a priority list that is taken into account before we move onto the weighted ratios. We start with the people hardest to understand because of their accents. Then we include the guys that play like timid little girls, sorry Abu (hope this explains your situation). Finally, if there is an admin on that actually knows what they are doing - we boot them. The only people that never get kicked are the campers that never move out of spawn, high ping hoppers, and really bad admins like @@CobraBites. Hope that helps.

This is viscous lie, @@iboomboom.... in an unrelated note: Tagger, you idiot, you should have just made something up instead of telling them how we play. Oh, and the only real difference between me/Tag, i typically run around with an MP5 unless the board is too big. This is why I can't kill folks with as few bullets as Tag.

Ha, Randall, until you bitch as much as Cobra, Wildthing, or even me....you've nothing to worry about. It is always tough when you use the game to blow off some steam and it gets you even more worked up. Glad you found a way to decompress and that your day got better.

I don't have a problem with someone shooting me through a wall, if they see me. What bothers me is the random wallspray looking for hit-markers. Since the comparison is what could happen in reality, you don't get hit-markers in real life. That is the only time that I get annoyed at wall-spray. Moneybags: I don't mind the moneybags but think the time is a little low. I do like the concept, however. Some people tend to abuse map terrain to get themselves hidden for a full map, and never move. The only way to find them is to spec them. My play style is to get behind the enemy and shoot folks in the back....I'm sure folks would like a moneybag over my head if I was camping "hidden" in their spawn with an MP5. If folks with sniper rifles are going to get a moneybag then the time should probably be set at 3-5x the amount of time someone with an MG would get. (e.g. - 90 sec for MG and 480 sec sniping)

If that is the start list, I'll love all those extra points. Thanks... This is an awesome idea, love it Sammy!

About time. Welcome, Vicky!

Thanks for the explaination on functionality. Sammy, I didn't bring it up to set you on a wild goose chase...really just to see if it was a pervasive issue. I can live with it even if it only happens to me. I just thought I'd point it out in case there was something bigger going on with the mod. I really like the mod overall - the only frustrating thing is that laggy players seem to be much harder to hit in this mod vs the last one. Either way, I won't stop playing for two reasons: Hardline & a working car jammer...

Keep in mind that this is sudden death....he wasn't dead, he was moving around/shooting, I spec'ed to his first person view, then knifed to free float behind him....no one was there, I then moved around the map to see if I could see anyone else - everyone else appeared to be on the screen. Spec'ed and free-floated 2-3 times over the course of the sudden death round and every time he was invisible. He was not cheating, of course...I'd noticed this happened with other players and I was trying to verify in this instance.
