Distension discussion

[HateTheFake]

No HTF, its because no one wants to play your shitty squad because mods will get on their ass for point feeding.

Anyways, why are ops going on strike now?

there were plenty of people to play guess when you have to alias to get on squads thou it doesnt say much for you.

distension totally fucks the bots for a few hours, lol when bots finally return it gets rehosted wtf is this. If it breaks why do you immediately rehost it when it returns. My squad waited 2 hours to get a match for this stupid crap....

Fix this shit, or dont play it.

Hey, I feel bad about your struggles with developmental disabilities, but could you please explain how Distension "totally fucked the bots for a few hours"? I'm just curious as to how this magical circumstance came about, considering it was about 45-60 minutes after Distension had ended that the bot/web server crashed. If this question causes you to get frustrated due to your aforementioned issues, please just disregard it.

Thanks!

I apologize if you havent read 1 post in this entire thread that pointed out distension causes the server to lag. Thus the reason why distension wont be hosted on sundays. Do yourself a favor and read back. kthx

[Stabwound]

So, what you're saying is that if a few people repeat the same things over and over, those things become true? Hopefully you can see where I'm coming from, but I don't consider people saying things like "I'm lagging because of Distension" to be proof that Distension is causing the server to lag.

Also, how was your reply at all relevant to what I had asked you? TELL ME HOW DISTENSION CRASHED THE BOTS AN HOUR AFTER IT HAD ENDED.

[HateTheFake]

Same way it causes lag to twl

[Stabwound]

Okay, I'm done with this.

[HateTheFake]

Oh did you actually go back and read the posts?

Then congrats

[Stabwound]

No, I refuse to argue with someone who replies to questions with answers such as "Same way it causes lag to twl"

[Liquid Blue]

it did crash the server though

[the_paul]

what

why are they going on strike? because they feel distension isn't being given enough hours?

so they decide to not host at all, and give the distension players even less time to play?

because that's productive, right?

This pretty much sums it all up.

[Dwopple]

distension just caused another zone recycle, thought this was supposed to be fixed and not interfere with twd? can we please move this shit out of TW, because whenever distension is playing, the rest of TW only hears crickets. this IS twl time, arent we supposed to be promoting TWL...not distension?? this is probably the worst time to try and implement distension into TW, thought we were concerned with TWL competition decreasing. Stabwound made a post in the TWL section about how 'spastics main focus is no longer TWL' i mean....? isnt distension the anti-TWL? this makes no sense.

[Scoop]

I completely agree with dwopple. No matter how "fun" distension is to some people, if it continuously makes the zone recycle it should be taken out or put in a new zone. I for one think that it is retarded and is beginning to discourage players from playing tw at all. i counted 3 recycles by the way. I'm sick of it

[Stabwound]

Well, yeah, I'm pretty sure it did recycle the zone twice earlier tonight, but that was supposed to have been fixed. I'd have to agree with not running it regularly until that's sorted out for good, because that's really not acceptable.

I know it's caused recycles before, but the problem is that fact has made some people blame EVERY problem on Distension, including the ones it couldn't possibly have had anything to do with... such as lag/bot issues that occur when Distension hasn't even been running for over 24 hours. That annoys the fuck out of me.

um the entire point of a strike is to completely remove all productivity until the demands are met.

you don't think it's produtive because you don't care about distension. This is like when major league baseball or the NHL strikes-- i don't give two flying fucks about them, but they still strike because some people DO care.

I'm sorry to here that they're on strike, but who can blame them? They themselves are confused to the schedule BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T MAKE IT. All of the player are confused to the schedule.

I would assume they are striking because the schedule is shitty and it isn't followed. Also, it doesn't help that they are threatened with the ax if they host outside the correct time, which would be easy to do by accident if everyone is confused about the time slots. Also, the entire response by the non-distension players has been one of ignorance and hate, and a total lack of respect for the wishes and desires of what IS a large % of the zone now. Not to mention that some of the higher ups seem to be trying to sweep distension under the carpet.


I've said it many times before, if you have zero experience with the TW server (HTF, LB, kthx, even myself) maybe you could stop blaming distension for it's inadequecies?

Afterall, what do you think makes the better argument: MMaverick or Qan saying that the bot is unstable and causing lag/recycles or Wark and HTF saying it is? I'm inclined to listen to people with knowledge over people with loud parroting mouths.

I'm gonna do my best to keep this thread about the actual gameplay of distension, and not about whether it should or shouldn't be hosted. Like dako said, there are 3 other threads in which to flame the game, this one is for people who play it only.

So I'm not replying to wark or HTF in this thread anymore. I'm not replying to you, LB, unless you want to talk about how to play distension, or have suggestions on the gameplay aspects.

If you want to just argue with me, start up a trashtalk thread on distension. My replies along with stab's, tagmor's, viruk's, vehicle's and a few others are probably the only thing keeping these threads out of that forum anyway.
