that is by far the best thing i have ever read hahahahahahahahIt can’t be better than me teleporting people on top of watertowers for “timeout” on long roundtime maps. And nothing beats the responce when I “accidently” miss at placing the teleport location and they fall 200 ft.

masterp claims we would have to like downgrade the slots in our server we have or something? why cant we just put another full one up?Liam said:
No. It’ll have to be a reduced slot server. Tron can’t handle that much of a load and keep things running smoothly.I’m not a complete dumbass Spain. Regardless of what you believe, I do know what I’m talking about.

what if we unmod some of the things off our reg server so we can keep the numbers…plus i still think our reg server should be increased 29plyrs is not enoughThe mods only account for a small amount of registry problems. You can’t really balance players and mods to “tune in” the registry as mods use a fluctuating amount of CPU and harddrive resources and there’s no real way to balance them in realtime. You might be able to squeeze 32 slots out of one server but you won’t get anywhere near a pleasureable number of people in a second server if you do so.
Keep in mind there are 2 full servers on Tron and both are looking at expanding to a second server. Both can be had but we can’t increase slots on the mains at the same time.

i never see a “masterp” in 1.6 server.I’ll tell you like I told Bitey and Liam, I don’t have to be a regular on the server to know how to populate and run it. Don’t believe me? They didn’t either. Note that CSS is now populated and full most of the time. Obviously I do.
Keep in mind that most of us watched as the server died practically overnight last time. Most of you weren’t around for that and don’t know how it happened. If you want to repeat the same mistakes that were made last time feel free but keep in mind that some people who are trying to change the now successful server were also leaders when it collapsed.
You know what works, change it at your own peril.

she called and asked if I wanted some liquor, any suggestions?Coke, preferably canned. 12 packs are fairly cheap.
The date shouldn’t matter because it was almost as bad at the last LAN. We are doing something fundamentally wrong, either in advertisement or retainment and blamming the date isn’t going to help with either.
PC section was non-existant. We need to find out why they aren’t coming and give them a kick in the pants.

Democrats are constantly made fun of and called left wing nuts/fanatics.If a Republican candidate for president spent 20 years in a church that preached hatred towards America and a good part of his pre-political life with a known terrorist he would never have been elected. We both know that.
YouWinGameOver said:
I don’t understand why people can be republican because it just seems ignorant. I think Palin is very ignorant and stupid therefore making her inadequate for the country.What about being a Republican “seems ignorant” to you? What core values do conservatives have that make them “ignorant”?
Seperately, what makes you think Palin is stupid? Post some links to unbiased, fact-based sources. Might be hard as the vast majority of print and television coverage the past 2 months has been by Obama endorsed publications or corporations.

=( iNot CSS surf. TAG had one of the first servers and thus some of the best surfers for me to learn from.
MajorMajorMajor said:
If i was to change the regular 1.6 server to purely dust2/inferno/office/snow and other REALLY popular maps and then introduce a 15 slot, votemap custom map server, how popular is that idea?If what you have now is succesful, DON’T TOUCH IT. If you want to add another one that’s fine but what you have now is working and shouldn’t be messed with.

The best part of this story though is that I hear him across the room going “WHAT THE F***!? Did you see how far away he was??!” or somethin of that nature.He also threw his headset.
CSS last night was pretty much 100% lol material.
Not at the current slot alotment anyway. Maybe if you bumped the primary back down to 18-20 and had the second one at the same amount. Of course, if people don’t really want to play on the second “custom” server and it’s a struggle to get in the main they’ll leave. Regardless of slots, if you want 2 servers you better be *edited* sure the vast majority of the population wants it, not just the handful that post in the forums.
NoDice said:
you have to *edited* about everything i type so its not a big deal.just b/c i dont have a problem with it does not mean it is or is not going on the server.. am i allowed to voice my .02
who said we are putting 100 more maps on the server? dont be mr. jump to conclusions.. K thanks
I’m not trying to *edited*, I’m just curious as to why you are more and more starting to speak like the game’s CL. I kinda remember this happening with TF2.
And whether you believe it or not, the way you have been talking the past few posts in this thread project the impression that you have the power to directly do as you “suggest”. Bash me all you want, that’s how it’s coming across.
As to the 100+ maps, I remember a few years ago when there were a TON of maps on 1.6, and none of them were any good. I may be “jumping to conclusions” but it’s not like this hasn’t already happened before.
Spain said:
I have an idea, i dont know if it has been proposed or not. But how about this. How about for a set number of days, Perhaps 2-5, we insert a new, hot, fun, exciting map to the rotation, and hold polls/votes and take a YES or NO, and if it gets a good response.. keep it perhaps.. or put it on a list for HEY THIS IS A GOOD MAP TO USE ONCE IN A WHILE, and if NO’ed TOSS IT!!! I would love to go map hunting and toss up some of my favorites from custom servers. OH and after the 2-5 days of course rinse/repeat with a new map.Just for the “I told you so”, this is a mistake. If you want custom crap all the time make it a votemap at the end of the round as this will have about the same result. People don’t want to learn a new map every couple days only to have it removed a few days later. It’s pointless.
NoDice said:
i dont have a problem with giving a few of the tru custom map a try againNot to be confrontational or anything, but isn’t a comment like that supposed to be made by the CL and not the alumni advisor?
Also, why would you want to put over 100 custom maps on the server? Isn’t the a little much?

I mean if you want to disqualify candidates by what their children doIt doesn’t work that way. Only Republican leaders are held accountable for the actions of their family and friends. Remember that Obama spent many an hour with Ayers knowing full and well what he had done and spent most of this life listening to a pastor that spewed hate, none of that mattered becuase it wasn’t “sticking to the issues”.
Let alone that he himself was born out of wedlock to a father that already had multiple wives in other countries and left his mother to go back to them. No one really knows how many relatives Obama has but he’ll never be criticised for that. He’ll also never be asked about why he called his own grandmother out for being a racist AFTER she had put him through a $12000 per year highschool and sent him to Harvard. If being family didn’t instill loyalty I would think that would.

It is a conversation. It is as far from a flame war as you can get.Trust me, I’ve been in this sort of debate before on other forums and this is like slow pitch softball compared to how spiteful and mean some of them were.
Hey energy was brought up, allow me to /topic it.
Considering that I’ve worked in the power industry I can tell you that coal is not going away for at least 50-60 years AFTER we find a viable alternative. If nuclear plants weren’t so feared and hated we’d have been using nuclear power a LONG time ago. It’s extremely clean and the lists of safeguards is retardedly long. Alternative “green” energy will not be the future of any nation that hopes to be a global power as you just can’t get enough of it. It takes 2-3 dams or 3-5 fields of “green” energy (wind, solar) to equal the output of one “modern” steam station (coal) and it takes 2-3 “modern” steam stations to equal the output of a single nuclear reactor. Most plants have 2 reactors, meaning that if you did a straight swap you could replace 5-8 coal fired planets with a single nuclear plant.
When you listen to politicians talk about energy solutions, keep one thing in mind. All energy comes from somewhere and the only energy that doesn’t pollute is too scarce to meet our needs. Do you want to create power at a plant that spits pollution into the air for us to breath or do you want a plant that can reprocess and reuse the fuel about a half dozen times and then bury it in the ground? The answer is fairly obvious.
On a different note, why is it that so many people say they voted for Obama because Palin was inexperienced. Considering she’s been a governor for as long as he was an *acting* senator I don’t really feel the comparison is fair. Even if it is, Obama had much less experience than McCain so I’d really rather have an experienced P and inexperienced VP than an inexperienced P and experienced VP.
Bitey said:
Lol when Shane ran it? I remember teams even being screwy then, no one stepped and said anything though…. hmm wonder why that was…You know how many times they re-ran the random generator they used and then manually moved people? The problem back then was we had lots of good people, probably half the players were good to very good and now we have about 1/4 that are really good and the rest are *edited* poor to decent.
Did you even play TF2 back then Bitey?

Seriously tho.. I’m stuck here until 7!
See, poor decision making has made you a very hungry person.
There is absolutely nothing keeping people out of the middle class as it stands now. The only reason I am part of the middle class is because my grandfather slaved over an aluminum-ore vat for most of his life and saved every penny he had and my dad learned from this and had the same work and saving ethic. We had no aid, and expected none. You cannot pull yourself out of the lower classes in one generation and any attempt to do so is pointless. It takes years of spending and the correct moral, saving, and working values have to be taught to children to pull yourself out of poverty. When the government starts to intervene and take the responsibility of wealth management away from the worker, you take a critical element away from the individual, you take the experience of having to work for what you’ve earned away. I won’t begrudge anyone for wealth they’ve earned and desire no pity from anyone for not having it myself. I want to earn my wealth and once I’ve earned it I expect it to be mine, not shared amoung thousands who did nothing to help me earn it, just as I expect no money from them because I didn’t help them earn it. It’s the whole “you keep what’s yours and I’ll keep what’s mine” concept that no one seems to understand anymore.
Also, at what point does “investing in the lower class to pull them up” justify taking away a third of someone’s income? That’s like saying “oh you worked 50 weeks this year but we’re only paying you for 34.” That’s not just wrong, it’s stealing. That’s 640 hours of time someone has lost simply because someone else is being propped up by a wellfare program.
Bitey said:
Best policy I can think of, save money for yourself and your children so they aren’t left in the cold, the rest, instead of spending it on 6-7 houses and then 9 or 10 cars, what is so wrong with “spreading” that around. You can look at it as charity, or whatever floats your boat, but something we all need to realize is we all live on this planet together, and we all have an impact on what happens to it, so you choose….Help the people that clean up your *edited*, that throw away your trash, that clean the streets, that fix your McDy’s burger, that take care of your children, keep crime off our streets, put out fires, and all the other minimum wage jobs.
Or hoard all your money for yourself.
Your choice.
The problem with your idealism is that a socialist government doesn’t give you the opportunity to save for yourself before taking it all away. Under Obama’s plan, I can come out of college with thousands of dollars in loans but because I make a certain amount of money I am somehow undeserving of the right to choose to pay those off before being “patriotic” with my paycheck. I will have to give 30-40% in taxes under Obama’s plan, that’s money I WANT to save for a SINGLE house, a SINGLE car, for children’s future, etc but won’t have the *RIGHT* to because I make “enough to share”. You can’t sit there and tell me you believe that’s fair. As it stands now, over 30% of Americans don’t pay any federal income taxes, why should I have to pay extra so they can get a check in the mail? You can call it charity all you want, that doesn’t make it right. If I give to charity (which I do already) that should be my choice, not something the government takes automatically from my check and gives to groups of people where probably 90% are less deserving than those I would have given the extra to anyway. Would you rather give money to government “charity” where you know it will be leeched or donate directly to a local fire department where you know it will be spent 100% deservingly?
Btw, I don’t have any problems with or begrudge those who try to earn an honest living at minimum wage. I have always been nice and kind to those who do the work I was raised to not have to do. I’ll be the first to tell you I am fortunate that I have parents that pushed me and made me work hard in school. What I have a problem with and you can’t argue against is the nearlt 50% of my high school graduating class that didn’t even try to make something of themselves. They are earning minimum wage BY CHOICE. Community college is practicly free at that point in life and they chose instead to do nothing with themselves, hell 25% the high school freshmen I started with didn’t make it to graduation. You can’t say it’s not hard to feel sorry for someone who cleans toilets all day because they failed out of highschool, especially since it’s now virtually impossible if you actually care.
As for hoarding money, what’s wrong with that? Fat cats in Washington do it. All these politicians who want to raise our taxes do it. Obama had over $600 million in donations and you know it didn’t all get spent. If the new president is allowed to hoard, why can’t we? It’s not as evil or elitest as you think. You’ll understand when you get a retirement account started and struggle to make enough to fund it because your summer internship was taxed at 27%. I don’t consider my “hoarded money” aka my two IRAs as a bad thing. There’s nothing wrong with preparing for your future, Social Security was never designed to be income replacement for retirees but the unprepared, “poor people” who spent their money instead of saving it don’t deserve any of my money. That’s 100% not fair.
And I can tell you don’t really have a retirement plan because the only way the money increases over time is if you let it sit there. The money I have put in my IRAs will be there until I’m 69.5, that’s a choice I make. I choose to let it sit there and earn interest and dividends instead of spending it on a new TV or computer parts. The last time I took food to the homeless shelter for NHS about 75% of the people there had cell phones, and most of them weren’t the freebie ones like I use. WTF? You can’t defend that.

We asked last time before anyone left the stage if they though the teams were ok. Every team said yes. we cant *edited*ing do any better?My team didn’t say yes. The only team that was screaming yes was the one with 4 really good players on it. Mike can tell you I DID complain and it WAS ignored. Notice the whole tie thing, yeah if we hadn’t swapped players off the stage there wouldn’t have been any ties.
NoDice said:
whats your MasterP(lan)?Run it like it was when Shane was here. I don’t seem to remember any drama around it back then, might have something to do with the fact they always turned out well.
