Flag jupe

[qan]

Code's in for testing spawn boxes, a possible midspawn replacement. Here's a mockup, with two colors used to show the various boxes. The entrances for ears on lower and mid/lower will be slightly larger.

If this works well, it may actually be...

The enjoyment of events is its own reward! But, fair point -- as we've begun awarding more substantial $ for elim, implemented milestones, etc., $25K now means less than it used to. It will bump up to $50K, and hosts can offer more than one shot of this for...

Not totally TWDT-related, but BIET and I were discussing flag jupes and might be on to a solution. I figure this may be the best place to get reliable info at the moment.

Can anyone confirm with certainty that in all flag jupe situations, the...

It's a bit of an extreme measure, but there's really no reason not to try it. WB players may enjoy being able to have open-space spawn duels even with lower pop. They can still attach to contribute to the base game. Having WBs in spawn at all times may also...

[qan]

Seems like a reasonable idea. Could also just force anyone who spawnkills to normal spawn on their next death, with a message telling them what's happened. Simple and aimed at correcting the unwanted behavior immediately, and could be put in fairly quickly...

[qan]

Should be all set now. For some reason it needs to have this in the signature to work:

[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Using this tag allows you to include more than just your sigpic in your sig, which I assume is why they went this route.

[qan]

A fem bot Wouldn't be a bad idea to have WBs spawn outside during low-pop spawn. Worth a try, maybe. The loss of dueling in open space is one of the worst casualties in the war to maintain pop during slow times.

Grasps Gave the normal spawns...

OK, OK, we get it. Welcome back. Locking for racebaiting, though.

Let me know if you want a sigpic restore. Was one of the iconic ones.

[qan]

The population's not large enough to be able to meaningfully test ideas, unfortunately. So we just end up trying them live, for better or for worse.


Bounce on Jav bullets sounds fun for a short period of time, perhaps as a weekend flavor....

[qan]

Rab, I don't know the context of that situation, not having reviewed it.

Jessup, that's not quite a death threat. This rule is meant to punish someone who would say, "I'm going to find where you live, come to your house, light it on fire...

[qan]

Sky is correct. Context is key here.

We're also hoping to apply a more contextual approach to racism. The reason the n-word is punished more often is because it's the most common racial slur, and also one that is racist in pretty much every context....

[qan]

It might not be the best policy, but if it's about staff we tend to give it a bit more leeway so there's less appearance of unfairness or bias. Much like staffers in-game are not supposed to take calls about themselves.

It's been quite a long...

[qan]

Think I mentioned earlier in this thread, Primary did already take a week ban for quite racist comments, but has since served it. If you've seen anything you'd consider excessive, please point it out....

[qan]

Hey guys, sorry to have had to upset the game a bit, but as you may've guessed, kthx will need a replacement. (Or could just lynch, I guess.)

To kthx: I'm sorry to be a bit of a hardass, but rules are rules. We've admittedly been pretty lax lately....

Race-bait thread

[qan]

The entire staff isn't white. Pretty racist to assume so. Please stop posting race-bait threads incessantly. At the very least, keep it to one thread, and under General Discussion.

[qan]

We've always been pretty public about forum bans. It actually says "Banned" by your name when you're banned.


Pretty irritating to force an IP ban by continual ban evasion, kthx. Now you'll have to be manually unbanned later. Adult...

[qan]

Primary was banned for those for a week, yes. You may have noticed that it's been quiet for a bit.


It could have been more racist, but it certainly was racist. I'll edit it out now.

Next time you're evading, you know I'll have...

[qan]

Time to take a break, Wark. You already had a warning for this before. This isn't daycare. You're an adult. 1 week ban for racism.

Primary, please keep the racial stuff down. If it comes to it, your next forum ban will of course be longer.

qan just gonna sit there and allow Bosshawk's racist ass to do whatever, but then pretend you care about the zone LOL. I guess Bosshawk gives good head.
