Cannot play, too many
[BULLET]Ignored repels
[BULLET]Ignored shots after the other guy fired <1second ago
[BULLET]Hacked asss super large radiuses that fucking catch ball from me shooting the other way and their asses being behind me 3/5 tiles, BEHIND, WAY BFUCKING BEHIND, SHOULDNT GET THE BALL IN THE FUCKING FIRST PLACE FAR BEHIND.

This shit gives me the desire to kill all life on Earth and blow everysingle fucking star out of the goddamn sky. Till it's fixed I cannot play for the safety of the universe.

I see....

No.. I don't :\

double post, owned.

[Divine Rides]

we're better than you

triceratops, debaser, and I challenge another team of 3 to a best of 3 (games to 10) speedball challenge. any takers? get a team ready.

[Richard Creager]

Heey careful, nockm might be reading, but if that's the case we can do 5s, Im sure he has 4 friends who play sb. But who will the mystery 2 (3 if tops doesnt show) be? Well you'll just have to assemble a team and find out on the day.

[AnidaLife]

i take on your challenge alone!


j/k
but sure, i'm sure(hopefully) i can find a few teamate to take you on

I'll join your team. We just gotta de-rust ourselves first :P

[phata$$]

i would participate just to see debaser get pissed :P

[AnidaLife]

So, when do you want to do this? thursday? sometime during the day Eastern time would be fine

BTW: if i can get nockm, you're going down 10-0, if not, maybe 10-1, 10-2 :P

[Richard Creager]

I don't know if nockm would want to play with you, he might come to us first with his own group of trusted ballers, probably other people who wouldn't ever want to play with you, possibly people you've never even heard of before.

Something about time only being able to tell.

[Divine Rides]

i would love to play thursday but cannot during the day EST... i get back from soccer practice about 7:30 PM EST Thursdays. I also know that tricer has a gaming date tomorrow, so let's say we'll play NEXT thursday, at 8PM EST (that's 7PM for you creager, and 5 for us PST folks)


that's not to say we won't play in between but let's make a date of it next thursday. maybe we can get a game this weekend too

Instead of displaying the sb website when you enter the arena, would it be possible to say something about random damage. I can't seem to explain the concept of dud to some people and its rather annoying.

Also, what happened to the setting that locked everyone in ship one or two?

[Divine Rides]

the new bot will not allow anyone to be in ships 3-8, but will not do the freq 0 is birds freq 1 is javs, my thinking on this was mainly that i hate being in a javelin, and the yellow/blue thing is pretty clear. we've gotten rid of the fucking annoying spawn spides/terrs though, that's nice.

You just want to drive a warbird.

The only reason it's not soccer game is because of the timer restrictions involved during the last shot at competitive play, but the bots can handle that when necessary anyway. Basically, there's no reason anyone should have to wait for one of TW's notoriously flakey bots to come in and "fix" the problem of douchebag #3 sitting in terrier all match, and I don't see why the arena should start broken. Set it to soccer match, and do whatever else you want to do for timers in twsb arena or something, but don't leave it up to the bot when there's an extremely elegant solution in the goddamn arena settings.

[AnidaLife]

I would like to bring up another point in casual play. Hopefully this will be part of the bot. I'm sure everyone who knows me and plays SB would know that I HATE uneven teams. :fear:

some random person would always come in during an evenly matched 1on1,2on2,3on3, and completely ruin the game. I know it's not fair to keep them from playing, so usually i just spec to try to get population up.

as for the bot, i ask that whenever one team has 2 or more more players than the other team, the bot warns a few times, and finally, if no one chooses to switch freqs, randomly choose someone and switch. Many zones have this and i believe it makes the game more fun for everyone. 2on1, 3on2, and so on can't be avoided, but please make it so 2on4, 1on3, and such don't happen.

As for joining a fair game already in progress, I ask everyone to please wait for another player to join simultaneously, or at least ask the current players if they mind. Most of the time, I don't mind a challenge if they ask before joining.

EVEN TEAMS (glad you brought that up)

okay- what i have on that

captained games the captains and/or host will be in charge of evening teams... hopefully it will get to be like ?go base where the regulars all know the basic captain commands and it won't be a problem.
(there is a brief description of these commands at the bottom of this post)

the automated games will automatically even teams-
if a player lags out or leaves the arena he/she will have 57 seconds to return and !lagout. If the player hasn't returned the bot will ask players in spec to PM the bot to enter the game. If no player is available, the bot will randomly paralyze or spec a player on the team that is up players until another player enters. If two players leave one team and there are not available players in spec the bot will switch a player from the other frequency. The bot will use simple statistical logic to determine teams/specs/switches- it won't be perfect but should provide a relatively consistent and competitive game considering it's automated.

Basic captaining commands (you can macro most of these with %tickname)

okay you're captain-- it's your pick

(these first few commands are for BEFORE the game starts)

!add playername (example !add Divine Rides-- you can abbrev. and do !add Div)

!remove playername (example, a player you added is afk or doesn't want to play- !remove Div)

!ready (your teamates are all present and the teams are even in numbers)

(these last two commands are for altering lineups after the game has started)

!sub laggedoutplayer:new player (divine rides leaves and you want to add triceratops to your team !sub div:tricer)

!add playername (if the game is less than 5 on 5, you will be able to !add another player until it is 5 on 5, make sure both teams need another player and have one available to them before adding)

*****

!setcaptain playername (is for if you want to give the captain powers to another player) make sure you set another captain if you are captain and have to leave a game


Don't play if you can't play to 10. It's not that long of a game.
