Does your computer ever work right?under linux, it never fails.
under xp without too much tinkering, it does just fine.
what problems you having? from the start, you sign in with your forum user name and password (right?) and then you see a page with a link to the tourney rules and the signup… on the signup it asks for things like your student status, i.e. are you a current WCU student, then asks you to check any tournaments you want to join. next to the tourneys are the times they are allotted, then next it asks if you can bring any equipment, then hit submit, should do ya good
i haven’t looked at that, all i know is that both before and after vista doesn’t agree with something about backups…
once a week, i turn it on, boot into vista, plug in my backup drive (usb), go to the backup thing, do the full backup, try the safely remove (never works), turn computer completely off, unplug usb hdd, power computer back on, and all of a sudden it won’t make it through bios if the monitor is plugged in. really random. one time it even somehow overrode the hardswitch on my power supply. I had to pull the cord itself before I could kill my computer. it scares me. i don’t liek it. it might be hardware almost failing, might not. doesn’t happen if i don’t do this whole backup routine step by step. to get it to boot again i have to pull every connection on the back, let it sit a few minutes, and plug it all back in. then XP works just liek always.
to clarify:
the idea behind the “reality” suggestion WASN’T to make it illegal to jump off of clips or do this or do that… it was to eliminate the non-common-sense EXPLOITS in the gameplay on our server. like bhopping.
My intent is not to turn this $20 p.o.s. game engine into a reality simulator.
Example: If that was my intent, the HE nades would actually deal lethal damage first hit, every hit. Do they? **** no.
Bunnyhopping may be a technique of the pros and the amateur almost-pro’s. My personal take is it should not be part of THIS club’s server. If you want me to list reasons, wait till maybe sunday or later and I’ll get started. I’ve got a LAN to prepare. which by the way will not allow bunnyhopping.
the reload exploit… good lawd, buy an autosniper. have you noticed that we’ve tamed them down? yup. you know why? having your team raped by one guy taking 1 shot / player and x shots / second is not fun. If you want I’ll host a vote to turn that one back into a more damaging gun. Or maybe I’ll just do it randomly one day and record all the complaints. Same concept. Even the same with HE grenades. People got annoyed that they would get destroyed so efficiently.
Those are my thoughts, you have a bhopping vote going already, and if you want I’ll start a reload vote. Cos this (contrary to some beliefs) IS a democracy.
more to that effect, i spec’d a couple of awpers in the server and found that (surprise) they didn’t do it.
hmmmms… if i has money when i leave for summer i just might, assuming i choose to go to stay the college route or work
if i do anything about quickswitching / reload dodging / whatever its called, then it’ll be just up to admins… you can see it if you see someone shoot an awp, their gun disappear then be pulled back out again… probably repeatedly.
no, not the button one in the options
switching weapons really quick is just fine. sometimes i’ll sit there and play with the mousewheel just to hear the knife sound and the whooshing of all the different sounds

Falcon give me a gun and a knife. Its is entirely possable to pull out a knife from a shootout irl.lol not that quickswitching… when you’re carrying an awp or something you shoot, change weapons, and change weapons back all in quick succession and another bullet is chambered, ready to fire, eliminating the reload time.
elly, you’re welcome to challenge me, bring it up with Bitey, DeviantSyntax, VBloodLustV, Ephraim, Lootool, etc… or you can mention it to the next CL when they take their position. I may try to get a temp to start even as early as the last day as finals, because I’ll be long gone soon as this semester ends and may not be back for a year or more
correct about the mouse wheel. granted, i’m getting pretty good at seizure-tapping my mouse, but i still can’t empty two 9 round clips in 1 second.
well, not a player ban for quickswitching… but the action. I’m considering a “in real life” / “programmer circumvention” rule… something the likes of if you can’t do it in real life then that’s bad, and one where the game was built some way for a reason, so it should stay like that… both bhopping and quickswitching would be in the scope of the “irl” one, coz any rifleman knows your gun doesn’t reload if you just touch another gun
and bhopping don’t quite work… and i def. never saw that at a track meet… and the programmer intentions… they made the awp reload longer coz it would maek more sense, and quickswitching is dodging that. quickswitching would fall into a similar category as mousewheel shooting, too… just food for thought…2) throwing weapons in front of doors has been banned.
bhopping is an exploit in my book. plus it doesn’t work in real life. plus it takes really really accurate training to do it, not like your average weapon training on target practice maps or whatever. maybe on a skilled / clan / pro server, but not a fun pub. plus when you start opening a fun pub to this kind of thing, then the fun leaves… people start getting tactical and all.
1) quickswitching will soon be banned.
maybe it’s an unexpected error in the game’s ff system… it wouldn’t be the first unexpected errors with the game
so today around 9:15 I FINALLY found my RD in his office, and asked him about hanging the fliers and all. he tells me that we should carry them to the scott hall reslife offices and hand them all to them, preferably separated by how many we want per building, and then they have to distribute them out to the RA’s from there… best estimate by me, this kind of run-around and power structure would have these fliers posted by thursday at the earliest. So i’m taking the ones i have left and I am going to post them around the hall, a few at a time. as they disappear i will post more… and if they continue to disappear then I’ll get crafty with my postings
though most of my knife rushes aren’t successful, i had perhaps the most satisfaction one time on dust2 when i rushed straight up the middle to t spawn carrying only a knife, knifed a camping awper, and proceeded to use the stolen awp to tear apart the rest of the team. in that sense i didn’t feel cheap using the awp, any other time i kinda do… but that was immensely rewarding since it started with only a knife.
alright, alright…
i’ll record a demo of me next time i plays
you shall witness the epic knife rushes.
i looked into it last night to try to optimize some maps for juggernaut rounds (modding the spawn points) but apparently you can’t edit the maps once they turn .bsp
i got annoyed and stopped after that.
Hello once again The Grammar Police, I was wondering where you drifted away to
.but I see you have an applicant

I are lovez grammars. Can I has pozition as grammar popo??Translation by MasterP: “I love grammar. Can I have a position with the grammar police?”
thoughts?
aww, i can’t make it tues @ 9:00… I’ll be at works.. maybe recommend both of them at the same time both days?
I could make it + <number of round wins difference> to the winning team and – <number of round wins difference> to the losing team, is that where you’re suggesting I go with this?
I want to make it so that if one team clearly outscores the other (say there’s a bunch of ct’s with 20+ kills and no t’s with >10 kills) then there will be more players accepted from that team, but the losing team’s leaders still get spots in case of just a bad fortune or a biased map (hopefully not biased maps tho).
