Welcome, Danger. Please tell us that you're not like your father, please!!!! Crap, I have a tendency to type faster than I think. Welcome to the clan. Come to the FT Server 1 sometime and help us carve each titanium plate out of Sally's Kevlar knickers. She only has 10,500,000 plates (or about 5,000,000 pounds (quids) in the U.S. equivalent) left. Wait, I'm injecting currency compared to mass. I'll do my version of the @#$%^!@#()! rental-driver's aids: "Recalculating . . . " Lol. Ayaq

LMAO. Nay, Hehhhehehehaeheheahhaeh!!! "Post-whore?" Does that mean you've given up clicking your 6-inch stilettos on the cobble-stone streets in the wee-wee hours of the morning? Does that mean that you now mimic a rooster, saying "Cockle-doodle-do," instead of the usual greeting, "Any Cock'l Do?" Does that mean that you'll stop sending Christmas cards to your regulars, which begin with "Dear John?" Does that mean that . . . . Well, you get the point. Lol. Congrats, I guess. Ayaq

Stephanie!! No dis-assemble, no dis-assemble!! Johnny No. 5 alive!!! Stephanie .. . . . .. ... . ! Lol. Happy birthday. You know we wouldn't diss you if we didn't love (like? anguish?) you. Ayaq P.S. - Sorry for the late wishes, just got home from the gentlemen's bar (sorry, originally posted "titty," but thought better of it. Hence, my correction. Besides, they let me in, so I know it was no gentlemen's bar). Lol.

Welcome, Buffalo Cody. I haven't played with/against you for a coupla years (I can't remember the name of the server we used to play on regularly). Come join us in FT Server 1 (the best server) sometime, bud, so I can reacquaint you with my nades. Ayaq

Rugger, the server always seems to get stuck on Backlot. I don't know what the issue is, but if there's a way to successfully operate on that map (I happen to like it), that would be great. "Power Station" takes a long time to complete because it takes place during the zombie mating season; i.e., all the zombies are chasing each other around the periphery instead of coming in close enough to be blasted by Acorn. The "Tickxmas" and "Dead Night" maps seem to elicit regular grumbling from players who think the maps are too boring. I, for one, wouldn't lose a single iota of sleep if those three maps were stricken from the queue. Many of us are ecstatic with the new mod, and those that think zombie mods are boring should come into the server and give it a go. If nothing else, the mod provides great practice at running around screaming and pretending you're a sniper with a desert eagle. Actually, I get most of my points while laying on my back. Wait, hold on here . . . Lol. At the risk of sounding unctuous, we appreciate your work on bringing the mod to your adoring throngs . . . Ayaq

Hehehaehehhaeaheheah!!! Laughed a few times out loud on that one, and still chuckling. That reminds me of the times I played my stereo loud--in an apartment--during the wee hours of the morning, only to get loud thumps from the neighbors below me. They must have surrendered their security deposit because of all the holes they punched in the ceiling with their mop handle. Ayaq

Lol, Respect, that's a great one. Only golfers that have over-turned carts themselves can really appreciate that one. Incidentally, all of my "accidentally over-turned cart" episodes usually involved steep hills, rain, and too much beer. Surge returned home 10 hours after his scheduled tee time, looking extremely exhausted. HIs wife, knowing that it only took him about 5 hours to finish a round, eyed him suspiciously and asked, "Surge, why are you getting home so late after your golfing?" Surge replied, "Honey, my best friend Pete suffered a fatal heart attack on the third hole today." His wife gasped, "Oh my God, that's terrible!!" Surge sighed and said, "You're telling me. After that happened, it was 'hit the ball, drag Pete . . . hit the ball, drag Pete . . .'" Ayaq

Blaze, while it's true that a Lone Wolf McQuaid would indeed have trouble finishing the last wave by his/herself, it's do-able. The big zombies flail at your four times; what I do is slash them from the side at the very end of their fourth volley, then sprint away, turn around and run backwards in an arc, let them get close enough to start flailing again, then repeat. The problem with finishing a map by yourself is that there's no there to act as witness--it's akin to making a hole-in-one while playing golf by yourself. You don't get your name on the wall and free beer, either. I've never accomplished such a duffer feat, but I've come very, very close (i.e., within two inches of the cup) a couple of times. Rugger, one thing I forgot to add to my wistful wish-list was the addition of the "map voting" option when a map ends. We can all agree that we have our favorite and not-so-favorite maps. Adding the "map voting" option would allow the democratic majority to bypass the not-so-favorite maps. How many more posts do I have to make to become a bona fide, gen-you-ine "post whore?" Ayaq

Darn it, accidentally hit "Post" before I was done with my soliloquy (diatribe? ) . The Zombie server has really, really taken off during the past week. Unlike the Freeze Tag servers, for example, when you have half of the gamers working together against the other half, ALL the people playing work together to complete the waves. And, with in-game speak, we can all laugh at--I mean, support--the "last man running," who has 150 zombies chasing him while the rest of us are lying on our backs taking pot-shots at the zombies with our side arms. "Backlot" is one of my favorite maps, but it keeps freezing on our server; i.e., the zombies don't come out and you can't buy anything. It froze last night (11/11) and again tonight. Only two, last wistful requests, Rugger: (1) Please add the "New Moon" map to the rotation. It's got the low-gravity element that many people like, and the music rocks on the crawler and flaming-zombie waves; and (2) Por favor, add the "Fast Reload" option, for 7,000 pts., to the upgrade menu. The RPD is excellent in the "shoot the zombies with your primary weapon" phase of the final wave. However, when you have 8 monster zombies chasing you and you have to reload your RPD, it seems like you have to run a mile-and-a-half before you can finally get the darn thing reloaded. Thanks again. Ayaq P.S. - When the >XI< server froze tonight (11/12) on Backlot again, several of us went to the World War Zombie server, and that server doesn't get your blood pumping like the >XI< server does. Some of us were making sandwiches with one hand while playing that server, but Gooney wouldn't tell us what he was doing with his other hand while he was playing. Lol. The >XI< servers and the >XI< people rock.

Umm, Sammy, we're not trying to shoot each other: we're trying to shoot the zombies that are trying to munch on us. I doubt anyone would be wanting to modify our "chew boxes," because we're trying to help each other win as a team, not kill each other. Just sayin'. Ayaq

Congratulations, Sweet Sally. Way to keep picking eggs the special way that you do in FT1. Ayaq

Just wanted to "thank you" to the Admins., and others, that have worked to keep the servers fresh and running smoothly. Ayaq

Rugger, et al: the mod is running great, and many >XI< members and Joe Q. Public members have been playing on the >XI< server. It's good to talk to (which is one giant plus for the server) other >XI< members that haven't had the pleasure of talking to me--I mean, that I haven't had the pleasure of talking with. I passed Prestige Level 5 a couple of days ago, and I've had the grenade turret (which currently costs 4,000 points after one has reached Prestige Level 5) available to me since then. The problem is, I can get the nade turret on the first round because I spawn with 6,500+ points because of my prestige level. Unless Ice>XI< or MikeWestin>XI<--the only other ones on the server that I know have also achieved Prestige Level 5--pull out their nade turrets first, I leave mine in its sheath; otherwise, it wouldn't be fair to the other players trying to rank up. Please set the costs of the mini-gun turret and the grenade turret at 10,000 points and 12,000 points, respectively. Also, please add "Fast Reload," at a cost of 7,000 points, to the offerings. Lastly, I feel that we should be able to run through our teammates, especially when it comes to bottlenecks like doorways and alleys. When you've got a horde of zombies chasing you, and your running backwards, shooting, your shooting teammates behind you can prevent you from getting away. A couple of times, I'd drop an ammo pack and announce it was over here (a generated voice announcing ammo/health drops, and an image on the map showing where the drop was in relation to you would be nice), only to get hemmed in by all the voracious seagulls trying to health or ammo up. I say, "Geez, guys, can you let me out?" Lol. The mod is great, and at least one other player resonated my opinion that it's great to add variety to the >XI< freeze tag serves that we already play. Thanks again. Ayaq

First of all, let me say "thanks," Rugger, for adding the new COD4 Zombie mod to the >XI< scabbard. Before going on, I would like to disagree with Blaze: earning upgrade points and prestige levels and grenade turrets, etc., should not be easy. I finally reached the very top level at the other server that Pvt. Death is talking about, and it was not easy. However, once you reach that apex, you can easily recognize the other players that have, also, and they, too, know it is quite an accomplishment. It takes teamwork (engineer and medic that know how to throw stuff, for example) and tactics, and skillful shooting and running/dodging to escape the various zombies. This takes practice on the mod, and it's rewarding to be the last survivor after a huge wave to revive your teammates. A couple of constructive suggestions: (1) The mini-gun turret should cost 10,000 upgrade points (currently set at 7,500); (2) The grenade turret should cost 12,000 points (currently set at 4,000--this is entirely the opposite of the way it should be, since the nade turret is much more powerful than the mini-gun turret); (3) The ammo and health packs' length-of-available-time should be doubled; they disappear much too quickly; (4) Ammo-reload time (not health time) should be such that you can reload each weapon (except for the flame thrower, ray gun, and other special weapons, which should "click" with each shot reload) with a single cycle of the weapons while on the box. Currently, you can only reload a clip at a time; (5) There should be some kind of announcement that ammo and health packs have been laid; e.g., "I've got your ammo over here, pick it up!", or "I've got your health over here, pick it up!;" (6) Please add an air raid siren, or something similar, to announce that the zombies are coming. Lol, a lot of us are surprised when we're loading up on ammo and we're getting some forcible "gluteus maximus reduction" procedures performed by zombies that come without warning. Again, thanks for your work in adding the mod. I know I speak for others that we'd rather play on an >XI< server than some other. Ayaq

Welcome to this fine and cultured group of gaming enthusiasts, J. Nice mowing down zombies wit' ya on the new COD4 zombie server. Ayaq P.S. - Yay, my 100th post; I'm 10% of a "post whore." By the way, is that someone who's given up working the streets? Lol.

Welcome, nOOne. It's like Alisha Keyes belts: "nOOne, nOOne, nOOne, can make me feel like you do. . . " or something like that. Wait, don't read to much into that, you other >XI< idiots welcoming the newest idiot . . . Ayaq

Welcome to the fine group, Mr. Rattle. Can't wait to see your brand-spankin'-new >XI< tags later today (in FT Server 1, of course ). Ayaq

Welcome to the forums, nOOne--good to see you in the server(s), especially in Server 1, and when you're on my team, so you can either defrost me or tell me from whence you were shot--or fragged, or stabbed, of claymored, or strip-searched, yadda, yadda, yadda. You should add an "r" to your name so we'd have "nooner." Who doesn't like, or remember, nooners, hmm? Lol. Ayaq

The only thing worse than bunny-hoppers are noob-tube-shooting bunny hoppers. I'm a history buff, and all of the war documentaries I've seen don't capture soldiers prancing across the field, kilts flying in the wind. Just sayin' . . . Ayaq P.S. - aim at the spot where they'll be landing . . .

Congratulations, Kryten. I thought your tags looked brand-spanking new in the server today. Too bad you weren't from Australia: then, we could call you "Crikey." Ayaq

Watch out, Sweet Chicken--you might have a stalker on your hands!!! Calculator--here's a hint: Chicken Finger looks like a cross between Brad Pitt and George Clooney, with a touch of Benny Hill added to the mix. Oh, and just a dash of RuPaul . . . "Work, work it girl, do your thing . . . " Ayaq

Stephanie!!! No disassemble, no disassemble!!! Johnny No. 5 alive!!! Lol. Guess we gotta change from calling you "Vipper." Ayaq

Welcome to the clan, Roadkill. You'll find--if you haven't already found--out that we've got some great people here. I look forward to bouncing some more nades offa your big, fat head, lol. Ayaq

Don't you even start, Mr. Noears. My past prison roommates told me that you used to go around the shower stalls yelling at the top of your voice: "Oops, I dropped my soap again!" C'mon, now!!! Ayaq

Cya, Sir Scottie Tissue--hope you have a great time. We'll try to knife Sally for you while you're away . . . Ayaq
