I guess it will depend on what 'roots' means. Really the only significant direction they could go for something new is a very good squad based MMO that is fully supported long term, stable, and continually updated so it doesnt get stale. Means you wont be aiming for the casual 'hop on' gamers and random teams but dedicated players and groups.

This server will self destruct in 5 seconds.

Ok so the randomized gun order works without any problems? If so I will leave it alone. If there is a weapon not on the list let me know. No C4 or clays. Or if its too short I can bump up the kill requirements from 2 to 3 and see how that plays.

An oldie but still always worth a little laugh The Voodoo Dildo A businessman is getting ready to go on a long business trip across the country. He knows his wife is always getting horny, so he decides to get her something to keep her occupied while he was gone, because he didn’t much like the idea of her having sex with someone else. So he went to a store that sold sex toys and started looking around. He thought about a life-sized sex doll, but that was too close to another man for him. He was browsing through the dildos, looking for something special to please his wife, and started talking to the old man behind the counter. He explained his situation to the old man. “Well, I don’t really know of anything that will do the trick. We have vibrating dildos, special attachments, and so on, but I don’t know of anything that will keep her occupied for so many weeks, except a” said the old man, and then he stopped. “Except what?” asked the businessman. “Nothing, it's nothing,” said the old man. “Please, tell me! I need something!” protested the businessman.“Well, sir, I don’t usually mention this, but there is the ‘Voodoo Dildo,’” the old man said. “The Voodoo Dildo?” the businessman asked. The old man reached under the counter, and pulled out a beautifully ornate old wooden box carved with strange symbols. He opened it, and there lay a very ordinary-looking dildo. The businessman laughed, and said, “Big fucking deal. It looks like any other dildo in this shop!” The old man said, “But you haven’t seen what it’ll do yet.” He pointed to a door and said “Voodoo Dildo, the door.” The Voodoo Dildo rose out of its box, darted over to the door, and started screwing the keyhole. The whole door shook with the vibrations, and a crack developed down the middle. Before the door could split, the old man said, “Voodoo Dildo, box!” The voodoo dildo stopped, floated back to the box and lay there, motionless. The businessman said, “I’ll take it!” The guy took it home to his wife, told her it was a special dildo and that to use it, all she had to do was say, “Voodoo dildo, my pussy.” He left for his trip satisfied things would be fine while he was gone. After he’d been gone a few days, the wife was unbearably horny. She thought of several people who would willingly satisfy her, but then she remembered the Voodoo Dildo. She lay down, placed the box between her legs, and said “Voodoo dildo, my pussy!” The voodoo dildo shot to her crotch and started pumping. It was great, like nothing she’d ever experienced before. After four orgasms, she decided she’d had enough, and tried to pull it out, but it was stuck in her, still thrusting. She tried and tried to get it out, but nothing worked. Her husband had forgotten to tell her how to shut it off! So she decided to go to the hospital to see if they could help. She put her clothes on, got in the car and started to drive to the hospital, quivering with every thrust of the dildo. On the way, another orgasm nearly made her swerve off the road, and she was pulled over by a policeman. He asked for her license, and then asked how much she’d had to drink. Gasping and twitching, she hastily cried, "The Voodoo Dildo! stuck in my pussy, can't get it out!! Ahhhhh! Need..To..Get..It..OUT!! H-h-help M-m-me!!!" The officer looked at her incredulously for a second, and then said, “Yeah, right. Voodoo dildo, my ass!”

Been there done that. Often its "I just dont like it". As for big, small, open and all the rest it all depends. Some are pretty obvious. For others you could have two maps that are pretty close to each other but one is 'too open'. Also comes down to the casual 'hop on, play, hop off' crowd that isnt that interested in learning new maps.

Welcome to my world. Most regulars neither visit the forums nor read the posts asking such things.

Cant? Very often its 'wont'.

And?

Probably from a movie soundtrack. Dont recognize it however.

People seem to think marty is free. Costs a perk that could have been used for some pretty good stuff. But I know people can get upset when the enemy does something that messes you up. If its not marty then its.... oh... maybe bunny hopping. Which IS free. Disabling marty wont stop anyone from pulling a pin, cooking it and running towards you. Shoot em down and still gotta deal with the nade. There have been some players here notorious for that. Think of a player having a C4 pack that you can detonate without having to throw it first like a suicide bomber. Makes marty look quaint.

Are you talking about the menu music on the current 1.46 mod that is on the xi server?

Its one of the CoD background music files. I forget which game.

Its the same OW2 mod as the main server but just guns. As for rotations all of the normal weapons are there except a few of the sniper rifles. I could add those and the rpg. Could also easily bump up the number of kills required to advance from 2 to 3.

Yea I did the do not call list long ago. I dont know if I have to re-up every year but wont hurt to check. Of course scammers dont bother with such lists.

I guess the only option now is to do cellphone only for people you want to contact. Everything else still use voip but with the phone off so it doesnt ring. Then let it all go to voicemail. At the moment however my cell phone reception sucks at home with too many dropped calls. But even then I hear there are scammers. Hate to say it but I suppose its at the point where a blocker should allow only personally known numbers. Everything is either blocked or automatically goes to voice mail without ringing. Means missed calls that might be important but the only way to protect yourself. Seriously this is worse than making sure you are protected from STDs.

Trying out gungame with a random weapon rotation. Everyone gets the same rotation but new players still start at the beginning of the rotation as before. Order changes every map.

Going to try nomorobo. Sounds like it will do well however if I still get the single ring in the middle of the night I will have to keep it in a draw. Im a light sleeper. Not good for emergencies however. But its free so cant ask for perfection.

Checked out nomorobo and might be worth it, considering its free. Still rings once however so for those middle of the night calls still have to keep the phone in a drawer or something. I've never gotten scammer calls in the middle of the night before so I dont know if that means ATT was better than comcast at filtering them out or if my phone number got out even tho I am paying for an unlisted phone number.

Ugh. international phone caller scams I think. Just got one at 1:30am. Its one of those late evenings for me so the ring didnt wake me up. But I dont remember ever getting a call that late before so it did raise concerns. Didnt pick it up and let it go to the answering machine. Got one earlier in the day and picked it up by accident. Only recently got caller ID and didnt recognize it as an international call. But easily could tell it was a scammer call after I said 'hello' once and it was static on the line with 'hello hello hello' in an accented voice. So just hung up. I assume picking up on such a call isnt going to be charged to me. Only if I placed one. And it seems from what I read Comcast wont allow me to block incoming international calls. Which sucks balls. When I made a quick phone call and explained the situation the csr (India) gave me the runaround about 'system upgrades'. Yea right. Anyways, I suppose the only option for a landline is to pick up a phone blocker. Bookmarked a couple to check out tomorrow. But does anyone use one? How well does it work? In addition to blocking all international I may want to block all area codes except ones where I know people or if I know people will be on a vacation somewhere, for emergencies. Things just get worse and worse for us all. One of the latest, the usual 'can you hear me' robocalls (they dont ask for you by name) want you to say 'yes' so they can record you. Then, when they charge you for something they will try and use that to 'prove' you agreed to something. So now, if its someone you dont know, dont ever say the word 'yes'. Sometimes the world is just too depressing because there isnt enough help from the powers that be for us to deal with it.

Must have been some pretty big lips.

Ouch thats a lot of money. I've done DHL for small packages and they are pricey but pretty fast. Did a quickie look at fedex economy from CA to London for a 20lb package and its $150 US.

Channeling Norm?

Looks like its already taken.
